==Background Experience==

I first made a wiki edit circa 2009 on WoWWiki, 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, 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). Please do not ask me about how to create something "under the hood".
