My name

edit

My name comes from a shortened version of my real name, Winston, and then "Mei", which was a close online friend that I had who disappeared after her high school friends turned against her about 3 years ago. Subsequently she deleted all her online accounts and any trace of online presence. I haven't been able to ever reconnect with her, so my username is dedicated to Mei.

I just got back to editing Wikipedia and am not familiar with all the policies and stuff yet. So, please do contact me on my talk page if there is an issue (for example I know I incorrectly marked a few edits as minor after reading Help:Minor edit. Additionally, if you've reverted one of my edits, a reason so I can improve in the future is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

todos for 2022

- pick a good topic; make an article on it (or expand the current stub for it); nurse it to good health i.e did you know -> GA -> featured (yes this is very ambitious) - expand Choux pastry (my other fun project for this year)

 
Power-editing with AutoWikiBrowser

Guess what the power users of Wikipedia use to edit...

The AutoWikiBrowser (AWB), of course.

AWB is a semi-automatic Wikipedia editor. It works on lists (batches) of pages, automatically edits the first page the way you specify, and then takes you to the next page once you approve the changes to the current page. It has powerful features. It can even run an external script, regex (regular expression) on each page it processes.

In order to use AWB, you must either be an experienced editor with over 500 edits, or a Wikipedia administrator.

AWB is very useful and helps perform repetitive WikiGnome tasks very quickly, like stubs sorting, substituting templates, and searching/replacing.

For on-the-fly general discussion and support requests for AWB, try the AWB IRC channel: #AutoWikiBrowser connect
