*'''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.

* '''Vertical text''' - There are now two templates to produce vertical text (for example, in table entries): <nowiki>{{VerticalTextUp|</nowiki>''Text to go up''}} and <nowiki>{{VerticalTextDown|</nowiki>''Text to go down''}}. In tables, you may have to use 'rowspan="N" |' attributes on those entries to create long vertical boxes for them to go in.
** The 'stub' and 'semi-stub' categories will be going away soon, as they mess up the Uncategorized Pages list; the templates will remain, though. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 14:48, 17 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': <i><nowiki>{{semi-stub}}</nowiki></i>. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 16:01, 18 September 2018 (CEST)
 
 
 
* '''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.

In tables, you may have to use 'rowspan="N" |' attributes on those entries to create long vertical boxes for them to go in.
