;Biography | |||
Solar Dragon started off working on [[wiki]]s on the [[Top Trumps Wiki]], which was originally founded on [[Editthis.info]], in [[:Category:FoundedIn2007|2007]]. After that wiki was merged into [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]], Solar Dragon started working on wikis there, eventually finding his way to [[Simpsons Wiki]]. He became an [[Sysop|admin]] on around 13 Wikia wikis, most of which he was active on. He became an admin on Wikisimpsons in [[:Category:FoundedIn2010|2010]], after only a couple of months of actively editing. | Solar Dragon started off working on [[wiki]]s on the [[Top Trumps Wiki]], which was originally founded on [[:Category:Editthis.info|EditThis.info]], in [[:Category:FoundedIn2007|2007]]. After that wiki was merged into [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]], Solar Dragon started working on wikis there, eventually finding his way to [[Simpsons Wiki]]. He became an [[Sysop|admin]] on around thirteen (13) Wikia wikis, most of which he was active on.

When Wikia released their new [[:Category:Skins|skin]], Solar Dragon listened to many complaints from [[user]]s of Wikisimpsons, and opened a discussion about [[:Category:Ex-Wikia|moving away from Wikia]]. Wikia's staff later removed his admin rights, in fear that he might harm the wiki, and later [[block]]ed him for protesting against this. He then founded the new Wikisimpsons on [[:Category:ShoutWiki|ShoutWiki]] and the wiki was moved there, with most of the active community moving along with him. | When Wikia released their new [[:Category:Skins|skin]], Solar Dragon listened to many complaints from [[user]]s of Wikisimpsons, and opened a discussion about [[:Category:Ex-Wikia|moving away from Wikia]].

After a few months on ShoutWiki, Solar Dragon was given an offer to move Wikisimpsons, to become an independent wiki. After opening up a discussion about it, it was decided that the wiki would stay on ShoutWiki. However, a few months later, a new discussion was opened, and it was decided that the wiki would become independent, with Solar Dragon becoming the 'Head Admin' on the independent Wikisimpsons. | After a few months on ShoutWiki, Solar Dragon was given an offer to move Wikisimpsons, to become an independent wiki.

After this move, Solar Dragon was offered a staff position on ShoutWiki which he accepted. He is still a staff member there, although he is inactive. Solar Dragon is also a semi-active contributor to [[Bulbapedia]]. | After this move, Solar Dragon was offered a {{tag|ShoutWiki staff|staff}} position on ShoutWiki which he accepted.

<blockquote>"I am competent with [[:Category:Wiki syntax|wiki code]] and parser functions. If you need help with templates or tables, just ask. I'm also pretty good with [[:Category:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] and have designed [[:Category:Skins|skins]] for a couple of wikis. I also have access to [[ShoutWiki:Help:Bots|bot software]]. I have both [[ShoutWiki:Help:AutoWikiBrowser|AutoWikiBrowser]] and [[ShoutWiki:Help:Pywikipediabot|Pywikipediabot]] which I can use to make mass edits to pages if you want."</blockquote> | |||
