*'''Documentation category''' - [[:Category:Documentation]] has been added, and a link to it added to the Main Page.

* 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.

*'''Categories upgrade''' - In an attempt to make the [http://gunkies.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UncategorizedPages Uncategorized Pages] list more useful, a lot of work on categories was just done. See [[Help talk:Introduction to Categories#Background category?|here]] for details. It's probably worth glancing at the [http://gunkies.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Category%3A&namespace=0&hideredirects=1 list of categories] to see which ones exist now.

** The 'stub' and 'semi-stub' categories have gone away, because they mess up the Uncategorized Pages list; the templates will remain, though (and people should keep using them). [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 23:31, 18 December 2018 (CET)
  
* Hey everyone, I'm still alive as is this Wiki - and although I'm not putting all that much effort myself into making article edits, I'm still happily maintaining the site and it seems to be accumulating interesting content. A special thank-you goes to [[User:Neozeed|Neozeed]] for his tireless contributions. The wiki will be maintained, and backups are made of the content. -- [[User:Toresbe|Tore]] ([[User talk:Toresbe|talk]]) 15:04, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

* '''Semi-stubs''' - Since we have a lot of articles that are better than pure stubs, but could still use more content, I have created a new 'semi-stub article' template for them, to display a note, etc: [[:Template:Semi-stub]].

* We've passed the 500 article mark, much in thanks to our consummate contributer [[User:Neozeed|Neozeed]]!  We've also become the top first or second result on Google for a number of terms. Good job, everyone! -- [[User:Lucky|Lucky]] 21:46, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

* Although the site has been neglected at times, and our two year anniversary went unmarked, we're still around! [[User:Toresbe|Toresbe]] has made user registration mandatory to deal with the large amount of spam we've been receiving. New templates have been created and more navigation boxes, articles on peripherals and systems have been added too.  Keep up the good work everyone, I'm especially proud of the [[:Category:Tutorials|tutorials we now have]] for SIMH! :) -- [[User:Lucky|Lucky]] 18 July 2009
