A dummy edit is a slight change in an article's wikitext that has no effect on the rendered page but allows you to save a useful edit summary. This is like a SMS (Short Message Service).
To make a "dummy edit" just make a slight non-rendering change to the page, fill out the edit summary with your short message including this tag: [[WP:dummy edit]] (include the four square brackets), and save your change. (Note that a null edit does not modify the wikitext and does not allow you to leave an edit summary.)
Neuigkeiten von der Redaktionskonferenz am 11. und 12. Februar:
—2006—
Ein weiteres Brettspiel (= Drachenjäger von Xorlosch?) und noch ein nettes Gimmick (Überraschung) erfreut das Sammler- (und Brettspieler-) –herz.
—2007—
Und nicht zuletzt soll es in 2007 endlich losgehen mit dem von Geheimnis umwobenen Projekt „TNBT“, das bereits seit längerer Zeit durch die Foren kursiert, dessen erste Anfänge sich bereits in einem Abenteuerband mit viel Rot auf dem Cover angekündigt haben, und das seine Schatten bereits vor 2007 voraus werfen wird. (Ja, ich weiß, ich könnte mich auch mal etwas konkreter ausdrücken – darf ich aber nicht. ;-)) Und wo ich gerade dabei bin, noch ein paar weitere Stichworte ohne weitere Erklärung und ohne weiteren Kommentar: Donnergrollen, Gischt und eine Herausforderung, die man erst annimmt und sich danach fragt, ob eine Dame nicht vielleicht etwas zu übersteigerte Vorstellungen vom Leistungsvermögen einer Heldengruppe hat. Zwei dieser Stichworte gehören zusammen, ein weiteres bildet den Anfang einer weiteren Kampagne, der ich jetzt einfach mal eigenmächtig eine Abkürzung geben werde, die alles besagt, aber nur aus den Anfangsbuchstaben des Aussagesatzes besteht: PKMTUVUVC. ;-)

Thanks to the ongoing democracy movement, monarchy in Nepal either to be abolished – and Nepal to become a republic – or to be turned into a constitutional one? Other democratic improvements to be expected if Maoists are successfully included.
18 May: Mandate of current president of Italy expires, new one to be sworn in. After legislative elections. Prodi to assemble new government afterwards?

Tokelau rejected free assocation with New Zealand in a referendum in February 2006 (a majority of aroudn 60% was in favour, but not the required supermajority of 66.6%).
