==Diffs and old page versions as wikilinks==

===Special:Diff/older-id/newer-id===

"Special:Diff", per '''[[User_talk:Guy_Macon/Archive_5#When_including_diffs_in_edit_summaries.2C_consider_using_a_wikilink|this archived user talk thread]]'''.<br>

How it's done:  Special:Diff/Old/Newer,
<br>i.e., <nowiki>[[Special:Diff/(older version i.e. "oldid")/(newer version)]]</nowiki>

So, for diff: [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Bill_Bogaard&diff=643919153&oldid=640906762 en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Bill_Bogaard&diff=643919153&oldid=640906762]
<br>-- which can also be rendered this way: -- [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?oldid=640906762&diff=643919153 en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?oldid=640906762&diff=643919153]
<br>we do this:
<nowiki>[[Special:Diff/640906762/643919153]]</nowiki>

which gives
[[Special:Diff/640906762/643919153]] (which can be [[Special:Diff/640906762/643919153|pipelinked]])

Whatever order the versions appear in the URL for the diff, just put the "oldid" first, i.e.,  Special:Diff/older-id/newer-id.

===Special:PermanentLink/older-id===

To show this...

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?oldid=691204686 https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?oldid=691204686] ([[The Beatles]], old version)

... as a wikilink, do this:

<nowiki>[[Special:PermanentLink/691204686]]</nowiki> = [[Special:PermanentLink/691204686]]

(...which is the same as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PermanentLink/691204686 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PermanentLink/691204686]

from [[Talk:Blackstar_(David_Bowie_album)#Avant_garde_jazz_album_-_a_misleading_characterisation]] - h/t User:Semitransgenic

Source 1: Team Rock, Stephen Dalton, [http://www.teamrock.com/reviews/2015-11-27/david-bowie-blackstar?registrationType=native album review]

<div style="height:15em; overflow:auto; border: 2px solid #c6dbf7">He shoots, he scores, he falls wanking to the floor on this boldly experimental jazz odyssey.

Can lightning strike twice? Bowie’s 2013 comeback album The Next Day was as much a testament to brilliant marketing as musical skill, arriving from nowhere after a decade of silence, secrecy and sinister rumours. It topped the charts globally, earning the legendary rock recluse his first UK No.1 in 20 years, and helped make the David Bowie Is... exhibition a worldwide blockbuster. A sell-out tour without the Thin White Duke even having to leave his New York bunker? Genius.

Due for release on Bowie’s 69th birthday on January 8, Blackstar arrives with a little more notice and background information than The Next Day, but not much. This time, the beloved art-rock godfather cannot depend on the delighted surprise and (frankly) relief that he’s alive and kicking.

With its seven lengthy tracks, this album is leaner and more focused than its predecessor, but also more defiantly arty and less poppy. That said, Bowie’s vocal range and mastery is particularly striking.

Blackstar appears to be the score for Bowie’s hotly anticipated stage musical collaboration Lazarus, which opens off Broadway in December. The drama is based on his most celebrated big-screen outing, in Nicolas Roeg’s The Man Who Fell To Earth, but any narrative parallels are buried behind opaque lyrics.

The album was recorded with various New York-based jazz musicians, rather than Bowie’s regular roster of rock players, though long-time producer Tony Visconti returns, and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem contributes percussion on two tracks.

Blackstar begins with its title track, a 10-minute mini-symphony of shifting movements and Middle Eastern melodies cloaked in jazzy electronica and muscular beats. Bowie delivers the ominous, quasi-Biblical lyric like an incantation. Then the music changes mood and a beautiful pop ballad emerges from the maelstrom, a lovely elegy about death and renewal, and fallen angels. A daunting musical monolith at first, this dense sonic tapestry reveals more and more treasures with each listen.

Hard-core fans will be disappointed that two Blackstar tracks have already been made public, albeit in alternate versions. The opaquely sketched murder ballad Sue (Or In A Season of Crime) was first released in 2014 in a skittery, brass-heavy, bebop-jazzy drum’n’bass arrangement. This update feels sharper, denser and heavier, with added funk-rock guitar squeals and percussive shudders. Crucially, Bowie’s achingly emotive vocal is terrific on both versions. 

Dating from the same single package, ’Tis A Pity She Was A Whore was originally a propulsive, roaring, heavily electronic wall of sound. This new version features more organic instrumentation, with squawking saxophone and lush backing vocals that nudge it closer towards the lightly disguised R&B stompers that shaped much of Bowie’s early career.  
One of the less convincing tracks here is the six-minute title song to Lazarus, the musical, a fairly unremarkable two-chord churn that drags in its latter stages. Girl Loves Me is another slight affair but at least offers more punch, blending tensile art-funk with electronica and drum’n’bass flourishes.

For all its arty aura, Lazarus climaxes with two rousingly emotional power ballads that remind us Bowie can still turn on that windswept romantic crooner voice. All plaintive piano and wafting saxophone, Dollar Days is soft and soulful and steeped in regret. Lightly jazzy with a long sax fade-out, this could be an outtake from Young Americans.

But the climactic I Can’t Give Everything Away is better, six minutes of heart-swelling widescreen melodrama that builds into an Absolute Beginners-sized epic. Swept along by orchestral strings, a lonely harmonica and liquid guitar solos that recall Robert Fripp’s classic Bowie collaborations, this feels like the sweet reward for sitting through the more ear-bashing experimental tracks.

