* '''To get some measure of control over spam, user creation has been temporarily disabled.''' Please send [[User:Toresbe|Toresbe]] a mail if you wish for him to set up an email. This should be a short-term, temporary measure. -- [[User:Toresbe|Tore]] ([[User talk:Toresbe|talk]]) 21:32, 10 February 2011 (PST)

* '''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)

** ''Update'': I have gone through the entire list in the [[:Category:Stub Articles]], and moved all the better ones to [[:Category:Semi-stub Articles]]. That leaves about ~270 real stubs. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 02:11, 22 October 2018 (CEST)
  
* Phew. The spam has really been hitting this wiki pretty hard lately. I've had to enable user account verification in order for this wiki to at all be able to survive.

* '''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.
