=== 'Sorting links to your userspace'? ===
You probably saw me change "<code><nowiki>[[user:pathoschild|Pathoschild]]</nowiki></code>" to "<code><nowiki>[[user:pathoschild</nowiki>'''/s'''<nowiki>|Pathoschild]]</nowiki></code>". [[User:Pathoschild/s]] is a redirect to my userpage, so the edit may appear rather pointless. However, redirected incoming links are grouped together under the redirect, which organises [[special:Whatlinkshere/user:Pathoschild]]. This allows me to easily find new links, which leads to such discoveries as [[User:John N.|John N.]]'s nice layout, or complete my entry at [[w:Wikipedia:List of administrators/IRC nicknames]].

About my edits
'Sorting links to your userspace'?
You probably saw me change "[[user:pathoschild|Pathoschild]]
" to "[[user:pathoschild/s|Pathoschild]]
". User:Pathoschild/s is a redirect to my userpage, so the edit may appear rather pointless. However, redirected incoming links are grouped together under the redirect, which organises special:Whatlinkshere/user:Pathoschild. This allows me to easily find new links, which leads to such discoveries as John N.'s nice layout, or complete my entry at w:Wikipedia:List of administrators/IRC nicknames.
Redirect | Meaning |
---|---|
user:Pathoschild/s | The signature redirect is used for links to my userspace that I place, either inline or in my signature. |
user:Pathoschild/r | (Not used on the Meta-Wiki) The reference redirect is for links that are simply references to me in a message; for example, "I see Pathoschild edited this page". |
