Taking a moment to pass on a really good tip someone gave me:
1. Go the wiki, log in, and click on "my preferences" at the top
right.
2. Click on the "Watchlist" tab.
3. Make sure that "Add pages I edit to my watchlist" is selected.
I would venture to say this option is *vital* for anyone working on
Docs, or the wiki. If you work on a page you want to know if someone
changes it after you're gone so you can make sure things stay
consistent.
I would also highly recommend adding pages you care about to your
permanent watchlist. To do that:
1. On the upper right, click "my watchlist."
2. Click the small link under the page title that reads, "Edit raw
watchlist."
3. Add page titles to the list (e.g. "DocsProject/WorkFlow")
When any page on your watchlist is edited you'll get an email. Of
course, you should set up a filter that puts those emails somewhere
useful. I have a folder in my email account so all the wiki edits
stay together and I can examine them all consecutively and quickly.
Anybody else have handy tips for wiki minding?
