Be assured that all changes saved in a wiki can be recovered from the 'View
history' tab for a page.

While one is reconstructing an existing page, it is often best to copy it
to a separate page as content details are worked out.  Open discussion (on
the associated 'Discussion' page) with other interested authors will
generally lead to improvements.

Thank you for  your contributions!
