• use ((em dash)) see:((em dash)) to insert an "em" (long) dash: X—Y

from "see also" documentation:

• ((·)), which produces a spaced bold interpunct ("middot"): " · "
• ((•)), which produces a spaced bullet-point: " • "
• ((\)), which produces a spaced (forward-)slash: " / "
• ((en dash)), which produces an (unspaced) en dash.

• The Online English phrase checker. This is very useful and worth bookmarking: enter the phrase in the search window to check any word or phrase on the Internet using the alltheweb search engine; for example, should "up-regulated" be hyphenated? Survey usage with and without the hyphen in just seconds, and make your own informed decision.
• Editing exercises. A set of problem sentences with click-and-show solutions, for undergraduates, from the MacEwan Centre, University of Calgary, Canada; accessed 12 August 2006.
• Ask Oxford. A free online dictionary resource, with a search box for looking up the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, information on better writing (including tips on spelling, grammar and plain English), a huge database of FAQs on the language, and a section on global English.
• The Owl at Purdue. Treatment of many writing issues; part of Purdue University's wide-ranging site for writers.
• Better editor. A rich resource of style and grammar guides, dictionaries, free software downloads and other tools for serious editors.
• Bartleby's Indo-European roots. A fascinating list of linked Indo-European roots to explore. What tickles me is discovering the variety of modern English words that are derived from each of these roots—connections you'd never have dreamt of suddenly become logical.
• The American heritage book of English Usage. We disagree with the approach on much of this site, based as it is on traditional grammar; however, we've included the address because of its search box, which enables you to access online information on your chosen topic in several popular texts; for example, you can compare what the self-appointed authorities say about the so-called split infinitive.
• The Guardian style guide. A good read, set out as short entries in alphabetical order. Some eccentricities, though!
• The Internet grammar of English. An online course in English grammar, written primarily for university undergraduates but more widely applicable; it assumes no prior knowledge of grammar.
• World Wide Words. Writer and lexicographer Michael Quinion writes about international English from a British viewpoint—indexed articles, Q&A, reviews, topical words, turns of phrase, weird words, funnies.
• Onelook dictionary search. Enter a word (AmEng spelling) to search for dictionary websites that include that word.

note - that pipes are used after template name to add desired text.

• ((tq)) is for "talk quote" and renders green text = this is something in tq
• ((tq2)) is for this: =

  and this is tq number 2, and ...
  You can add <br> breaks to this sample text to force a move to the next line..

• ((xt)) = inline positive example text, in green, with serif font
• ((xt2)) =

  same as ((xt)) ...
  but for blocks of text
  Note: that I've added two <br> breaks to this sample text to force a move to the next line.

• ((bxt)) = looks like this using bold and a sans serif font
• ((mxt)) = looks like this, same as xt, but uses mono-spaced font (especially useful in source code)
• ((!xt)) for inline = negative example text, in red, with serif font
• ((!xt2)) =

  same as !xt but for blocks (i.e., same as xt2 but red)

• ((!bxt)) = uses boldface and looks like this
• ((std)) is deprecated and replaced - do not use.
• ((xtd)) = text like this in grey
• ((bxtd)) = same as the xtd above, but uses boldface
• ((mxtd)) = uses mono-spaced font
• ((xtn)) = sample text perhaps deprecated - doesn't seem to do anything))
• ((bxtn)) same as ((xtn)) but it still applies a CSS class, and adds boldface; example: not simple boldfacing
• ((strongbad)) – for introducing something as deprecated or issuing some other warning in documentation, e.g.: Not for use in mainspace.
• ((quote)) standard quote -

  just add the pipe and you'll get this

  and it will move to the next line once the template is closed with 2nd set of braces.
• ((Quote frame)) =

  add the pipe, and the quote following it will be framed

  and it will also moves to the next line once the template is closed with 2nd set of braces.
• ((Rquote)) =

Must add a some sort of break to move to next line or it will put next text beside quote. This will be the continued test and will continue as a paragraph. To go below the Rquote you can add the ((clear)) at the end.

• ((talk quote block)) =

  uses two pipes and adds the author so says
  — User:Ched

Also moves to the next line once the template is closed with 2nd set of braces. Further samples and quote template info (such as adding lists to quotes) can be found at Template:Quote.

Wiki wants self-promotional subject matter when it comes to commons/pics

• ANI

Behavior issues ignored. Self serving license requiring attribute with name and website link to a MyProPics.com type of redirect to facebook page. Commons ignored it. Meta ignored it. People making excuses for and whitewashing the WP:EW, WP:DE, WP:NPA, WP:SPA, WP:SPAM, WP:SELFPROMOTE (from our COI guideline, even though a recent RfA tanked because of COI issues), and though I'm loathe to even mention this one WP:CIVIL.

• FA = Wikipedia:Featured articles: The highest quality articles we have. These have been peer reviewed from top to bottom, for prose, flow, spelling, and accurate references. Multiple editors are involved in this process prior to an article receiving this honor.
• GA = Wikipedia:Good articles: These articles are also peer reviewed for proper spelling, sufficient content, proper prose, flow, and references. Not as highly scrutinized as FA, but "the next best thing".
• TFA = Wikipedia:Today's featured article Refers to the placement of a FA on the Main Page, or primary entry point to the English Wikipedia, usually for 24 hours.
• DYK = Wikipedia:Did you know. A section on the Main Page for new or recently expanded articles that have been peer reviewed, and feature interesting facts and blurbs.

• FAR = Wikipedia:Featured article review: A process where older Featured Articles are reviewed to current, and increasingly stringent, standards. Articles are either demoted from FA, or improved to meet the current requirements and then passed to keep the FA designation.
