Cool, yeah, I think you see that I figured out the work around. It was fun to find that. But you are pointing out that much can be done even in preview, obviating the need to necessarily mark up the "old" page.
I've been on wiktionary only seventy hours but it moves so much faster than wikipedia, where I have 5+ years, that I am learning stuff at warp speed. It amazes me how the bot formats up some relatively bare entries that I made drawing on personal knowledge, allowing me to plow forward and dump my knowledge and not waste time on stuff the bots can do. If I have any talent at this, it is a certain instinct for the language that I think is being lost in the world of commodities and instant gratification.
