Hello, I am Kernigh, editor of several Wikia. I prefer to use the GNU Free Documentation License.

What is happening here?
 * I have user pages on at least 20 Wikia, more than I originally intended. While I often visit Wikihack (the NetHack Wikia), I often am only a minor contributor to other wiki. I cannot be very active on 15 wiki simultaneously!

What other wiki do I edit?
 * Like many editors around here, I had my start at Wikimedia. These days, I mostly use MediaWiki, MoinMoinWiki or PBwiki.

What is MediaWiki?
 * MediaWiki is a wiki engine for web servers. MediaWiki is difficult to install well, so this makes hosting services such as Wikia so important.

Every wiki is an encyclopedia?
 * No, a wiki is a web site that you can edit, and need not be an encyclopedia. I have worked on the encyclopedias LOTR and Wikinfo, though. Some other wiki, like the NetHack Wikia, contain both encyclopedic information and other content.

The red-green-blue box
My Wikia user pages have a red-green-blue box. I manually copy User:Kernigh/side from Central Wikia to each Wikia, so this page has the most current copy of the box.
 * The red portion of the box highlights the NetHack and Oberin Wikia.
 * The green portion of the box links to my other Wikia user pages.
 * The blue portion of the box contains highlights MediaWiki.



CSS/JS playground
I have installed monobook.css and monobook.js files onto my user pages at Central, Gameinfo, NetHack and Oberin Wikia and at RogueBasin.


 * /monobook.css
 * /monobook.js
 * /sysop.js moves the "protect" and "delete" tabs to the toolbox, so they do not waste so much room.
 * /tagline.js adds search and backlinks to tagline.
 * /wikialink.js implements Splarka's interwiki tabs.
