Linking to a section in another Codex Article
[edit]To link to specific section of an article, such as the Administrative Panels->Link Categories section you can use the # sign. The link in the previous sentence looks like this: [[Administration_Panels#Link Categories|Link Categories Administrative Panels, Link Categories section]]
Linking correctly to The Loop

- the loop [[the loop]] doesn't work, puts you in edit mode.
- The loop [[The loop]] doesn't work, puts you in edit mode.
- the Loop [[the Loop]] doesn't work, puts you in edit mode.
- The_Loop [[The Loop]] is another correct way to link to The Loop article.
- the_loop [[the_loop]] doesn't work, puts you in edit mode.
- The_loop [[The_loop]] doesn't work, puts you in edit mode.
- the_Loop [[the_Loop]] doesn't work, puts you in edit mode.
Signature with User (talk) embedded
[edit]Codex Guidelines recommend a signature when making entries to User Talk pages. I saw Carthik's cool signature line, so, from WikiMedia Help, found you can customize how your signature gets rendered when you use the wiki text conversion "~~~~".

- MichaelH]] [[User_talk:MichaelH|(talk)
The wiki text conversion renders the ~~~~ to something like this:
- [[User:MichaelH|MichaelH ]] [[User_talk:MichaelH|(talk)]] 16:15, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
And, in the User's Talk page it looks like this:
