- Before loading scripts, consult with a senior editor on their application. It is usually best to not load multiple new scripts at the same time. Instead, learn how one functions before going to the next. Note that you are responsible for all your edits. Whether a script identified and suggested the edit or not is irrelevant. Improper use of any script - may lead to demotion or loss of editing privileges.
