Hey Katrina! : )

You may want to check if you have any telepathic skills, I was actually thinking of contacting you for a little while now, but was thinking of 23rd of May, so you actually beat me to it : D

Thank. you. very much for your appreciation and trust, I really respect that! : ) I am also aware that not much time has passed since my joining, especially given how long this Wiki existed... tho it has to be honestly said that it had very different periods and was a very different page, especially browsing back (Gamma Grove? Who needs Gamma Grove, it's not accessible! ; ). That's why I think you really did an outstanding job of bringing this Wiki to light (along with mostly Hathomirr) in the "new" era of it, since of course there has been many years and editors along the way that have their edits archived and themselves not ranked because they edited a good few years ago (like Drgyen and MoffRebus for example, and some editors with less edits, but having great quality like The Space Engineer, Chartax and DarkStar1988). And before that mid-times were the early days that needed bolder actions, starting with creation of the Wiki by Magma-Man and building the Wiki from scratch, creating hundreds of pages.

But if there has been any main driving powers of this Wiki in all of its history (with respect to everybody else, especially back in the early days) - being perfectly honest - it's you and Hathomirr : ) And I'm gradually trying to include some worthy bits and  pieces, too, hopefully joining that co-op someday ; D That means that yes, I would like to become a bureaucrat eventually, not matter how EdwardDiego'ish that sounds : D

Worry not, though. My goals are long-term, I'm thinking of editing quite actively for as long as possible, at least about a year or so (and even after that, still keep in touch and review the edits since it's really a game that I love ; to try to desribe how much...: many years ago, I finally beat S.H.O.D.A.N. in the Cyberspace playing on 3-2-3-3 and was so emotional that I literally started crying, looking probably a bit like the Hacker does in the end... the day was slowly dawning as I was trying to beat her for quite a good part of the night... so you may imagine this whole game is very special to me, and what the whole outro and the words "Old habits die hard." mean way too much than literally : ) and SS2 is a great sequel, being very different sometimes, but all in all a really, really great game.

And naturally, I do hope that both the remake and the successor will live up to its name (unlike Underworld Ascendant, which isn't that great as original UU's from what I've heard.. that made me worried ; hopefully will be proven wrong) and the fun will begin again : ) (that means we'll meet here again eventually, even if we'll make the rest of the Wiki perfect... which thankfully isn't achievable, but we may try - and actually, that's the goal : )

Coming back to what is now... There is still much to do, to edit, correct and to add, even if the material right now (at least when it comes to SS1 and SS2) is somehow finite. Sometimes the ideas spring by themselves, and sometimes I may have some slow days for some time (like the casual edit of my page to keep the streak going, and that's it), but I'll always keep in touch. While I do realize some of my edits were done in bulk (being still relevant tho), I always focus on the tip-top quality big edits (even if some aren't obvious looking at the edit size) since they have the biggest positive impact (and also make me happy, hopefully not only me : )

If there would be any big ideas that would cover the whole Wiki or most of it, I'll contact you way before doing anything, on both the Wiki and Discord. Not planning any restructuring tho, so no worries, just wanted to make it clear that there won't be any "sudden moves" when it comes to the foundations. As for the changes we've talked about, I'll gradually get to the rest of them, hopefully all of them. It's sometimes easy to get lost in the growing forest of ideas tho : )

So... once again, thank you! : ) I've thought before of some templates that needed smaller edits, I'm glad I can gradually get to them. I could actually lock those now-opened templates (if you don't mind?), since they are a bit more important as they affect a lot of pages somtimes and you're right that it's harder to track their changes (even if I'm using this page: [//shodan.fandom.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges https://shodan.fandom.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges] instead of Wiki Activity).

Have a good day, and night, and day, and night, and so on (I sure will : ) ) : )

Cheers! : )
