User blog comment:Dopp/Upcoming change: Removing the divider between the Edit button and Content/@comment-1474707-20110427213108

I'd tend to agree that the results of your testing may be slightly skewed, by the fact you moved history to a small corner of the edit button - perhaps people were trying to access the history and accidentally pressed edit? You seem to have worded it "people hit the edit button more often" rather than "people edited the page more often" - is more clicks of the button literally all that happened? I personally dislike the change, but am a bit biased given that my main wiki has "hacked" your official wikia layout as you so accusatively phrase it ;)
