Edit counts!

[lian]

Inofficial post is unofficial and curious.

I only very occasionally add stuff to Fanlore, but I used to be a heavy editer back in the day. So it idly occured to me to check my edit count: I've never done that before, but apparently it's right there under "My preferences".

Turns out my edit count is 1,208. Hmmm... honestly, I have no idea whatsoever whether that's meagre? average? creditable? (I thought it was more, tbh, seeing as I do tons of silly little typo edits etc.)


Indulge me -- what's your edit count? And how does it compare to your expectations? Any anecdotes you want to share?

But of course there are multpile counts for a single page ?_? does anyone edit differently? Probably not prudent. I always do lots of mid-edit-saves myself. That doesn't discount that sublime number at all! :D

I totally avoid mid-save/multiple edits. It's just so nice having it perfect (not that there is such a thing on a wiki) in one go. Also, other than simple fact-checking, I'm generally nervous about editing so I'll work on and save edits in a notepad file for a few days to make sure it's accurate and to my liking before doing one massive edit. For instance, at the moment I have a few pages in notepad only; they're redlinked on Fanlore. One day I'll be happy enough with them to add them....

If I did mid-save edits, maybe my number would be triple? Haha!

Interesting! I edit as I go, basically -- if I don't get it onto the page right away,I never do. I only keep offline notes where I collect quotes etc. and other research, but it's pretty rare. I try to wean myself off perfectionism in wiki editing too -- the only thing I'm completely anal about is sources XD
