Watchlist
editThe easiest way to keep abreast of things that are happening on pages that you have edited is to click My watchlist in the menu bar at the Right hand top of EVERY page you are on (as long as you log in as User:Hamiddrake). Most editors go to their watchlists first thing. Its like checking the Mail at the front door. Its a record of what has happened since your last editing visit. Have Fun. See you soon. ```Buster Seven Talk 15:45, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
