Hi, thanks for the redirect fixing. We can also use a script for that, by the way; I just hadn't run it in awhile (actually ever) because no one requested it. Nathan Larson (talk) 01:04, 28 December 2013 (MSK)

Thanks for the welcome, Nathan. Although I've worked on a few wikis in my past, I prefer to ease into them by making a few minor edits at first. I believe it warms me up a bit to some of the underlying patterns used by the community. There weren't really that many double redirects, and I kind of enjoy housekeeping a little bit on the wikis I try to support. GMedich (talk) 01:16, 28 December 2013 (MSK)

Yeah, I just ran the script: "No double redirects found." Looks like you were pretty efficient at your wikignoming! The situation you observed was atypical in that I had created a bunch of articles in mainspace that more properly belonged in an Essay: namespace, but it didn't exist yet. After it was created, User:Pestergaines moved them in there. Nathan Larson (talk) 01:24, 28 December 2013 (MSK)

I stopped with the "broken" redirects after I realized they probably would be better deleted than maintained as redirect pages. I don't imagine many users would actually search out some of those terms. GMedich (talk) 01:27, 28 December 2013 (MSK)

MediaWiki

Hi GMedich, How familiar are you with the technical side of MediaWiki (e.g. configuration, troubleshooting, etc.)? Once in awhile we run into some glitches that I have trouble figuring out how to fix. Thanks, Nathan Larson (talk) 01:45, 29 December 2013 (MSK)

My most technical endeavors have included a small amount of css customization and stretching the capabilities of wikicode. I have only recently begun trying to reverse engineer some basic semantic MediaWiki functions. I would probably be at most rated as a talented dabbler. GMedich (talk) 07:28, 29 December 2013 (MSK)
