Tip of the day...

Time-saving links: the "pipe trick"

Are you tired of having to type long links to targets, and then having to write out most of the link again to hide the namespace? Simply put a pipe ( "|" ) at the end of the link, like so: [[Wikipedia:Tip of the day|]], which turns Wikipedia:Tip of the day into Tip of the day. This trick also works with parentheses – [[colon (punctuation)|]] becomes colon, and comma – [[San Francisco, California|]] becomes San Francisco.

The Jimi Hendrix Memorial Concerts

Hey @Postmud! Thanks so much for contributing to the November drive. I reviewed your change (Special:Diff/1258614805) and wanted to let you know that unfortunately, Discogs is not considered a reliable source (WP:DISCOGS) -- ultimately what needed to happen with that page was a blank and redirect to the The Hamsters page, which I have gone ahead and done. (The only sources I could find for that album were resellers or sites that do use Discogs.) Hope that makes sense! Please let me know if you have any questions and hope you'll continue contributing to the drive. :) Smallangryplanet (talk) 13:29, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
