Koshy had a little ELPH which wasn't white as snow but everywhere that Koshy went the ELPH was sure to go. (actually an SD, but that detail ruins the rhyme...)

Sounds like a good addition to me. If you don't want to wade through figuring out which is Digic or not, just add a third section called "Other early cameras" and insert a note to that effect?

Creating the entry as a series of hyper linked labels is a really good idea too. The wiki editor will let you do something like this :

CE300
PowerShot 600
PowerShot 30
etc

O.k. I added them as a third section and as hyper linked labels.
Since I built a table of all the links I also added hyper linked labels to the existing entries.

Seems like someone needs to review what I did there.

Very nice. Thank you for doing that - every time somebody adds to the wiki it gets better for everyone.

You're welcome. With the work I had already done it seemed plausible and easy to do.

When I visit the wiki page I still get the old version. I probably reset browser cookies.
What needs to happen for the edit to become publicly visible?

I can see your changes just fine. Some sort of page caching thing with your browser maybe?

I've made a couple of wiki edits myself over the last couple of years and never had that problem

Although I did notice something like it yesterday as I updated the main page "news" info and the ported camera links. Seemed to take a while to refresh. Strange.

I have set the browser up to wipe all caches and cookies on closing and just restarted it again. No change. But I'll just sit and wait. If I still see the old version in a day or two I'll let you know.

Well, whatever it was I was seeing the old page for some time after the edit but revisiting the link again I no longer do. I now see the version as I saved it.
