Community Connect

Nightsilver (previously known as SilverFlight) is a user and Fandom star.

Bio[]

She discovered Wikia back in 2012 at a point when pop-culture was at her peak interest. Deciding to indulge her animated movie interest, she journeyed to the fledgeling Disney Wiki; initially she wanted to learn more about her favorite series, although she was gradually compelled to share her trivia knowledge and decided to help the wiki as an extra hand. As an artist, she was the main stylist behind the wiki skins, which would lend itself to her developing CSS skills in the next several years. Her primary goals were to improve content and make it reliable, but after getting to know the community, she would see that users looking after each other was vital for synergy and collaboration. Thus, she made it her goal to help users and wikis evolve into productive, inclusive fandom environments. Working in a larger group taught her how to work with others, and over the years, she joined various groups, including the now-defunct Wikia Stars and Council.

In 2019, she became a Wiki Manager (the then-title for Wiki Representative) for the Movies/TV vertical in order to provide assistance in building other communities. In 2020, she left her home wiki and became a vagabond editor for several sub-Disney wikis and related wikis of interest. Since then, she has met many people on the Fandom platform she is grateful to have known, and many in return she has become good friends with.

Nightsilver attended her first live Fandom appearance at Community Connect 2022, and again in Community Connect 2023.

Trivia[]

  • She loves marine biology and herpetology, having studied it previously. Aquatic reptiles are a major topic she enjoys talking about. Ironically, Jurassic Park terrified her when she was younger.
  • Possibly because of living in the Northeast, she has a large sweater collection, and as such will wear one in warm weather.
  • Her previous username was made on the spot, as silver is one of her favorite colors. She changed it in 2021 to reflect her current professional lifestyle.
  • She is a mythology buff. Due to this, fiction that portrays myths inaccurately is a huge peeve for her.
  • She has a ton of cartoon fandoms thanks to an impressive memory, but will not remember all of them immediately off-hand.
    • One of her favorite movies is Coco because it surprises her cat, Coco, to hear his name whenever they watch together.
  • Her favorite parts of editing wikis are designing themes (CSS, wallpapers, infoboxes, etc.), fiddling with wikitext and templates, tailoring articles with the necessary template and page syntax, and patrolling pages for fact double-checking.
