====== Reviewing and Improving Entries ======
===== Review Recent Changes =====

  * The "Recent changes" button shows all changes to the entire wiki. Click the link to see the page.

  * When on any page, the "Old revisions" button will list all of the saved versions of the page.

  * Click the eyeglasses icon to compare that version with the previous version.

  * Use the "Show page" button to return to the entry.

===== Delete a Page If Necessary =====
(You could test this in the [[playground:playground]].)

To completely delete a page:

1. Navigate to the page.

2. Open it for editing.

3. Delete all of the text in the editing page.

4. Save the page.

===== Explore the Index =====
If you press the Index button, you will see a list called "namespaces." 

  * The English namespace is "terms."
 
  * Pages in other languages appear under the language abbreviation.

  * All pages are listed by "page name." A page name is different than the title of the "entry," and does not change even if the title of the entry is edited.

  * Pages are not immediately added to the index--a 24-hour delay allows community members to review the Recent Changes before being added to the index.

===== Other Ways to Improve the Wiki =====

  * Create links to other wiki terms when used in the text of a definition. For example:

"Instructions on basic editing are on the [[start]] page. You may also want to review [[wiki:syntax | wiki syntax]]."


  * Create index pages for a target language to add "alphabetical" indexes similar to the English indexes.
