== Images ==

Why doesn't this page say how to link a page through an image? &mdash;[[User:Supuhstar|<span style="font-family:Neuropol; color:#AA0000;">

'''''Supuhstar'''''</span>]] [[Image:Supuhstar(SupuhSmall).gif]]

: Can one do this in Wikipedia ?. I think it would do it to an internal link and include also a small link called "license" to go the image page in Wikipedia or Commons --[[User:62.87.96.65|62.87.96.65]] 13:33, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

:It is possible, but isn't explained because it's not standard practice. See [[mw:Extension:ImageMap|ImageMap]], however, "''it should be used sparingly as image description pages contain copyright information and should normally be easily accessible.''" If you're not sure, then it's best to ask before using it. --[[User:Quiddity|Quiddity]] 17:11, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

== Review ==

Please examine May 1 edit.[[User:100110100|100110100]] 22:33, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

:Doesnt seem to be anything wrong with it that I can see? Please point out any perceived problems, else we are left to guess...

:However, your edit today was unnecessary, turning xhtml <nowiki><br />s into html <br>s</nowiki>, and leading to an [edit] link overlapping the shortcut box. Please be careful to preview the results of any layout changes you make to pages. Thanks. --[[User:Quiddity|Quiddity]] 02:16, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

::Whoops, missed the duplicate link. Corrected.

::Please try to assume good faith, and Never insult a fellow editor, especially in the edit summary where everyone has to see it. Thanks. --[[User:Quiddity|Quiddity]] 02:23, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

:::I think that is the best advice; good faith is the very basis of being a good Wikipedian. [[User:Jmlk17|Jmlk17]] 07:10, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I would add a link to [[mw:User hub]]

== Internal links ==

Which can be considered internal links in Wikipedia ? --[[User:Nopetro|Nopetro]] 10:05, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

== interwiki image links ==

is it possible to link to and display images from another wiki language site? i've been trying to use this image "[[de:bild:Josef Hellmesberger senior.jpg]]" in an article without success. --[[User:emerson7|emerson7]] | [[User talk:emerson7|Talk]] 01:25, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

:Couldn't you just upload it here too? Maybe ask the person who uploaded it to upload it to Commons. [[User:65.37.60.195|65.37.60.195]] 07:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

== Searching help ==

It's needlessly difficult to search the Help namespace on Wikipedia. Is there someway to search the help section other than to open a search for something else, and then use the little tickboxes at the bottom of the search window? Is there anyway that we could link, on the main help page, to a search box that would search the help section. I'm guessing that new users (i.e. the people that need to search help) are going to have frustration figuring out how to search help. I tried to find a page that's just a search of the Help namespace, and the best I could get was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?ns12=1&search=Giffo&fulltext=Search something like this] -- a link to a nonsense term (so there are no results) and then the proper button checked at the bottom. But this would only work if people knew to use the bottom search box. Does anyone agree with my concerns that this is a really unfriendly search mechanism for new users? --[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 16:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

:Yes, how about a "Search Help" box on this Main Help page? TIA? --[[User:Jerome Charles Potts|Jerome Potts]] 03:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

:: I put in an inquiry at the [[Wikipedia:Help desk]] and somebody pointed out that you can easily link to a google search of the help namespace -- [http://www.google.com/custom?domains=en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:&sitesearch=en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help: Search help]. I'm not sure what the policy is on linking to google searches, but I think this would be an ''extremely'' helpful tool for new users. Does anyone watching this page know if this is an acceptable link? --[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 16:33, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

== Misplaced Tucson, Arizona ==

Just west of Clipperton Island in the Pacific (west of Guatemala/Mexico), there is a spot that advertises Tucson, AZ. Not quite sure how it got there. Good luck!
