Translators, Please add your notes in this section stating which pages you have updated and when.

Discussion

Is there much point in having some of these sections? I understand things like “Intended audience”, but things like “Conventions used in this book” seem redundant for what are now wiki articles.

It is intended to be a book, but it's part of the wiki. If you get what I mean? :-)Brian Lawrence 2012/09/03 06:10

—— Hey mfillpot, I don't know if you found out already, but the slackbook: namespace is already restricted-access. Only staff editors are able to modify those pages.

Yes, I was aware that the namespace has been restricted, the note was added to explain why it has been restricted, that it will be updated and to tell potential contributors how to submit contributions to he official slackbook.
