Users by language

Welcome to my userpage! Most of the time I'm patrolling recent changes and reverting vandalism. I also like stopping by the Help Desk or the Teahouse to answer the occasional question (and learn from others' answers). Every now and then, when I have some free time, I get the writing bug – I've written / copyedited a few short articles, and translated them to Spanish (and viceversa).

I collaborate mostly here and in the Spanish Wikipedia, but also help combat cross-wiki vandalism and spam. I try to always assume good faith, and ask for the same in return. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding my on-wiki actions – my talkpage is only a click away


Tip of the day...
Redirects

A redirect is a page that has the sole purpose to automatically redirect readers to a differently named page; to take the reader where they really wanted to go. Redirects allow a topic to have more than one title. Redirects are used for synonyms, abbreviations (initialisms), acronyms, accented terms (diacritics), misspellings, typos, nicknames (pseudonyms), scientific names, etc.

To create a redirect for the term "Oof":

  1. Type Oof in the search box, press ↵ Enter
  2. Click on the redlink for Oof that it presents
  3. In the edit window that appears, type #REDIRECT [[Foo]] on the first line to make it lead to the article Foo
  4. Redirects should be organized in to categories too. Each redirect can have up to seven redirect categories. Categories go on the third line of the redirect. (Note: Plant has a subcategory within the category of scientific name; enter plant after a pipe).

Here are two examples of a redirect category using a category template:

  • {{R from birth name}}
  • {{R from scientific name|plant}}

Preview your new redirect before saving it. Make sure:

  1. There is a big right-facing arrow to the left of the bolded name of your target page name.
  2. That your target page is bolded in blue (if it is red, go back and double check your target name in the edit window).
  3. That your redirect category has rendered properly and that the boilerplate it presents makes sense.
