The majority of my work involves the development and maintenance of wiki tools. I also work as a research scientist at the Wikimedia Foundation (as User:Halfak (WMF)). All of my research, whether staff or volunteer, ends up in the m:Research:Index. I also like to Wikipedia articles relating to computer science, mycology, psychology and philosophy.
Other accounts
I own and use User:PermaNoob, User:GLTester and User:Wiki labeler for testing user scripts. I only use those accounts to perform test edits or to test new interface modifications. Edits I perform as a WMF staff member mostly occur through User:Halfak (WMF). All of my work on the wiki comes from this account.

The Snuggle tool looks like a great concept. Thanks for working on this! Pine✉ 08:55, 21 December 2012 (UTC) |
