==Keeping up-to-date==
Most experienced users like to keep up-to-date with everything that is happening on Bulbapedia, so they spot if something is happening or if something is wrong they can edit it quickly. Bulbapedia makes thousands of edits an hour, so its important to keep track on everything that is happening. It is easy to see all the edits that users are making by clicking "Recent changes" on the sidebar menu. The Recent Changes page lets you see the most recent edits made to pages in Bulbapedia, and it can also let you see all the changes it made by comparing the previous version with the newly edited one. It does this in reverse-chronological order, so the most recent edits are displayed on the list first. "diff" links to the diff-page for this edit; it is not available for new pages, or for page moves, while the "hist" link corresponds to the Page history link on the edited page: it shows not just this edit but also older and newer ones. For page moves, the hist link leads to the history of the new page title. A bold '''m''' indicates that the user marked the edit "minor", while a bold '''N''' indicates that the page is "new", and previously did not exist. This is a really useful tool to use to monitor and review the work of other users.
