You can edit tasks very easily with the form you used to create it. There is a link on every task page below the information table.

3. Complete Tasks

On the entity pages there is a small box which shows the tasks corresponding to this page. It shows just the title which links the page of this task. If the task is assigned to you or free for everybody to do there is a button you can click if you completed the task. The information is stored as a semantic subobject with the task.

4. SpecialPage Tasks

There is a special page listing all tasks. It is listed under the Lists of pages header. You can personalize this list by passing on the GET parameter user. Just add "&user=USERNAME" to the end of the url. 5. Emails sent by the extension

When a task is created every assignee receives an email. On the reminder day every assignee receives an email. On the deadline day every assignee receives an email.
