Hello! I’m not the most active here, but sometimes I might edit stuff.

When I’m bored, I just find pages to add the {{Distinguish}} template to.

What I’ve been doing

Here is a link to all of the edits I’ve made so far on this account, I actually first started editing on June 6th, 2026. For contributions from all parts of Wikimedia, check here.

Stuff that I’ve created so far

Here is a list of things that I have made on Wikipedia. I’ll try my best to keep it in chronological order.

This is not everything that I have created; for an auto-generated list compiling everything I’ve made, look here.

Items followed by an asterisk are pages that were not originally created by me, but instead were redirects that I changed into something else; these are not shown on the auto-generated XTools link that I gave.

Concepts and thoughts

Here are some miscellaneous Wikipedia-related thoughts of mine. Even though this may not be the most important section of my user page, I’d probably consider it the most interesting.

Random plant generator

Here is something I made a while ago using links to Wikipedia’s search interface. I’ve nicknamed it the “random plant generator” since I couldn’t come up with anything better at the time. If used correctly, it could potentially be a very useful tool.

I have a feeling WikiProject Plants might like it, since it could potentially be a good tool for finding plant articles to expand or fix. Also, since some groups (such as orchids) are very large compared to others, I’ve not only included links for each group but also individual links for some of their largest and most notable members along with one “Other…” link that covers the smaller groups that are usually overshadowed by larger ones. For example, when you click the “Monocots” link, most of the things shown are orchids, grasses, and sometimes aroids. There is a surprising lack of diversity, which is fixed by including the “Other…” links that go over smaller groups usually missed by the random generator.

Even though these are actually internal links, they look like external ones because I didn’t know how to link them internally. You see, the generator is actually just a collection of links all leading to Wikipedia’s search interface. URL parameters allow it to return a randomized list of plant articles from any group specified by the user. However, as far as I know, Special:Search links don’t support URL parameters, thus being the reason why I can’t figure out any alternative method to create internal links out of these URLs.

Also, sorry if the icons are misleading or bad, I just tried to find already-existing Wikimedia Commons images that both worked and were recognizable.

Alternative searching

If Wikipedia somehow had more search methods, here’s some hypothetical alternative methods that could exist.

Keep in mind that these demonstrative graphics are not actually functional, very much simplified, and probably missing things that would be required for the concept to actually work.

I don’t think this one would be very easy to actually implement, but it could definitely be very useful for when you don’t know the name of a chemical compound.
