In this post on in the pocket watch forums on Watch grades

Second post - by Tom - Watch grade numbers (http://mb.nawcc.org/showwiki.php?title=Watch+grade+numbers) apparantly is not posted yet.

Yet 5th post in this thread by Kent - Watch Grades (http://mb.nawcc.org/showwiki.php?title=Watch+Grades) has a wiki article.

Is there a way we were supposed to know that Watch Grades has a wike article, like a directory of the Wiki topics ?

Sort of. In the Encyclopedia Tools section are listed Wiki Categories. These provide a tree structure of categories for articles as detailed in the top article Encyclopedia Categories. There is no "watch grades" category at present.

The community logic of the wiki is that the unwritten links represent a request for an expert (or someone) to write an article on the topic. I was being lazy and did not look up the articles that Kent had already written on the subject, or I might have chosen one of those to link to.

It may be worthwhile to have one top level article along the lines of what I posted in that thread to introduce a watch grades category. I did not think I had time to do the subject justice right now.
---- follow up -------

I see that someone has written an article on watch grades since my reference above is a blue link.

Richard and Tom - Thank you for the responses.

I can see the subjects now in the encylopedia section of the wiki links.
