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.

==== 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.

==== 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.
