About Me

Note: This section is out of date.

Hi, I'm Lewis Cawte. I have been using MediaWiki since March 2009, and I have a strong knowledge of wiki use, culture and that stuff. I'm quite happy to help where I can, as I speak a native level of English and some basic French. I also know HTML and CSS, but I can be a use in a lot of other areas as well. I tend to hang out at on IRC, being an ex-Wikia enthusiast. I used to run and admin a lot of sites on Wikia, before they annoyed me with their new skin among other things, and before I setup my own LAMP server, which I use to host a lot of my own MediaWiki installations. If you need to know something, I can probably tell you or point you in the right direction.

MediaWiki Sites

I Edit
  • Formerly, a lot of sites at Wikia
  • Some of the Wikimedia Foundation sites, mainly the English Wikipedia.
  • Own sites..
Sites I run
  • Epic Wiki
  • BrickPost - A free LEGO Wiki Newsletter
  • A bunch of other more personal or test wikis.

Favourite Extensions

  • Nuke - Great extension, I use it on Recipes Wikia, it makes deletion of spam and vandalism alot quicker.
  • Babel - Is a really helpful tool, saves alot of templates and is easy to use! I use it on all the sites I run.
  • GetFamily - I like the idea, its only just been fixed, but I think it still has some problems.
  • Renameuser - I tend to change my mind on my own wikis, and often rename my user accounts.
  • EditUser - I have a few wikis I run for me and some friends, and I often change say, their skin setting and then watch their reactions, it gets rather funny sometimes.
  • Interwiki - It is one of the most helpful extensions I have ever used..
