Wikia - creating communities
all other wikis I edit or have edited and other useful wiki information
about me. Thankyou
- to be expanded
Hey! I'm James, or more commonly known as Chicken7. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I enjoy wiki-ing very much and look as it as a addictive hobby. I will do various things from stuff like fixing spelling or code errors to tasks like major content addons. I categorize myself as a "proper community member" meaning someone who gets involved. I welcome new users, comment on wiki issues or requests and have a chat to other users about their edits or themselves. I am an administrator on many wikis so I do tasks like deleting pages and blocking those idiotic vandals too. I also like looking at deleted revisions of articles too Thanks.
I'm not a wikia helper, etc. But I am still happy to help! If you want help with wiki stuff (from notability to coding), leave me a line; I'd love to be of your [wiki] services!

[edit] Wikis
[edit] I edit
- Runescape Wiki - A comprehensive source of information about the MMORPG, Runescape. First wiki I edited and still my home wiki. I am an administrator there.
- Banjo-Kazooie Wiki - An ever-growing encyclopedia about the Banjo-Kazooie video game series. I was there since the time when it started to actually get more users and grow. I am a bureaucrat there.
- Cities XL - Wiki about the upcoming city-building game, Cities XL. Pretty much no activity, no users, no nothing. Maybe could get it off its feet in time for the game's release.
[edit] I did edit
- Monopoly Wiki - Small but best source of information about the board game, Monopoly. I am an administrator there.
[edit] I might edit
- Australia Wiki - Very small, very inactive but could become a very comprehensive encyclopedia. Probably won't edit as most infois at Wikipedia, but still thinking.
- CHERUB Wiki - Fairly small, but I'm obsessed with the book series, so I might edit it.
[edit] Wikipedia
I also edit Wikipedia. It was my first wiki software experience. My first edit was on the 7th April, 2007.
[edit] Contributions to Wikia
My usual contributions are either administrative, factual or maintenance. Some things I do on my wikis include:
- Make large factual additions to articles, while searching the stub category.
- Obtain screenshots for articles that are lacking
- Create skins
- Design wiki logos, using screenshots and the official product's logo.
- Welcome new users
- Explaining to new users of errors if they have made them
- Warn vandals before blocking
- Blocking vandals
- Having a friendly chat with other users and admins
- Discussing major wiki changes on the localised "Village Pump"
- Implementing new templates and tools into the wiki, such as mini-profiles off other websites
- Deleting articles that are to be speedy deleted
- Increasing notability of a wiki by increasing its rank in Google, and getting it known on other fansites and forums
- Developing "affiliation" between the wiki and other fansites to increase both the wiki's and fansite's notability
- Minor edits, including wanted pages and unclosed wiki markup
- Reverting/rollbacking vandalism
- Uploading new images when updates are needed
- Requesting removal of new Wikia features that may affect the wiki negatively
- many more...
