- Red links in navigation boxes - Unwritten articles in navigation boxes not only look ugly (well, I think they do), they also fill up Special:WantedPages with lots of spurious 'high-priority' (from lots of links to them) entries. Can I plead with people not to fill out navigation boxes with links to un-written articles? (A month or two of delay in writing them is OK; but please don't just leave them forever, and never get a 'round tuit'.) I have commented out all the links to un-written articles in our current navigation boxes (list of them here), where they will wait for the articles to be written.

- Expandable navigation boxes - For navigation boxes which have gotten too large, there is now a way to hide part of them behind an 'Expand/Collapse' button; see Help:Introduction to Templates, which now contains instructions for both kinds. An example of an expandable one may be seen here. Jnc (talk) 21:39, 29 December 2023 (CET)
- Documentation category - Category:Documentation has been added, and a link to it added to the Main Page. Anytime you run across a copy of a document hosted here, if it's not tagged with this category tag, please add one to it; thanks! (I know there are quite a few, I'm just too lazy to go search for them!) Jnc (talk) 19:11, 28 December 2018 (CET)
