Admins: it is recommended that you create a wiki account and subscribe to the page regex `.*` (all pages) to keep informed of what everyone is up to. Then, please document all of your work on here somewhere - that way we will not only have a record, but get emailed when it is done. will let you know all the relevant subpages. From my experience, I would recommend longer pages, instead of dividing a topic into lots of subpages. When there are too many subpages, I've found that some will be updated, and some will fall out of date. (Of course, use your judgment here.) |
