 * To post a notice near the top of an article's talk page indicating that a copy-edit has been completed (note that either of these is usually placed after all the various WikiProject templates, if there are any):
 * This will add the copy-editor's user name and date automatically.
 * To add correct date manually, for example, if you are placing the template a day or two after you completed the copy-edit and you want the template to show the date you actually finished the copy-edit.


 * To leave a note on requester's talk page saying copy-edit has been completed:


 * To add, at the top of an article's talk page, the WikiProject banner shell (to group together all WikiProjects connected to the article) and the GOCE template saying a copy-edit has been completed, with the date completed and by whom it was completed:


 * To add WikiProject banner shell (and  GOCE template) to the talk page of an article on a living person:

To format a quote so that it appears in green text, useful for quoting something in a discussion: Type quote here. "This is an example quote, optional quotation marks inside curly brackets." "This is an example quote, optional quotation marks outside." This is an example quote with no quotation marks. Usually used like this. The quote will appear in green. Optional quotation marks go inside the curly brackets if they are part of the quote, outside if they are not. Quotation marks are usually not used with this template. The green text makes it clear that it is a quote.

'''Not a template, but another way to highlight text, useful for highlighting text in a discussion. Select color from "Web colors" link below.''': Text goes here. Here is an example with purple text: Text goes here. .

'''To format a block quote that requires an attribution (that is, the person who said it). This particular example also includes a reference''': "This doesn't have to be liberal versus pro-business debate."

- Andrew Morgan, director Note: To omit the attribution, remove the second pipe like this:. If the 2nd pipe is removed then the reference will hang on the quoted portion instead of on the attributed portion. Multiple references may be used, and they may be of any WP approved style. Of course, a reference is not always necessary in a quote. In that case, just use: or

To format a block quote and keep the line break structure, poem or otherwise:

Be sure to leave the equals signs in place.

Here is an example:

How to create a diff from two adjacent edits
 * 1) Go to Revision History, and find the edit.
 * 2) Left-click on "Prev".
 * 3) Look up at top of page at the URL. Toward the end there should be two numbers, something like this: revision&diff=695592676&oldid=695592296
 * 4) Use this template,Type two curly brackets;type "diff", followed by a pipe;type the exact title of the page (no underline is needed).Next, from the URL, put the larger/higher number (representing the newer version) to the left (i.e. first) and the smaller/lower number (representing the older version) to the right (i.e. second). You can just highlight the sequence of numbers and "&oldid=" that appear near the end of the URL, click "Copy", then paste after the pipe that follows the page title, and then change "&oldid=" to a pipe.) A label (such as "this", "this edit", or "here") following a pipe is optional.Finally, type two closing curly brackets. Here is an example:

Or you could just put one number after "prev" (from a URL in which you see prev&oldid=695552708):

Or you can use the template to compare any two nonadjacent page versions by taking one page version number from one nonadjacent page and one page version from another nonadjacent page.

To hat, or collapse, a section:

The material you want to hat (hide from view) goes here. (Can be a template.)

En-dash and em-dash templates Click on each template link below for template documentation: ) Note: You cannot use a template, which is written with curly brackets, inside a reference that is in the "cite ref" template format (with curly brackets) or inside any other template such as the quote template, which also uses curly brackets. In that case, use  for a no-break space and   or.
 * Non breaking space: nbsp
 * No-space breaking em-dash (but is sticky on the left): nsmdns (no-space m-dash no-space as a mnemonic)
 * No-space ndash: ndash or nsndns
 * Spaced non-breaking en-dash: snds (spaced n-dash space as a mnemonic)
 * Spaced breaking en-dash: snd
 * Line break: brk (replaces HTML tag or identically functioning but more correct

En-dash and em-dash keyboard shortcuts (at least on a Mac)
 * En-dash: Alt+-
 * Em-dash: Alt+Shift+-

Optional soft hyphen shy Use this sparingly. Two places it might be appropriate to use are where there is a long word in a narrow column of text, or a long word in a caption. The main reason to use it is to avoid a very ragged (markedly in-and-out) right margin. The hyphen won't necessarily appear. It would only appear if the long word ended up at the end of a line. See the template documentation (type "Template:Shy" into the search bar) for how to use it. There are a few options there. See also MOS:SHY.

Converting units (height, weight, length, distance, speed, etc.) from one system to another:


 * Information about the conversion templates:
 * List of units: Template:Convert/list of units
 * Example conversion templates for high numbers: 13100000 km2 → 13100000 km2 or  13.1e6 km2 → 13.1e6 km2

To create a link to a user without pinging him/her use the noping template :

Useful external links: Miscellaneous
 * Google Translate
 * Merriam-Webster Online
 * Wiktionary To link a word in an article to a Wiktionary definition, use this link at the word. For example, if you want to link the word "skill", put skill or just skill . Putting the pipe hides the "wikt:".

 * Google Books Ngram viewer, used to compare usage
 * Link to IABotManagementConsole [1.1]: to see recent changes to an article Click Login. It will pick up your user name. Then, where it says "Run Bot", click on "fix a single page". Copy the article's title and click the add archives box. The process will then run – it can take a few minutes – and a list of changes will appear that have been added to the article. You have to refresh the article to see them in the reference section.
 * TFA summary char. count guideline: 900–1200; 1000–1150 great.
 * According to Checkingfax, 25% of our readers and editors are between the ages of 10 and 17; 50% between 17 and 35; 25% between 35 and 85. We need to keep that first group in mind as we edit articles.

 * One of a kind. Always polite, gentle in approach, ready to lend a hand, and committed. A copy-edit by Corinne was often a bigger deal than a GA/FA-review. Top-class work every single time; many of my articles would be nowhere without her dilligence and dedication. Truly gonna miss you, Corinne. I'm at a loss for words. Rest in peace. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:24, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Just found out about this when clicking on this user page. I thought to myself that it'd been sometime since I've seen Corinne around. So sorry about this. I'm also at a loss for words, except for echoing what others have stated above. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 04:30, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Oh no! Corinne was a wonderful person. Her collection of images stands out in my mind as well. We had interacted cordially a number of times. I was just going to ask her to check an article I found hard to understand and then was shocked to learn of her passing, very belatedly. I cannot believe she is gone. Rest in peace. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 16:08, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

 * I just learned about this from Wikipedia Signpost/2019-02-28/News and notes. Though I never knew nor think I interacted with Corinne, I do issue my sincerest/heartfelt (albeit belated) condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues. After reading the above messages, it is clear that she will be missed by the Wikipedia community as well. May she rest in peace. God speed, Corinne. -- The SandDoctor Talk 17:43, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your service. Rest in peace. --Pine✉ 03:52, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I just learned about this. I remember her thankless help with copyediting many of my articles when I was a newbie, I got to learn so much from her. Rest in peace, beautiful soul. Sainsf  (talk · contribs) 14:36, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I was reading the GOCE archives the other day, I was not an editor when you passed, but I think everyone, even the new editors, have benefited from your edits. Rest in peace, &#124; <b style="color:green">Zippybonzo</b> &#124;  <b style="color:red">Talk</b> &#124;  17:34, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
