From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have found Wikipedia to be a very useful tool and as a result was lead to help make it even better. I had been actively involved with SpamCop serving as one of the two admins of the SpamCop Wiki[1] and also as one of the five moderators of the SpamCop Fourms[2]

My current schedule no longer permits be to be active in Wikipedia, but I still believe in the value of Wikipedia and make use of it as a initial reference source.

How to transclude a page into the page you are editing

Including the contents of one page ("the template") into a host page is called transclusion. This allows the host page to automatically be updated whenever the template page is updated. It is accomplished on Wikipedia by surrounding the name of the page from which the contents are being transcluded with two pairs of curly brackets and leaving out the "Template:" prefix. In addition, pages in the following namespaces can also be transcluded: Category:, Help:, Portal:, User:, and Wikipedia:. The only difference is that you must include the prefix (followed by a colon) with the page's name inside the double curly brackets. Images can also be transcluded, but this is done using double square brackets instead of curly ones. Here are some examples of templates that will transclude if you paste them, save them, and then refresh or purge the page:

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

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

The default Wikipedia search engine can be slow and unreliable. Luckily, alternatives are available, such as a customized Google searchbox, already preset to search Wikipedia: http://www.google.com/custom?sa=Google+Search&domains=wikipedia.org&sitesearch=wikipedia.org

http://www.google.com/custom?sa=Google+Search&domains=wikidata.org&sitesearch=wikidata.org
