It is 8:31 PM where this user lives in Australia. ( ) Howdy howdy, my Wikipedia username is Aeyeu, but I commonly go by Aeyeu Weeb or just Aeywoo.
Hi! I am Aeyeu from South Australia, Australia. You will often see me fixing and correcting citations, infoboxes with improper, incorrect or broken syntax, creating redirects, cleaning up articles and adding new entries to the List of banned video games in Australia. I have created some userboxes (see here) that are based off already existing infoboxes to fit my needs. I only edit on the English Wikipedia, I am also active on various sub-communities on the MediaWiki hosting website Fandom.
