* '''New register headers''' - Using 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)

  • 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! Jnc (talk) 16:08, 29 July 2017 (CEST)
  • Admin services - Tore has added me to the admin group, and I have considerable experience as an admin on 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.
