Yug

Yug is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon.

Yug has been experiencing significant stress that may affect their ability to work on Wikipedia. They may choose to work in quieter areas and avoid complicated tasks or areas prone to conflict. They may also respond to talk page or email messages more slowly than usual, and your patience is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I'm Yug.

I periodically perform intense 3 months sprint on various issue, please forgive my over enthusiasm when doing so.

The table above has links to various tutorials and resources which can help in the creation of Wikipedia maps from digital georeferenced data (GIS).

Life Long Learning of Wikipedia rules

WP:NOR, WP:SYNTH, WP:MEDRS.

Useful stuff

Visual layout of the MediaWiki database schema, I use this one a lot
