Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation pages with links/Guide

Addition to the guide?[edit]

I have found the following technique very useful.

If your system supports a secondary clipboard buffer, keeping the most common option from the disambiguation page there can also save a lot of time. For instance if you use Firefox under the X Window System, the browser has one buffer and text copied with the mouse another.

Any objections about adding it between what is currently point 8 and 9? Bergsten 21:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Improvements to the guide are always welcome! :-) BD2412 T 21:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I would be more inclined to add this tip seperately, maybe in a new subsection of "Editor's techniques". The Guide To Efficient Disambiguation take too long to read, and good tips like this one should be more accessible.--Commander Keane 21:52, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I did it that way, but I felt we had to expand it a bit when it's outside the context of the list. Bergsten 23:37, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Say, my computer has a function whereby it remembers why I typed in the edit summary box - for example, if I type "dis" is suggests "disambiguation link repair ([[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|You can help!]])". I'd advise others to set their systems to do the same, but I don't know what (if anything) I did to make mine do so. BD2412 T 00:46, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In Firefox I think it's under either Edit->Preferences->Privacy->Saved Form Information or Tools->Options->Privacy->Saved Form Information depending on which version you are using. Bergsten 11:45, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm stuck with Internet Explorer - I think the first time I used it, it asked if I wanted to autocomplete entries and I clicked yes. BD2412 T 20:01, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
