technical reasons. You can comment at
T112147 if you have objections.In the article "Soft Landing", I had changed "significant damage or destruction" to just "significant damage". I felt that "without causing significant damage" included "without causing the destruction".
Why do you feel it is important to include the phrase "or destruction"?

Dear ZLEA: If you remember, you undid my last change. I added it because in the Spanish version of this wiki there was this phrase, which says: A pesar de que ésta es la última página de Wikipedia, existe el rumor de que hay una página después de ésta, aunque se mantiene sin contenido. ¿La encontraste? I just literally translated and put on the English version of this webpage, so no vandalism was intended. If you understand, please revert your reversion of my edit.

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

T112147 if you have objections.In the article "Soft Landing", I had changed "significant damage or destruction" to just "significant damage". I felt that "without causing significant damage" included "without causing the destruction".
Why do you feel it is important to include the phrase "or destruction"?

Dear ZLEA: If you remember, you undid my last change. I added it because in the Spanish version of this wiki there was this phrase, which says: A pesar de que ésta es la última página de Wikipedia, existe el rumor de que hay una página después de ésta, aunque se mantiene sin contenido. ¿La encontraste? I just literally translated and put on the English version of this webpage, so no vandalism was intended. If you understand, please revert your reversion of my edit.

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.
