User:Xenwolf

de en es dev

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

I regularly look on the 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 "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 pages for that purpose). 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 them.

Tools

• Chat --- sometimes I tried it (but very few people there)
• Special:Version · Special:Statistics · Orphaned pages
• Special:NewPages -- checking pages out of scope from Special:RecentChanges
• Special:LinkSearch -- locate this tool on Special:SpecialPages
• Recent changes - Xenharmonic Wiki
• Extension:Regex Fun - MediaWiki
• Extension:ParserFunctions - MediaWiki
• Not yet installed: Extension:SyntaxHighlight - MediaWiki ← This Wiki-Extension is extremely useful and bombproof, in Wikipedia it has been a quasi integral part for years.

Special Subpages

Some special subpage names are reserved and run (if they exist) for customizing the wiki for logged-in users, they are related to the actual skin being used.

Skin	CSS	JavaScript
Vector (default skin)	User:Xenwolf/vector.css	User:Xenwolf/vector.js
Shared (for all skins)	User:Xenwolf/common.css	User:Xenwolf/common.js

• For your own user-specific styling, see Special:Preferences #mw-prefsection-rendering, the custom files are listed after the available skin!
• Per-user JavaScript is available in the XenWiki. If it is, a source of useful examples and suggestions could be found in: Wikipedia:User scripts - Wikipedia.
• Extension:Gadgets - MediaWiki -- maybe an alternative to enabling user scripts?
• Per-user CSS is combined with site CSS
