Discussion items
Creating anchors to a specific place in a page does not work when adding the wiki text for doing so. The Revolutionary War page works properly on the first five states but the Portal:Civil War does not work at all.

Carryover from Last Week
The Recent Changes page can be accessed by going to Special pages in the tool box. The default number is 50 changes but a higher number can be selected. By default all name spaces are included and you can select a specific name space.
 * Tracking changes to a page -- Mollie Forbes

The name of the page links to the page itself. The name of the user who made the changes is included along with a link to the user talk page. The link labeled "contribs" will take you to a list of that user's talk page.

m indicates a minor edit

You can click on My preferences and then the tab recent changes then check the "Enhanced recent changes" box to see the recent changes in a shorter list by showing each page only once.

New Items
We will defer the lenghty discussion of this until next week so everyone can come prepared to discuss the issue.