Much of Bowie’s output for the last 25 years paid lip service to his avant-garde leanings while mostly sticking within fairly straight indie-rock parameters. With Blackstar, he has gone deeper, making his most adventurous and uncompromising album since his classic run of Brian Eno collaborations. Even more than The Next Day, these seven tracks suggest the sounds inside his head are in sync with his long-time soul brother Scott Walker, though thankfully he remains on warmer terms with old-fashioned melody and emotion.

It seems lightning can strike more than twice, because Bowie’s autumnal comeback keeps getting richer and stranger. Old boys keep swinging.   </div>

;Embedding refs in a section, and keeping refs under ref tag rather than in article

===how it looks===
::::Ernst is not the only person to comment on Vicker's meta-analyis. Which of these comments, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, warrant inclusion? An "Invited Commentary" (this seems to give some weight) by Andrew L. Alvins, ''Needling the status quo: Comment on “Acupuncture for chronic pain” '' which has the text, "The conclusion that most of acupuncture's observed clinical is mediated by placebo effects..." and "...critics correctly note that a new pharmaceutical agent that fails to show superiority over placebo will not be approved. Why should the bar be lowered for acupuncture?"<ref name= "Alvins2012"/> ''Placing acupuncture in perspective'' by Ziegelstein which questions the lack of context in comparison of effect size (and has another point behind the paywall).<ref name= "Ziegelstein2013"/> ''Acupuncture's elephant in the room'' by Barrett and London which points out the difference between study and practice<ref name= "BarrettLondon2013"/> as does ''Complexity of sham acupuncture'' (Huang et al.) which also notes some issues with the sham controls.<ref name= "Huangetal2013"/>

::::In terms of weight Vicker's reply to Ernst mentioned ONLY ONE study among those in the meta-analysis this does not support the entire analysis as using double blinded studies that overcome the placebo effect. As above Alvins seems to have the same opinion as Ernst. I know in general we use substantially stronger MEDRS but criticism of the meta-analysis published in the journal which published it seems applicable. Note Vickers also had a reply in JAMA Internal Medicine to the above (I don't have access to it right now).

::::Regarding the balance of meta analysis vs Ernst's commentary I think you have a valid point we should be able to reach some consensus on editing down the material from Ernst. I do think material in the notes section should be allowed but I remain open to input on that (everything else too for that matter).

===Reflist and references===

Need <nowiki>{{Reflist}} or <references/></nowiki> ...using former
{{Reflist}}

Need to use
<nowiki>{{Reflist|group=lower-alpha}} or <references group="lower-alpha"/></nowiki> ... using former
{{Reflist|group=lower-alpha}}

===Notes, and refs at bottom===
e.g., see [[Eris (dwarf planet)]]

===Harvard numbering===

e.g. [[Nicola Tesla]]

{{harvnb|Seifer|2001|p=18}}

===Other kinds of refs===
See [[Ram (album)]] for "n.b." type refs -- adding a parenthetical-type comment that also cites a ref. Specific template.

===Template: Reference page (redux)===
Provide a page number for a reference.
{{SuperScriptLinked|example|ref}}<nowiki>{{rp|37}}</nowiki>
<br>gives<br>
{{SuperScriptLinked|example|ref}}{{rp|37}}

===Template:SuperScriptLinked===
How did I do the example ref immediately above?
<br><nowiki>{{SuperScriptLinked|example|ref}}</nowiki>
<br>gives<br>
{{SuperScriptLinked|example|ref}}
Or, typical usage for humorous purposes:
<br><nowiki>{{SuperScriptLinked|sarcasm|sarcasm}}</nowiki>
<br>gives<br>
{{SuperScriptLinked|sarcasm|sarcasm}}

===Plain old superscript with wikilink===

Unfortunately, as of March 12 2015, Template:SuperScriptLinked effectively inserts a hard return, so:<br>
<nowiki>Hello.{{SuperScriptLinked|sarcasm|sarcasm}} Hooray!</nowiki><br>
gives<br>
Hello.{{SuperScriptLinked|sarcasm|sarcasm}} Hooray!

So its use is kinda limited. For sarcasm, instead use this with [[sarcasm]] already wikilinked):<br>
<nowiki><sup>''<nowiki>[</nowiki>[[sarcasm]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>''</sup></nowiki><br>
::n.b - the above is the same as the following, except that one must add "nowiki" brackets around the outermost brackets so that the two inner pairs will generate a wikilink:<br>
::<nowiki><sup>[[[sarcasm]]]</sup></nowiki><br>

so, do this:<br>
<nowiki>Hello.<sup>''<nowiki>[</nowiki>sarcasm<nowiki>]</nowiki>''</sup>  Hooray!</nowiki><br>
which, after making the wl for "sarcasm", gives<br>
Hello.<sup>''<nowiki>[</nowiki>[[sarcasm]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>''</sup>  Hooray!<br>

''For the exact text to copy -- which I can't show here owing to embedded nowiki tags recursing in an undesired way-- open !special section and copy/paste from it:''

====!special section====
without space, looks fine, but must copy-paste from raw wikitext:<br>

<sup>''<nowiki>[</nowiki>[[sarcasm]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>''</sup>

;end !special section

One can avoid having to open the above special section by inserting a space between the outermost brackets and the inner two generating the wikilink, and then remove the spaces when pasting (or, just use as is, if one doesn't mind the result looking less tight):<br>
<nowiki>Hello.<sup>''[ [[sarcasm]] ]''</sup>  Hooray!</nowiki><br>
which gives<br>
Hello.<sup>''[ [[sarcasm]] ]''</sup>  Hooray!<br>

===Subscript===
Predictable from superscript, i.e. <nowiki><sup</nowiki>>, above...<br>
<nowiki>H<sub>2</sub>O</nowiki> <br>
gives<br>
H<sub>2</sub>O
