This is a page for me to keep links and notes that I find useful, and want to keep handy, but won't use often enough to justify placing quicklinks on my user page.

The first edit to the first user page said "Nifty site you have here! It may be hard to get momentum going, but I like the general idea." Six years later, I think it is safe to say that we have momentum. SWAdair | Talk 10:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


Tip of the moment...
How to link to a category without categorizing the page

Category links don't work like other links. Instead, they go invisible and put the page in the category specified. For example, if you write a message that says I think [[Category:Living people]] would be appropriate", it will appear as "I think would be appropriate" and the talk page you wrote the message on will be added to the Living people category. The link disappeared!

Sometimes it is useful to provide links to categories, such for listing categories on portals, or when you are discussing categories.

To make category links work like normal links, add a colon after the opening brackets. Then "I think [[:Category:Living people]] would be appropriate", appears as "I think Category:Living people would be appropriate".

You can also use {{cl}}, but this is less common.

To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}
