RecentChanges
When you make an edit at a wiki, the system is transparent by showing the edit on the Special:Recentchanges page. This page shows the activity and the health of a wiki.
RecentChanges patrollers look at every edit made to this wiki to ensure that each is constructive.
- There are +- numbers next to the edits, that refers to the number of characters added or deleted. This helps people look for patterns of activity. e.g. spammers and vandals.
- There are small m's - those denote minor edits, usually for copy editing.
- There are capital N's which point out newly created pages.
