Pointer jumping
Hi, Thanks for your Pointer jumping article. I see that there's just one article that links to your article. There may be some additional possibilities. After putting Pointer jumping in the search window and selecting "containing" that opens up at the bottom of the search window, it seems as if Pointer jumping may be linked in related articles, such as jumping -- but I wasn't sure where it was applicable.

If you'd like to get greater visibility, linking to more articles could help out quite a bit.

 * Thanks for your suggestions, Carole. I didn't find any pages that immediately refer to pointer jumping. However, the technique is also known by aliases such pointer doubling and recursive doubling. It might help if those pages were forwarded to the initial article. I've seen this behavior on many other pages, but I don't know how to set that up. Can you point me to some documentation? --Moreland, Kenneth (talk) 00:26, 19 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Here's an example of how you link your article to a similar term in an article: pointer doubling, where the first term is the wikipedia article and the second term is how you'd like it to display.


 * You can also create redirected pages, like one I just created for Recursive doubling. Then, you could just link directly to Recursive doubling or set it the link like recursive doubling -- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 01:44, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
