About me
Hello, I joined Wikia in August, 2010. I'm knowledgeable and am a fan of Doctor Who, Forgotten Realms, and Star Trek. Relevant to writing and editing here, I write fiction, enjoy play-by-post role-playing, I've written a whole damn thesis, and now work as a technical editor of scientific papers.

I'm a Forgotten Realms Wiki administrator and bureaucrat, focusing on tidying things up, copy-editing and rehabilitating pages, and hacking up code and templates. I'm also master of the UnseenServantBot for automated edits.

My projects: Steadily being moved to User:BadCatMan/Projects

Content: In no particular order, special projects of mine, things that pertain to my games, or topic I've been curious about or decided to complete while polishing a page.
 * The Vast: Procampur and everything else you could know about it. Just Tantras to go. I won't be covering Ravens Bluff or Brikklext at this stage.
 * Wheloon — complete!
 * Seven Suns Trading Coster
 * Larloch, Warlock's Crypt, and so on.
 * The Order of St. Dionysus
 * Dungeon magazine 75, "Into the Nest of Vipers" — complete!
 * Realms of Valor, "Patronage", "Dark Mirror"
 * Comics: "The Gathering" onwards
 * Ilbratha
 * Stuff that pertains to my games.
 * Lots of related and other stuff, including rewrites of copied articles.

Wiki work:
 * The Main Page
 * Template:DidYouKnow — a weekly "Did you know...?" feature for the main page, featuring Realmslore from new articles.
 * Template:Featured article and Template:Featured source — for recording and presenting featured articles on the main page.
 * User:BadCatMan/Featured image — for presenting featured images on the main page. Became Template:Featured image with User:Moviesign.
 * Template:Item — Updated with edition-specific and other parameters.
 * Overhauling and updating the help pages (begun).
 * General clean-up, maintenance, and technical editing of articles.

Current and Ongoing: I'm currently trying to work through some remaining notes of old projects, to get some stuff finished up before embarking on new things.
 * Tantras: still need to cover Tantras (novel) and Tantras (adventure).
 * Finish indexing Darkwalker on Moonshae
