Hello. You don't need to write [[Stiff_upper_lip_(disambiguation)|stiff upper lip (disambiguation)]]; it suffices to write [[stiff upper lip (disambiguation)]]. Similarly, you can write [[hyphen]]ated, [[Australia]]n, [[dog]]s, [[logic]]al, etc., and the whole word, not merely the part in square brackets, will appear as a clickable link, and if you click on it, it will go to the article whose name is in the brackets. The vertical slash between the brackets may be used for such things as "the [[19th century|19th]] and [[20th century|20th]] centuries", etc. Michael Hardy 00:45, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Also, please don't capitalize an initial letter just because it's in a section heading, i.e., you should write

Also, if you put the tag [[fr:Jean Giono]] at the bottom of the article, it creates a link to the French Wikipedia article with that title. Above the article's title you will find the links to the article in the various languages (of which, for many articles, there are none). For example, above the title of the article Edward Hopper, you find three such language links; it says "In other languages....". It also works if you put that tag anywhere else in the article besides the bottom, but that is not good because it creates extra blank space between paragraphs or at the top.

[edit] Journawiki
Hi, I wonder if you might be interested in a possible new wiki about journalism. A discussion is at User:Maurreen/Journalism Maurreen 19:26, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
