Welcome to my userpage! Most of the time I'm patrolling recent changes and reverting vandalism. I also like stopping by the Help Desk or the Teahouse to answer the occasional question (and learn from others' answers). Every now and then, when I have some free time, I get the writing bug – I've written / copyedited a few short articles, and translated them to Spanish (and viceversa).
I collaborate mostly here and in the Spanish Wikipedia, but also help combat cross-wiki vandalism and spam. I try to always assume good faith, and ask for the same in return. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding my on-wiki actions – my talkpage is only a click away
Tip of the day...
Explaining Wiki markup to other users
The <nowiki> tag is used to suppress the interpretation of Wiki markup. This is often useful to demonstrate or explain Wiki markup language to another user.
Wiki markup (and Wiki tags that resemble HTML tags) that are placed between <nowiki> and </nowiki> are not interpreted, and are displayed on the page just the way they are typed. For example, [[this]] would ordinarily form a wikilink, but since it is placed between <nowiki> and </nowiki>, like this: <nowiki>[[this]]</nowiki>, no such link is formed. This is rarely of use in an actual Wikipedia article.
The <nowiki> tag is helpful, for example, when asking questions at the Teahouse and explaining issues at the Village Pump as well as on an article's Talk page. In this case 'the markup code' can be displayed without being actionable.
