Version 7 of How to update a page

Updated 2003-05-19 15:22:29

Jacob Levy 05/18/2003 It would be really nice if people would, when updating an existing page, mark their changes and updates with their name and date, as I do here. That way it'll be easier to follow conversations.

Comments?

(Jacob Levy 05/18/2003 the this page in escargo's comment refers to the home page, where these comments originated.)

escargo 18 May 2003 - I have made some really minor copyediting changes (which should be revealed by the wikidiff). I think this is one page that should not be marked by any more text than absolutely necessary. (For example, I think this little subsection should be removed once minimization is considered to be a good thing.) Giving people credit or having people take responsibility is generally good, but in this specific case I think noncontroversial changes should be allowed to stand without attribution.

escargo 19 May 2003 - Apparently jcw agreed that the home page did not need to be burdened with this discussion.


RS 2003-05-19: Please also consider that changes are most easily seen if they're at the end of a page. And some pages have grown to more than sufficient size, so best fork out a new page if a new point in discussion comes up.
