* '''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:32bitbig-bitout‎]] and [[:Template:32bitlittle-bitout‎]]); 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:16bitoctal-bitout‎]] and [[:Template:16bithex-bitout‎]]). (For each word 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.

* '''Category work''' - As a result of an observation about Web crawlers being able to find all our content pages, I've started a major campaign to improve categories, make sure all articles are tagged, etc. I have some queries; see [[Help talk:Introduction to Categories|here]] (the best place I could think of to discuss them, since we've had similar discussions there before).

* '''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.
