From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your average nerdy video game enthusiast, software developer, metal fan, rollercoaster enthusiast and The Simpsons specialist. I wish there was more to it than that...


On a mission to add descriptive, concise and formatted/templated Article Descriptions to, well, everything.

Not new to Wikipedia, but deciding to start again and enjoy the hobby and casual side of editing and not get sucked into the giant wikihole (again).

Know something interesting? Feel free to leave me a random fact on my Talk page - I'm trying to collect as many random facts as possible so I can impress everyone at the bar whilst I check my phone in the bathroom.




Shortdesc Templates

[edit]

If these are used enough I might one day turn them into actual templates, but seems excessive. For now, these are just the standardised way of formatting the article descriptions based on the articles I add or edit:
