Contents
Useful tip
A tip you might find useful; many find it useful to check Recent changes (available in the top left-hand corner) when they come by, to coordinate with other people. (In case you didn't see the below, which I will explicitly tag here for you.) Jnc (talk) 14:31, 20 May 2023 (CEST)
Tandy categories
You might want to check out Category talk:Tandy TRS-80, I'd love to get your take. Jnc (talk) 14:31, 20 May 2023 (CEST)
Oh, BTW: when you re-name a category, you have to manually edit all the pages in the category so they are in the re-named category. Jnc (talk) 19:39, 20 May 2023 (CEST)
Learning curve
No problem with start-up issues; everyone goes through a learning period.
To add the timestamp to the signature, use the special form ~~~~ which adds both. Jnc (talk) 21:51, 20 May 2023 (CEST)
Edit summary boxes
Hi, I've noticed that you usually leave the 'Summary' box blank when you do edits. Please always put something in the 'Summary' box, so that when looking at the history later, people will be able to get a rough sense of what was done, without needing to click on the 'prev' link of that revision. Thanks! Jnc (talk) 03:22, 22 May 2023 (CEST)
- I have been making sure to follow through with this, also, off-topic, how do I delete pages or categories since I overhauled so much.
- Only admins can delete pages; I have been doing the cleanup for you (no problem). When you do a move, there should be a 'Leave a redirect behind' box; if you don't have any use for a redirect at the old name, un-check that, and there won't be anything to clean up.

Two more editing notes
For a reason that I used to know, but have forgotten, Wikipedia (and thus here) uses '==' as the top level section marker. (I'll have to make a note of that in the syntax Help: page.)
Also, Wikipedia style is generally to only link the first instance of a term on term on a page; something else I'll have to note on the syntax Help: page. (See what I did there? :-) Jnc (talk) 14:20, 22 May 2023 (CEST)
