Want to fool around in the wiki without worrying about screwing up existing articles? [[Sandbox|Go play in the sandbox]]!

== Watch List ==

Often, you will want to know the state of a particular page. This can be especially true if:

* You are the original author

* You have proposed a change

* You are actively involved in the [[Wiki How To Guide#Discussion|discussion]] of a page

* The page is a work in progress and you'd like to monitor it's development

Luckily the wiki provides us with a very helpful tool for monitoring the last time a particular page was edited and they do this with a "watch list".

=== Adding ===

You can add any page to your watch list by simply clicking on the "watch" button located on the same row as the "page" and "discussion" buttons but to the far right. When you click "watch" the button will change to "unwatch" and wiki will give you a notice letting you know that the page has been added to your watch list and a few details as to what it will do.

=== Viewing ===

To view if any changes have been made to those pages you have put in your watch list; you only need to click on the "my watchlist" link located in the top right hand corner of the wiki page. This page will list any and all changes applied to the pages you've defined in your watch list and highlight the ones that you have not recently visited (so that you can find them easier).

=== Removing ===

Should you, in the future, wish to remove a page from your watch list; simply navigate back to the page and click the "unwatch" button.
