- Lenoxus (talk · contribs) LOL I can't believe I hadn't put my name here yet. I recently categorized as many of the redirect templates as I could into subcategories. My current project, working along with Richard0612, is the implementation of a redirect meta-template: See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Redirect#New meta-template(s) idea and Wikipedia:VPR#New idea for redirect templates for our discussion. 23 May 2008
