* '''Major version update''' - Mediawiki has been updated to latest release. If there are any problems that should appear, please let me know. -- [[User:Toresbe|Tore]] ([[User talk:Toresbe|talk]]) 16:13, 15 April 2018 (CEST)
* '''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. -- [[User:Toresbe|Tore]] ([[User talk:Toresbe|talk]]) 00:21, 2 September 2026 (UTC)  
** We're currently experiencing a problem where non-logged-in users see ''old'' versions of some pages. You can check for this by going to a page's 'History' tab (which also does not show recent versions, on affected pages), and in the 'From month' pulldown menu, select '{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}', and then hit 'Go'; all the versions ''do'' show up. Clicking on the most recent version in that list will get you the most recent text. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 12:55, 23 May 2018 (CEST)
* '''Orphans''' - If you look at the list of [[Special:LonelyPages|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!

* '''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.

* '''VAX article imports''' - I have just imported a large number of VAX articles provided by Antonio Carlini; I have looked at the history of ''all'' of them, and where there was previous content, I have merged it back in. I '''think''' I got them all - if I missed any, I do humbly apologize! [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 16:08, 29 July 2017 (CEST)
