My name is '''[[Appropedia:User:Chriswaterguy|Chris Watkins]]''', but that's a surprisingly common name, so I almost always go by the [[username]] '''Chriswaterguy'''. (I used to call myself '''Singkong2005''', but Chriswaterguy is more descriptive). I like to be able to [[google:Chriswaterguy OR Singkong2005|Google for my username]] – not for vanity, but to keep track of my conversations and contributions, and this wouldn't work if I used my [[WikiIndex:Real names|real name]]. | |||

I would like to see greater synergy, through {{tag|Wiki People|people}} working on the wikis that best suit them – and [[WikiIndex]] is a fantastic tool for that. I have edited [[Appropedia:WikiNode|Appropedia's WikiNode]] so it starts with links to the relevant [[Special:Categories|categories]] on WikiIndex. | |||
Now, to be more active in pursuing these aims I have started a project: see [[The Wiki Synergy Project]] for more. | |||
