Editing Ones Own Definition Contributions

Has anyone discovered how to edit a post of one's own making?

I found the HELP page rather intriguing ... go ahead ... and find out for yourself.

In the meantime, I might actually have to pull up the links Tomás emailed us.

ANSWER TO EDITING A POST

Search for term in upper right-hand corner search box. It will take you to the definition page with an Edit button at the top of the page.

Expansion to Editing a Page

Once you're logged in, every page has an "edit" tab on the top right. That will allow you to edit the page, even a "Discussion" page like this one.

This is a great page showing how to upload and display images. With video tutorial and all. Picture tutorial Tom (talk) 19:53, 8 November 2012 (PST)

HELP Links for Website

Here are the How To links Lisa emailed us:

I also placed these links under HELP in the left sidebar.

UPDATE: Just saw that Tomas had already provided HELP links at the top of the page!

Signatures

This is very easy, you can put this squiggly thing "~" 4 times in a row and it will place your name & time like so: Tom (talk) 21:51, 7 November 2012 (PST)

No. of Terms in the draft HGS Glossary outline

There are 1240 terms in the hardcopy draft HGS Glossary outline I sent everyone. I wonder if there is a way of keeping track of the number of terms uploaded? I envision two big boxes side by side showing 1240 in one box and the number of terms uploaded in the box next to it. Actually, there should be a way to do this because each term has its own page so somewhere in the system you'd think there was a running tally of pages ... hmmmm. More to investigate. I could tuck this tally away on 'My Talk' if this is just of interest to me.

Newest Posts at the Top of the Discussion Page

Personally, I would like to see the latest posts at the top of the Discussion Page rather than at the bottom. Does this make more sense to everyone else? Will save a lot of scrolling, I'm thinking.

Undefined Terms

Lisa, what is your thought on undefined terms being uploaded for others to define because we may not know the definition ourselves? Audrey (talk) 07:40, 9 November 2012 (PST)
