Hi. How can I add extra parts to the title using the {{
DISPLAYTITLE}} magic word? I know that using <span style="display:none;">
could hide parts, but what the code to add new parts?

. How do I do that? I am quite positive this is possible...

{{DISPLAYTITLE:...}}
. This magicword only works to change the formatting of a title, and cannot add or remove text from it, because the title, if copied, must still be searchable back to the page. The <span style="display:none;">
trick is a hack that the developers, when they implemented {{DISPLAYTITLE:...}}
, probably did not foresee (or they would have disallowed it). While it is possible with some creative CSS to hide parts of the title, it is not possible to add new parts. You can, however,
change your username if you really want it that badly (follow the instructions at
WP:CHU carefully). Keep in mind that changing a username is not something that can be done and undone on a whim; choose your new name wisely, should you opt to change, and plan on keeping that name for a long time.

This is my little brother's account and he was wondering how to create a separate wiki. I have tried to get him up and running with WikiPages and WikiMedia but it's very hard to install and isn't even good format. He says that he remembers clicking on something a year or so ago and it gave him the option of creating his own wiki (Wookiepedia as an example). Now I can't find that button, and neither can him. Can you tell us how to create a wiki? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.57.199 ( talk) 10:27, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I am a bit confused on how to correctly provide verification when the information has been provided to me by the subject through personal conversations and that of extremely close relatives . i.e My cousin Joy Adamson, author of Born Free, I am trying to verify some information about my late cousin (deceased Joy Adamson) and also am trying to provide better citations for another subject(living person) so that my edits are not deleted. Thank you very much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Litzi17 ( talk • contribs) 10:28, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I am a student at Linda Christas College, in my third year.
I have been told that Wikipedia has no editorial board but finds a way to continually reject a listing for the College.
The reason the rejections cannot be reversed? Well, there's no editorial board, of course.
Wikipedia has requested contributions from the College, and yet, has on numerous occasions rejected the College.
We have major community professionals on the Board, but evidently, if they are on the Board, that disqualifies them as third party verifications.
Some students in the past have joshed with Wikipedia because of the obtuse behavior of Wiki editors. One of the most innovative and hopeful new approaches to education in the world, and Wiki editors continually rule against including the school. Must all be graduates of traditional "think inside the box" kinds of folks.
Wikipedia has no editorial board, and, therefore, rejections and deletions of articles are done by, well, no one. But, at least the anonymous editors are consistent. One look at the history and, WOW. These guys deserve what they get.
You have asked how to attract more friends to Wikipedia in your introductory materials. My first suggestion would be not to take 5,000 families and trash them by asking them for financial support, and then negatively working them over by anonymous editors. 5000 families representing the 5,000 students attending Linda Christas College who will not forget the anonymous way in which the College has been treated.
Just in case you have anyone who would like to reverse the real travesty that is the "no editorial board" rejections of Linda Christas College, our Provost's name is Dr. Ann Voisin. Her e-mail station is details removed.
Please don't pretend that you are wanting to improve Wikipedia (as in the intro when I opened my account) when large swaths of the population are eliminated by, well, no one really. Just anonymous editors who really need to do something else with their lives.

Good Morning,
I have recently set up a wikipedia account, and tried to add myself as a contributer to the mathematics portal. When I did this I accidently added or modified someone elses information, and I do not know how to correct this error. I would like to contact the person who's profile information I goofed up, and add myself as a contributor to the mathematics portal. Can anyone explain to me how I would go about this? Any information that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. you can contact me at details removed.
Thanks in advance,

Heartbeat is a 1986 song by Don Johnson. It was released as a single and included on the album of the same name. It became an international hit, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and charting highly in many European countries. It was also ranked at #90 on the list of the 100 Worst Songs Ever by Matthew Wilkening of AOL Radio, who commented, "Fame must have messed with [Johnson's] head, because Ol' Crockett really thought he could pull this off."[1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.236.76 ( talk) 17:21, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I created User:UBX/Multiple music artists, but I don't quite have the experience with templates to make it the way I want it to be. I would like it to have up to 10 parameters for music artists, which I could do fine (and will finish doing later), but I can't figure out how to get the "and" to crop up before the last artist/band specified regardless of whether or not a user fills in all the parameters. How do I code the template to where the "and" appears before the last parameter regardless of whether 3, 6, or 10 parameters are used by a user? Ks0stm ( T• C• G) 21:18, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
