Personnel
gollark: But strategy and stuff go back.
gollark: Fine, we can put goes in games:original.
gollark: Did I? I thought someone else did.
gollark: Move everything back into its own pages because really there's only one version around which matters much.
gollark: I could do it manually, but it would be annoying and break revision history.
