===Concerns that people might miss important changes===

One data collector was concerned that important changes like this (septicemia) might be missed if we rely on data collectors following the '''Recent Changes''', and suggested email notification of important changes. Tina is worried that if there is notification of ''"important"'' changes, people will feel that it is not necessary to keep up to date with Recent Changes.

Upon discussion with the data collector, Tina found out that the problem was really one of lack of understanding how to use the Recent Changes. If everyone could review and follow the instructions in [[My Preferences in the wiki]], then clicking on '''"diff"''' or '''"# changes"''' for the changed article, rather than the link for the article, one will actually see a '''''Summary of the changes''''' rather than just the new version of the article.
