Help:Tracking changes/sco



MediaWiki affers ae collection o byordiair pages n tuils tae keep track o whit's gaun oan in the wiki. Sae ye can watch fer example:


 * recynt chynges til aw pages
 * the luikower histerie: aw chynges dun til the ae page
 * the contreebutions o yin speceefeec uiser
 * newlie cræftit pages

The most interesting special page is Special:RecentChanges. This page displays all edits, file uploads, page moves, deletions and other actions done in the wiki. The menu at the top offers a collection of links to customize your display: limit the number of changes or the number of days shown or restrict the display to show edits to a certain namespace only. You can also hide edits marked as minor (but don't forget that a change can be major even though the user flagged it as minor).

One line in the Recent Changes page consists of several links:
 * “” displays the difference from the previous revision of the page
 * “” links to the revision history of the page
 * the full title of the page links to the current version. If the page is on your watchlist, the title appears in bold.

Next is a flag describing the page modification type:
 * “” denotes a new page
 * “” denotes a minor edit
 * “” denotes an edit made by a bot
