If anyone wants to help contribute in the Wiki, here’s a great target:
The Gramps 6.0 User Manual has a LOT of 5.1 version (and a few 5.2) feature “Stub” markers that indicate sections that have been incomplete… many have been lanquishing for years.
Adding the missing content for the 6.0 release will reassure new users evaluating the new release. It also means that, after the next rollover for the manual, we would only have to improve the pages where features have changed or been added for 5.2 and 6.0.
Stubs can be found by searching the following pages for the phrase: “Please update or expand this section”.
While eradicating a stub for the Adding photos and other media objects section of the “Entering and editing data: brief” wiki page, I wanted to expand on use of the Add Images not included in database feature in the Media Manager from the menu.
Yes. Sam contacted me. The validation is a hand-done process. Give me a bit of time to convert it to a validated 6.0 checklist. (I don’t think there is any need to make a separate thread for history. The <del> tags are good enough to indicate that progress is being made in clearing sutbs.)
I have validated that the Stubs in the 5.2 manual were stripped out in the rollover process before freezing. It looks like the “Stub_stagnant” tags have been cleared from all the old version pages too. So the wiki is down to 397 pages with stubs.
Aha! Thank you @emyoulation.
Context is everything!
Perhaps you could cut and past those two sentences into the article on the wiki for future-me and others.

This tool is really a kind of report, in my opinion. It looks at all the
filtered people, and creates a table of their events. If a person has more
than one event of a certain type, (perhaps two birth events with different
data from different sources), the table will have multiple lines under the
name. You can then visually ‘compare’ the events to see the differences.
It is also easy to see missing event types.
The table can also be saved as a spreadsheet for reference while working on
your data.
I’ve left that text as a hidden note to be incorporated at a latter stage, my focus is really on updating the screenshots for Gramps 6.0 and eliminating the stubs if I have time.
Added a new section Using Undo History to the Navigation page with a rough outline gathered from various sources that could do with somebody else having a look please.
