I, EpcotMagic, started volunteering on wikiHow on February 6, 2011 as Byankno1 when I searched "how-to" on my Internet Explorer's StumbleUpon toolbar. Upon encountering the extensive collection of articles here, I knew I had to stick around, as I had so much knowledge I could teach others to make this site accurate and readable.

I got hooked within two weeks as I learned the wealth of wikiHow's database of categories. I tried many Community Dashboard tools, but when I expanded and split an article, I knew my end was nowhere to be seen. I made my first mistake, but learned quickly from previous wiki knowledge elsewhere. I asked several Admins and Staff for knowledge on fixing up mistakes I made, and never looked back once!

• I'm now seen as one of wikiHow's wikiGnomes, flying under wikiHow's radar in our scripts, pages, and tools. I've used Double Redirects, Wanted Pages, Wanted Files, Wanted Templates, and Wanted Categories - to the point that I like to clear out large backlogs.
• I ensure that every wikiHow editor has access to the available template documentation outlining in easily identifiable locations, and when I came to and noticed other scripts' glaring issues with missing templates from those pages, I knew I had help out there to include most of them to ensure all know what presently works here!
• I collaborate in creating new articles. I'm good at using action verbs in our Steps formatting and have started 1,408 while writing about various topics that can change at a moment's notice.
• I've created substantial amounts of new UIBs, with several other people who have done the same and reused mine.
• I've created several Projects, from a screenshot editing project (created in 2013) to a UIB-fixing project (created in 2022 and ongoing).
• I still use the Community Dashboard tools, but I can rarely be spotted because I wander around.
• I like to find and report (on wikiHow's forums) the front-end bugs. However, I try to find out the reason why and/or a workaround before reporting.

I passed the New Article Boost test on February 4, 2013, and enjoy it. I tend to demote the real "winners", but very few have been promoted by me - boosting over 9,516 articles, while using my rights to help move titles (as necessary) and help process requested topics to merging and tackling other large backlogs as necessary.

In 2024, I obtained access to QnA Patrol. However, I got discouraged and asked to be removed from it. But once the discouragement stopped and was fixed with updates to speed up the process and clear out the "real jokey winners," through automation in February 2025, I reobtained the rights and helped clear out most of the QnA Patrol tool's queue and haven't looked back.

• If you feel you want to see just what I've done in the past, feel free to here, but please don't ask what my upcoming plans are, because I do things as the pieces fall into place.
• I promise to keep my edits quality-centered. If you see something that's awkward, please make sure that I know about it, because I might have mistakenly done something to cause it that I may not be aware of from my sometimes small screen in my hand with big fingers.
• I've reached over 100,000 edits here. I'm good with policies, so if you have questions, feel free to reach out because I'm also good with communicating back. What I don't know or have forgotten, I will ask. I have friends and those I can trust, and if I know my friends don't understand, I will ask until I find someone who can answer me with the knowledge to provide ample answers.
• If you have any other questions, please feel free to post on my Talk page or send me a private message using the web-based email form. Either way, I will reach out to answer your question to resolve the issue.
