Click on Special pages on left frame, to get many useful reports.

  1. To see all files, you can do simple wiki report -   File list  -   and sort on reverse chronology (you can give .ggb as media name to get only geogebra files added) -   File list
  2. To see recent changes also gives you picture of pages added/modified. -   Recent changes
  3. To see new pages added,   New pages
  4. To see all maths pages click on  Maths category (from category list report)   - there are few useful reports -  Categories  to drill down, use  this  Category tree
  5. if you want to see a combination of categories (maths and class 9) you can use multi  category search - Multi-category search
  6. If you want to see what all one user (say Girija) has added, you can use report User contributions and input Girija in user name

MediaWiki provides metadata to help track changes, we can use that to track.  I will show these reports in the discussions today, and we will use it to correct, revise KOER.
