I'm the player of multiple characters across three accounts. I don't think I have what would be called a "main" but I think Aleid and Avalera would be in the running for the title if so.

Sometimes I feel as though I'm taking a lot of liberties. I want to ensure that I'm following the prescribed rules while also adding improvements that have a net positive effect.

Questions I would like to ask:
One of the things stressed in the style guide is the importance of consistency. Do we need more templates to help with this, or do they just get in the way?
How much leeway do we have when it comes to making and adding templates?
How much leeway do we have when it comes to adding categories?
I know we can't add new lich pages, but can we dovetail new information into current pages?
Is there an existing template that can be used to add line breaks more efficiently than <br>? Will moderators be returning?

Things I'm working on:
Formatting Wehnimer's Landing storyline characters.
Updating any missing information on verbs.
Reformatting the item pages for the River's Rest Museum.

Personal projects:
Gathering information for some sort of alteration guide.
Learning how to use wiki formatting as opposed to just mimicking other pages.
Understanding the parts of a template.
Finishing Aleid's personal history

Wiki things I need to memorize:
Margins: {{log2|right-margin=400px}} will keep the log format from going under the template.

Wiki things I need to learn:
What exactly is 400px??

Templates I use a lot:

{{storynpcbox
|storyline = <!-- add storyline2, storyline3, and storyline4 fields on a new line, as appropriate -->
|gender = 
|race = 
|life = <!-- Is the NPC dead or alive? -->
|hometown = 
|relationships = 
|alias = 
|affiliation = }}

Templates I would like to make:
A template for the verb list - although the verb list is nearly complete, I don't mind retro-fitting them.

Templates I've made:

Pages I want to be reminded of:
