Here are some tips for using Wikipedia, mostly based on my style of wikiing. If you see something here that you think can be done better or differently, don't hesitate to let me know. Template:Fco Template:Fco Template:Fco Template:Fco Quick wiki bookmark shortcuts Set up a keyword/shortcut to topics in wikipedia, this is one way of reducing your server load on wikipedia, and saving yourself some time by leaving old tabs that you need open. In Firefox: Bookmark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s Set its keyword to "w" or "wiki" or something short. Type in the addressbar: 'w Some topic' You arrive at the page entitled 'Some topic' in wikipedia. The %s in the URL is browser dependant, so if you use something else, check on it. Copyvio and fact checking If you use a browser that allows keywords/shortcuts to URLs you can make a quick one to help perform fact-checks and copyvio-checks wikipedia. In Firefox: Bookmark http://www.google.com/search?q=-wikipedia%20-dictionary%20-encyclopedia%20%s Set its keyword to 'check', In the address bar, type 'check "some text in Wikipedia I think is a copyvio"', it searches google for '-wikipedia -dictionary -encyclopedia "some stuff I think is a copyvio."' See your results, not containing any wikipedia or wikipedia mirror results! The %s in the URL is browser dependant, so if you use something else, check on it. Template:Fco
