Also. I've been here since... 2014? It's been a while, you know?

I used the common method of editing until Jetty gave me a important service to do. I don't remember exactly. Maybe it was the big Super Soaker page package day, in which I created, like, 30 pages in a day and Jetcell checked them for mistakes.

I noticed that she always edited my things, because I always forgot to put the summaries on the end of the pages- those boxes you click to see other blasters from the line, by example. I didn't want to make her redo my work, so I tried to copy and paste a page that was already done and just fix the details between blasters. They were from the same series, after all. The boxes would be the same.

I couldn't, obviously. That was when someone told me- can't remember. Maybe GaGe, when he was still here?- about the source code.

Now, that I could copy and paste! It had a lot of code that I couldn't even figure out, though. And then something surprising started to happen:

I learned how to use both. For hard jobs that include repetitive tasks, I use the source editor. I forced myself to learn what each thing on our pages meant. Jetcell is a Graphic Designer, so she always had the imagination to create and the skills to make it look good. Her page is an example of that, there's no other like it on this Wiki. I'll admit, I've read her page's source code over and over again, to try and get some of her skill.

And to fix misspellings, putting infoboxes and other simple and quick stuff? Using the source mode is just stressing. I use the common editing platform. There is no shame in that.

No one is a normie, or wrong for using what they think that's easier. As long as you help, I am pretty glad you are here!
