Revision as of 19:11, 28 December 2018

  • Documentation category - Category:Documentation has been added, and a link to it added to the Main Page. Anytime you run across a copy of a document hosted here, if it's not tagged with this category tag, please add one to it; thanks! (I know there are quite a few, I'm just too lazy to go search for them!) Jnc (talk) 19:11, 28 December 2018 (CET)
  • Categories upgrade - In an attempt to make the Uncategorized Pages list more useful, a lot of work on categories was just done. See here for details. It's probably worth glancing at the list of categories to see which ones exist now. Jnc (talk) 14:48, 17 December 2018 (CET)
    • 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). Jnc (talk) 23:31, 18 December 2018 (CET)
  • 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. Syntax is just like 'stub': {{semi-stub}}. Jnc (talk) 16:01, 18 September 2018 (CEST)
