Hi! My name is Chlod (//; Tagalog: ). I write software for editors and users of the Wikimedia community.

I became active on Wikipedia starting October 2019. My interests lie in copyright, article writing, and software building. I've made a few editor user scripts, and those can be found on User:Chlod/Scripts, and I've made a few tools that interact with Wikipedia, or are made for Wikipedia, and they can be found at User:Chlod/Tools. I'm also currently the project lead for RedWarn and Ultraviolet, both counter-vandalism tools for patrollers, and Deputy, a tool for processing contributor copyright investigations. Nowadays, I mostly work on MediaWiki—the underlying software that powers MediaWiki, Fandom, Miraheze, and a lot of other wikis on the internet—as well as tools for other developers in the Wikimedia movement. If you want to know what else I make, feel free to have a glance at my GitHub.

I am a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's organization communications translators group, editing under User:Chlod (OCTG) for edits made (in this case, translations) with compensation. I also worked with the Foundation from Novemeber to January 2025 in improving the "Mass delete" extension, though I did not make any on-wiki edits related to that work during that period. Outside of on-wiki work, I am a participant in the Wikimedia Movement Strategy, particularly in the Wikimedia East, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Hub. I work with (and not under) multiple Wikimedia and Wikimedia-related groups based in the Philippines and with individual contributors without affiliations, just like myself.

If you'd like to have a chat, you can reach out to me on the Wikimedia Discord server as chlod, or on my talk page. I use IRC as chlod (with host mask chlod@wikimedia/chlod) on Libera and, though I'm not as active on there, I do receive all direct messages and pings. For matters that may be personal or private, you can talk to me through Discord or you can send me an email through Special:EmailUser. I'm always open to improvement on my editing skills or behavior.
