Welcome to my userpage! Most of the time I'm patrolling recent changes and reverting vandalism. I also like stopping by the Help Desk or the Teahouse to answer the occasional question (and learn from others' answers). Every now and then, when I have some free time, I get the writing bug – I've written / copyedited a few short articles, and translated them to Spanish (and viceversa).

I collaborate mostly here and in the Spanish Wikipedia, but also help combat cross-wiki vandalism and spam. I try to always assume good faith, and ask for the same in return. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding my on-wiki actions – my talkpage is only a click away

Tip of the day... Transclusion vs. Substitution There are two main ways to use templates on articles: Transclusion – also called "inclusion", and accomplished by using {{Template Name}} Substitution – notated like this {{subst:Template Name}} Transclusion will include the content of Template Name on the fly whenever the article is loaded, while the latter will permanently insert the content of the template into the article. With substitution, even if the template content is modified at a later date, the article's content will not change. Substitution is the preferred method for long-term, permanent notices because it is less confusing, and it even helps to lighten the load on the database. Substitution has the further advantage in that a template's content may be de-linked from any associated category or slightly modified to suit the circumstances, such as when the template is used on a talk page. Transclusion is preferred for displaying material that is normally updated, that way, all the places it appears are updated in a single operation.
