Hi there! I'm Purplemountainman. I edit Wikipedia occasionally, and I started in March 2019. I created an account when one day, I was browsing the article Android version history, and I noticed something that I wanted to fix. But, the page was protected for the people who haven't signed into Wikipedia. At that time I didn't feel like setting up an account nor giving out my IP address. Then, after half a year later, I finally decided to make an account. I used to (and still do) edit articles related to tropical cyclones (mainly the Atlantic hurricane season articles), but now I edit articles when I'm browsing through Wikipedia and see fixes I can make. I make a few mistackes ;) along the way. If I make one, please don't hesitate to correct it and tell me in the edit summary in your edit, or on my talk page. My contributions are here, and you can view the few pages I've created here. Also, if you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on my talk page!
A few topics I'm interested in are: anything related to technology (like computers, phones, and video), mathematics, tropical cyclones, and geography.

A redirect is a page that has the sole purpose to automatically redirect readers to a differently named page; to take the reader where they really wanted to go. Redirects allow a topic to have more than one title. Redirects are used for synonyms, abbreviations (initialisms), acronyms, accented terms (diacritics), misspellings, typos, nicknames (pseudonyms), scientific names, etc.
To create a redirect for the term "Oof":
Type Oof in the search box, press ↵ Enter
Click on the redlink for Oof that it presents
In the edit window that appears, type #REDIRECT [[Foo]] on the first line to make it lead to the article Foo
Redirects should be organized in to categories too. Each redirect can have up to seven redirect categories. Categories go on the third line of the redirect. (Note: Plant has a subcategory within the category of scientific name; enter plant after a pipe).
Here are two examples of a redirect category using a category template:
{{R from birth name}}
{{R from scientific name|plant}}
Preview your new redirect before saving it. Make sure:
There is a big right-facing arrow to the left of the bolded name of your target page name.
That your target page is bolded in blue (if it is red, go back and double check your target name in the edit window).
That your redirect category has rendered properly and that the boilerplate it presents makes sense.
Don't link dates or date-fragments unless there's a very good reason to do so (however, date- and year-themed articles themselves, such as January 3 and 1981, are an exception to this).
Avoid numerical date formats such as "03/04/2005" (this could refer to 3 April or March 4—who knows?).
