===Highlighted Lines or Paragraphs===
Simply putting a space in front of a line will cause it to be highlighted in a box. The following box is created that way.
This is notewarthy.
And so is this; it will end up in the box on another line.
And you can also put a long rambling line, which, when the page is rendered in a viewer's browser will line-wrap. That is, therefore, how you would so highlight and entire paragraph. That is, a long sentence, or several sentences.
In a normal rendered page (i.e. not in a pea-green background), the background tends to be very light grey, and the highlighting light grey/blue.
===Example link to a redirect page===
Using the following will allow you to "stop" at the redirect page, allowing you to view its history and probably, in the extreme, change it from a redirect to a non-redirect page. The sample page I have chosen to view is "

Line 239 ⟶ 259:
It seems to me, but I could be wrong, that there is a distinction between solving a puzzle given the assurance that it has a single unique solution, and analyzing an arbitrary partial grid to determine its number of possible solutions. The knowledge of a unique solution is (a small amount of) extra information. The application of set inference to candidate ''value'' elimination seems obvious. I believe it can be done for position elimination as well, but I've never thought of it at all formally that way. (Each ''value'' for each region would have a set of candidate ''positions'', candidates of which can be eliminated until there is only one left; in practice, for difficult puzzles I do this by visual inspection of my contingencies on "cheat sheets"--that is, when simple ranging doesn't work or I overlook it).--''[[User:SportWagon|SportWagon]] 23:22, 8 November 2006 (UTC)''
Note to SportWagon:
I've read about solvers and algorithms, and some people have expressed interest in an excel solver. I do have developed a very simple excel solver that can handle 9x9 SUDOKUS. It is 100% automatic when the puzzle does not need trial-n-error. I've found that 90% of puzzles are straight forward. The tool allows to analize alternative solutions when guessing is needed, so one can easily solve even sudokus with unique solution that require guessing. I am also using that tool to develope a ranking scheme that is pretty much objective and accurate to describe expected dificulty to solve the puzzle on hand. Any one interested in having a copy, raking a particualr sudoku against the ones I have or get a copy of the most dificult one I have found so far just let me know (is email publication allowed here?). --[[User:Alvaro Ledesma|Alvaro Ledesma]] 02:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure there must be "colour box" templates somewhere, but I've not managed to track them down.--''[[User:SportWagon|SportWagon]] 15:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)''
== Tempt WinBot again, but with code tags this time ==
Let's see if [[User:WinBot|WinBot]] changes the following welcome to subst:welcome (first line is the code)...
<code><nowiki><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>welcome<nowiki>}}</</nowiki>nowiki><nowiki></</nowiki>code></code>

--''[[User:SportWagon|SportWagon]] 15:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)''
:My apologies for changing the code within nowiki. WinBot is designed to subst user talk page templates with list generated from "what transcludes here". I believe that it was the un-susbst'ed welcome template in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASportWagon&diff=90436848&oldid=89517530 your user talk page] brings WinBot to here and changed the template in the nowiki sections also.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused. --[[User:Winhunter|WinHunter]] <sup>([[User talk:Winhunter|talk]])</sup> 02:23, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

== [[SPEED Channel]] Cleanup Required? ==
The user [[User:Tarun2701 | Tarun2701]] who added the cleanup tag to [[SPEED Channel]] has made no [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Tarun2701 contributions] at all since December 1, 2006? And has no user or talk page. You added the date to the tag (Nov 2006), but it was, I assume via a bot. There is nothing in the discussion page about the cleanup required (and no indication anything was added at the time the cleanup tag was added). It might be nice if someone created an agenda. I don't feel I have the experience myself, to spearhead such an effort. And the page is not under the umbrella of any project, as far as I can tell, although maybe there is a suitable such project for it?--''[[User:SportWagon|SportWagon]] 00:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)''
:I've done some trivial cleanup, and removed the tag. The lead section is alittle long, could do with a "History" section. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', 10:06 [[14 February]] [[2007]] (GMT).
== The monkeys ==
Sorry about removing the trivia item about the monkeys on Trial Mountain from ''[[Gran Turismo 4]]'' - I didn't realize that Yamauchi thought so much of them. After whoever added the toomuchtrivia tag (and I strongly agree with it), I took a hard look at every bit of trivia in there, and the monkeys bit just seemed kinda, well, stupid. My bad! The really tall tree item seemed pretty pointless, and as hard as [[Nessie]] is to find in there, that seemed worthy of staying. All judgement calls, of course, and I'll be the first to admit that my judgement is sometimes faulty. :) — [[User:Wwagner|Wwagner]] 18:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

