Wikipedia:Tip of the day/October 11, 2008

Keep track of your questions

Wikipedia has many places to ask questions, such as the:
 * Help desk
 * New contributors' help page
 * Reference desks
 * Village Pump (technical) forum
 * and the talk page for each and every article in Wikipedia.

Sometimes, a user will post a question and forget all about it. It is easy to forget about these unless you keep a record of the questions you posted to refer back to later. One useful method for doing this is to set aside a section of your user page or talk page, to keep a list of links to your queries. In this list, you can place section links which lead directly to the subheadings under which you posted your queries.
