	I first made a wiki edit circa 2009 on WoWWiki under the user name Sheela_2 (later changed to Alayea), but largely limited myself to correcting spelling, grammar, and punctuation. After the Great Fork of 2010, when the administrators and community at large voted to leave Wikia and form Wowpedia (and then the same thing again in 2023 to become Warcraft Wiki), I became somewhat more involved in things such as removing and/or updating old information on article pages for in-game items and class abilities. I didn't really hit my stride until the alpha for ''World of WarCraft: Legion'', upon which I expanded into creating pages for quests, items, submitting in-game screenshots, documenting undocumented changes, and more. (If you were a fellow WoW player and relied on the Class Campaign quest pages from that expansion, that was me that did around 85% of the work for all the then-existing twelve classes. And yes, it was oft-times tedious and a learning experience.)

	My technical knowledge of the inner-workings of a wiki are essentially non-existent, however. I largely rely on pre-existing templates that have helpful how-to descriptions. Where none exists, I may simply copy-paste from a similar article page and adjust accordingly (e.g. creating a sortable table list).

	After having played since 2004, I have chosen to not renew my World of WarCraft subscription due to Blizzard Entertainment's treatment of players such as myself regarding what our support group has come to call the "Great Blizzard Bank Heist". What happened was that when Patch 11.0.2 was released on August 13, 2024, a bug caused the contents of one's guild bank(s) to go missing to varying degrees of severity (up to ''everything''). This issue was reported both using the in-game support and the Bug Report forum. The only official acknowledgement of the problem was a rather obscure support article that was created on August 17.

After the Great Fork of 2010, when the administrators and community at large voted to leave Wikia and form Wowpedia (and then the same thing again in 2023 to become Warcraft Wiki), I became somewhat more involved in things such as removing and/or updating old information on article pages for in-game items and class abilities. I didn't really hit my stride until the alpha for ''World of WarCraft: Legion'', upon which I expanded into creating pages for quests, items, submitting in-game screenshots, documenting undocumented changes, and more.
