There is much more to me

The Teahouse has just reached 1000 archives. 19:29, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

I was here when we hit six million articles. 13:32, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

About me

I mostly use the source editor over the visual editor, but use the latter for referencing and I use ProveIt for citations, as I'm not too good at using the templates. I joined Wikipedia to try and improve the article Gulval. I am currently creating an article on Dingle Farm Tearoom, although I am on-and-off with this.

Useful templates and links

Tip of the day...

Wikipedia has 34 sections, called namespaces

The encyclopedia proper is the main namespace and contains all of Wikipedia's encyclopedia articles. All of the other namespaces have prefixes, which must be included (followed by a colon) at the beginning of links to pages in those namespaces in order for those links to work. Otherwise, the links will point to the main namespace, which has no prefix.

Currently, Wikipedia has 30 namespaces: 14 subject namespaces, 14 corresponding talk namespaces, and 2 virtual namespaces.

The namespaces (by prefix) are:

1. Main/Article (no prefix), Talk:
2. User:, User talk:
3. Wikipedia:, Wikipedia talk:
4. File:, File talk:
5. MediaWiki:, MediaWiki talk:
6. Template:, Template talk:
7. Help:, Help talk:
8. Category:, Category talk:
9. Portal:, Portal talk:
10. Book:, Book talk:
11. Draft:, Draft talk:
12. Timedtext:, Timedtext talk:
13. Module:, Module talk:
14. Event:, Event talk:

The virtual namespaces are:

1. Media:
2. Special:

In any given namespace there can only be one page with a particular name.
