How do you want tips added?

Hi - happy to help. How do you want tips added? Will you use rotations - for example like Wikipedia:Very good articles/by date where there is a rotation of the articles numbered 1 to 13 in Category:Selected articles?

I have added two suggestions below - not sure if this is the sort of thing you are looking for.--Matilda (talk) 20:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I have just looked at some of your tips in may and I think these are too long. I think you might find rotations easier to manage - ie transclude form a finite number of tips and then you can set it up and update it from time to time but it might be easier to maintain. --Matilda (talk) 20:21, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, some kind of pseudorandom alternation (in the style of Chenzw's signature) would probably be better. Feel free to fiddle with whatever you like; I'm not the owner of Tip of the Day! Microchip • talk 10:12, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Suggested tip on signing comments

On Wikipedia, signatures are used to find out who wrote a comment on pages in the Talk:, User talk:, and Wikipedia talk: namespaces. To sign a post, type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. Read more about signing at Wikipedia:Signatures

Suggested tip on the Manual of Style

Wikipedia has a Manual of Style to help make the encyclopedia easier to read. A style guide sets out the rules for formatting. Although one way is often as good as another, if everyone does things the same way, Wikipedia will be easier to read and use, and easier to write and edit. Many editors have found these rules work well in most cases. Editors should try to have their articles follow these guidelines, but remember, often there is "an exception to every rule", so also use common sense above all.
