Why is the date in the “Page last updated” section different from the date in the story “Last updated” section on the same page?

0

The gray “Page last updated” bar at the top of each page has the date that particular page was last updated. Updates include changes to HTML or text specific to that page (ex: if I change the copyright year, that’s a global change, so the date wouldn’t change, but if I fix a typo, then the date would change). The “Last updated” date on the main story pages refers to the last time I updated the whole story. Those kinds of updates include new chapters or majorly revised chapters/scenes. I wouldn’t consider fixing a typo, or even a hundred typos, an “update” (I certainly wouldn’t re-read a story just because of a fixed typo, but I would for a new scene).
