I find this shit funny as hell in the short term, but
It does make our work harder.
If you really need to take a screenshot for the meme, please at least just use the VisualEditor, which is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editor that will allow for a near-identical screenshot without actually publishing. If it’s not perfectly identical, you can go to the source editor and click ‘Preview’, which will actually render an identical page without publishing.
We really do take neutrality seriously – not primarily for our image but because, empirically, not doing that destroys the quality of the project.
Inspect will be fine for basic text edits, but it’ll get annoying compared to the VE or source editor if you’re adding a lot of text or trying to do something semi-elaborate.
On the other hand, Inspect will work where the editor won’t if the article is protected and you lack access.

Alternatively you can also right click, press Inspect, and then edit the HTML, which will look perfect and also not actually change anything.
right click? what is this the stone age
the right click method goes directly into the selected elements
Work a little for a change.
I always favored

I just want to say, thank you for your efforts!
Or just press F12 and edit stuff right there.
