* '''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).
