From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I like to play backgammon. My motto is "Reach to the sky, and to the stars, and achieve what you want to achieve." I like to learn & work, but I do what I want to do when I'm not busy. Of course, I like Wikipedia because of what I can learn. I was born on March 15 & my first edit day was September 29, 2006 (you can check). I am a subscriber of the Wikipedia Signpost. Laleena's Files is my former experiment page, it is now the Sandbox. My characters for myself are δΔΞΨЖ. I also experiment at my Sandbox. I am a member of the Short Stories Wikiproject. I am the creator of the Denmark Wikiproject. I took a Wikibreak August 1-August 6.

How to use Wikipedia Offline: XOWA

There is a way to have Wikipedia loaded on your computer so that you can view it when you don't have access to the Internet. It's called XOWA, and it's compatible with Microsoft Windows, OSX, Linux and Android.

XOWA allows users to download and import their own copy of Wikipedia using official database dumps, or by special hosted database files specifically created for use within XOWA. The application is designed to accurately display Wikipedia content through its own built-in browser, or by an internal hosted web server which allows users to access content using a browser of their own choice.

XOWA can load and display multiple wikis. It is not limited to just Wikipedia.

For instructions on how to download and install it, see the official XOWA webpage.

Time-saving links II

Sometimes you may be editing an article and want to link a plural to its singular form. For example, to link "Fred Foo was famous for his study of puddles" to puddle, you could link it like so: [[puddle|puddles]]. However, you can save time instead by writing [[puddle]]s.

This also works with adjectives (for example, [[Japan]]ese), regular verbs in present or past tense (for example, [[dance]]s or [[dance]]d) and any other suffixes or prefixes.

However, this method does not work with spelling changes, for example: [[try]]ied does not work; you have to enter [[try|tried]]. It also does not work with possessives, so you may want to use [[Fred Foo|Fred Foo's]] to get Fred Foo's. Using [[Fred Foo]]'s will look like Fred Foo's, i.e. the possessive suffix unlinked, in plain text, and black instead of blue.

Note: if a redirect exists from puddles to puddle you don't actually need to do any piping, it's fine to link [[puddles]] too.
