User:Nøkkenbuer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I make a lot of minor edits and do general copy editing. I sometimes, albeit rarely, participate in talk pages. When I do, my posts tend to be prolix. If you see a lot of green bytes with my username attached to it, that is probably me either filling out some citations or posting a talk page message. Though I may be frustrating at times, please go easy on me and remember that I have the best intentions in mind. If any edit of mine appears to be mistaken or incorrect, let me know; I invite criticism, which informs and improves my editing.

As a note, my precisionism is descriptive, not prescriptive. I do not always behave like a precisionist, nor should one expect me to be arguing from a precisionist perspective.

If you mention me anywhere in a discussion, please be sure to notify me. This is especially appreciated if I am not in the discussion, if the discussion is about me, and you do not have good reason to believe I am already aware of it. Thank you.

Tip of the day...
Displaying one page within another = Transclusion

Including the contents of a template page on a different page (by surrounding the page name with double braces, i.e. "{{}}" and leaving out the "Template:" prefix) is called transclusion.

This allows the other page to be automatically updated whenever the template page is updated.

Besides templates, pages in the following namespaces can be transcluded:

  • Category:
  • Help:
  • Portal:
  • User:
  • Wikipedia:

The only difference between transcluding these and templates is that you must include the prefix (followed by a colon) with the page's name inside the double braces.

Images also can be transcluded, but this is done using double square brackets instead of braces.

Here are some examples of transclusion:

{{Pic of the day}} · {{Help:Contents}} · [[Image:Wikipedia-logo.png]]

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd2}}
