User:YellowAries2010

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello. I am YellowAries2010. I live in my native Western USA. I have also lived in New England, the South, and the Mid-Atlantic regions of the  United States. I modify a wide variety of articles, usually just attempting to delete errors in spelling, syntax, grammar, punctuation and the like.

I follow soccer and gymnastics. This includes college, pro, and otherwise. I also have a renewed interest in motorsports, mainly IndyCar, NASCAR Cup Series and IMSA SportsCar Championship. However, my edits, which can be seen here, reflect a wide and random array of subject matter. My main broad editing interests include, but are not limited to, sports, news, and music.

More will be added as needed, especially as my knowledge of formatting increases.

This is the page for the user formerly known as YellowAries. I neglected to provide an email address for that page, and was eventually locked out by accident. I would delete that page if I knew how.

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:

{{Pic of the day}} · {{Help:Contents}} · [[Image:Wikipedia-logo.png]]

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use
