The section 401k match would also be useful in Prioritizing investments. If it's intended for Thrift Savings Plan, consider making this a template for insertion in both pages. I don't know your intentions, or if there is more to do here. --LadyGeek 20:10, 14 December 2014 (CST)

LadyGeek, thanks for your note. I'm intending to do just that. I started writing that blurb to help answer a question in the forum and it grew from there....I'll try to make what I wrote be applicable to 401(k), 403(b), etc. --Hoppy08520 13:55, 15 December 2014 (CST)


 * First, I retitled (moved) your user sub-pages for clarity. You can also do this, which is the "Move" drop-down entry to the left of the wiki's search box.


 * Next, User:Hoppy08520/Employer matching contributions looks like it's good enough to be a stand-alone page. Prioritizing investments and Thrift Savings Plan (and others) can then refer to this page for the full details.


 * I thought the 401k match would be better here, so I incorporated it into the page. If you want to incorporate User:Hoppy08520/Employer matching contributions into other pages, you can use the wiki's, tags to simply include the page and only the desired section will appear. It's an alternative to using templates, but might be more complicated to think about. OTOH, replacing it with a template, especially if you want to use only this section in other pages, would be a good approach.


 * If you disagree with what I did, just undo the changes.


 * To move a user page to the "main" area, just move the page and select (main) from the drop-down box. The Hoppy08520: part will disappear.

 * ✅ I have moved the User:Employer matching contributions page to a standalone page. I have added sections on the Roth 401(k) and on SIMPLE IRAs, along with a link to a matching contributions calculator; also added a navigation template and category. --Blbarnitz 09:40, 18 December 2014 (CST)


 * Thank you LadyGeek and Blbarnitz. I am a starter but not always a reliable finisher. I kept meaning to do that but kept forgetting. Thank you. --Hoppy08520 09:04, 23 December 2014 (CST)

I don't understand your comment starting with "I'm finding that I wish I could see this hidden category..." Can you please supply an example, or try explaining the idea in a different manner? Are you referring to the use of categories in a User page (what this is)? --LadyGeek 15:34, 7 April 2015 (CDT)
