Versions?
If someone messes up a page, many backups are created, every time you edit a page, a back up is created, so lets say you edit a page 5 times, there would be 5 backups of the page just from your edits. All you have to do is click a backup to restore the page, but only do this if someone has tampered or lowered the quality of the page, if your not sure if someone's edit was ok, post in the support forum.
Insert Tabs?
When you click the Insert Tabs Button, you may get something on the editor similar to this
{tab =Overview } {tab =Gallery } {tab =Map } { /tabs }
You can add or remove tabs, which to add one its simple { tab=name } (change name to what you want it)
This makes pages look nicer and easier to browse through. Although when posting do not have space in the names.
Here's what it looks like:
