==New list of things to do==

*Find more Tolkien templates and categorise (ongoing)
*Recreate separate HoME volume articles and categorise
*Read the Signpost - my 'brilliant' page reorganisation made me forget all about it!!
*Only a few Tolkien categories left to tidy: ]; ]; ]; <s>]</s>; ]; ]; ].
*Split ] and/or merge articles on Tolkien mailing lists.
*Update ]
*Read ]
*Do Navboxes for groups of linked articles. eg. Tolkien adaptations: Films, radio, LotR, Hobbit, etc. And make links between them work.
*Write articles on old maps. Some have very intersting things that can be pointed out and linked to on Misplaced Pages.

==Random thoughts==

== How I did a merge ==

Here are some links showing how I did that merge you requested. I did it the other way round, with ] redirecting to ] - if you disagree, let's discuss it at the talk page for ]. Anyway, the process (and I don't claim this is ideal or 'correct') was:

The important point is to link to both articles in the edit summaries (links not shown above, but are shown if you follow the links). That makes it clear what is going on. Hope that helps.

== Deleted edits ==

Does anyone know how to view a list of edits that you made on articles or pages that were later deleted? These edits don't show up in a user's contributions log. Thanks. ] 09:11, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

===Middle-earth redirects tagged with ME-project template===
Quite a few talk pages of Middle-earth redirects have been tagged with the ME-project template. This unneccessarily inflates the amount of articles in the assessment statistics. Some of these redirects have been categorised to ], some haven't. The ones that have, and have the ME-project template, can be identified by comparing the articles in ] (all the ones assessed for importance are not redirects), and those in ]. This list could then be tackled using AWB, or some other semi-automated system to either add the parameter "class=NA", or simply to remove the ME-template altogether (my preferred solution), as the category already keeps track of these ME-redirects.

Finding the redirects that haven't been categorised yet will be more difficult. I generated the initial list by using "What links here" on a browse through the entire set of articles, but gave up part-way through. Any ideas for an easy way to find redirects would be appreciated. The editor who added the ME-project template to these redirects (]) might know a way. Drop a note over there at some point. ] 16:56, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

==Translation request==
This is exciting! :-)

==Clarification on deletion==
See this diff for Brion Vibber's clarification on deletion. I take this to mean that the "deletion is no big deal, it can always be undeleted or recovered later" argument (whether for AfDs of disputed articles, or for MfDs of pages with lots of history, or for pages that might be used in evidence) should not be overused, or extended indefinitely into the future. It really should be considered temporary. Anything that might be needed in the future (even if not needed now) should be undeleted and archived properly.
