Hello friend! I strive to make sourced, balanced edits to articles. I have been a proud member of Wikipedia over the past nine years. I have started a variety of articles on rural villages in India, a topic scarcely covered in Wikipedia. I am interested in Science and Medicine, Space, Religion, Animals, India, and Politics. I have created several articles based on my interests. I have several hundred pages on my watch list and have made approximately 7,000 edits on 1000+ Wikipedia pages.

Time-saving links II

Sometimes you may be editing an article and want to link a plural to its singular form. For example, to link "Fred Foo was famous for his study of puddles" to puddle, you could link it like so: [[puddle|puddles]]. However, you can save time instead by writing [[puddle]]s.

This also works with adjectives (for example, [[Japan]]ese), regular verbs in present or past tense (for example, [[dance]]s or [[dance]]d) and any other suffixes or prefixes.

However, this method does not work with spelling changes, for example: [[try]]ied does not work; you have to enter [[try|tried]]. It also does not work with possessives, so you may want to use [[Fred Foo|Fred Foo's]] to get Fred Foo's. Using [[Fred Foo]]'s will look like Fred Foo's, i.e. the possessive suffix unlinked, in plain text, and black instead of blue.

Note: if a redirect exists from puddles to puddle you don't actually need to do any piping, it's fine to link [[puddles]] too.
