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.
