The Malabar pied hornbill (Anthracoceros coronatus) is a bird in the hornbill family of tropical near-passerines. It is a common resident breeder in India and Sri Lanka, where its habitat is evergreen and moist deciduous forests, often near human settlements. It is an omnivorous species, consuming fruits, small mammals, birds, small reptiles and insects. It eats by killing its prey and swallowing it whole. Figs are an important food, contributing at least 60% of the bird's diet throughout the year. It breeds in March and April, during which time figs form up to 75% of the fruits delivered at the nest. This Malabar pied hornbill was photographed in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

I have added some features to Wikipedia articles in my edits such as those below:

Tip of the moment... Finding stubs and making them grow A stub is an article that provides at least a basic definition but does not go much beyond it. It may not be the perfect article yet, but each stub should have the potential to become one. See Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub for ways to locate stubs. For example, click what links here on that same page, or on Template:Stub (the stub notice). Still not enough stubs? Then try Wikipedia:Requests for page expansion, or set the threshold for stub display in your user Preferences. That option sets a number of characters threshold value. Links to articles with fewer characters are shown in dark red. This makes it very easy to spot stubs. If the stub notice is a generic notice consider sorting the stub into a stub category. Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Wikipedia:Stub   Top-level stub categories   Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use ((totd-random))

For the music samples I use the free-for-a-while MP3 Magic 2.0 from the great Applian Technologies. You get 7 days to test it out, and only $10 to buy. (Their suite of apps is sweet because it is the best to record intenet radio.) MP3 Magic lets you create 30 second clips that conform to Wikipedia's rules for length. You then use the free, open source Wikipedia application called Audacity to convert your clips to .OGG format for Wikipedia. Select Edit, Preferences, File Format tab, set OGG Export Setup to "0" to create reduced-quality 64 kbps .OGG versions of your clips.

You can also use the paired <gallery>Images: here</gallery> tag to create a image gallery feature or stand-alone image like these from the editing toolbar:

• 
  Coyote Ridge of Mt. Tam
• 
  Coyote Ridge view of S.F. Coast

((German Language)) The HTML Table code for lyrics are just native HTML tags that Wikipedia accepts, or use the "Insert a table" button on the editing toolbar:

Main article: Super Session album - one of my favorite blues works. Have a listen in your browser in your PJs!

Shakespeare: Sonnet 18

Creating a References table in Wikipedia is almost as easy as creating a link. Look at the code at the top of the song lyrics sample table to see how to use the paired ref tag, e.g.,

<ref>[http://www.H2G2.com The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]</ref>

to create the citation^[3]. Then add a section near the bottom of the article containing the single,unpaired references tag. You will see that at the bottom of this article in edit mode.

Just include the "name" parameter in the ref tag (and don't leave it empty when you reuse it):

<ref name="Brainyquote">[http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/l/langston_hughes.html Brainyquote.com] - Langston Hughes</ref>

Richie Havens uses open D tuning on the guitar. By fretting all strings it produces a major chord on any position on the neck of the guitar.^[6]

The mayor of Petaluma is David Glass,^[7] who was formerly the vice mayor, and on the Planning Commission from 1999 until his election as mayor in November 2002^[8].

If you click "Edit this page" at the top you can see the code for all of these features and copy them, yourself.

Enjoy!

Especially on talk pages, and sometimes in External link sections, links to Google searches can be useful. The Wikimedia software that powers Wikipedia lets you make links to Google by including google: as the prefix for the link, like this:

[[google:Tipster]].

Which looks like this:

google:Tipster

Note: It is important not to use spaces in the search. To add more parameters to the search, separate them by a plus sign, +. For a phrase search, use a hyphen (minus sign), -, between each word. E.g. to search for "Tip of the day", use Tip-of-the-day.

To provide a link to a Wikipedia-specific search, include in the google-link +site:en.wikipedia.org (no spaces before or after), like this:

[[google:Tip-of-the-day+site:en.wikipedia.org]].

Which looks like this:

google:Tip-of-the-day+site:en.wikipedia.org

To clean up the link so that only the part you want to show is presented, use the pipe, like this:

[[google:Tipster+site:en.wikipedia.org|"Tip of the day"]]

Which makes it look like this:

"Tip of the day"

Many of the pages in the Wikipedia namespace have specialized redirects called "shortcuts" that can be entered into the search box on the left side of your screen. Normally these shortcuts start with WP: and then a capitablized abreviation for the page name. Some common shortcuts are: [[WP:]], WP:DEPT, WP:FAQ, WP:FUN, WP:IMAGE, WP:VP, and of course, WP:TIP. A semi-complete list of shortcuts is available at Wikipedia:Shortcuts.

Shortcut class redirects should be tagged with Template:R from shortcut(edit talk links history) so they will auto-categorize in Category:Redirects from shortcut.
All ((R from ...)) templates should be added on the same line as the #redirect [[Pagename]]. templates.

Example: #redirect [[Pagename]] ((R from shortcut)).
