| Abstract:
New features are coming to the wiki sites all the time... but there are also some features that are not new, but very useful and perhaps forgotten. This lightning talk will show some small features that may help you improve your wikis and use your time more efficiently, and you possibly didn't even know that they are there. There are a lot of them, and I'll present each of them very briefly until I run out of time :) |

| Special requirements: Just basic familiarity with editing wikis. | |||
| How will this session be beneficial for the communities in the region of Central Asia?
Wikipedias in languages of Central Asia are in an interesting position somewhere in the middle: they are not underdeveloped like many tiny wikis, and they do have many articles and active editors, but they could also have improvements: some more categories, links, cleaner wikitext, more uniform page layout, etc. This presentation will show some of them. The presenter is equally comfortable in Russian and English and will accommodate the language to the participants. | |||
