Maintenance
[Changelog] : All changes made in the last 90 days less "my changes" [New pages] : Every page in descending order by date, filter by username [File list] : All uploaded files descending order by date uploaded [User list] : List of all users A-Z [Undo versus Rollback] : Rollback works much quicker than undo and may only be used in certain circumstances; most commonly to revert obvious vandalism.
Templates
- This is a way to include text from one page within text on another page. Say the same definition for something is use in multiple pages, and you want to keep all pages current by modification of only one place, you can use a normal Wiki page as a template. Just don't put any categories on the page being used as a template.
{{:Pagename}}
So if Pagename is the definition or text you want to include in other pages, use the syntax above. For an example in this wiki see GoogleUpdate which is used in Processes in the Windows Task Manager.
