When you edit a page, you can use the Preview button (located right next to the Save page button) to see in advance what your edits will look like. This lets you check your work periodically without filling up the page history by making lots of smaller edits. The preview function can also help you avoid mistakes, such as when using an unfamiliar type of wiki markup. The preview will appear together with the edit box you have been working in (either above or below it, however you prefer).
An even faster way to preview a page is with the keyboard shortcut ⇧ Shift+alt+P.
L'Ukraine a toujours aspiré à être libre ; mais étant entourée de la Moscovie, des États du grand-seigneur et de la Pologne, il lui a fallu chercher un protecteur, et par conséquent un maître, dans l'un de ces trois Etats. Elle se mit d'abord sous la protection de la Pologne, qui la traita trop en sujette ; elle se donna ensuite au Moscovite, qui la gouverna en esclave autant qu'il le put.
