Please don't monkey about with joke edits. We try hard here to produce something we can all be proud of, and silliness doesn't help. Articles are monitored, and users messing around could be
blocked. Why not try contributing something useful instead? Have a look at the links below and get stuck in properly:

EASYy, AUTOMATED checking for copyright violations
Lets be honest, finding/proving a copyright vio is a complete bitch. You copy random strings from the article into Google, put some quotes around them, and spin the dice. No longer! Break free from your chains of boring grunt work!
I have come across many admins and users who don't know about this site, and I think they should.
Copy in a wikipedia page's URL, hit search and in around 5 seconds it will find any copyright violations! Just a few minutes ago I used it here. Have fun, and lets get the copyrighted crap out of Wikipedia =D (remember that wikipedia mirrors are no violations, heh) --mboverload@ 08:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you were trying to protect the title of AlpInvest Partners, so I deleted the page again (CSD G6) and added it to the protected titles page. Since {{ deletedpage}} was TfD'd, we should be using the protected title cascade-protect solution now. There are instructions on the page at WP:PT, and if you need any further help just give me a call. Cheers, Nihiltres( t. l) 15:40, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

The templates are {{ at}} and {{ ab}} (or, "afd top" and "afd bottom"). They are used like this:
{{subst:at}} '''delete/keep/speedy delete...''' (possibly add an explanation here) ~~~~ discussion {{subst:ab}}
They are to be used at the very begin and end of the subpage. For RfD, MfD, etc. there are other templates with similar names. Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 12:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Sample:
Pop-up Installation
You have to create (or edit) a file in your userspace. For most people, this file is called User:Brookie/monobook.js where you should replace USERNAME with your username. Note that the case is important here: it's monobook.js and not Monobook.js.
(People using the classic skin should edit standard.js instead, and people using other skins probably know which file to edit :-)
Edit that page and paste in these lines:
// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');
Clear your browser's cache and when you hover the mouse over internal links, popups should appear.
To install the script on the commons or wiktionary, repeat this procedure on those wikis.
To uninstall the script, just delete those lines from your javascript file and clear your browser's cache.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp. We normally do this on discussion pages as a courtesy, but not in articles.
How to provide a link to a specific Google Search
Especially on talk pages, and sometimes in External link sections, links to Google searches can be useful. The Wikimedia software that powers Wikipedia lets you make links to Google by including google: as the prefix for the link, like this:
Which looks like this:
Note: It is important not to use spaces in the search. To add more parameters to the search, separate them by a plus sign, +. For a phrase search, use a hyphen (minus sign), -, between each word. E.g. to search for "Tip of the day", use Tip-of-the-day.
To provide a link to a Wikipedia-specific search, include in the google-link +site:en.wikipedia.org (no spaces before or after), like this:
Which looks like this:
To clean up the link so that only the part you want to show is presented, use the pipe, like this:
Which makes it look like this:
