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~~.

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).

I also regularly keep an eye on the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]].

Currently I'm quite active.

If you have any question, you may contact me [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|on my user talk page]] or privately by using the [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Special:EmailUser/Xenwolf Wiki mail function].

If you have any question, you may contact me [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|on my user talk page (alias <span class="collapsible" style="

padding: 0.25em 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em;

border-width: 0 1px 1px;">Discussion</span>)]] or privately by using the [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Special:EmailUser/Xenwolf Wiki mail function].

As I found out, categories ~~are automatically made from tags~~. But some of the tags are not self-explanatory. Since tags are more light-weight than categories, we will probably reduce them.

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.
