My name is Tavix and I've been helping to build this Encyclopedia since 2007. I consider myself a "navigational gnome," as I prefer to focus on areas that help improve navigation, such as working with redirects, disambiguations, hatnotes, and set indices. I'm also interested in helping out with articles related to sports, natural events, and anything else that I come across that could use improvement. I've listed my projects and major contributions below to help keep track of what I've been up to:

Wisdom[edit]
"Making sure redirects are informative and functional takes work, but our readers are worth it."
