"But I have three precious things which I prize and hold fast. The first is gentleness; the second is economy; and the third is shrinking from taking precedence of others. With that gentleness I can be bold; with that economy I can be liberal; shrinking from taking precedence of others, I can become a vessel of the highest honour." – The Tao-te Ching by Lao-tzu. Chapter 67.
Translated by James Legge.^[1]

Tip of the moment...

Linking to non-Wikimedia wikis

You know normal links‍—‌they look [[like this]]. But did you know that you can use normal links to pages on any other wiki? This is called InterWiki linking, and applies to all wikis, not just Wikipedia's sister projects. You can link to a page on MeatballWiki by typing [[MeatBall:PageName]], for example. See Interwiki map.

However, links to Wikipedias in other languages are done a little differently. You can link to these by typing, for example, [[:de:Hauptseite]] (replace "de" with language prefix). The colon at the beginning prevents the link from becoming an interlanguage link, which shows up in the left sidebar.

To hide the prefix from the link, use the pipe trick.

Bonus tip: the same basic syntax works in the search box. ( Try typing in Meatball: )

I'm the "only" Technopat. If you are here because my username resembles that of any of the other Techno... names used here at Wikipedia, click "show" → (If not, please read on...)

In particular, you may be looking for Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Technoquat... Who has actually attacked my user page and I got some help in dealing with it.

With my CheckUser hat on, I can say that Technopat is Unrelated to Technoquat, other than having a really unfortunate username - Alison ^❤ 22:43, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Alison, could The Red Yellow Cucumber Gentleman actually be a sock of Technoquat? Technical 13 (talk) 00:26, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
