Only thing I am noticing is that you are doing it all manually, as you have not seemed to have noticed the big button section just below the edit box and [Save page] [Show preview] [Show changes] Cancel {{!}} Editing help (opens in new window) that looks like... (*Note: By placing a reference to what the edit box at the bottom looks like here, the wiki may have trouble creating a second instance of it at the bottom of the page, you may check out this instance on this page. It should still be working correctly on every other page.)

I hope this makes some of your editing easier! {{Face|grin}} }} {{Post|1|Yskuma (Contributions &bull; Message) 12:17, August 20, 2012 (EDT)| Heh, thanks. I'd seen the templates at the bottom but for quick changes it seemed easier to just type them. Does it make a difference either way? I realise may capitalisation might not be the same... To be honest most of the work I'm doing is to make my own life easier when I run an export {{Face|embarrassed}}. The templates are really helpful for getting consistent data. Do you mind me filling them in en mass like that? }}
