Hi, I'm Mullafacation (/ˌmʊləfəːˈkeɪʃən/, from "multiplication") I edit random articles I find on Wikipedia. For the most part, I don't introduce new information to articles and instead just move things around the place.
I have never really used my watchlist or been an active member of any WikiProjects. Editing is not usually an organised hobby I have but more of an unfortunate ailment. I am only slightly aware of what goes on in the community and if I join an open discussion that is relevant to me, it is probably a lucky accident that I saw it when I did.[1]
I keep typing in the URL for Wikipedia articles rather than using the Search tool so I end up creating loads of redirect pages. Because I fixate on the first thing I see, I am interested in symbols, flags, grammar, articles' stylistic choices and all of the other things that don't involve actually comprehending text.
The only actual mainspace article I have ever created was about the 2022–present Irish anti-immigration protests. I have no particular interest in them and indiscriminately dumped information from the media. You may think that I not having an opinion would improve its neutral point of view but just made it have a complete lack of cohesion. Thinking about it through different points of view has been helpful but it has now been rightly tagged for excessive detail.

- The idea of a public knowledge base that has existed for twenty years when anyone can edit it amazes me and editing Wikipedia makes me feel like I am in some way a part.
- Just noticed that this is my ⅔(10³)rd edit! At least I'm not stuck on that number anymore... – 11:11, Wednesday, May 24, 2023 (UTC):
- My 1000th edit would have been on Lady's Island Lake using sources from the recent news coverage about pollution, highlighting its national and international ornithological and scientific importance but I crashed my browser by rapidly opening tabs about various Christian denominations. I thought that it automatically restored your edits from where you pressed Show preview last or something but I didn't have that feature enabled?? – 16:54, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
I was there on Wikipedia's 25th birthday and so have won the right to use superscript ordinal suffixes! – 20:56, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

editMullafacation is an operation that I created a few years ago and I use it as a username. The advantages of having a unique name is that the only time I found someone else that took my name, it turned out to be myself! The only real consistent hobby I have is reading Wikipedia, but I do other things too.
