I spend a lot of time editing articles associated with WikiProject Futurama. I occasionally enjoy categorizing uncategorized articles, particularly uncategorized people. I am the original creator of only two articles, Jan Roskam and Barcol hardness test. I shall consider creating another article if I find an area of Wikipedia that is significantly lacking.
I am just coming back from a long wiki-break. While I'm not editing as much as I did in my peak, I am starting to hit up my old haunts again. If there's something you're working on and you think I could be of help then drop me a message on my talk page and I'll be happy to have a look. Apparently while I was out I was also granted reviewer status, I'm sure that will be very exciting if I ever have the opportunity to use that ability.
"Space Pilot 3000" The first article I felt like I really pulled from being rather poor to rather good mostly by myself, hopefully it will be the first of many.
"Hell Is Other Robots" Most of my work on this article was early on rather than during the actual promotion but I do feel responsible for most of the Production section and the info from the Pinsky book. The real credit goes to User:Cirt who made this what it is today.
Futurama I didn't work on this as much as the other two but I feel at least partially responsible for it's current state of being.
A fact from the article Jan Roskam, which this user created or significantly contributed to, has been featured in the Did you know... section on the Main Page.
A fact from the article Barcol hardness test, which this user created or significantly contributed to, has been featured in the Did you know... section on the Main Page.
I, Chickenmonkey X sign? , would like to give you, Stardust8212, this barnstar for helping me in my early days as a Wikipedian, being a great Wikipedian in your own right, and being a generally all-around positive force on Wikipedia. That said, and as I have recently returned from a wiki-break of sorts, I hope to see you editing regularly again in the near future. If not, please accept this barnstar whenever you see fit. -- 03:12, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
A redirect is a page that has the sole purpose to automatically redirect readers to a differently named page; to take the reader where they really wanted to go. Redirects allow a topic to have more than one title. Redirects are used for synonyms, abbreviations (initialisms), acronyms, accented terms (diacritics), misspellings, typos, nicknames (pseudonyms), scientific names, etc.
To create a redirect for the term "Oof":
Type Oof in the search box, press ↵ Enter
Click on the redlink for Oof that it presents
In the edit window that appears, type #REDIRECT [[Foo]] on the first line to make it lead to the article Foo
Redirects should be organized in to categories too. Each redirect can have up to seven redirect categories. Categories go on the third line of the redirect. (Note: Plant has a subcategory within the category of scientific name; enter plant after a pipe).
Here are two examples of a redirect category using a category template:
{{R from birth name}}
{{R from scientific name|plant}}
Preview your new redirect before saving it. Make sure:
There is a big right-facing arrow to the left of the bolded name of your target page name.
That your target page is bolded in blue (if it is red, go back and double check your target name in the edit window).
That your redirect category has rendered properly and that the boilerplate it presents makes sense.
