+When the wiki stores lists of pages, such as pages that are locked or pages
+that you want to be emailed if changed, it uses a GlobList.
+
+This is a list of page names, separated by white space. The "glob" bit is
+that as well as full page names, it can contain glob patterns. "`*`" stands
+in for any part of the page name, and "`?`" for any single letter of its
+name. So if you wanted to list all the pages about tea, and any
+[[SubPage]]s of the SandBox, but not including the SandBox itself:
+
+ *tea* SandBox/*
+
+You can also prefix an item in the list with "!" to skip matching any
+pages that match it. So if you want to specify all pages except for
+Discussion pages:
+
+ !*/Discussion
