A WikiWizard is an editor who edits in order to keep the universe in order, by fixing small errors, helping with dispute resolutions, and occasionally helping fight vandalism and trolls. WikiWizards are most effective when attacking vandals, using spells such as Twinkle or Huggle to identify vandals and the fatal revert spell to finish them off. Some WikiWizards stay solitary, communicating with fellow WikiFauna only when necessary, while other boast their powers by creating new templates and tools and using them to do whatever they wish to do (while maintaining order). One of the easiest ways to attract a WikiWizard is to either incorrectly cite or not cite a fact. A WikiWizard should show up in due time and wave their wand to properly cite the necessary facts. WikiWizards do not particularly care for WikiDragons, WikiGiants, or WikiImps, and despise WikiGremlins.

[edit] How to Identify a WikiWizard

Saving the universe, one article at a time.

It's Magic.

You may spot a WikiWizard by noticing their attention being mostly drawn to incorrect, uncited, and unformatted articles. Or they will usually have a Userbox (like the one on the right) somewhere (usually the top) on their page. WikiWizard's pages are usually decorated with homemade crafts and other colorful additives. They are often heard saying "...aaannndd Poof", when reverting vandalism. Also, a WikiWizard is often seen fixing/repairing broken links, and deleting unused non-free images.
