User:Proteins/Watchlist and history tutorial

Editing on Wikipedia is collaborative. Many people will collaborate with you to improve articles, whether by correcting minor typos or by adding images and large sections of well-referenced content. This tutorial shows you how to keep abreast of changes made to articles.

There are three basic approaches. The broadest approach is create a "watchlist" of articles that interest you. Such a watchlist records the most recent change in the each article, listed in reverse chronological order. A second, more focused approach is to examine the history of edits made to a single article. The third, less common approach is to compile an list of articles that interest you, and then click on the "Related changes" link in the lefthand column.
