User:DimeCadmium/Edit links

This is my rant on edit links on people's userpages.

A lot of people, I've noticed, use something like this to link to their userpages' edit functions: + Which renders to + - in the words of my Physics teacher: you are WRONG [if you use it].

A much better way, IMO, which takes a few more seconds, is: + Where someClass is an identifier (i.e. alphanumeric, no spaces) which is unique to YOUR USER. Thus, I chose dcEditLink - I could have said anything else I don't think anyone else will use.

Then go Special:MyPage/monobook.css and edit that page, adding the following to it: .someClass { display:inline !important; } (Again, replace someClass with your identifier) This will make it show the contents of every ...... to you (and only you, since it went in your personal monobook.css).

This way it doesn't clutter up the page for everyone else, and you still have your easy way to link to an edit page.

Note that you only have to do the edit to your monobook.css ONCE, and then tag each edit link with the same class as your other links.
