<span style=color:#CC3299>Greetings.</span>
I am '''Jack Phoenix''', one of the many [[mw:Developers|MediaWiki developers]] and an open source enthusiast.<br>Feel free to visit my [[mw:User:Jack Phoenix|user page on MediaWiki.org]] if you're interested in my technical contributions and skills. These days I maintain the [[mw:social tools|social tools]] family of MediaWiki extensions, as well as [[mw:User:Jack Phoenix/extensions|some other extensions and skins]].
Open source has always been my passion, especially when it comes to MediaWiki. As such, I contributed significantly to the open-sourcing of [[Wikia]], [[ArmchairGM]] and [[wikiHow]]. ArmchairGM has been long dead but its legacy lives on as the aforementioned social tools family of MediaWiki extensions, and neither Wikia nor wikiHow make their source code fully publicly available anymore as of 2021 (Wikia's "Unified Community Platform" (UCP) software, based on MediaWiki 1.33, is not open source and wikiHow closed down their self-serve open source portal in late November 2020.) Nowadays I mostly edit [[ShoutWiki]] wikis and help out on {{tag|ShoutWiki staff|ShoutWiki}}, given that I'm a member of [[shoutwiki:Customer_Support_TeamShoutWiki staff|ShoutWiki's Customer Support Teamstaff team]]. If you're looking to create a new wiki for free, why not to give [http://www.shoutwiki.com/ ShoutWiki] a try?
Please leave me a message on my [https://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Jack_Phoenix&action=edit§ion=new talk page] if you need any help.
