[wp-forums] self-linking rules?

[Mika A Epstein]

Officially added just means wikiediting, really.  I don't see any technical restrictions on making and linking new Wiki pages, it's just that generally people seem to not do that here. Which is odd, in many ways.

Two things are accomplished:  The information is more likely to be available at a later date because it is in Codex, and there's no question the person's motive is to contribute to the open source movement.

Strictly speaking, it isn't a WP issue - it's a general CSS wrangling one. But I got so tired of posting the same answer that I initially ended up writing a blog post on it.

That was months ago but, despite having a wander around the docs every now and then, I've yet to find a suitable slot for this kind of info. It's way too big for a faq point but I'm unsure if it's suitable as a Codex page in its own right.

I know it is possible but there's only so many hours in a day, this does all add up and no one has unlimited time to spare. So I end up linking to my user page (which is really clunky) or, on rare occasions, to my own blog.
