Aafi

Just Another Wikimedian

The wisest leaders I have known are lifelong learners. They allow others to teach them. In fact, they relish being the students. .
— Linda A. McLyman, Wise Leadership

About me

Hi, I'm Aafi, and I have been a Wikimedian since March 2019. I am the founder of the Deoband Community Wikimedia, an AffCom-recognised affiliate user group. I have two doppelganger accounts, TheAafi and عافی, and a unique mobile-only account, AafiOnMobile. For my DCW-related activities, see my role account: Aafi (DCW). In January 2026, I created Aafis Bot to help do some maintenance on Urdu Wikiquote.

My work

I am a sysop here, on Wikimedia Commons and on the Urdu Wikipedia, where I am also a bureaucrat. I volunteer as a translation administrator across several projects, including Meta-Wiki; I am a former global renamer and a member of the Volunteer Response Team. I feel happy when asked to help, and I always consider myself a learner. I am comfortable with English, Hindi, Kashmiri, and Urdu languages.
Now that you are around, do visit my guesthouse.
