Hi all,
You might have noticed that the admins here aren't very active at the moment. Although some have popped in recently. Â What this means, is there aren't as many eyes on edits as there usually are. So I want to encourage everyone to learn how to patrol and fix any errors.
The first thing you need to know is how to see what's going on in the whole community. Â For this it's best to use Recent Changes. Â This lists everything that has happened here, including things that aren't listed on Wiki Activity
I recommend that you click the link that says "Hide grouped recent changes". This is above all the lines that show the changes. If you don't see it, look for the arrow next to the text "Recent changes options". When you have this layout, you can see all edits in the order they were made
Recent Changes is a complicated page, but a very useful one. You can check specific edits on articles by clicking "diff", and look at the history of that page with "hist". You can also see comments and log entries and lots more
If you find a bad edit, go to the history page by clicking the link on Recent changes, or the link in the edit dropdown on the article page. That gives you the chance to see exactly what's in old versions of that article. Just click the date of any version to see how it looked at that time
If there's a bad edit, you can often removed it by clicking "undo". If you can't undo, maybe because there are other edits in the way, then you can click on the date of the last good version, and then save without changing anything.
So that's the basics of how to patrol the wikia, I hope some of you will give it a go and help keep the wikia clean!
Let me know if you have any problems or questions :)
