User:Badon

I do mostly testing, bug hunting, and documentation writing. I have a particular interest in doing it for Semantic MediaWiki and related extensions, but I jump in anywhere I can. You can find my bug report list here: badon's bugs

Here's some other things I care about:


 * User:Badon/Extension:Semantic_MediaWiki/Manual
 * MediaWiki commercial support
 * WikiMedia mailing lists

Giving gifts
If you are an awesome MediaWiki helper, please put your Amazon wishlist on your user page. Note that you will not be able to stay anonymous if you do that. If you want to remain anonymous, "printable" eBay gift certificate codes can be emailed to you. If you're a recipient of help from an awesome MediWiki helper, here's where you go to get an eBay gift certificate code to show your appreciation:

Be sure to select the option:


 * I will print out the gift certificate and deliver it myself.

And then select the amount you want to give. Don't enter in anything else.

Buying stuff for people on their Amazon wishlist, and sending "printable" eBay gift certificate codes, are both anonymous for the sender too! I recommend that you stay anonymous when sending people gifts for several reasons:


 * 1) Everyone loves a mystery
 * 2) It does not create any expectations of future gift-giving
 * 3) It encourages everyone to be polite to each other, since there's no way to know who's sending the gifts and who isn't

That last one is the most important. Even if only 2 or 3 people are sending gifts, as long as they do it anonymously, it makes the MediaWiki community much more friendly for every one of the thousands of people involved.
