* '''New register headers''' - Following the example of [[:Template:16bit-header‎]] and [[:Template:16bit-bitout‎]], a number of new register templates have been created: 36-bit ([[:Template:36bit-bitout‎]]);  32-bit, in both [[little-endian]] and [[big-endian]] forms ([[:Template:32bit-bitout‎big]] and [[:Template:32bit-bitout‎little]]); and finally, motivated by how nice the 36-bit ones looked, grouped into 3's by colour, versions of the 16-bit ones for both hex and octal machines ([[:Template:16bitgroup3-bitout‎]] and [[:Template:16bitgroup4-bitout‎]]). (For each length, there's one header template, shared between the versions.) [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 19:08, 16 January 2018 (CET)

* '''Vertical text''' - There are now two templates to produce vertical text (for example, in table entries): <nowiki>{{VerticalTextUp|</nowiki>''Text to go up''}} and <nowiki>{{VerticalTextDown|</nowiki>''Text to go down''}}. In tables, you may have to use 'rowspan="N" |' attributes on those entries to create long vertical boxes for them to go in.
 
 
* '''VAX article imports''' - I have just imported a large number of VAX articles provided by Antonio Carlini; I have looked at the history of ''all'' of them, and where there was previous content, I have merged it back in. I '''think''' I got them all - if I missed any, I do humbly apologize! [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 16:08, 29 July 2017 (CEST)
 
 
 
* '''Admin services''' - [[User:Toresbe|Tore]] has added me to the [http://gunkies.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=sysop admin group], and I have considerable experience as an admin on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jnc Wikipedia], so if anyone needs anything which requires admin status (e.g. merging histories for duplicate articles, deleting article names with typos, etc, etc) please let me know.
