If you (Tom) are browsing pages on the '''Chinese Grammar Wiki''' and then coming back to the '''Chinese Vocabulary Wiki''', it's ''extremely easy to accidentally edit the wrong wiki''. Please pay attention to this issue! As soon as you edit a page, check the URL. Check again before you save.
 
 
 
(One way to prevent this is to only give you (Tom) editor access to only one wiki. We'll see if we can get away with this for now.)
