Wow, this is fantastic, much better than what I would have come up with! --TonyV 10:10, 26 August 2007 (EDT)
- I have to credit StarGeek for doing most of the legwork, much of what I did was reshaping what he had done over on Help:References. :) -- Sekoia 11:28, 26 August 2007 (EDT)
Contents
Category
Would this be the appropriate place to put a Category section that briefly describes how to use categories?
For example, what is the difference between these two? (pulled from {{petcommands}})
- [[Category:Slash Command Templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
- [[Category:Standardized Text Templates]]
I suspect when used on a template it actually makes the template show up in the category list... but I don't know. Help! refrains from using {{helpme}} 
--Konoko 17:28, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- [[Category:Slash Command Templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
- Ignores any prefix (Template:, Category:, ParagonWiki:, etc), using only the page name.
- Template:petcommands shows up in Category:Slash Command Templates under "P" (petcommands is the page name.)
- [[Category:Standardized Text Templates]]
- Uses the whole article name, including prefixes.
- Template:slashcommand shows up in Category:Slash Command Templates under "T" (Template is the first letter of the article).

User Pages
I'm assuming that it's verboten to fix up grammar and spelling on User pages. If this is the case, you might want to mention it. If not, you might want to mention that too. →Torin23 14:54, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Generally we don't make a practice of modifying anyone's User Page. On rare occasion we might help fix something like a broken link or an error that was introduced by a change made elsewhere (i.e. in a template that was being used on that User Page). In any case where content that isn't appropriate anywhere on Paragon Wiki is placed on a User Page, it's best to contact an admin and let us handle the situation. But for something like grammar or spelling errors, we leave User Pages alone. --Eabrace 18:06, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Changing the target of a redirected link.
Would it not be preferred, in the examples given, to choose example 3 in preference to examples 1 or 2 (presuming you're already going through the trouble of editing the link). Mrudat 06:41, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
reference links broken
The links all fail in the references section, probably due to last year's wiki move? Searching... no luck yet. Taosin 07:21, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
