Linking to a section in another Codex Article
To link to specific section of an article, such as the Administrative Panels->Link Categories section you can use the # sign. The link in the previous sentence looks like this: Link Categories Administrative Panels, Link Categories section

Signature with User (talk) embedded
Codex Guidelines recommend a signature when making entries to User Talk pages. I saw Carthik's cool signature line, so, from WikiMedia Help, found you can customize how your signature gets rendered when you use the wiki text conversion " ~ ".

So, in my Preferences Nickname field I put:
 * MichaelH]] [[User_talk:MichaelH|(talk)

The wiki text conversion renders the ~ to something like this:
 * MichaelH (talk) 16:15, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

And, in the User's Talk page it looks like this:
 * MichaelH (talk) 16:15, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
