Linking to a Section

So how do you link to a section of an article?

By adding a pound sign ("#") and the section title. EG Misplaced Pages:Tutorial (Misplaced Pages links)#How to link. Niteowlneils 23:27, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Link Formatting

Is it acceptable to use ]al, to create a link, instead of ]? I know they both perform the same... -- Huntster 03:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

It is acceptable. Which one you use is a matter of personal preference. —EncMstr (talk) 17:40, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

colons?

Whats the leading colon in ] for? Everywhere I look the colons are omitted. --ChainSuck-Jimmy 18:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

The leading colon keeps the page from becoming part of the category and instead inserts a link to the category. —EncMstr (talk) 17:40, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikidictionary links

In many articles, I have found words which I do not understand the meaning of. Is there a way of linking words from an article to Wikitionary? It seems that the closest I get can get to that is by adding wikitionary as an external link which it shouldn't be. Wikitionary and Misplaced Pages should come nder the general name of Misplaced Pages.

Please let me know the solution of this problem.

]

for example, if you wanted to link to the "transitive section" of "detail" you would have:

]

which would look like this: wiktionary:detail#Transitive_verb, or in a nicer way: detail --this is the code: ] ..208.127.20.196 23:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Linking to Misplaced Pages articles in other languages

Is it possible to link to an article in a Misplaced Pages in another language? Is is useful if there already exist a good article in the link target language and you don't have time to translate it to the first language. Other reasons are also possible, like the subject is more notable in certain regions.

Yes it is. Common practice is to put such linkages at the bottom of an article's wikitext. Each entry looks like ] where xx is the ISO language code. —EncMstr (talk) 17:40, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Categories

I find the Categories section very confusing. It doesn't explain any applicable information for beginners actually wanting to edit pages, just a vague explanation of what Categories are. Also, the English has confusing syntax.

For example: "You can also put the article in a category with others in a related topic." Put which article in a category? One you're linking to, or one you're editing? If the latter, what does this have to do with Misplaced Pages links? Does the writer of this sentence mean to say "with others of a related topic"?

I would fix these issues, but I'm honestly very confused as to what Categories are, and when to use the described code. Apollo reactor (talk) 00:54, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

How to edit a section?

For most pages, I can see a edit link to edit a particular section. I don't see on this tab enabled page. Any Good method to see the link to edit a section?--Amol.Gaitonde (talk) 08:49, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Slimbouwen a vision on innovation in the construction industry

Slimbouwen is a vision on guided innovation in the construction industry. It was introduced by Prof. dr. Jos Lichtenberg of the Eindhoven University of Technology. The word was originally (2002) used as a title for a research project aiming at an integral development on building level. SLIM in Dutch stands for both smart and lean, BOUWEN is the Dutch word for ‘to build’ Slimbouwen starts from the appointment that the traditional way of building does not fit the today’s requirements any more. Building does substantially affect the environment in many ways and the building process became quite complex and inefficient. In the last century step by step services were added to the already known building structure, without re-evaluating the building tradition. Slimbouwen is a vision rather than a building system and is physically spoken mainly based on the separation of services from the building structure. A crucial development for this approach is the use of double shell structures such as the 'Infra+ floor' (nowadays 'Slimline') and so-called 'Wing floor', but also some (partition)wall systems. These double shell structures enable the installer to mount their prepared and prefabricated services as a whole and the user to change the installations during the use of the building. By the double shell structures a substantial reduction of material (weight) is obtained, without losing perceived quality such as acoustical insulation. The separation of services facilitates a simplification of the process and a substantial gain of time. Slimbouwen is a new approach for construction and a source for research at the Eindhoven University of Technology. The research frame is named 'Resetting Construction'. As a spin-off of this research concrete product development is already established. Not only by the university, but also by the market. Meanwhile also some 50 Slimbouwen projects have been carried out, some of them rather large and architectural appreciated. Products and projects contribute to the optimization of the efficiency, flexibility and sustainability in the construction industry. One of the main objectives is to rearrange the building process from an onsite parallel process into a serial process existing of only a few main steps with a minimum of interdependency of disciplines. The desired process containing limited number of major sub activities, can only be obtained by a separation of services from the rest of the process. In the traditional process the services are extremely interwoven with almost all building parts and in a new approach this has to be avoided. Only then it will be possible to divide the building process into a limited number of sub processes with a low interdependency rate. Each main participant is responsible for preparation, production, mounting, guaranties, etc. for the total sub system. This is similar to other industrial branches. For example in the car-industry, the electric wiring is installed in only one operation. This is facilitated by the design and engineering where the process of wiring already has been taken into account. The installation in one operation also enables the development of a cable-tree (or duct-tree). Actually this is basically where an industrial process is all about. At first a proper division into sub processes and next comes the prefabrication and then the automation. The Slimbouwen vision obtained more status and became a movement after Jos Lichtenbergs' inauguration as a Professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology in 2004 where Slimbouwen was also the main subject of the inaugural speech, the publishing of many articles, the lectures (about 60 each year) and in particular his book Slimbouwen®. In 2006 the movement became an official status as a foundation.
