Blog:My Wiki-versary: TigerBlazer's 1st Anniversary of Joining Miraheze

Well, it's official. Today, December 15th, 2021, marks exactly 1 year since I created my Miraheze account on this game day in 2020 and officially became a member of Qualitipedia. Gosh, for some strange reason, it still feels like I have been here for a very short time. As if I had joined just yesterday. It's pretty amazing how a whole year can pass by so fast.

I have a lot to say right now as I reflect my one year here. When I first created my account, I seriously never excepted anything that I became or got involved with would ever happen. I wanted to make a few edits, maybe a page or two, and most likely move on with my life and forget about them. Well oh boy was I wrong on that. I got the complete opposite of what I expected, and maybe what I wanted at the time. Now I have a lot of responsibilities on these wikis since I became admin on 8 wikis, made 7 featured pages, got involved in a lot of serious situations, but most importantly, I made so many friendships here that it would be incredibly hard for me to even consider leaving these wikis anymore. And that means a lot considering that I felt like leaving a few times. But now, I think of these wikis as a second home. Where I can actually be respected for what I like and a place where I actually feel important when I am pretty much a nobody in the real world.

I went through a lot this past year. I think I want to look back on that for old times sake.
 * Best Friends Forever: While she will be gone temporarily, both me and King Dice consider each other to be our best friends, and had been on incredibly good terms since I helped her with her first page. Once I got the Discord, we would chat daily for hours and watch shows and movies together in calls. I really miss her right now, but at least she will come back some day.
 * Over-achiever: Before writing pages nowadays, I ask other admins for advice on how a page looks, and I usually add a bit more information than what is actually necessary.
 * Mentor & Friend: The main reason I still write pages today is because of Allistayrian's guidance in the quality control era, as his help allowed me to improve upon myself with each new page I made.
 * Collateral Damage: Two instances: The Rotten Websites coup and the Character Wikis controversy, both of which had large effects on the wikis as a whole.
 * I Have No Life: I go on these wikis to see what is going on every day no matter the circumstances, and if I do need to take time off I tell everyone ahead of time.
 * Breaking Boundaries: I'm starting to become active on the Miraheze Meta nowadays, and I have also created accounts on Discord, FANDOM, Ultima Codex Wiki, and ShoutWiki to expand my scope of work.

What I really want to say is, thank you all for the journey, and I can't wait for another year ahead.



I love you guys :3 -TigerBlazer
