I'm not sure... Darkelfwizard made its first edit more than three years ago, then intermittently was editing... had a gap for over 2 years,

Then an editing spree on 2nd Sep 18, which suddenly stopped.

Then Flynnbulwinter started editing either on 3rd Sep 18 or sometime before that. Their history is too long.

I am self-taught and still learning. >< What sorts of errors do you want me to fix? Or what to clear up?

The most prominent "problem" is that your style is inconsistent with the standard style. Internal links can be made with {{curly braces}} or CamelCase, but the default is CamelCase. The {{curly brackets}} are a workaround for certain words, not the default method of creating links.


Something I see as a larger problem (but not as prevalent in your edits) is the assignment of tropes to Real Life people. For the purposes of this wiki, Real Life isn't a story, and assigning tropes to people is discouraged.
Also, there's a minor issue of ZCE:
  • Nikki Flynn & Edwin Dantes model their writing of Anthologies of Ullord after this trope. Their various stories spoil events from other stories since there are a lot of crossover stories and characters making cameo appearances. These cameo appearances are used as a Continuity Nod and in a Connected All Along way. You can pick up reading any series or umbrella of their works (so long as you take book 1 in the series first) and experience this trope.
Nothing about this paragraph tells me what "this trope" is. Crossover? Shared Universe? It Was His Sled? Examples need to be written to highlight an instance of the trope, not simply assert its existence.
