TOC

template work (if I decide to pick something up again):

• Template:Search_prefixes wrote this to search a set of different related areas in one search.

• Template:Create_parameter_string string manipulation template that I wrote for search prefixes

• Template:Search_deletion_discussions wrote this after trying to find something that was deleted. There were so many different areas to search.. yikes.

• Template:SPI added visual dividing line to make SPIs easier to read after personally trying to wade through the process.

• Template:Test-mode

- result of this conversation: User_talk:Davidgothberg/Archive_6#Proposed_enhancement_for_testing_templates - User:Davidgothberg and User:Bawolff did the work on this. David has the rare combination of intelligence and being able to explain concepts well. Sorry to see him "semi-retired"

• Template:Search_archives - fixed to work with multi word titles, and added ability to personalize label

• Helped Floydian with jcon and some other road templates - starting here: User_talk:Floydian/Archive9#Junction_template

• Template:Usertitle - no links because you subst to use it. needs to be tweaked again. Sam used it.
