Link archiving
I have created a series of new templates for semantic link archiving and and a help page that explains how they work. --Quasar (talk) 16:30, 1 February 2016 (CST)
Webfonts
The MIT-licensed version of Glyphicons Halflings and the (somewhat vaguely) open-source Iconochive fonts are now pushed out through our Common.css, allowing use of the various icons they contain. Right now you need to know the magic Unicode numbers but we can address that through either templates or CSS rules, depending on how much we value IE8 support (the CSS :before selector cannot insert content in that browser, which is the typical strategy used for this). --Quasar (talk) 16:30, 1 February 2016 (CST)
Promotion for Nukeykt
Fraggle would like for Nukeykt to have editor rights, in lieu of waiting for autopromotion. I am opening discussion here. --Quasar (talk) 16:30, 1 February 2016 (CST)
Marked spots?
Gez enlightened me on what tools generate the maps deployed in this wiki, but this seems a general issue so I'll pose it here rather than to him directly: many level walk-throughs refer to "marked spots" on the accompanying map, but quite a lot of maps don't actually show those spots. Is this being discussed or addressed? I searched but didn't find a previous topic about it. --Xymph (talk) 04:39, 18 February 2016 (CST)
