Kernigh at other wikis: http://kernigh.pbwiki.com/WikiNode

My username is Kernigh. I created my user account and joined these Wikia communities at 18 November 2005. From that day through today, I have modified more than twenty Wikia sites. Most of my contributions became free documentation through the GNU Free Documentation License.

I contribute mostly to Wikihack (the NetHack Wikia), but also to other wiki. I cannot actively edit many wiki simultaneously! The truth is that I have not recently changed most of those wiki that have my user pages. With this user account, I change as many or as few wiki as I prefer.

This user account



 * User:Kernigh/side provides the red-green-blue box that appears on my user pages. I manually copy this box from Central Wikia, therefore Central Wikia has the most current copy of the box.
 * The red portion of the box features the NetHack and Oberin Wikia.
 * The green portion of the box links to my Wikia user pages.
 * The blue portion of the box contains mentions MediaWiki.
 * I had a custom /monobook.css and /monobook.js. Now that Central Wikia does not use Monobook, so I do not need my customised Monobook.
 * I used Central Wikia to stash some JavaScript fragments. My /monobook.js files at NetHack Wikia and Oberin Wikia load these fragments.
 * /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. (currently does not work)
 * /wikialink.js implements Splarka's interwiki tabs. (currently does not work)
 * I also have two other user accounts, User:Kernigh sockpuppet and User:Kernigh bot.

The wiki engine
MediaWiki is a wiki engine, the thing that causes a web site to become a wiki. Installation and maintenance of MediaWiki remains difficult, thus hosting services like Wikia are so important. Because the prominent Wikipedia uses MediaWiki, some users wrongly believe that every wiki must be an encyclopedia. Some wiki, like Wikinfo, are encyclopedias; but a wiki is a web site that you can modify from a browser, and need not be an encyclopedia.

Beyond Wikia, I also edit some other wiki. I mostly use MediaWiki, MoinMoinWiki or PBwiki.
