Merlyn are you trying to create (or link to) a WikiWord by bunching the terms Quantum mechanic and Virtual Particles together? Or was is just a typo? Hopefully the later as I took the liberty of correcting it ;-),... as to the linking of terms to Wikipedia as far as I can see the '[[]]' (enclosing words in a double square brackets) function doesn't seem to work from deoxy, i've had to enter the full url from the desired page,..example (yes a total newb ;-) any ideas/thoughts/ comments ?
- Yes, it was my intention to create the wiki words "QuantumPhysics" and "VirtualParticles". I see you also edited my 23 page. The wiki links were deliberate. I thought someone else might provide these pages.
- We could use external links to provide definitions, but we could also define these concepts ourselves, giving them a Deoxy slant, and include external links at the end of the Deoxy article. Otherwise it seems to me that this wiki will use many Wikipedia pages, which is possibly not what we want as Wikipedia does strike me as pretty 'straight' ;-)
- Mim, I now notice you've edited your edits. Please discuss your ideas here if you wish. e.g. do we want quantum physics, virtual particles, neurological grid etc as wiki words ? What words do we want to make wiki words ? and what is best left to external links ? (just thoughts) Later — I've noe read AvoidClutterLinks and have decided to do away with the link words. If someone creates a relevant page here, I could link to it, until them I'll leave them as normal words. ;-)
See InterWiki for the wikipedia shortcut. Double square brackets are used to force wiki links within this wiki, like when linking subpages (the previous link) or to make links from [phrases with whitespace].
Wikipedia:Whatever = WhateverWikipedia:what+ever = what ever
Lets see,.... Barfly
eureeka!
merci ;-)
At first I thought it was a typo,.... Then I delved further into the WikiRabbitHole and discovered WantedPages , PageProlepsis and WordsSmashedTogetherLikeSo,
(Note to self: learn more before editing other's pages,...;-)
An arguement can be made for all sides:
- By creating 'potential' pages one leaves a seed that may or may not come to fruit
- To create links to Wikipedia and provide more/backround information.
- or leave it in plain text and avoid distractions
Personally, for Biographies (names) semi-obscure concepts (define THat ;-), I'll link to wikipedia until someone can get around to making a deoxy page (asuming the interest is there), again tis only my opinion, others may vary. As to the Edit all I had to do was 'revert to original, and like magic it appeared , the wonder of Wiki,...;-)
From WikiWord, "Smashing words together, also known as CamelCase, is a controversial technique. It's the original wiki way of catalyzing creative expression through language creation."
"The enormous power of WikiWords is that they function as words. That allows you to frame very complex statements in a very concise language, and to say things whose subtext can be supplied and altered communally, and non-locally in time. This makes explicit a key attribute of UniversalMind."
Quite the responsibility,..use wisely

Post Edit. You want a Deoxy Burroughs page, you got it,.... (tho. 'technically' tis a media page,....best I could do, I had a need to include da voice ;-) edit at will,...
Note: is this the reason I can't link through the [[]] method? media vs wiki? Me thoughts they were two sides of the same coin,..
is slightly vexed,...
Although they use the same software each wiki on deoxy (/wiki /meme and /media) has a separate database and only knows about its own pages. Use the InterWiki shortcuts to prefix links with the name of the corresponding wiki:Media:McKenna, Meme:AviationSmog, Wiki:VisionQuest.McKenna, AviationSmog, VisionQuest.
