Hi there, my nickname is '''Xenwolf''' (in adaption of an idea of Xenjacob).

I regularly look on the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] of the wiki and am sometimes confused by some [[Xenharmonic Wiki:single editor campaigns|single editor campaigns]].

Hi there, <br>
My main field of activity is wiki gardening.


I'm currently trying to improve linking and tags, especially check for orphaned pages (pages with no other internal page linking to). Sometimes I'm replacing "here" or "click" links by meaningful titles (typically the title of the target page) to make the link easy to repair if the linked page moves (Google helps a lot with titles). I'm trying to mark things that are to do, ask some questions, sometimes answer questions, help with wiki syntax when I'm able to do so (I also like to expand [[Help:Help|help]] pages for that purpose). Currently I'm not very active, but I have at least a daily look on it.

Sometimes you can find [https://www.facebook.com/xen.wolf.14 me on facebook], but I'd prefer to talk about the wiki within the wiki.
As I found out, Wikispaces tags were converted into MediaWiki categories by the transfer process. But some of the tags are not self-explanatory. Since tags are more light-weight than categories, we will probably reduce (or transform) them.

Piano’s Darkest Secret - YouTube

Hi there,
My main field of activity is wiki gardening.

I'm trying to improve wording, linking and categories, especially to check for orphaned pages (pages with no ingoing links from other wiki pages). Sometimes I'm replacing "here" or "click" links by meaningful titles (typically the title of the target page) to make the link easy to repair if the linked page moves (Google helps a lot with titles). I'm trying to mark things that are todo, ask some questions, sometimes answer questions, help with wiki syntax (also templates and modules). I also regularly keep an eye on the recent changes. Currently I'm quite active.

If you have any question, you may contact me on my user talk page (alias Discussion) or privately by using the Wiki mail function.

As I found out, Wikispaces tags were converted into MediaWiki categories by the transfer process. But some of the tags are not self-explanatory. Since tags are more light-weight than categories, we will probably reduce (or transform) them.

Special Subpages

Some special subpage names are reserved and run (if they exist) for customizing the wiki for logged-in users, some of them are related to the actual skin being used. Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering gives you access to these pages (containing CSS, JavaScript only effective for the web interface you see).
