Salutations my fellow humans (I'm stupid noob...) Randfan|click me, speak to me

Welcome to my user page! I'd thank you not to delete/change anything in here without my permission! I'm obviously a ðWoT fan! Needless to say, I'm a bibliophile. But I will try to help Wikipedia as much as I can. I am somewhere from 5 and half years old to 87 thousand years old. I became a member in the year: A.U.C. ^(1*) (Latin) 2759 and I live in a universe. To see what organizations I'm a member of on WP go here or to see who I've "adopted" go here. I'll come around to making some more stuff for this ~~later~~ quite possibly never...

^1*A.U.C.

(abbr. Latin.): ab urbe condita (from the founding of the city [of Rome, traditionally regarded as 753 B.C.]) or anno urbis conditae (in the year from the founding of the city [of Rome, traditionally regarded as 753 B.C.)

Title searches

You can focus your searches by using the intitle: parameter. Here's how:

(1) In the Wikipedia search box, type the word intitle followed by a colon, then the word or phrase you are looking for. When you click on "Search," then, you'll be presented with a list of articles that have your search term in their titles.

(2) You can also search for one word or phrase in the title and for others in the text of the articles. For example:

Query	Result
intitle:airport	All articles with airport in their titles
intitle:international airport	Articles containing the two words international and airport anywhere in their titles—which will give you a list that includes, for example, the article World's busiest airports by international passenger traffic
parking intitle:airport	Articles with parking in the text, and airport in their titles.
intitle:"international airport"	Articles containing the exact expression international airport in their titles.

An even more powerful tool for searching titles is Grep. It lets you search titles using regular expressions, and in the results it lists the titles only.
