Maybe in contrast, maybe in cooperation with my fondness for many things fiction and game, I quite like learning about reality and the world. Topics historical, mundane, small, neat and collectable, human, pragmatic and practical, scientific, avocational and so much more. To this end, I watch youtube videos and sometimes do simple reseach – most often by browsing Wikipedia, or just going wherever google takes me.
When it comes to Wikipedia, I also enjoy improving whatever small errors and poor translations from my language I stumble upon, and sometimes get the urge to get more into editing and help develop my favorite pages. However, that has always seemed so impenetrable. I don't really edit other wikis1, but I salute those who do o7.
And since I'm fond of these, here are the digital ribbons and other awards these Wikipedia efforts have so far earned me: :)
From the left to the right, these are:
Registered Editor Lv 4 – for 150 edits and 23 days of service
Autoconfirmed User – for being autoconfirmed, and the user rights that come with it
Adventurer – the final badge of The Wikipedia Adventure game/tutorial, awarded for completing it
(unchanged awards by user:Jkudlick, user:Personhumanperson and user:Heatherawalls on Wikimedia Commons)

Other interesting wiki and wiki-like sites I've found include:
Tv Tropes, obviously
Liquipedia, for esports (go go Trackmania!)
wiki.gg and anything hosted on there (compared to Fandom, it's a godsend)
The Fitness Wiki isn't really a wiki, but I've been using it for fitness info
The SCP Foundation and The Wanderers' Library, both hosted on Wikidot
AARoads Wiki, if you're really, really into roads (nothing wrong with that)
And since you've made it all the way here, let me show you to a special place..
