This page has information for the minimal caretakers of GayHalifax.
A couple of times a day
- check RecentChanges; this lists changes at the moment they are made. If it's not near the top of RecentChanges, it didn't get changed.
- It's possible that someone won't leave a comment, but the system will always move that page name to the top and add the latest version number to the beginning of the line.
- Look at the diffs to see if the changes are constructive.
- Previous revisions are available for every page. You can edit a previous revision and copy content out, or just save it and it will replace the current version.
Once A Day
- Pick a well-written and well-crosslinked article for the "Featured Article" section of FrontPage and edit that in.
Once A Month
- Expire old day pages using the "wikicopy" script
