User:Laleena/User Page
- 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.

Tip of the moment...
 Formatting disambiguation pages
Since topics with the same name don't share article pages, we have disambiguation pages to inform readers what the articles for those topics are called. Disambiguation pages list topics referred to by the same name. Like the city Chicago and the band Chicago. (See Chicago (disambiguation)). To keep search results the most relevant, disambiguation pages should never link to pages other than the search terms. Nor should they have pipes ( " | " ) in the wikilinks which conceal the actual topic name. Also, avoid including distracting information. Definitions should be concise. – – To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}

If you use Firefox, there is a user script you can install called Watchlist sorter. This script sorts your watchlist by namespace, and adds spaces within each entry. This makes the watchlist much easier to read. To install the script, copy/paste the following line into your your common.js page. This will install the script across all your skins.
Note: After saving, you have to Bypass your cache. To do this in Firefox, hold down the ⇧ Shift key while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl+⇧ Shift+R). Or, you may have to {{}} the Wikipedia server cache. – – To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd-tomorrow}}

Tip of the day
You have just grabbed the page's title to place a link on another page, but now you want to add a section title to it to create a section link, but the copy cache is already full. Instead of making two trips back and forth to the page you wish to add the link to, try this...
...use the search box as a quick-and-dirty edit window.
- Copy/paste the title into the search box, followed by a "#"
- Copy/paste the section title after the "#"
- Enclose in double square brackets and copy/paste the whole string to the page you wish to edit.
The search box is also a handy place to store copy text while you copy/paste something else. (But do not forget it is there!)
