I've become a frequent editor here, mostly adding details to cities and schools from my home town area, the greater Miami Valley of Ohio, and my adopted home town, Phoenix, Arizona.

A technical writer by trade, and just a bit on the compulsive side, I can't help myself when I see pages that need editing. Mostly, I'm adding missing links and making sure that cross references link both directions around facts. I'm learning the guidelines as I go.

I love local history, and really enjoy finding out who did what where.

Default sort magic word

[edit]

Way cool way to make sure that categories get sorted right, and easier than typing the sort characteristics after each category.

The default sort key of a page for categories can be changed using the new {{DEFAULTSORT}} magic word. For instance, on George Washington, {{DEFAULTSORT:Washington, George}} would cause a subsequent [[Category:United States presidents]] to be equivalent to [[Category:United States presidents|Washington, George]], not [[Category:United States presidents|George Washington]]. This is especially useful when the article belongs in many categories.

{{DEFAULTSORT:Washington, George}}
<!--- Use the DEFAULTSORT magic word to sort this article in all categories --->
