Look at this page as an example.

At the bottom, various people have kept note what they changed/edited. While this isn't a bad thing, there's a dedicated "Summary" field for that very purpose in the "Edit Page" form.

You can then see the summary of the changes in the Page History for any given entry.

So please, use the Summary field. And think of the kittens. Thank you for your time.

I'd like to sign up to be FSDoc contributor...

I have a great wealth of info on the FS universe and have exceptional grammar and spelling.

I know I haven't contributed much to the community SCP or modelwise, but this is something I can actually do.

What do you mean indirectly.  I've put some stuff in there, and have never signed up anywhere.  The only condition is that your name has to be a WikiWord.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

Erm, Sandwich, this is why I asked for "talk" pages like on wikipedia. Easier for discussion.

I've put quite a lot of stuff up there and never figured out what the summary field was for. Thanks, Sandwich :)

What is a "talk" page?


Every page has one, it's basicly just a page with the name of the page it belongs to and Talk: prefixec. It's meant as a discussion area, and a place to log all your actions. Example:

Page Command line reference:
blalbbla

page Talk: Command Line Reference:
added blalbbla remark, this should be re-formatted and checked for spelling -- Kasperl.

You get the idea.

Erm... I'd have to see it in action somewhere. Is it an automatically-generated mod/page/whatever?

Ahh, ok. I get it. Like a forum thread for each news post. ;)

I think that's a MediaWiki-only feature - or, at least, it's not in the phpWiki AFAIK.
