I do not believe in the philosophy that wiki markup is "easier than HTML or XML". Sure, most of the time it is shorter, but you have to pay for it: wiki markup is cryptic and marking up contents semantically is not possible. --Keichwa 22:52, 12 Aug 2005 (MDT)

True. wiki is not simpler, Because it's impossible to make simple complicated things. But anybody can write plain text and let the others do the markup :-)

It's not simpler because it add to the html. One can use wiki and html markups.

Yeah, and it interprets ASCII. This means, you must know about its special features. --Keichwa 03:23, 13 Aug 2005 (MDT)

The only simpler thing is publishing. Wiki publishes things as soon as you hit "save", which is not the case of html that needs ftp... jdd 02:07, 13 Aug 2005 (MDT)

I'm still looking for a Wiki-engine that accepts XML as the input format ;) --Keichwa 03:23, 13 Aug 2005 (MDT)

The page needed a lot more than a clean-up of the Wiki-is-better-than-HTML opinion. I altered that text to be a little different, and gave the page an overhaul. --Reverend Ted 21:59, 20 Sep 2005 (MDT)

Save/Preview

From the article:

==Saving==

Your work is not saved before you click the save button. So I think you should do this often. If others users see that you are working, this is not important. If you make a new page, begin it from your own page and link it only after that. For a casual edit, do it in place. The main risk is to preview a page, have a nice idea and completely forget to save the page. I often loose text like this :-).

No need to mention it twice (see above). Save is save and preview is preview - people will learn it.--Keichwa 03:44, 14 Aug 2005 (MDT)

Sorry, I make a mistake

I just wanted to edit this page in Spanish but not to overwrite the original english page.

Feel free to move this to another place.
