While Ezratrumpet once edited Wikipedia often, and was once a bane of many WikiTrolls, he grew weary of endless WikiBattles, and now limits his editing to punctuation, oddly constructed sentences, and other such oddities.
He has yet to receive a
Pulitzer Prize, win a popular election, or make a discovery of such significance as to merit a Wikipedia article of his own.
Nonetheless, he remains ambitious and optimistic.

Wikipedia has a sister project that presents hundreds of thousands of word definitions. It's called
Wiktionary. Let's say you are writing a sentence and you want to create a link to the definition of a word, the understanding of which is crucial to understanding that article. But in this hypothetical situation, you don't want to link to the Wikipedia page for that word because doing so would be overkill. So, using our Source Editor, here's how you would provide a link to the definition of "understanding" on Wiktionary:
both [[wiktionary:understanding|]] and [[wikt:understanding|]] will display like this:

The Inaccessible Island rail (Laterallus rogersi) is a bird found only on
Inaccessible Island in the South Atlantic
Tristan archipelago. This
rail, the smallest extant
flightless bird, was
described by physician
Percy Lowe in 1923. The adult has brown plumage, a black bill, black feet, and red eyes. It occupies most habitats on the island, from the beaches to the central plateau, feeding on a variety of small invertebrates and some plant matter. Pairs are
territorial and
monogamous; both parents incubate the eggs and raise the chicks. The rail's
adaptations to living on a tiny island at high densities include a low
basal metabolic rate, small
clutch sizes, and flightlessness. Unlike many other oceanic islands, Inaccessible Island has remained free from
introduced predators, allowing this species to flourish while many other flightless rails have gone extinct. The species is nevertheless considered
vulnerable, due to the danger of a single catastrophe wiping out the small, isolated population. (Full article...)
