Parsey Driftchart

Parsey Driftchart is the designated custodian of TikiWiki Realms, a role reluctantly earned through admin panel hauntings and plugin recursion scars. They wear a patch over one eye—the one that once glimpsed the plugin stack looping into itself. Their cloak is a quilt of broken translation strings, half-rendered modules, and comments left in /templates_c/.

Parsey was not installed. They manifested during an admin timeout in TikiWiki 15.3 beta and immediately began patching tracker forms mid-render with nothing but a pencil, a sigh, and ancient .tpl syntax. Some say they wrote the original category tree before it collapsed under its own weight.

Though technically archived, Parsey still drifts between configuration screens and obsolete menus. They whisper template overrides into CSS voids. They diagnose WYSIWYG corruption by smell.

Known allies include Bricky Goldbricksworth, who refuses to speak to Parsey but files around them respectfully. Known adversaries include Blamey McTypoface, who blames Parsey for a disappearing menu, unresolved to this day.

Parsey’s presence is both a blessing and a warning: The theme is never final. The module remembers.
