-====== Subscribing to Wiki Changes ======
-Subscribing to wiki changes allows you to receive a notification any time a particular page on the wiki changes.  There are two flavors of subscription:
-  * Subscribing to individual pages
-  * Subscribing to //all// pages
-**Important:** You must have a wiki account and be logged in to manage your page subscriptions.  If you don't have an account yet, read [[howto:create_a_wiki_account|how to create a wiki account]].
-Here's how it works:
-=== Subscribing to a particular page ===
-  - Browse to the page for which you would like to add a subscription
-  - Click the "Manage Subscriptions" button at the bottom of the page
-  - Select the **//first option//** under the "Subscribe" box.  This should be the address of the page you are on.  For example, subscribing to this page will show "howto:subscribe_to_changes".
-  - Choose your notification method, either once for every change, or a digest email sent less frequently.
-  - Click the subscribe button.
-=== Subscribing to all wiki pages ===
-  - Go to the [[start|start page]].
-  - Click the "Manage Subscriptions" button at the bottom of the page.
-  - Select the **//second option//** under the Subscribe box.  This should be a single asterisk(*) character.
-  - Choose your notification method, either once for every change, or a digest email sent less frequently.
-  - Click the subscribe button.
-After you click subscribe, you should see a message at the top of your screen indicating that you have been added to the subscription list for whatever page you subscribed to.
