I have found Wikipedia to be a very useful tool and as a result was lead to help make it even better. I had been actively involved with SpamCop serving as one of the two admins of the SpamCop Wiki[1] and also as one of the five moderators of the SpamCop Fourms[2]

My current schedule no longer permits be to be active in Wikipedia, but I still believe in the value of Wikipedia and make use of it as a initial reference source.

Linking to a section of an article

Sometimes it is preferable to refer to a section of a page when linking, rather than to the whole page. You can create a link to any subheading on any page in Wikipedia by including a # followed by the subheading at the end of a link.

For example: Wikipedia:Community portal#Help out.

In all section links, be sure to use a piped link for readability.

Using a piped link, the previous example looks like this: Help out.

If a section title changes, rather than going red/inactive, the link will lead to the top of the linked page.

Wikipedia-specific Google searchbox edit

Note: the following does not seem to work at this time:

The default Wikipedia search engine can be slow and unreliable. Luckily, alternatives are available, such as a customized Google searchbox, already preset to search Wikipedia: http://www.google.com/custom?sa=Google+Search&domains=wikipedia.org&sitesearch=wikipedia.org

http://www.google.com/custom?sa=Google+Search&domains=wikidata.org&sitesearch=wikidata.org
