Link edit made
See here, for details. (The stray "z", in the reason was supposed to be a comma, bloomin' touchscreen keyboard!)
Basically {{w|Page Title|link text}} supplies the necessary bits in what 'raw' might be [[wikipedia:Page Title|link text]]. Not much saving time, but just enough to be worthwhile. And far better than [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_(spacecraft) whatever else you might use]... ;)
(PS, Columbia or Eagle? I mean, neither are called "Apollo". I suppose technically Eagle is more than a spacecraft, as it can land (or ditch into the sea, ironically for Aquarius!), but an Apollo craft could be anything from early boilerplate ones onward, and anything from the full stack to any free-flying component, and thus Apollo 11 is any/all of it from the base of its first stage to the tip of its escape-tower. Not to be pedantic, just wondering out loud. :p ) 172.70.162.99 18:51, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- (I have no idea what the second paragraph is so straight to the ps! ;) Comlumbia obvously, the Eagle already has so much hype (plus it bugs me that they put an ACTUAL EAGLE on the mission patch, it would've looked so much cooler with a rocket or the Eagle) That being said, the entire Apollo program was pretty freaking awsome, like, they did stuff that half a decade earlier people couldnt have dreamed of doing (techniclly they did dream it, but yk what i mean)!! As for the rocket itself, yes its called the Saturn V, but my names Apollo11 soooooooooooo :p And no worries beung pedantic, i love the decussion ;) Apollo11 (talk) 19:01, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

cereal
no, cereal are nachos! cuberule.com (and a hotdog is a taco) 42.book.addict (talk) 02:23, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- I will exept that a hotdog is a taco, but nachos are a salad too! Apollo11 (talk) 16:22, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Three suggestions.
- Use a spell-checker. (Or a spill-chucker!) You really need to, and you know you do.
- Use the Preview button more.
- It's really better not to create User or User Talk pages for IPs.
I hope you find these useful to consider, but of course they're just my own observations. We can discuss any of this here, if you want. 172.70.163.121 21:38, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
How do I get a spell checker on a wiki? I use google docs to type up anything so I don't have any downloaded spell checkers, would those work? If so do you have a suggestion? Apollo11 (talk) 21:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Get something like LibreOffice, rather than relying on an online office-suite. (You can still cross-copy things, if you like the "store on the cloud" element. That'd have spellchecker. But I would have thought Google provides one - never used it, but would seem like an obvious feature.)
- But all sane browsers also have native and official plugins that include rather decent spell-checkers. Though if you're not using en-US, yourself, you might have to add that on top of your normally useful native brand of language. 141.101.99.171 00:41, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Awesome thank you! I will try LibreOffice. (hopfully it runs fine on a Mac, I've had SO many apps not run on it) Apollo11 (talk) 16:48, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Google Docs DOES have a spell check-please start using it's feature (it's all built in, unless you did something horrible to your Google Docs and now it's not functioning properly) 42.book.addict (talk) 03:16, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah I know it has a spell check feature, thats why I dont have an outside one Apollo11 (talk) 16:48, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
