Worthy of consideration

• "Editors are encouraged to add an archive link as a part of each citation..." Please. Doing so helps prevent link rot.
• Countering Systemic Bias on Wikipedia
• On redirects
  • Essay countering the "Pandora's Box" argument
  • Keeping redirects - "If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do."
• "You can contribute to Wikipedia without needing to know what the rules are." — glad that's the case.

Tip of the moment... Posting on the Wikipedia Community Bulletin Board The Community bulletin board (aka WP:CBB) is a terrific way to let your newly created Portal, WikiProject, etc., be known to the community, including at the Community Portal. It's also a great way to recruit fellow editors. If you post a notice there, please follow these guidelines: Use present tense. Bold the main link. Keep it short and sweet, news style. Use pulldates (one week) by inserting them into a hidden comment like this: <!-- Pulldate: July 3 --> Or just follow the instructions on the page, which will be visible when you edit it. You can also submit WikiProject and similar news to the relevant section of the Wikipedia Signpost.

Questions to which I would like answers

Data duplication

How can I avoid data duplication in a table such as the one here? Is there a way to store/use a value into/from a variable? In the example cited, I am duplicating data three times in each row. There must be a better way!

How to hide entire rows of a table?

I hid individual cells of a table here. How can I hide entire rows?
