* '''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.

* '''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. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 16:11, 6 April 2024‎ (CET)

* '''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. If anyone still has an outstanding request, please let me know. -- [[User:Toresbe|Tore]] ([[User talk:Toresbe|talk]]) 13:47, 24 July 2017 (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!

  • 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.
