If you're seeing this template, it's probable that I just dropped by to make an edit or two, and won't be around very long. (With the exception of Warriors Wiki). If you have any queries, you can email me.

Hi! I used to be active from 3 May 2009 to 15 October 2010, when I gave up my post as leader of Project World and disappeared. I pop up every now and then, and these days I make a few edits here and there. Any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page.

Lightning is an orange tom with one yellow paw.
Yeah, he is. I am Grayravenpaw, better known as Lightning, and I have made 6,992 edits here.
Lightning is an orange tom with one yellow paw. He is a loner, who prefers to stay away from the forest. His body is young, but he has an ancient mind. Though he stays away, he has friends in both the older and younger generations of warriors. These include Sandypelt, Bramblestar, Helice, Shruggypaw and, more recently, Atelda and Cloudystar. He also occasionally helps apprentices with their training. These include Shruggypaw, Clarapaw and Zorthpaw.
I go on the IRC as (usual names in bold) SnakeofSalaman, WhiteLightning, NZcricketer, and BlackPhoenix, WhiteLightning__, BlackPhoenix__, Graypaw, Grayravenpaw, Redtail, WLight, LightWhitening, PhlackBoenix, w_h_y, Squiee, StarryFox, GreenLightning, evil_cackle, Flatter and identity_theft.

This user has a penchant for missing the glaringly obvious.
{{!-}}
Linebreaks hate this user.
{{#ifeq:
This user has been called a "coding boss" by Atelda and a "coding god" by Cloudy, but refuses to consider either as anywhere close to the truth. At least not till this user can create a template which works, in one shot. Also, this user is nothing compared to the "lord of coding"
First of all, do not take it personally if you are not on here. It just means that I don't know you very well yet, and since I used to be active about six months back, most positions mentioned here have changed. Retired and inactive users in italics. Shruggy, Bramble, Sandy, Sky, Maple,Nightfall, Quail miss you people!
Kelsey: A damn genius, funny, and an amazing person to talk to. Kelsey is one of the only people left who actually know what the wiki was like in the old days (ah, nostalgia). Also seems to have picked up the art of being cryptic from me....Not that I mind.
Maple: The former deputy of PW, she makes a lot of constructive edits. A really nice and helpful person.
Moonflight: A sysop, Moon is always working for the benefit of the wiki, and is a patient person, which is more than I can say for myself.
Atelda: One word. Impressive. She's friendly, edits quite a bit, and edits with a maturity which first made me think, Is this Helix?. A sysop now, and a deserving one.
Mooneh: Unique. An exceptionally unique newb, Mooneh seems to have the ability to press the edit button. A fun person to talk to, even if she's a little obsessed with Thistle.
Sandy: We don't usually meet on the IRC, as I'm her "wake-up-at-4am-if-you-want-to-chat" friend, but it's worth it when we do. She was my former mentor on PCA, before the Mentor Apprentice program closed.
Shruggy: He's my best friend on the wiki. He usually logs in when it is around 11 am for him, and I usually log in when it is around 4 pm for me. Coincidentally, these times overlap, and we meet each other almost everyday on the IRC.
Insane: The leader of PC and the deputy of PB, she's an awesome person. She's one of our best editors, making about a hundred edits a day. Now a sysop.
Eu: This dude is busy with VSTF work, and is rarely editing here, but he's very knowledgeable, and has helped everybody more often than not.
Bramble: The former leader of PCA, and the former leader of PB, she was a very deserving sysop. Very helpful.
Icy: The former deputy and senior warrior of PW, she makes a lot of helpful edits. Was a great help to me in PW. Working in PW really turned her editcount around, and it made me happy to see that.
Sky: The first person I met here, she was the former leader and senior warrior of PC. Edited every project behind the scenes. She also knew quite a lot about nominating characters, and helped me out quite a bit.
Jay: A nice IRC buddy, who I meet as often as I meet Eu. She's been here a long time though. Last time I met her was when I was online at 4:30 am.
Hinden: A user who has a lot of ideas. She got us the colored maps. A really good IRC buddy, who can do all-nighters the same way I can do all-dayers. :D
Arti: She edits everywhere, and edits well. An admin on WFF Wiki
Night: A very constructive editor, and, along with Quail, one of the "night-owls", and a senior warrior on PC. Night suggested the present nursery format.
Suiseiseki: The guy who used to categorize images, he (accidentally) delivered the funniest quote I've heard: "I prefer Oxford English, gentlmen"
Quail: "The Night Dudette", "Nightfox", "Nightowl", or the "Nightbird" in my words, she's another good IRC buddy. All those "Night-somethings" because she's on the IRC, when somebody else would be sleeping.
Helix: "An enigma" in Bramble's words, the leader of Project Userboxes before it closed. He's created loads of pages, and faced quite a bit of criticism, but most people have realised how nice a user he is. He was the leader of Project Userboxes for a reason, you know, he's the guru of templates. Go to him if you have a problem. He's supposed to have "quit" the wiki, but still appears now and then.
Mossy: Insomniac. Need I say more? Perhaps I do. Mossy is a hilarious person, who always seems to want me to be on the IRC. (A "YESSS" when I came online once proves that :P) Also seems to know more about me, than I do myself.
Fleur Delacour: "We 'ave all be 'oping to be chosen for weeks and weeks! Ze honour for our schools! A thousand Galleons prize money - zis is a chance many would die for!"
I got this from the "What I think of other users" section on others' userpages. These are all users I like and respect. All of them, except Atelda (and Helix, partially), are now inactive.
Lightning, got to be my best friend on the wiki. :) Shruggysrc
Gray-very skilled with format and templates (which I am not lol), as well as active, smart, and polite. My Epic Deputy of PC. Now also leader of Project:World, and he totally deserves that position for all the hard work he does. - Insanesrc
Lightning: Very good with templates and a great leader of Project World. He's my get-up-at-four-am-if-you-want-to-chat friend ;) It's good when we do get the chance though - Sandysrc
Lightning is a friendly and polite person who knows a lot about editing and coding, and did a good job in coordinating projects. - Helix
Lightning--Another user from far away, but this time, about halfway. He's my Be-Sure-That-You're-Up-At-2-AM friend. - Quail
Lightning ~ An extremely experienced user who I chat with on IRC. He also turned me into an angel! IRC: White_Lightning, evil_cackle, WLight, (yeah he has a lot of names and probably more that I haven't seen :P) - Ateldasrc
