Description
In my new civicrm installation I created one of my first events. It was in the past. I created it and it seemed to disappear. I felt quite frustrated and helpless. I added more events and even tried as a different user. I got into IRC and wasted valuable developer time.
Text at the bottom of www.example.org/civicrm/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/manage&reset=1 reminding (especially new) users of the Toggle at the top would be tremendously helpful. Right now the default, while reasonable, is "Show Current and Upcoming Events" but the "Search All or by Date Range" is easily missed.
I recommend text of "Don't see your event listed? Try to Search All above." Making "All" bold might also help because in my haste I only read the Date Range part.
