That’s one way to go. That would put more work on to the thread creator which I would not like to see but is an option.

The only useful tips I can give are not using the next free slot (chances of overwriting are fewer if you leave a bunch free between the last used and yours) and copy your name and cancel the edit with any warning message, edit again and paste it, it’s faster …

Do you know why names would be bolded?

When you add ** before and after a word it get`s bolded. strong text ** Bolded **, I added the spaces so you could see.

What I meant is like for example, I didn’t bold my name but someone did. Is there a reason for that?

Not that I know of. I see some do it and some don`t. As far as I know it serves no real purpose. Could be to help OP organize so when shipped they could unbold or something like that.

The bold is to signify your countries distributor already had your address on file.

Now how to create a wiki. TL3 members can make their own posts a wiki for I believe it is 30 days, past that they will need someone from TeamOG or the MOD team to do it for them. To make your post a wiki you first click the 3 little dots on bottom right of your post.
From there you click the wrench that appears.
Now you click on make wiki and you are done.
It’s a quick and simple process. Hope this helps folks out.

You are missing the colon on the end. There needs to be one at the beginning and end bud. Just add a colon after US: so it is colonUScolon @hawkman
EDIT: I fixed it for your @hawkman

As an example for folks look at this. The wiki signup has 150 spots. There were 370 edits on this wiki and at that point only 127 spots filled. That means almost every entry had to be done 3 times. Well 2.9 but you get the point. During all those edits many people who signed up got booted off due to over writing. So imagine signing up for something, logging off and coming back to find out someone had wiped you off the list. This leads to a ton of frustration for folks when they should really be feeling gratitude to the grower and those involved in making the run happen. Be good to each other folks and take the time to be extra careful when editing a wiki. It will lead to a much better experience for all.

Now a note on how a wiki works so folks can have an understanding of what is going on. Think of it like saving a spread sheet. 3 people are in a new wiki and it’s blank, all 3 are in a version that has no data and they each open up a draft to edit. The first person saves in spot 1.
The first person saving updated the wiki but it does not update the draft copies that the other 2 have open. Now the second person that saves puts their name in spot 5 but all other spots are blank on their draft version so when they save it replaces spot one with a blank.
Now the third person puts their name on spot 2. When they save their draft version only has them on slot 2 and all other spots are blank so it changes spot 5 to a blank as that’s what the draft version they are saving shows.
Because each person had a blank draft open and that draft is not affected by what is done to the wiki in real time it will kill all updates done to the actual wiki while they had their draft open.
A bit long winded I know but I am hoping that will help folks understand why the overwriting happens.

@DougDawson you should also show, in your awesome pictorial style, what/where to look (top right) to see if there is someone else currently editing a wiki…as in impending edit conflict unless someone quietly back away…
