Random technical wiki fact #1
Often the reason a page looks the same after you edit, or even refresh it, is that the page is cached. To get the page to reload properly, add ?action=purge to the address bar to purge that cache. You can also use the purgetab gadget. If a page needs to be purged regularly, consider using the purge template.

You can adjust the length of the bars in the multiple vote above by tweaking your own personal monobook.css file. Simply copy and paste the following code into it:
.votecolumnback {
width:100px !important;
}
The bars will now be 100px long. You can adjust this to suit your browser settings.

Random technical wiki fact #4
Most RationalWikians use the Recent changes list to see what is going on around the wiki. However if one article is receiving lots of edits in quick succession it can fill the list making it difficult to see what else is going on. By clicking on My preferences -> Recent changes and checking Enhanced recent changes, the recent changes will group edits to the same article together in a folding menu. As this will visually make the list shorter, you may also wish to increase the default number of edits the RC menu displays.

Random technical wiki fact #5
The pipe trick can save you from some fidgety editing, especially when trying to link across namespaces.
For example: by typing in [[Forum:Loya Jirga|]] the software will automatically place [[Forum:Loya Jirga|Loya Jirga]] for you when saving, resulting in Loya Jirga.
Another useful trick is disambiguations such as [[mass (physics)|]], which is automatically replaced with [[mass (physics)|mass]], resulting in mass.
You can even use this to link to other wikis, e.g, [[wp:Help:Pipe trick|]] produces Help:Pipe trick.
