 a brief bio.  Hi lads, I've been editing Fandom for over three years now, and I'm pretty decent at editing + styling.

Toggle full bio I started out at the Clash of Clans Wiki in Fall 2015 with a few contributions here and there, but I really started editing regularly in Spring 2016 at the Clash Royale Wiki where I had a genuine interest in the game and a desire to help out the new community. With hundreds of edits every week and good moderation/editing skills, I soon became a rollback in August 2016 and an admin in December 2016.

Meanwhile, in Summer 2016, I joined the Diep.io Wiki after discovering the brand new game of diep.io and finding that there was a wiki about it, but a ramshackle one in dire need of help. What happened next was an absolute whirlstorm. By August, I became a rollback. By September, a discussion moderator. I was patiently waiting to satisfy tenure requirements for becoming a content moderator when bada bing, bada boom, in November 2016 Ursuul got tired of managing 13-year-olds and demoted everyone including himself except for six people he immediately promoted to admin with no prior experience required D:

Cue immediate drama as everyone fights, there is literally no leadership, and a sociopath or two enters the fray and several flame wars start over the questionable Staff Purge and other questionable events and my notifications are overloaded with people calling me Satan incarnate while I am trying to enjoy Thanksgiving with family :(

Luckily, after just over 3 weeks Ursuul realized how screwed everyone was without him, and he returned to save everyone from inevitable doom. As a part of this, he began culling incompetent staff members, but this time gradually and less extreme over a few weeks. In December 2016, Ursuul-senpai finally deeming me "not an incompetent child", I was finally promoted to content moderator, and only two weeks later, I became an administrator — something I hardly even dreamed of achieving and certainly didn't expect to reach as staff members were being dragged out and summarily Purged periodically. Well, it's something. :P

After the return of Ursuul and reinstatement of order, a long year of quiet progress followed as the wiki improved while the game it was about faded from the limelight. To satisfy my hunger for dumpster fire wikis, I turned to the Mope.io Wiki, a wiki filled with not enough competent users and too many users of questionable legal status on Fandom, in January 2017 and was elected sole bureaucrat in April 2017. I was excited to finally become the head of a wiki, but soon I found out directing rowdy underage users who could barely express their thoughts in sentences wasn't exactly an enviable job :\

In another side pursuit, I became an administrator on the Totally Accurate Battle Simulator Wiki in April 2017, helping to restyle the wiki and improving categorization and templates. Unfortunately, as the hype train for the game died down I lost my motivation and grew inactive, yet I had a fun time helping out others with code and shrekting a gun-loving Republican bureaucrat with my Master Deb8r skills after I was blocked. (But that's another story.)

Over Summer 2017, I finally applied to Community Council in order to make my voice heard in giving feedback about upcoming Fandom features, and was accepted in June 2017. Soon after in July 2017, I finally changed my name from SuperRobot9338 to Banarama, a long overdue change to be honest.

Back at the Diep.io Wiki, things were going well in 2017. Despite the game itself becoming more inactive, the wiki was improved with major projects, a rework of staff rights, and a new theme. In the summer, the wiki finally merged with its estranged fanon counterpart to bring in many new and active users and a vibrant community to keep the wiki going even as the game grew staler, and in the fall and winter expanded to cover the fan-made sequel Arras.io. In April 2018, after 1 year and four months of being an administrator, I was finally elected to replace Zathsu as a Bureaucrat leading the wiki alongside Ursuul.

Over this long and quiet period, I expanded once more into a plethora of wikis. Returning to my first major home wiki at the Clash Royale Wiki, I restarted an old project begun in June 2017 but back-burnered for almost a year — the Card Overviews project, an ambitious project to summarize every single card in Clash Royale. With a public announcement, I restarted the project in February 2018 to massive success. In a few months, all cards had been documented with the help of many fellow editors who answered the call for help! The project is ongoing to this day, with a tireless group of dedicated editors who ensure that the page is kept up to date with every new update.

Over Summer 2018, I occupied myself with several stylesheets on the Dev Wiki in addition to managing the Diep.io Wiki and editing on the Clash Royale Wiki, most notably BlendGlobalNav and FandomizedMasthead. These were fun little side projects, small attempts at making corners of Fandom just a bit prettier.

Also in Summer 2018, I joined the Surviv.io Wiki, another brand new wiki I wanted to help out. I became an administrator in August 2018, and a bureaucrat in October 2018. Although I have become busier recently, I'm happy to help out so many wikis across Fandom, and working on everything from categorization to templates to stylesheets to general wiki management.
