The mission of this user is to improve the encyclopedia and have fun doing it. On-wiki and off-Wiki, this user is a self-taught jack of all trades, master of none.
He has no focus on Wikipedia and shies away from no topic or article, although with 6,826,568 (purge page to refresh numbers) articles on the English Wikipedia he has not even scratched the surface of the topics out there. His favorite Wikitask is helping others, for helping is the fastest way to learn. He has a thirst for knowledge and soaks things up like a sponge when immersed in them. He learns by doing, not by talking about it. If you need help, ping him and he will put his shoulder to the wheel with you.
On-wiki he is currently active in many projects with the highlights being Tip of the day, The Wikipedia Library, and Today's articles for improvement (TAFI)—which comes out weekly and is only one article. LOL. He was a double alpha tester for The Wikipedia Adventure, an early adopter of Visual Editor, and uses Flow on his talk page on meta. He was one of the first question-answerers at The Teahouse but never got invited to be or signed up as an official Teahouse host. However, the rest of the answerers pretty well have it covered and no Teahouse question goes unanswered. He has never read any documentation end-to-end on Wikipedia as it is too much to internalize. He reads snippets on a need-to-know basis. He abhors Wikilawyering. If he sees abuse on Wikipedia he will deal with it. He spends almost no time on Wikipedia noticeboards, preferring to deal with things personally. He avoids conflict but can take the heat. He has learned the most by helping and listening to female editors (or self-described females). Only a small handful have been prickly to engage with.
He has also benefited from engagements with editors with disabilities, LGBTQA editors, and COI editors. Scroll up and down this page for more of the fine points on this user's other on-Wiki involvements; you can stitch together facts displayed in the plethora of userboxes this user has posted.
The Reference desk is for questions about life, the universe, and everything (other than about Wikipedia). It's a virtual version of the reference desk at a library. Wikipedians are very knowledgeable, and if they don't know the answer, they can probably find it pretty quickly.
When you transclude a page (that is, automate the display of a page's content on another page), all its tags (like {{TOCRight}}) go with it, which will be implemented on the host page. Just add the following code if you want to add a right-aligned TOC to a page, but do not want it to be displayed on "derivative" pages:
Sometimes, it might be useful to look up a subject in the same way you would do so in a book—in the index. Wikipedia has an index. To use it—it is available at the editor's index to Wikipedia.
Although it is called an "editor's index", it is really intended to be an index for anyone involved with Wikipedia in other than the role of a reader. Most of the topics are directly relevant to editing of articles, but some topics are less directly relevant to editing.
