{{stub}}
- This article is a stub. You can help NSwiki by improving it.
Have you ever clicked that stub link? I hadn't. I thought it belonged on every article that needed more information. Not so, as it turns out. Click it and read.
This is a wiki. Every page could stand improvement. If you add a stub to every short page you post, they don't count in our page count. It's not that big a deal, but leaving off unnecessary stubs helps give us a better understanding of the progress we're making in building the wiki.
In short (stubbishly, you might say), don't use gratuitious {{stub}}s. Even this one's a fake, just so the Tip of the Day doesn't disappear into statistical oblivion.
Section links
When linking to a page, if the link is particularly relevant to a specific section of the page, you can have the link take people straight to that section by adding the # sign and the section title to the link. If you include a section link in an article, always use a piped link to display normal text for readability. Also, keep in mind that the section title might change, in which case the link will simply go to the top of the linked page. Redirects do not follow section links, however, so it is useless to include them there.
