| === Usersnoop ===
| |
| As of 12 August 2008 we have '''[[Usersnoop]]''' installed on the wiki to be able to track that everyone receives all updates and changes. You '''must''' "log in" on in order for usersnoop to mark an article as read, so you need to log on to the wiki even for viewing now. '''

| A link to RECENT CHANGES is now on the MAIN PAGE.

| === Fixing the times displayed in Recent Changes ===
| |
| Since wikis are often used in global teams, they default to standard time for their time zone. To set the wiki to local time:
| |
| # Click on "my preferences" at the top right corner
| |
| # Click on the "Date and Time" tab
| |
| # Click the "Fill in from browser" button
| |
| # Click on "Save"
| |
| With these changes, the edit time on the wiki should now look normal.

| *trish here. My time display always seems to change. The above instruction is followed however, from time to time, the "TIME" changes and is no longer stamping the correct current. time.[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 19:46, 22 December 2008 (CST)

| | |
| ==== Making the Recent Changes "enhanced" ====
| |
| To make the recent changes listing more easy to read, set it to enhanced mode.
| |
| # Click on "my preferences" at the top right corner
| |
| # Click on the "Recent Changes" tab
| |
| # Check the checkbox for "Enhanced recent changes (JavaScript)"
| |
| # Click on "Save"
| |
| | |
| The new setting will combine recent changes to the same article in the same listing and give the number of changes instead of listing a separate line for each change, thus making the list shorter.
| |
| | |
| *I found doing these changes VERY useful, the recent changes are indeed easier to navigate, and I also changed the time so I can tell when it was written--[[User:JHutton|JHutton]] 10:21, 29 October 2008 (CDT)

| ** I am glad to hear that. I hope your comment encourages someone to actually look at this page. From questions I get I have a feeling not too many people have actually looked at it. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 10:23, 29 October 2008 (CDT)
| |
| *can we get more comments about this from other collectors please. Have others used this?[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 22:38, 29 October 2008 (CDT)

| If an article does not have a discussion section yet, add one to the end of the article by adding the following before any <nowiki>[['''Category''':...]]</nowiki> entries (you can cut-and-paste these 3 lines from here):
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>{{Discussion}} </nowiki>
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>==Discussion==</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>* your point...</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| If an article for the topic you are concerned about '''does not exist yet''' (i.e. you have typed any keywords you can think of into the "search" box and clicked on the "search" button), '''[[Starting an Entry|create an article]]''' on the topic. Add the tag
| |
| <nowiki>{{Discussion}} </nowiki> to the article to categorize it as a question.

With a geographically distributed team that works diverse hours communication is a challenge. Every data collector is required to engage in specified a minimal amount of communication.
Emails, Voice mails and the Recent Changes need to be checked at the beginning of every data collection session / shift.

See Discussion & Question Instruction for information how we use the wiki for communication. Also please see How to edit the wiki.

"Recent Changes" Link
There is a link called "recent changes" in the "navigation panel" in the top left corner. This link will tell you the wiki articles that have been changed recently. Every entry either has a diff link or a # changes link (where "#" can be any number); following this link will show you what has actually changed in the article so you would not have to review the entire article.
Keeping track of the recent changes will tell you when a question or discussion item you have posted is addressed.
There were concerns that important updates might get missed if we rely solely on "recent changes" for communication. A training session was held to remedy this on April 9. If you still have difficulty using the recent changes functionality, please contact p:Tina Tenbergen.
