When the next paperhanger comes along and strips off the wallpaper I hung today, he will find this.

It’s a note (in pencil, because ink will bleed through wallpaper) telling who hung the paper (me!), and on what day. Many of my friends leave it at that, but I like to also include info about the paper, and also what wall prep I did and what primer and paste I used.
To be honest, I usually forget to do this.  But it’s a cool concept, and would be helpful to the next installer .
