Hi! I like to wander around Wikipedia reading interesting articles (and then almost inevitably editing them a little). You can often find me on pages relating to monarchies, especially pages of lesser-known royalty and their families, courts, and companions.

Whenever possible, I try to improve articles by doing some clean-up work - usually fixing grammar, typographical or formatting errors, or bringing errant alternate spellings into line with the rest of the article. I welcome any feedback on mistakes I've made. If I am unable to respond promptly to any messages, I apologize in advance; I live with chronic pain and often have to take short breaks from editing.

My particular interests include helping new editors, common misspellings, BLPs, rewriting tricky sentences to improve their clarity, fixing dead links and bare URLS, and cleaning up AI-generated text.

Tip of the day...

Displaying one page within another = Transclusion

Including the contents of a template page on a different page (by surrounding the page name with double braces, i.e. "{{}}" and leaving out the "Template:" prefix) is called transclusion.

This allows the other page to be automatically updated whenever the template page is updated.

Besides templates, pages in the following namespaces can be transcluded:

Category:
Help:
Portal:
User:
Wikipedia:

The only difference between transcluding these and templates is that you must include the prefix (followed by a colon) with the page's name inside the double braces.

Images also can be transcluded, but this is done using double square brackets instead of braces.

Here are some examples of transclusion:
