There is always a link to the day page (just below the map on the right) from each of the expedition pages.  The list of the day's expeditions and plans can always be accessed from there.  The main reason to refrain from transcluding this list on all of the expedition pages is that each of those pages needs to be updated (by the wiki server itself) any time the bot comes around and changes the list (which can be quite often, especially on weekends).  If you wish to include it on your own expedition page, that is fine, but please let other people add it to their own expeditions if they want it.  I strongly urge you to create a discussion page to talk about making the list a part of the expedition template, because it looks like it may be helpful for navigating through expeditions on a given day, and might be well received.  However, I think it might be best to avoid adding it to other people's expeditions until it has been discussed by the community.  --[[User:Aperfectring|aperfectring]] 00:52, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Today

Neil wonders if 2010-09-13_52_1 is in a tiger enclosure. The hashpoint is at Banham Zoo.

Stealth hashing is fun but not today! Is there a get yourself arrested award?

Previewing

The preview button is your friend.

Or at least the friend of anyone who is looking at "recent changes".

If you hit this instead of "save" when you are editing a page, it will let you see what it looks out, but not save the edit. Thus, you can check it and modify it, and not fill up the "Recent changes" log with a lot of tiny edits to the same page. Jiml 01:48, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Other expedition plans additions

There is always a link to the day page (just below the map on the right) from each of the expedition pages. The list of the day's expeditions and plans can always be accessed from there. The main reason to refrain from transcluding this list on all of the expedition pages is that each of those pages needs to be updated (by the wiki server itself) any time the bot comes around and changes the list (which can be quite often, especially on weekends). If you wish to include it on your own expedition page, that is fine, but please let other people add it to their own expeditions if they want it. I strongly urge you to create a discussion page to talk about making the list a part of the expedition template, because it looks like it may be helpful for navigating through expeditions on a given day, and might be well received. However, I think it might be best to avoid adding it to other people's expeditions until it has been discussed by the community. --aperfectring 00:52, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
