AWikiDee is an observant editor resembling a dwarf species ofWikiEagle. WikiDees flit from one article to another finding and correcting previously unnoticed errors in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, grammar, or formatting. They may make frequent use of theRandom article link. Their name was derived from one who barely audibly thought aloud while correcting spelling errors involving the letter D:"Wiki-D-D. Wiki-D-D-D." As WikiDees quickly move on to investigate other articles, their cheerful persistence at this helpful behavior inspires collaboration among otherWikiFauna to continue improving Wikipedia.
WikiDees are among the more recently discovered (January 6th 2017) WikiFauna. WikiDees seem to have been attracted to Wikipedia by a quest for knowledge, and their population may be increasing as Wikipedia becomes more widely recognized as a reference. Sometaxonomists suggest WikiDees arenymphs who may mature into other WikiFauna, such as the behaviorally similarWikiGnome.
English Wikipedia is inhabited by bothOld World andNew World WikiDees, and by several subspecies and hybrids. Somebehavioral differences have been observed, and a few WikiDees mark their territory withVarieties of English templates.
Any WikiFauna, including other subspecies of WikiDee, failing to recognize these territorial markings may be perceived asWikiDodos. Territorial disputes among dissimilar species of WikiDee may cause one to behave like aWikiBadger and the other like aWikiTroll; although it may be difficult to discern which role either WikiDee has assumed as the feathers start to fly. A WikiDee focused on territorial markings maymetamorphose into aWikiKing.
