Watching for changes

Clicking the "Recent changes" link in the interaction menu on every page will give you a list of all edits in the last few minutes. If you just want to watch for changes to articles you have edited, use your Watchlist. You can add articles to your Watchlist by clicking "Watch this page" tab (starred) at the top of any article (the talk page will be auto-watched, too). You can click "Related changes" in the toolbox menu on any page to see changes made to the pages linked from the one you are viewing. And finally, you can click the "My contributions" link to view a log of your edits; if yours is no longer the edit marked with "top", then someone else has edited the page.

Tip of the day scheduling queue

This is the tip scheduling queue. Note that the pages are named by date, but without a year. By not having a year, these pages get displayed year after year in a perpetual loop by this project's templates. Therefore, these pages are updated with new tips from time to time. Once a tip is displayed, it should be recorded in (copied to) the tip of the day archives.

If you have privileged access to web pages...

The "perfect" Misplaced Pages article is built on solid research (remember to cite your sources). Contrary to popular belief, not all information is available for free on the Internet. Some research is only published in scientific journals and books (ask your library for remote lending services); some material is available only in commercial, password-protected electronic databases. If you have access to useful research material, please add the relevant information to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Resource Exchange, a central portal to find Wikipedians with access to such resources. Remember we can only use facts from sources such as these, not a particular copyrighted expression thereof.

If you are a qualified user you can request access to the databases of paywalled resources proctored by The Misplaced Pages Library. Qualification usually involves having 500–1000 main namespace edits and 6–12 months tenure editing on Misplaced Pages.
