gollark: (again)
gollark: The next thing to do is to rework the content model in some slightly underdetermined way, actually add revisions, change the UI, ignore this list of things to do and randomly do something else instead, and add files.
gollark: Do you mean MediaWiki and redirects? If so, sure.
