Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hi there! Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stick around. If you want, you could drop us a note at Wikipedia's New User log to introduce yourself.

Before you start doing a lot of editing, it might be a good idea to take a look at the Wikipedia tutorial. It'll give you a lot of basic info that can help you to get oriented on Wikipedia.

You should sign your name on talk pages by using three tildes (" ~~~ ") to give your username, or four (" ~~~~ ") to give your username and a timestamp.

If you have any other questions about Wikipedia, you can check out the Wikipedia Help, or you could add a question to the Wikipedia Help Desk. You can also ask me questions on my talk page by clicking here. Happy editing! -- gtdp (talk)(contribs) 20:51, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect pages

Just so you know, redirect pages go in the form of #REDIRECT [[article name]] . Please remember to put two square brackets around the name of the article you are re-directing to. Thanks for your time. -- gtdp (talk)(contribs) 20:51, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was typing too fast for my brain and forgot them. I tried to fix it right after.Bdve 20:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Internal page links

I appreciate your attempt to fix the broken Buffy link in Twin Peaks, but I'm afraid it didn't work. Your change resulted in:

[[List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes##Season 4 .281999.E2.80.932000.29|4th-season]]

which, besides being unnecessarily complex, added a "#", ensuring failure. (I added the actual link to the no-wikied text of your edit above to allow you to see the result without having to check the "Twin Peaks" history.)

Might I make two suggestions for furture internal link fixes?

  1. Don't use the dot notation unless it's essential. It rarely is. In this case, "[[List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes#Season 4 (1999–2000)|4th-season]]" works perfectly fine, even with the parentheses and the en-dash. In fact, it's not a bad rule of thumb, when fixing such links, to assume the editor who created such a complex link didn't need to, and to first try just replacing it with the actual text from the heading of the target section.
  2. Always, always, always test link changes before saving. This is an unbelievably common error, even for experienced wiki editors. (I should know. [sheepish grin])

I hope you find this information useful. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out, I could swear when I previewed it it worked.Bdve 19:47, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
