<p>rm cat &quot;Wikipedia editing aids&quot;, cat:tip of the day is a subcat of Cat:Editing aids</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{center|{{big|&#039;&#039;&#039;Create links faster using tricks&#039;&#039;&#039;}}}}<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;1. Magic pipe trick&#039;&#039;&#039;: [[Synonym]]ous article titles may be clarified with terms in parentheses, like this: &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Self (psychology)]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;. But when you want to include such a link in the body of an article, this would look rather awkward. So all you have to do is use the &quot;[[Help:Pipe trick|magic pipe trick]]&quot;, like this: &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Self (psychology)|]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;. Notice the [[Vertical bar|pipe]] (&quot;|&quot;) character stuck in there at the end of the link? That makes the link look like this: [[Self (psychology)|Self]], without having to type the name of the link after the pipe! This trick also works with namespaces, so that &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Wikipedia:Tip of the day|]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; (again notice the pipe character) displays like this: [[Wikipedia:Tip of the day|Tip of the day]].<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;2. Plural trick&#039;&#039;&#039;: While editing, you will often need to make a link to a [[plural]]. For example, suppose you wanted to link &quot;Fred Foo was famous for his study of puddles&quot; to [[puddle]]; you could link it like so: &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[puddle|puddles]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. However, you can save time by instead writing &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[puddle]]s&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. This also works for [[adjective]]s (&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[Japan]]ese&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;), [[verb]]s (&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[dance]]d&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;), and any other [[suffix]]es or [[prefix]]es, like &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[bring]]ing&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. It does not, however, work for some irregular verbs. For example, &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[try]]ied&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; does not work; you have to use &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[try|tried]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. Nor does it work with apostrophes needed outside the wikilink like: &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[J. R. R. Tolkien]]&#039;s&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;.<br /> <br /> {{totd nav|March 19}}<br /> {{stack|float=right<br /> |1=Read more:<br /> |2=&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Help:Pipe trick]]&#039;&#039;&#039;{{spaces|2}}<br /> }}{{clear}}&lt;noinclude&gt;<br /> [[Category:Wikipedia Tip of the day|Yearless-03-19]]<br /> &lt;/noinclude&gt;</div>
