Add preview function to editing contributions
I recently was making a new contribution to a trivia item, and was linking a few movie/person profiles. It provides feedback on what may be wrong with your post, but if it doesn't recognize something, it won't show you that it's wrong. In this case, I'd done the following:
_Show Title_ (qv). Since I was unable to verify that this worked, I submitted as is. I see in the contributions page though, that this is not linked properly, whereas the people I linked works fine(I'd gotten 2 errors to fix, so knew they were fine). Seems the only way to verify, is to submit something you know is wrong, and fix it after it displays the error.
A preview function would help tremendously in this. Or if there is one, make it more prominent, as I was unable to find the preview.

I was hoping to find an existing request like this (for editing / adding contributions), but I'm a little dismayed that it's from 2015 and there is still no preview function…
I only noticed after a submission I just made that there was an extra space before a period. Argh!
