New Features
So much to say! I'll add more as I see them. 18:53, 13 May 2007 (EDT)
 * Special:EditCount – available to everyone and counts all edits, giving a breakdown by namespace.
 * Special:Patrol – Only to sysops & patrollers, goes through an edit diff one by one and gives you the options to accept, revert, or skip it.
 * Special:Chat – The biggie. The chat is now accessed through the wiki. It's on the sidebar if you haven't noticed yet.
 * MediaWiki Version: 1.8.2 &rarr; 1.10.0. New features:
 * On recent changes, +/- # of bytes that were added or removed to the size of the page is now seen. Total size of article in each revision seen in history page.
 * When protecting a page (sysops only), option to make the protection expire at a certain point, or use "cascading protection": all pages linked to the protected page will also be protected.
 * When a new article is created, and an edit summary is not specified, the default is the first 100 or so characters of the article.

Cool. Not that I can use Special:Patrol....grumble....grumble....


 * Teh new features are FTW! Great Gonzo

Yup. Except the chat is stupid now. 22:07, 13 May 2007 (EDT)


 * How is it stupid, its more under control.

A chat under control is stupid. Chats were made to be free.


 * Then make a seprate room... Great Gonzo

So, Special:Patrol just takes the most recent page edited and let you see the difference? Is there a way to choose which pages you wish to see? -- Chris 01:48, 14 May 2007 (EDT)
 * So far I don't think you can control what pages are seen, and I got pages starting from May 9th. 18:34, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

Short Articles
Um can't we merged short articles to longer articles such as Apple For example?Cause with short articles like this it doesn't look good.
