I am a past volunteer, and now enjoy visiting the Thrift Store from time to time. I presently both have a computer and am able to independently use a computer because volunteering at Free Geek enabled me to do so.  And as time goes on, I continually try to remain alert to opportunities to contribute within my present interests and capabilities.
 
 
<pre><nowiki>{{subst:Meeting}}</nowiki></pre>
 
 
 
As it turns out, I possibly could have made what I was trying to do work in the Sandbox. I began by simply desiring to understand how well the "Meeting" template might be used in researching and p'rhaps adding preFreekiWiki Council meeting minutes... somewhere.  This made necessary abstracting its (current) categorical divisions, and a subsidiary curiousity about how to most directly view it, which in turn led to curiousity about how the "[[Meeting Template|Meeting Template]]" works, hence encountering the snippet above.
 
 
 
I puzzled a long, long, long time (like an hour) over the relevent Wikimedia "Help" info, and I'm still clueless aboot whether the <code><nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></code> tag is actually html or (yet another) codebase-specific definition.  But now I "know" (approximately) what it's doing in its context (disabling a parser function), and now I'm happy (and leaving puzzling over the relevent DTD  for the time when I actually ''desire'' to learn about that isect'...).
 
 
 
Actually letting loose the hounds of <nowiki>{{subst:Meeting}}</nowiki> (and subsequently deleting it) was a little anticlimatic.  But now I have added a tiny basis for keeping my eyes from glazing over reading the "Help" pages (which have been indispensable to my learning this much, I should add).   
 
 
 
Let's see: what tersely pellucid spok' for ''this'' emendation...
 
 
 
===Context' and the Single Quote===
 
 
 
Or more like a little place to keep my most successful sandbox productions.  So, opening a page to self-edit without referring to an external link... probably impossible, because seem' PHP action...: "Please be gentle, because I just open right up!" said the blushing [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}|link text]]. form' (now not true... after all, there ''are'' limits, you know.  There ''are''!!!")
 
<pre>[[{{PAGENAME}}|link text]]  (tag pre)</pre>
 
In name spaces one might do this:
 
<pre>[[{{FULLPAGENAME}}|link text]]</pre>
 
(But of course the passage across nspaces is hazardous and long.  And beware the [[FreekiWiki:Template_messages/General|Place]] of Quintuple Double Curly Bracket Pairs, arr!) 
 
 
 
But who would ''desire'' to have a link on her user page opening said page for editing?  Behold, the beauty of Geek: someone could.  (Actually, the term "someone could" almost seems to be a technodactylic primitive... almost as if "someonecould" were itself a spok' pronoun.) 
 
 
 
'''{{CURRENTYEAR}}{{CURRENTMONTH}}{{CURRENTDAY2}}''' Oh, the possibilities.
