Hi, My name is Ed. Retired from the Navy and from aerospace engineering. I have been "dabbling" with the pages of book authors that I have in my home library collection. I use the Library of Congress, Abebooks, Amazon, publisher sites and anything else that comes to mind for correct information. I am a total novice at this but enjoy the clean-up and creation activity. In particular, I have been listing ISBN's for initial book releases. This information is important to book collectors in locating 1st editions. Software is available to load a large amount of data into a database with a simple hand scanner. So, I am trying to learn more about cataloging books. Spent a ton of time correcting "invalid ISBN's". Great experience in dealing with a wide range of subject matter.
Special:MyPage is a special link that is dynamically linked to the current user's userpage. So, whoever clicks on it will be taken to their own user page.
If you add a subpage to the link, then only you will be taken to your subpage of that name. Other users will be taken to the subpage of that name in their namespace (if it exists).
This makes the link "private" by only letting the correct user get to the page via that link. Other users will diverted to their own userspace.
The code [[Special:MyPage/To-do list|To-do list]] creates this: To-do list.
However, this only makes the link private, not the page itself. Others can still get to it via the search box or by creating a new link with its entire title.
