User:Xenwolf
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.

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).
