Piped and unpiped links
[edit]Hi, TumblingPlatypus, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your edits adding links to Westend Synagogue; it needed them. However, please read up on the editing guideline WP:LINK, which explains about avoiding unnecessary piped links at WP:NOPIPE and WP:NOTBROKEN. In your edit at Westend Synagogue, I made the following changes to simplify these links:
housing the [[Torah scroll|Torah scrolls]]⟶housing the [[Torah scrolls]]before the [[The Holocaust|Holocaust]]⟶before the [[the Holocaust]]
You see how these are simpler?
In #1, you don't need to pipe it, because [[Torah scrolls]] is already a redirect which takes you there anyway: Torah scrolls. But even if it weren't, then you just code it this way instead, with the s hanging off the end: [[Torah scroll]]s, and it will still link the same page: Torah scrolls. In fact, anything you stick on the end will be linked, as long as there is not a blank space or hyphen: [[Torah scroll]]blah blah blah still targets the same page, but links the first 'blah': Torah scrollblah blah blah.
In #2, the article title is 'The Holocaust', so you don't need to pipe 'the Holocaust' (with lowercase t), you can always lowercase the first letter of a link, and the link will work anyway (like, e.g., california, paris, beyoncé). So if you want lowercase-t 'the Holocaust', just link it that way ([[the Holocaust]]) and it will go to uppercase-T the Holocaust anyway.
Hope this helps, and once again, welcome to Wikipedia! Mathglot (talk) 23:50, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
