I’m glad @Melwade
promoted it, I added the links and they are super handy. Thanks Mel.
That’s really handy, thanks @Melwade
for the tip!
@Melwade
Thanks for the handy advice!
You are welcome folks… I had been coaching a new user and realized that this was probably one of those very handy but sometimes a bit unnoticed features here on wikiHow so I thought I would share it. I also use it to keep handy some tags I use occasionally but sometimes forget the exact spelling/syntax. For example if I put an item like this: *<nowiki>{{sofixit}}</nowiki>just the tag will show up without any link. Then I can easily copy/paste it from there into a comment or article edit.
The one I have is easily one of the largest link pages on wikiHow

There are some limits… you may experience some hiccups with too many links in the MyLinks… I seem to recall one user complaining that their userpage stopped working after 40 links or so?
40 links? Wow, I think we designed them for about 4 links! I don’t think we ever envisioned anyone wanting more than that! I’m glad that this tool is still really useful for folks.
My page has 153 links and functions rather nicely.
Thanks for sharing this! I’d never heard about it before, and it’s awesome!I’ve started adding some links, though I doubt I’ll get to 40 (or anywhere near 153!)
I started using this a long time ago and it’s really handy. Anyone wanna share some of their links? Mine are… Talk page RC Patrol NAB (Every article in NAB) Deletion policy Merge policy Title policy Admin notice board Speedy Bunch patrol Logs I was also planning on creating a “Cheat Sheet” with a list of templates, instructions for copyvios, etc. and linking it on MyLinks.

I know pretty much all “wikiHow” syntax; such as “special” or “wikiHow:” so I don’t really need that many links, but I do have some…Like the logs and the ANB. June Days

Yeah, I’ll make one, too. I have to make a contest one, awards team one, e.t.c. Good idea with the links, guys.
Hate to bump, but it’s not TOO old. I got quite a few on the list itself. Just created within last two months. Never needed it before. BUt now that I have a use for it, now I wonder what I ever did without it. http://www.wikihow.com/User:Byankno1/Mylinks
Here’s mine: http://www.wikihow.com/User:Pink_Star/Mylinks
I have some admin stuff, policies, and then shortcuts to stuff I like to do.
