* '''Category work''' - After I created a new article on an obscure video terminal board, it was pointed out to me that since no other article linked to it, Web indexers wouldn't find it. I realized that if every article is in a category which is included in some way in one of the main categories, which are linked to on the [[Main Page]], that would do it. So I've started a major campaign to improve categories, make sure all articles are tagged, etc. I have some queries; see [[Help talk:Introduction to Categories|here]] (the best place I could think of to discuss them, since we've had similar discussions there before).

* '''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)

* '''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)

* '''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!

** 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 '{{LOCALMONTHNAME}}', 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)

** Uploading of content (images, etc) is also currently broken. Regular article editing works, though. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 16:44, 17 June 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.
