Motto of the day... “ This is a temporary Motto of the Day. Hooray!! ” Nominate one! Tip of the day... What are dummy edits good for? A dummy edit is a slight change in an article's wikitext that has no effect on the rendered page but allows you to save a useful edit summary. This is like a SMS (Short Message Service). To make a "dummy edit" just make a slight non-rendering change to the page, fill out the edit summary with your short message including this tag: [[WP:dummy edit]] (include the four square brackets), and save your change. (Note that a null edit does not modify the wikitext and does not allow you to leave an edit summary.) Uses for dummy edits: Correcting a previous edit summary Repairing insufficient attribution for copy-and-pasted Wikipedia content Addressing an accidental use of rollback Providing a note, from a user while logged-in, that notes an edit performed while logged out Sending brief messages regarding editing issues Providing proof of activity from time to time by a dormant but not dead user Prompting a bot to re-examine a page Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Help:Dummy edit   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}
