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

** The 'stub' and 'semi-stub' categories have gone away, because they mess up the Uncategorized Pages list; the templates will remain, though (and people should keep using them). [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 23:31, 18 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)

* '''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.

  • Vertical text - There are now two templates to produce vertical text (for example, in table entries): {{VerticalTextUp|Text to go up}} and {{VerticalTextDown|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. Jnc (talk) 16:11, 6 April 2024‎ (CET)
  • 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!
