I started editing wikis when I was about 12.
Then I stopped for a while.
Then I started again... but mostly only for this wiki.
Most pages I create or edit are for games I have personally played.

WoW Todo
- Go through the WoW F&F alpha clients. Some of them (especially the older ones) have different additional builds that were also leaked.
- Also, there's a leaked Warlords of Draenor F&F alpha client too.
- Wait for multi-file uploader to be fixed to upload the over 300 different 0.5.3 voice/sound/music clips and put them on the article.
- Might be waiting a while on that one, though.
- More items to add to the WoW Items subpage.
- Before this though need to create a template for items but I have legitimately no idea how to make them.
- There's likely more unused .m2 models to add to the models page
- Wait for the current latest model viewer to have .wmo support
- I think it does now.
- A lot more unused maps for the map page
- Should maps that were once in the data (Azshara Crater, as infamous as it is, was removed from the files sometime around WoD) be covered?
- Likely a lot more unused voice clips
- Wowpedia is a good resource to find out unused lines for bosses, but it would probably help to double check bosses and see if there's some sort of weird-ass condition for them to say it.
- Animations, especially for player characters.
- However, it will be difficult to check if they're actually unused. Many of these animations may be used for items or quests that are not immediately obvious.
- Get hold of a WoW Chinese client, because there's some pretty huge censorship (regional differences)
- Pre-release page would be fun maybe ? ? ?
- I listed a lot of resources in the section below, there's likely more interviews scattered around the net.

notes for myself, personal sandbox, most of this won't make sense if you're not me

these could probably come in handy for reference, credit to the creators (maybe add a notes page to yids and add these? idk)
kiosk demo for yoshi's island ds
These levels are not in the files of the final game. Note that these only exist in the USA demo. The USA demo is based off of an unfinished version of the game, while the EU demo is based off of a finished version.
03w1027
- This level is an early rendition of an enemy museum room for water enemies. This file is not in the final game, and is not in any crsb file.
13m5007
- This level is a version of Six-Face Sal with a testing background. It's not in the final game, and it's associated crsb file is... well, 13m5007.crsb
13w1106-15
- These nine levels are in-progress enemy museum rooms for... bosses?! They're not in the final game, and their associated crsb files are ene_check_.crsb
13w1210
- This level is an in-progress version of the enemy museum starting room. It's not in the final game, and has no associated crsb file, but would probably fit in in ene_check_.crsb, which for some reason calls upon a file that isn't in the demo (but is in the final game) for the starting room. Weird.
14w1001
- This level is an early rendition of an enemy museum room for Shy Guys. It's not in the final game and has no associated crsb file.
14w5177
- This level is a version of Big Guy the Stilted with a testing background. Looks very trippy. Not in the final game, and has no associated crsb file.
14y5313
- This level is a version of Bessie Bass with a testing background. This one actually functions differently than the boss fight in the actual game - the water rises here, making it slightly more difficult. This one is not in the final game, and it's associated crsb file is 14y5313.crsb
16w1037
- This level is another in-progress version of the water enemies room in the enemy museum. It's not in the final game, and has no associated crsb file.
other notes
wario's section of the final level has huge differences as did others but thats the one i remember the most lol
14w1027 and 14w1037 and 13m0125_3 are missing from the demo files what did these belong to?
01w1002 an enemy museum room which is in the enemy museum crsb in both versions looks really different
gilbert has a different defeat animtion
i remember the first adult bowser fight having weird animations
eggs that come out of M-blocks are glitched (or maybe only in 2-6?)
weird foreground lizard decorations that spawn in 2-7 at the end of the first area but only in the demo? check if in final
water is not transparent in demo
starry night sky level background is unfinished
some music has different instruments
gobblin has no sounds for eating eggs in the demo
the sound for switching babies is different maybe
3-3 is missing a flag on the pirate ship, is it missing in all other levels? doesnt seem like it
