+ | ==== Questions and Answers ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Q:** What has changed on this page since the last time I visited it? | ||
+ | * **A:** Just click on the **Old revisions** button at the top/bottom left of the page. It will show when the page has been changed and by whom. It will also show a change summary message if the person who did the change did not forget to supply it! | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Q:** Why am I getting an **Edit Draft** button instead of the expected **Edit this page** button? | ||
+ | * **A:** The page was not properly saved by the previous person. It is probably safer to //discard// the draft and start with a fresh version of the page. Click on //Edit Draft// then //Delete Draft//... | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Q:** Something must have gone really wrong, because the page that I edited and saved does not look at all correct. Help! :-( | ||
+ | * **A:** It is always possible (though highly unlikely) that something you do drastically alters the appearance of a page, but this is not a major problem. | ||
+ | - Exit your browser, restart it and go back to the page you were editing. If clearing the cache of your browser this way did not help, try the next step. | ||
+ | - On the //bad// page, click on the **Old revisions** button at the top/bottom left of the page. This will show you all the changes that were done to the page. The topmost line (most recent change) should be the change **you** just made, with the //Edit summary// **you** wrote. | ||
+ | * Click on the next (second) line, on the green ''pmip3://wiki_path//'' link. This will display the page how it was //before// you started editing it. | ||
+ | * You can then edit this //old// version of the page, without making mistakes and save it. | ||
+ | * Or you can just edit it and save it without modifications, with an Edit summary looking like\\ //Page reverted to its old state of 2009/02/02 16:19//. | ||
