Oh hi there, didn't expect to see you here, after all, I'm really not that interesting imo. Want some oreos? What kind of tunes should I play? Nothing? Fine, I'll choose something myself .w.

(please play the song as you read this)



Anyways, I'm your everyday all-purpose bureaucrat, so I can usually be seen doing various tasks, from Mediawiki to proofreading articles and categorizing to discussion forum checking. So, if you ever need help with anything at all, or just need to speak to me, don't hesitate at all to ask in my message wall, on Discord(Kindness Aj#9728) or on my Twitter for I'll be inclined to know the answer. I've been in the Glitchtale fandom for over 3 years and have been administrating this wiki for more than two.

So far, my goals here are:
 * 1) To ensure the wiki is an accurate and reliable source to depend on
 * 2) Everyone is happy and satisfied
 * 3) Things run smoothly
 * 4) It's updated constantly
 * 5) Everyone's following the Rules and Guidelines set in place
 * 6) Etc.

General FaQ
As you may expect, this is a general FaQ meant for anyone.

Hi! I'm new and I don't know where to start or what to do, may you please help me?
Sure! First things first please make sure to read the rules and guidelines before you do anything.

Though if you ever want to begin and edit a page or create one, then please make sure to read the Manual of style and the page organization before you do so. Yet, assuming you've read all of those, all you need to do to make an edit is click the edit button which is usually located on the top right of a page. There, you will be able to edit most of a page. If you want to create a page, then one of the several ways you can do this is by clicking the icon that looks like a page and is located right next to the page count.

On the other hand, if you ever want to meet the rest of our community, you can do so by either heading over to the Discussion Feed, or to the Recent Blog Post area. There you can make blog posts, polls, or comment on one yourself and just have a good time. Though, it is important to note that if you decide to view the Discussions Feed to read the Guidelines for it. They can be viewed if you're on the desktop by pressing the button to the left when you first enter that says "Guidelines". But, if you're on mobile and are viewing it via a browser, it is located by pressing the arrow button that is labeled "MORE" and then after pressing the button labeled "Guidelines".

Oh, I see, though on another note, is there any "crash course" I can read about? I haven't seen the show in a bit and I need a reminder.
Though I highly recommend you re-watching the series first, if you ever need a recap on the series and don't want to re-watch it, I advise you to read our Episode pages. But, if that seems too time-consuming and you want to recap even faster, then the Glitchtale Timeline page is the way to go, as this page will not only explain several of the series's mechanics but has a shortened summary on each episode.

What is this.. "Classic Editor" option that you get when you press the arrow next to the edit button and choose that?
This is, as the name entails, the classic editor that will remain the same for any FANDOM wiki you visit. It allows you to edit articles either via the Source Mode or the Visual Editor. Both options allow for even more complexity in what you're editing as you'll be able to do things such as edit infoboxes in this mode, though it can be quite complicated and hard to grasp for most first time users. So concisely, in visual mode, you will get the same result of what you see in the editor (WYSIWYG method), and in source code, you will see the source or coded form of the wiki written in MediaWiki language and you can know about it in-depth by reading this manual.

What does a Glitchtale Wiki Administrator/Sysops do?
This highly depends on the administrator in question and tends to vary a lot, as the part can also be based on their areas of expertise, thus I cannot give you a single response. Though I can say some of our past admins have been keener towards our MediaWiki code, whilst others have chosen to stick on doing tasks based on caring for our articles.

Can I be a Content Moderator?

 * 1) Asking will lower your chances.
 * 2) This requires you to have meaningful edits, no matter who you are.

Who else can I contact if I cannot contact you?
Though practically impossible, if this ever were somehow the case, I recommend you to contact either Acme Gamer, or Shearvo for assistance.

What do you want to be when you're older?
I aspire to be a pediatric surgeon and have done a lot of extracurricular work outside of school to pursue the medical field. After all, I had always wanted to be a doctor since I was very small, and even now that ambition has yet to change. Furthermore, I am an extremely curious person when it comes to science, and am even a year ahead of my peers as a result. This, of course, doesn't mean that I'll know all blood vessels and chambers to the human heart, as I'm not a medical student yet and haven't learned medicine, but I will, of course, occasionally say a random science fact or two in an ironic situation(though I sometimes don't know how I know these things myself). Either way, I don't plan on being deterred from this, and no matter the obstacle in my way, I will ensure that this becomes my future profession.

