User blog:JosephK9/Things I didn't know

Editing Habitica has been a learning experience. A couple self-notes/things to track down.


 * It's a little challenging to figure out all of the templates and infoboxes available. I'll take another look at the Keep and the Guidance for Scribes, but for now, I'm mostly watching more experienced editors. (It probably makes sense to start taking some notes).
 * I had missed the note in the Guidance that the "Under Construction" template signals that an editor is working on a major overhaul, so communicate before editing. It seems to me that's not an ideal way of communicating the idea - in a perfect world, you would get a warning when you open the editor, so that the communication is unambiguous and invisible to readers. (I had been using the template to signal to readers that a page was incomplete and would be updated soon, but didn't intend to block other edits.)
 * I find myself "saving up" some edits so that I can get the streak achievements. I wonder if that's common for new Wikings?
