Hi there, <br>
Hi there, <br>
My nickname is '''Xenwolf''' (in adaption of an idea of Xenjacob).
My main field of activity is wiki gardening.
 
I regularly look on the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] of the wiki.  


I'm currently trying to improve linking and categories, especially to check for orphaned pages (pages with no ingoing links from other wiki pages). Sometimes I'm replacing "[[help:Here-links|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 quite active.

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 them.

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:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering gives you access to these pages (containing CSS, JavaScript only effective for the web interface you see).
