There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |
RationalWiki:Wiki fact/Tech 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.
