I am a very enthusiastic reader of Wikipedia, who can waste hours upon hours learning things here, but I am only occasionally an editor. I also maintain my own wiki running mediawiki software, and thus have some knowledge of the inner-workings of the software-- with special interest in:

  • Advanced wiki spam filtering using the $wgCallBack interface
  • Static mirroring of wiki content (using httrack)
