... And that's also why I added the word "self-discrepancy", which I encountered in the same book, to English #Wiktionary.
This doesn't mean that I actually remember every single thing that I ever wrote on Wikipedia and Wiktionary. I remember quite a lot of them, but certainly not everything. But I'll know where to find it! (Unless someone decides that it's "non-notable" or "unreferenced" or something, but I have solutions for that, too.)
Jessica McCabe, "How to ADHD".
She's a YouTuber, not a scientist, although she did consult with scientists for writing the book.
With that caveat aside, this is a frighteningly good description of how and why I edit @wikipedia, @wikidata, #Wiktionary, and all those other wikis (and why I write blog and Fediverse posts).
So yes, #ADHD may be a good explanation for the motivation to do it, but the result of the work is useful to all people, I would hope?..
Just donated to @kiwix!
They do great work of making the download of various dictionaries and knowledgebases offline extremely easy!
This is essential for people in regions with bad internet, like a refugee camp.
I couldn't find any legal advice, which would be pretty important, apart from a general #StackExchange backup.
Spread the knowledge!

(I was looking up all the translations of garlic in #wiktionary the other day and it caught my eye)
I made a few edits in the English #Wiktionary recently. Mostly around Hebrew words. And I ran into a template that made sense on some pages, and made less sense on other pages.
After seeing it on many pages, I went to its talk page to start a discussion about changing how it works. On the talk page, there was already someone who raised that problem.
It was myself, five years ago.
