My friend, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED.  Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here! 

In order to select a specific collection, go to https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner.

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link).  It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.

When I tried to view the German Baden records, a pop up came up saying these were only viewable at a Family History Center. Hadn't run into that before

The database in your list, "Arizona, World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1940-1945," has been deleted.
