Question for wiki authors

Question for wiki authors

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi,

As you may know, Patrick and I are constantly reviewing the edits on
the wiki to filter out bad people(tm).

In doing so, it is not always immediately obvious who is doing what
because the 'recent changes' list quite often does not contain a useful
summary message. This is understandable, but it would really help
if everybody would at least put something in the Summary field.

On a related note: I think it would be nice if the people that use
a wildly different ID on the wiki from their emails on the list
could create a short wiki page under their user name so that we
can easily make the connection to a 'known person'. This is not
a requirement at all, but it would be really handy during
administration, so if you do not mind putting such a page up,
please do.

Thanks,
Taco

+1 Thanks for mentioning this! Sometimes I am really unsure, especially if this edit is from an anonymous user.