== The GT4 strategy guide ==
If you're going to look in there for info on the World Trade Center being in the New York track, can you look in there for some verification on the Kingdome comments for the Seattle track too? That one's been tagged with verification-needed for a looooong time. Some proper cites would look nice on those paragraphs. — [[User:Wwagner|Wwagner]] 21:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
:Sorry, I looked, but couldn't find mention of either detail in either the Strategy Guide, or the special Prima Book ''Driving the Game''.--''[[User:SportWagon|SportWagon]] 23:07, 6 October 2007 (UTC)''
::Thanks for looking. It sounds like a good excuse to remove them from the article. Frankly, those trivia bits always sounded like BS to me - after all, ''GT4'' is a Japanese game, and those landmarks are in the USA. What kind of nostalgia are a bunch of Japanese game programmers going to have about some American buildings? While I'm about it, I'll remove those new uncited "criticisms". — [[User:Wwagner|Wwagner]] 14:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
::One more quick thing - I just drove the New York track, specifically to look for the [[World Trade Center|WTC]]. There are some buildings very near the finish line which do look somewhat like the WTC. However, the real WTC was some 70 blocks south of [[Times Square]], which is where the track's finish line is located. Busted! I removed that whole thing. — [[User:Wwagner|Wwagner]] 15:00, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
:I had forgotten to check the GT3 guide. So I did so last night, and it points out that both the Kingdome and the new stadium are (now) there, but does not mention "nostalgia", nor give any reason or speculation about why the old one was retained. Please ack this comment here.--''[[User:SportWagon|SportWagon]] 21:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)''
::Loud and clear. Well heck, why not cite the fact that both stadiums (stadia?) are there? Seeing as citations are good and all that... :) I imagine they just used the same basic models, with tweaks to the actual track, between the two games. — [[User:Wwagner|Wwagner]] 23:02, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Another editor has added the <code>{{tl|prod}}</code> template to the article [[Legends of Motorsport (band)]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]] and [[Wikipedia:Notability]]). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at [[Talk:Legends of Motorsport (band)|its talk page]]. If you remove the <code>{{tl|prod}}</code> template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]], where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. <!-- Template:PRODNote --> [[User:BJBot|BJBot]] ([[User talk:BJBot|talk]]) 07:00, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I play in Legends of Motorsport and I contributed some snippets of factoids to the article to satisfy a lazy journalist - I'll have you know (seeing as you're too lazy to google it) that the band is still fully operational and I would appreciate it if the article would be reinstated. 5 Sept 2008 [[Special:Contributions/58.105.51.140|58.105.51.140]] ([[User talk:58.105.51.140|talk]]) 02:05, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
:You should identify yourself (as a Wikipedian). The logs for the article indicate there is some consensus the article should not be undeleted. I have no feelings either way.

:I know of no means by which other editors can change one's watchlist. It's possible that an article you had watchlisted was moved, either as vandalism or as a proper move, which would add the new article title to your watchlist in addition to the original title.

::[[Racing line]] definitely got moved off because of what you mention. But I was sure I had put it back. Perhaps someone later adjusted the move again, or something.

Hi, I suspect this racing driver was the son of Howard F Hobbs who created the Hobbs Automatic Transmission (look at the article on [[Westinghouse Brake and Signal Company Ltd]]) if you are not sure such a development ever existed.
I think that while it was never a commercial success this Hobbs gearbox / transmission deserves an article in Wikipedia. Quite a few articles would link to it.

== A new section for (the end of) 2020 ==
:I'm puzzled about Gflores. A major rewrite of [[Legends of Motorsport]] seems to be attributed to another user now.
::--''[[User:SportWagon|SportWagon]] ([[User talk:SportWagon#top|talk]]) 22:09, 5 December 2020 (UTC)''
::No. Gflores did my welcome, and later asked me for help with a revised welcome page.
::Other users did major revisions of [Legends of Motorsport]. One with a bit of consultation, and I think later somewhat arbitrarily.
::--''[[User:SportWagon|SportWagon]] ([[User talk:SportWagon#top|talk]]) 22:54, 5 December 2020 (UTC)''
:I am also puzzled which most of the page above is in a strange bold stilted, somewhat small font. I'm especially puzzled that it has not continued through to this section.
::--''[[User:SportWagon|SportWagon]] ([[User talk:SportWagon#top|talk]]) 22:54, 5 December 2020 (UTC)''
::Actually that problem was due to Gflores tag-mismatched, HTML-version-inconsistent sig (and perhaps due to wiki[mp]edia trying to compensate for errors and getting it wrong; commenting out the original Gflores sig code fixed the problem, ayway).

::::Hi Sportwagon, yes I helped you with the page. Previously, I was under the username Gflores. --[[User:Mahanga|<span style="color:darkred">Mahanga</span>]] ([[User talk:Mahanga|Talk]]) 00:39, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

== Marmite and British Culture ==

Perhaps it used to expand inline? I will transcribe it now.

Posted in group: [3]soc.culture.british
Those other soc dot culture groups boast poems nationalistic,
So I thought I'd contribute this, although it is simplistic:
The Joy of Marmite
I spread my Marmite sparingly, upon my buttered toast
Of all the things to put on bread, it's what I like the most.
Its flavour always feels warm, although it isn't hot
--Caustic like a chili sauce, it certainly is not
Approved by vegetarians, and good for your nutrition
Of what my Mum called savoury, the very definition.
Though made from lowly byproducts--leftover brewing ooze
It is so reminiscent of the finest of French stews
Such grand associations were surely what was meant
When so named by clever brewers from Burton on the Trent
Precisely what exquisite yeast do Marmite makers use
To lend such gourmet qualities to brewing residues?
I spread my Marmite sparingly, upon my buttered toast
Of all the things to put on bread, it's what I like the most.
Its flavour always feels warm, although it isn't hot
--Caustic like a chili sauce, it certainly is not
Not sour nor bitter, so subtle tasting generally,
But it has a pungent salty side which can my downfall be
For if through too much eagerness I heap it far too thick,
I will regret my foolishness, as I get nearly sick
Then for a month, or even more, I will not touch the stuff
Until my fading memory emboldens me enough
Such occasional indulgence provides an education;
The key to true enjoyment is always moderation.
-- A.R.D. Pepper, March 1993
