User:Linkthewindow/Random Tip

Tip of the Day

Use

{{Sign}}

to tell newbies how to sign, and

{{Crit9warning}}

to tell them to create pages in the right spot. Note that both those are

{{subst:}}

templates.

Want to hide external links? Use this code:

<span class="stealthexternallink">[http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0! Click]</span>

Which comes out:Click!

Useful if you hate that darn external link formatting.

Put

{{subst:

in front of a template call to deposit the contents of a template's code on to the page. For example,

{{subst:User:Linkthewindow/Sig}}

puts Linkthewindow ^Talk onto the page. It's especially useful with some magic words. Use

{{PAGENAME}}

to simply place the name of the page on the page. It ignores any prefixes (such as User:, Talk: or User talk:.) It's probably better to use

{{subst:PAGENAME}}

which won't change if the page (or data) is moved.
