Hi, I'm Scott. 🦍
I've been editing wikis since 2004.
I co-founded Muppet Wiki under WikiCities in 2005.
I then worked for Wikia from September 2007 to October 2011.
If you see me poking around on your favorite wiki, please say hello.

WhatLinksHere
For my eventual essay about the value of Special:WhatLinksHere: after establishing Fran Brill characters with 95 entries cultivated from the filmography we'd put together on the Fran Brill article plus some additional items from memory (via discussion with the community at Forum:Character galleries), I used WLH to find an additional 32 entries just for the voiceover section alone and another legitimate 98 characters.
To do list
- Special:LonelyPages — a lot of these can go on Dates ages
- User:Scarecroe/Miss Piggy's interaction with women
- Sandbox:Race on Sesame Street
- digitize Bert and Ernie: Soft and Loud and Things That Fly
- w:c:school:Category:Muppet Transcripts
- find the letters to CTW about Susan being a housewife which resulted in Episode 0096

url shorteners
Sometime in late 2019, Fandom began blocking url shortners from bit•ly and shorturl•at but tinyurl-DOT-com still seems to be working. However, this too may go away.
use %2E for . (dot)
video production terms
- telestrator
drawn in real time on the screen as opposed to Scanimate which was prepared and animated
described in:
- pixilation/pixilated
used in scripts to describe taping techniques like this (YouTube) or Milo Counting — seems to mean low frame-rate with quick reverse cuts
- limbo
used in scripts a lot. see Limbo set. might be worth its own article.
