All of the page migration is complete! However, there were a couple of issues. Due to a bug with certain browsers on certain computers (still not entirely sure what the exact problem is), the categories of many pages did not transfer properly, leaving them with no categories (unless the page was classified as a stub or contains a broken file link, in which case it is auto-included in either of those categories). Because of this, we will have to manually add categories to pages. It's no hurry though, and can be done over time. Just look out for pages that are missing categories, and add them as you see fit. Also, check [[Special:UncategorizedPages|this page]] for a list of all pages that are missing categories (note that this does not include any pages that are also stubs and/or have broken file links). We are also currently in the process of migrating all the pictures. Amos is in charge of pictures right now, so if you have questions pertaining to pictures, ask him. Also note that some pages contain pictures that we did not upload to the wiki. This is due to a strange phenomenon where some of our pictures happen to share names with pictures that others have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and instead of showing a broken file link, the wiki pulls the picture from Wikimedia commons, sometimes resulting in hilarity. It would be ideal to replace all of these sooner rather than later.

Dear Editors:

All of the page migration is complete! However, there were a couple of issues. Due to a bug with certain browsers on certain computers (still not entirely sure what the exact problem is), the categories of many pages did not transfer properly, leaving them with no categories (unless the page was classified as a stub or contains a broken file link, in which case it is auto-included in either of those categories). Because of this, we will have to manually add categories to pages. It's no hurry though, and can be done over time. Just look out for pages that are missing categories, and add them as you see fit. Also, check this page for a list of all pages that are missing categories (note that this does not include any pages that are also stubs and/or have broken file links). We are also currently in the process of migrating all the pictures. Amos is in charge of pictures right now, so if you have questions pertaining to pictures, ask him. Also note that some pages contain pictures that we did not upload to the wiki. This is due to a strange phenomenon where some of our pictures happen to share names with pictures that others have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and instead of showing a broken file link, the wiki pulls the picture from Wikimedia commons, sometimes resulting in hilarity. It would be ideal to replace all of these sooner rather than later.
