* '''Admin services''' - [[User:Toresbe|Tore]] has added me to the [http://gunkies.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=sysop admin group], and I have considerable experience as an admin on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jnc Wikipedia], so if anyone needs anything which requires admin status (e.g. merging histories for duplicate articles, deleting article names with typos, etc, etc) please let me know.

* '''I am very sorry for having neglected this wiki for so long'''. I have authorized two other users to create accounts and AFAIK cleared the backlog of user signup requests.

* 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.

  • Downtime - Unfortunately, I was hospitalized with severe health issues just as this site was having some major difficulties. I am very sorry that it's taken this long and that I've been so bad at communicating - but now a lot of technical debt has been paid down, and I am beginning a dialog to work out how to ensure the site is not so dependent on me so this doesn't happen again. -- Tore (talk) 00:21, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
  • Orphans - If you look at the list of orphaned pages, we have quite a few - and I have just done a lot of work reducing the number. If you create a page, you will know it is there - but others probably will not, unless it is linked to by something else. Please make doing that a part of your routine!
