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 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 "[[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 [[:category:todo|todo]], ask some questions, sometimes answer questions, help with wiki syntax (also templates and modules).

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.
