i am confused. in both a topic i started yesterday and a topic i asked a question in today, i got a notice saying there were responses but even when i hit refresh button and reload my browser, the new answer(s) shows up. is this a glitch of some sort? - RubyChe 04:50, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Why would that be a glitch? – JayLR 05:20, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
if there is no reply, then why am i getting notification in my mailbox that there are replies? also the listing shows on the main hailing frequencies page that someone replied. there was an "anonymous contributor" in my question about fanon info for a canon character's page and then you after i asked a question on the thread about RPGs. but no replies from either are showing up after my last post in these threads. - RubyChe 05:25, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, that makes more sense than your initial post. It isn't a glitch. Those changes weren't replies but general edits. The listing in the forums shows the last editor of the page. As for the notification you'll receive one whenever a page on your watchlist is edited. – JayLR 06:03, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
okay i guess i understand, but i wonder why people would be going in and editing if they are not going to also answer the questions asked? doesn't seem very helpful, especially when one is new and needs these answers about what info is allowed or not allowed on a page and where to put it on an already existing page (which are the contents of my questions so far). - RubyChe 06:09, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
- That the point of a wiki. Anyone can edit an article to fix problems with it without necessarily adding new material. – JayLR 06:17, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
