 <no wiki>{{subst:Meeting}} </no wiki> 

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" 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 < nowiki > 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.

Actually letting loose the hounds of

{{subst:Meeting}}

(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 link text. form' (now not true... after all, there are limits, you know. There are!!!")

[[{{PAGENAME}}|link text]]   (tag pre)

In name spaces one might do this:

[[{{FULLPAGENAME}}|link text]]

(But of course the passage across nspaces is hazardous and long. And beware the 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.)

But, Enough About Me

weekee markup presenting text as an external link may be something like thees.

And/or on the other hand, like thees -- http://blah.org/a.page .

To link to another FreekiWiki page.

And to (say) link to Wikipedia entries aboot Franz Mesmer, James Parkinson, Alessandro Volta, and Mary Shelley ... also electrifyingly easy... of course taking care to meticulously note each development as their as yet obscure confluence of energies seem to, to yearn toward this no doubt unthinkably distant time.

But wait. Ess it pos'... could it be so simp'...?

Free Geek: (Re)search Me?!?

At once I became as if fascinated with the possibilities of embedding Google! site searches in "handling notes and manuscripts in as subtle and complex ways" as my own, uh, novel absent-mindedness might desire.

But then, eet ees almost as if I realized that in some odd hyperdimensional way, this would increase my number of fingers and of course allow many different colors and fonts for the labels and bodies of my imaginary manila-like folders, and increase the numbers and dimensions of my little cards to, well, >(5..9) (a geekish ref' to momentary human memory).

This is not a working link. Or is it?...
