If you can't bear the thought of going another moment without communicating with me, please send me email or use my talk page. I may respond on yours. If I don't respond right away, assume I have a day job. :-)

I'm particularly interested in the following pages:

FreeBSD, Drupal and open source software development,
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the country's public broadcaster,
Mountains, a feature at which Canada excels, and
Category:Canada stubs

Navigate faster using Wikipedia shortcuts

Many of the pages in the Wikipedia namespace have specialized redirects called "shortcuts" that can be entered into the search box. Most shortcuts start with WP: followed by a capitalized abbreviation of the page name. Some common shortcuts are: WP:HELP, WP:WELCOME, WP:IMAGE, WP:5P, and of course, WP:TIP. A semi-complete list of shortcuts is available at WP:CUTS.

A shortcut can be used in the search box or in a link.

To jump to the talk page of a page with a shortcut, start with "WT:" instead of "WP:".
