Phlox—
 * as in the good doctor of NX-01 Enterprise.
 * Phlox has built metadata templates (Category:Info templates) to implement a structured wiki solution for problems in the genealogy domain (large amounts of tabular statistical data). A major challenge in the coming decades will be the volume of fine granularity microhistory articles accumulated in a multilingual global family history wiki.
 * Mission statement: What we are doing at Familypedia
 * PhloxBot is a bot Phlox occasionally operates for maintenance tasks. Help on this subject may be found on its user page, but if you'd like to discuss something, please leave a message on Phlox's talk page, not the talk page of the bot.

Anyway, if you have any questions or comments on pages I have edited, please post on my discussion page. The following is a cheat sheet for my use.
