User:EdJogg/OffWatchList/Steam

EdJogg's watchlist has a tendency to grow, partly fuelled by having 'Add to Watchlist' always set.

This page lists articles (related to a topic) that may be of interest to EdJogg, but which are not present (usually) on his watchlist. The intention is that the page is examined weekly, using Related Changes in the left side-bar, where the week's edits may be reviewed en masse. The list is mainly intended for articles which experience high edit volumes, and/or which suffer frequent vandalism (and are patrolled by other editors). Also included are articles where only a small part of the article may be of relevance ('automobile' related to steam cars, for example), or those whose significance is not obvious (eg certain placenames; pages where a talk page question has been raised) -- for these a suitable comment must be added).

• Comments should be added to explain reason for inclusion in the list -- avoid wikilinking!
• The date of the most recent check is recorded at EdJogg's ToDo list.
• Don't forget to un-check "Watch this page" when submitting changes to these pages!
• ^[LOW] denotes page returned to normal watchlist due to low on-going edit count

• Add {{User:EdJogg/OffWatchList/Preamble}} to include this header text on a sub-page

This page is specifically for links related to steam engines and steam technology, including 'pre-history' and steam vehicles.
