Welcome to a horrible example of how you shouldn't edit ModEnc.
For those who don't frequent the Recent Changes, there recently was a user who managed to do the following:
He saved 22 revisions spread over 5 wishlist pages, to add a total amount of 13 lines. Not only does this mean he almost saved two pages for every one line he added, nooo, actually, that's not even necessary. Had he simply edited the page as he wanted it to be and saved, he'd only have to have edited each page once - resulting in five saved revisions, one for each page.
He also managed to put his nickname behind every single one of the lines he added, despite the fact that this behavior is clearly deprecated in the styleguide.
He took the time in between wishing to move around other people's wishes and comment on them (directly on the wishlist).
...and in the end, he usually started off each page by saving his wish on top of the list, correcting it in one of his later revisions.
His personal Toplist is as follows:
Those of you who don't understand the problem with this have just auto-signed up for a mandatory reading of ModEnc:Styleguide#Preview; all others, please assume a fetal position and wait for Maid Tanya to clean up your remains.
Thank you

- Wishlist/Page 6 (4 Revisions)
- Wishlist and Wishlist/Page 5 (both 3 Revisions)
