Since people have to register in order to edit pages, the introduction text of <blockquote>"The guides here can be edited by anyone, so feel free to jump in and improve something!"</blockquote> seems a bit misleading. Perhaps the words "jump in and improve something" can be linked to the register page? --[[User:Blendmaster|blendmaster]] 13:19, 3 July 2007 (CDT) | Since people have to register in order to edit pages, the introduction text of <blockquote>"The guides here can be edited by anyone, so feel free to jump in and improve something!"</blockquote> seems a bit misleading.

Ok, I've modified the DPL to show 10 ''random'' pages from the top 50 pages in Completion Stage 2 or above (aka not 1 or 0). This will bring them to popular guides that some people may find that they could improve upon. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig}} 10:27, 11 August 2007 (CDT) | Ok, I've modified the DPL to show 10 ''random'' pages from the top 50 pages in Completion Stage 2 or above (aka not 1 or 0).

::Yes, there is, but there is no way to only make the guide itself show then. Besides, if you want all the edits, just use [[Special:Recentchanges]].
