| − | :Not that I have much faith in your usernae lasting long (you're 'that guy', aren't you? ...in which case you know anyway), but for the sake of anyone else who needs to know:
| |
| − | :*If you mean "add an actual 'citation needed' tag", then it's {{template|Actual citation needed}} that you'll use.
| |
| − | :*If you mean "add an actual citation link to somewhere", then:
| |
| − | :** Link to URLs with [].
| |
| − | :*** A link such as [<url>] will give you a superscript-number link, which isn't pretty, IMO.
| |
| − | :*** A link such as [<url> <text>] (that's a space between the two) will link <text> to the URL, just work it into the sentence you're writing, fairly easy
| |
| − | :** Link to internal (or cross-wiki) pages with [[]].
| |
| − | :*** [[<page title>]] will make a literal link to <page title>.
| |
| − | :*** [[<page title>|<text>]] (with a pipe) is how you make the <text> your link.
| |
| − | :** You can use the last to link specifically to wikipedia's cross-site format, but for that it's best to use {{template|w}}
| |
| − | :*** <nowiki>{{w|<page title>}}</nowiki> (w-pipe...) uses the page title
| |
| − | :**** It will use the link as if the first character is uppercase, so you don't need to capitalise that. Other case-sensitivity is preserved.
| |
| − | :**** <nowiki>{{w|<singular page title>}}s</nowiki> will link the obvious pluralisation of the page title, just to save you effort
| |
| − | :*** <nowiki>{{w|<page title>|<text>}}</nowiki> (w-pipe and pipe) lets you use entirely alternate text.
| |
| − | :** There's also templates that shortcut (or make easier on the eye, or add appropriate warnings) for some other commonly referenced external sites, from xkcd's own what-if to TVTropes.
| |
| − | :...hope that helps everyone that doesn't already know these few simple bits as relate to wikis in general or this wiki in particular. [[Special:Contributions/172.71.242.218|172.71.242.218]] 22:24, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

| − | == Confirmation Email Bug ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Hi. I've been trying to get my email confirmed so that I can get pinged when pages are edited, but I just can't find it, even after trying multiple times. I use Gmail, and yes, I have checked my spam folder. Has anyone else had this issue? EDIT: I see that others have had this issue, but the admins haven't done any action to solve it, except for one sarcastic comment by Davidy22 back in 2014.
