A dummy edit is a slight change in an article's wikitext that has no effect on the rendered page but allows you to save a useful edit summary. This is like a SMS (Short Message Service). To make a "dummy edit" just make a slight non-rendering change to the page, fill out the edit summary with your short message including this tag: [[WP:dummy edit]] (include the four square brackets), and save your change. (Note that a null edit does not modify the wikitext and does not allow you to leave an edit summary.) Uses for dummy edits: Correcting a previous edit summary Repairing insufficient attribution for copy-and-pasted Wikipedia content Addressing an accidental use of rollback Providing a note, from a user while logged-in, that notes an edit performed while logged out Sending brief messages regarding editing issues Providing proof of activity from time to time by a dormant but not dead user Prompting a bot to re-examine a page Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Help:Dummy edit   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}} Please proofread the daily tip...

Digital audio support Wikipedia uses the Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and WAV formats for audio, as they are not encumbered by patents (an issue that prompted the decision that MP3 files will not be hosted at Wikipedia). Software supporting Vorbis exists for many platforms... Mozilla Firefox 4, Opera 10.5 and Google Chrome 3 (and later versions) each include their own support for Ogg Vorbis files. As for multimedia players, Winamp can be used to play Ogg Vorbis files. Although iTunes does not natively support Vorbis, Xiph.Org provides a QuickTime component which can be used in players that rely on QuickTime, such as iTunes, on both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. DirectShow filters exist to decode Vorbis in multimedia players like Windows Media Player and others which support DirectShow. Various online tools (such as Zamzar) are available which let you freely convert one file format into another, and can be useful when you want to upload a file to Wikipedia.
