* '''Semi-stubs''' - Since we have a lot of articles that are better than pure [[:Category:Stub Articles|stubs]], but could still use more content, I have created a new [[:Category:Semi-stub Articles]] for them, and also a template to add them to it, display a note, etc: [[:Template:Semi-stub]]. Syntax is just like 'stub': <i><nowiki>{{semi-stub}}</nowiki></i>. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 16:01, 18 September 2018 (CEST)

* '''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. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 16:11, 6 April 2024‎ (CET)

* '''New register headers''' - Following the example of [[:Template:16bit-header‎]] and [[:Template:16bit-bitout‎]], a number of new register templates for other word-lengths have been created: see [[Help:Introduction to Templates#Registers|here]] for details.

* '''Orphans''' - If you look at the list of [[Special:LonelyPages|orphaned pages]], we have quite a few - and I have just done a ''lot'' of work reducing the number. If you create a page, ''you'' will know it is there - but others probably will not, unless it is linked to by something else. Please make doing that a part of your routine!

  • Vertical text - There are now two templates to produce vertical text (for example, in table entries): {{VerticalTextUp|Text to go up}} and {{VerticalTextDown|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. Jnc (talk) 16:11, 6 April 2024‎ (CET)
  • Orphans - If you look at the list of orphaned pages, we have quite a few - and I have just done a lot of work reducing the number. If you create a page, you will know it is there - but others probably will not, unless it is linked to by something else. Please make doing that a part of your routine!
