[edit] Update merge template usage

I noticed on Wikipedia:Bandwagon that the Template:Merge and Template:Mergefrom templates had their usages changed. The APB went out to find all articles using the old template and change them.

Need help: The merge template format has been changed: Tags on each article listed here need to be nested like this: {{merge|article}} (no square brackets). Thanks.

Following an idea of User:Oleg Alexandrov I used the WWW::Mediawiki::Client package for perl and wrote some scripts. Seems to be working so far.

Ooops. Now that the run is over, I discovered that I may have committed a no-no by running an authorized bot. I'm sorry if I bogged down the server. I'm done now.

[edit] Articles

These are some articles I've worked on a little bit.

• locally
• Symplectic vector space
• Knight Rider

[edit] Very minor contributions

• New England Patriots
• University of Chicago
• Thames and Severn Canal
• much, much more...

[edit] In progress

I've finally merged my ramblings on symplectic geometry (except for the etymology) into the main articles.

[edit] To do

1. "Finish" symplectic vector space
2. etymology of symplectic
3. Fermat's theorem (stationary points)

[edit] Real Soon Now

• Jimmy Smith discography (see Blue Train (album))
• Merge AHP into Wikisource
• Blossom Dearie
• Wabash and Erie Canal