What are your top 5 favorite videogames?
My top 5 favorite videogames for the most part have to be Minecraft, Undertale(shouldn't come to a surprise), Leauge of Legends, Celeste, and Hollow Knight. After all, Minecraft allows for you to pretty much do anything as the sky's the limit there, you can one day decide to do one thing and then decide the next day to do another. Yet in Undertale, you fell into the underground and go one of three routes which give quite a deep plot that even now sometimes isn't fully understood, always allowing for different theories and interpretations of things by the fandom. Meanwhile, there are over 148 characters to choose to play as in Leauge Of Legends and 5 roles to choose from as you fight the other team for control and try to destroy their Nexus in its normal mode which is quite fun.

Then, there's Celeste, a game of a girl named Madeline who does the dangerous climb of Mt. Celeste, only to be stopped by her inner self many times along the way, which has such an incredible plot and ridiculously hard gameplay that I have yet to finish because I managed to get my switch to drift because of it(that means I highly recommend it). Finally, there's Hollow Knight, which in my opinion gives you a lot of ground to cover, a lot of characters to interact with, and many hours to spend playing it.

Favorite food?
Well, my favorite food overall has to be Ichiraku soup, followed by California roll sushi. Now, if you're talking about my favorite snack, that has to be Oreos, yet if you tell me my favorite dessert I'd have no idea as I like a few too many different types of delicious desserts. They all just taste so delicious imo, but Ichiraku soup is the best because of its flavor which is a good blend of many things along with umami making it amazing.

Other than the wiki, which hobby do you enjoy the most?
Well, this seems like quite the hard one, but if I really had to choose, I believe it'd be art. Because even though I don't get many chances to draw as of now, I tend to enjoy just picking up a pencil, pen, marker, etc. and drawing whatever my heart desires. I guess I don't really have a reason why I like it so much, but it's just a really fun thing to do, even if it doesn't get much attention.

Have you ever tried storytelling/writing? I mean it'd only make sense if you did a bit... Right..?
I mean, writing wiki articles does count... right..?

nervous laughter

I don't really write my own stories often, though I do have a few short stories crumbled up somewhere that my teachers have said are good..?

(god I really need to remember to try writing one of these days)

Trivia

 * I enjoy music from all genres, except for rap and rock(but even then, I do like a few rock songs that aren't too intense)
 * When working on things my preference gravitates towards Jazz and Swing/Electro Swing, though I also enjoy listening to piano and violin music during those times.
 * When I'm playing a video game I'd usually tune-up either my entire playlist or my happy playlist
 * This used to be a common thing for me to do, but recently games have been lagging a lot for me when I have other things open as well, so that's stopped for now.
 * My entire music playlist is 16 hours long as it's a collection of all the music that I've listened and liked within the past 4 years
 * I'm ace
 * I've gone to New York Comic Con and am planning on heading to it this year if the coronavirus doesn't cancel it
 * I have awful luck.
 * This is well shown this one time that I had been on discord and messing with a bot and a couple of people. You see at the time they were playing a game that "measured intelligence" despite it being completely random, as the lower number you got from a bot the smarter you were. All you had to do was type the command and the bot will give you a completely random number from 1 to 100. At the time a couple of people had already done this and a few have even spammed the bot command to get the lowest number of 1, and have moved on with their lives, having proven their points. And, at most, it took a person 60-70 tries in the bot spamming channel. So, I decided to try and spam the command as well to get a 1 since I had some time in my hands, I really didn't mind, it wasn't against the rules, and didn't think it'd take any more than a few digits above 100 at most statistically speaking. Which I was extremely wrong with at the time. Because, 60 tries later and I hadn't gotten the number, so I thought "Eh, I'll get it in a few more tries". Then, 100 tries later I still hadn't gotten the number and thought "Huh, maybe I'll get it after a few more tries because statistically speaking I should be guaranteed..?"(no kindness, you're not). Heck, 200 tries later(someone had done the same thing which didn't take them much time) and I still hadn't gotten the number myself. But thankfully, 314 tries later I'd finally gotten a 1, which everyone found quite hilarious at the time.

So, if you ever need someone to make a lucky roll for you, never count on meh lmao, it'll be more likely that I give you the worst possible number.


 * That aside, I really enjoy writing the wiki articles
 * Which, I know isn't much of a surprise since I'm a wiki admin, but it's true. Heck, I'm the one who wrote all of the episode summaries in the Glitchtale Timeline, it's really not that tedious in my eyes and its pretty fun :D
 * I enjoy oreos a tad too much if it isn't apparent enough already, and if you ever ask nicely in the Glitchtale Wiki Discord, I'll roleplay summon oreo rain for you .w.
 * I have many hobbies other than wiki IRL, such as drawing, playing music, photography, swimming(when it's warm enough during the summer here in New York) and many more.

so yeh.
