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/l The list redirect is for links from various lists of users.
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".
user:Pathoschild/s The signature redirect is used for links to my userspace that I place, either inline or in my signature.
