If you are [[Special:userlogin|logged in]] to a [[Wikitravel:How to create a user account|user account]] there will be a '''This is a minor edit''' checkbox for marking your changes as "minor". The idea with this is that people reviewing page history or recent changes can filter out unimportant changes. It's up to you to determine what makes your changes "minor" -- usually, spelling corrections, grammar, or formatting changes are "minor", and changes to the real information on a page are not.

The '''Watch this article''' checkbox puts this article on your [[Wikitravel:Watchlist help|~~watchlist~~]]. Any changes to the article, or to the article's talk page, by you or anyone else will show up in your ~~watchlist~~, so you can keep an eye on the article.

If an editor changes or removes content from an article the old versions of the article are still available from the article's history. To view article history, click on the "history" tab for any article, then click on the date for the revision that you are interested in. To revert the article to the specified revision, simply click on the "edit" tab while viewing the old version and then re-save the version. Alternately, if you just want to revert a single edit click on the "undo" link from an article's history next to the edit that is being reverted.

 Montreal is home to one of the three public subway/metro systems in Canada, the others found in Vancouver and Toronto. The public transit system, run by '''Société de transport de Montréal''' (STM) [http://www.stm.info/English/a-somm.htm], is safe, efficient, and is overall pleasant to use. Tickets have been replaced by cards with magnetic stripe containing one trip, called an ''à la carte'' ticket. These are valid for one trip (including unlimited transfers in the same way for 90 min) on the metro and buses, costing  $3.00 each (exact fare in coins is required on the buses but not on the metro) but are also available for less when you purchase six for $14.25 either from the metro agent or the automatic fare vending machine located in metro stations.
-Note that Montreal metro stations and train cars lack air conditioning, the Metro can sometimes get uncomfortably hot, in every season. It does however still exist as the best transport option in the city. Announcements are in French only as is the vast majority of signage.  In addition, Montreal transit workers are not obliged to speak in any language other than French (with the exception of customer service representatives).  While most transit workers are happy to speak to you in English and are generally friendly to visitors, it is possible that a question in English might be met with sign language or dead silence. It never hurts to begin a conversation with "Bonjour, Est-ce que vous parlez anglais?"  The customer service counter at Berri-Uqam (on the Orange, Yellow, and Green lines) have English speaking staff.  In addition, the airport staff are fully bilingual.

 Note that metro tickets are not valid in [[Laval]] and [[Longueuil]], and you will need to pay the same $3.00 at the agents there.
