Howdy, I am J04n (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) (real name John). I have lately been spending my Wikitime simply tidying things up. Feel free to drop me a line about anything especially if I made a mistake, if you disagree with any of my edits, or if you simply disagree with my Wikiphilosophy. As to what my Wikiphilosophy is...I'm not sure, but if you perceive it as something you are probably partly correct. Lastly, but most importantly, if there is anything that I can help you with I would be more than happy to, just drop me a line.

Time-saving links II

Sometimes you may be editing an article and want to link a plural to its singular form. For example, to link "Fred Foo was famous for his study of puddles" to puddle, you could link it like so: [[puddle|puddles]]. However, you can save time instead by writing [[puddle]]s.

This also works with adjectives (for example, [[Japan]]ese), regular verbs in present or past tense (for example, [[dance]]s or [[dance]]d) and any other suffixes or prefixes.

However, this method does not work with spelling changes, for example: [[try]]ied does not work; you have to enter [[try|tried]]. It also does not work with possessives, so you may want to use [[Fred Foo|Fred Foo's]] to get Fred Foo's. Using [[Fred Foo]]'s will look like Fred Foo's, i.e. the possessive suffix unlinked, in plain text, and black instead of blue.

Note: if a redirect exists from

puddles to puddle
you don't actually need to do any piping, it's fine to link [[puddles]] too.
