I've become a frequent editor here, mostly adding details to cities and schools from my home town area, the greater Miami Valley of Ohio, and my adopted home town, Phoenix, Arizona.

A technical writer by trade, and just a bit on the compulsive side, I can't help myself when I see pages that need editing. Mostly, I'm adding missing links and making sure that cross references link both directions around facts. I'm learning the guidelines as I go.

I love local history, and really enjoy finding out who did what where.

Default sort magic word

edit

Way cool way to make sure that categories get sorted right, and easier than typing the sort characteristics after each category.

The default sort key of a page for categories can be changed using the new {{DEFAULTSORT}} magic word. For instance, on George Washington, {{DEFAULTSORT:Washington, George}} would cause a subsequent [[Category:United States presidents]] to be equivalent to [[Category:United States presidents|Washington, George]], not [[Category:United States presidents|George Washington]]. This is especially useful when the article belongs in many categories.

{{DEFAULTSORT:Washington, George}}
<!--- Use the DEFAULTSORT magic word to sort this article in all categories --->
