Slow performance has been reported on systems where the whole site is on a single Pentium 133 with 48MB of RAM -MediaWiki installation guide
I think it's about time we all clubbed together to buy Misplaced Pages a second Pentium 133 --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:54, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

To do
- FM broadcasting will probably move to FM broadcasting in the USA
head
Somebody who types in the word head will now actually get a description of the head. Hurray! Death to intrusive disambiguations!
The rationale for this was the observation that quite a lot of internal links to head (formerly a disambiguation page) were in an anatomical context. Actually if I were doing it again I'd probably recommend that head (anatomy) be moved to head, because well over 90% of all internal links to head turned out to be anatomical, but I've done the work now and I'm not in a hurry to revert it all.
fall
The majority of references to fall were to the American name of the season, so I did the sensible thing. People unfamiliar with the American usage can now click on the link and be told it's merkin for Autunmnmnumumnum.
Misplaced Pages lacked a proper article on falling, so I have stubbed one.
pavement
This now redirects to pavement (roads) which contains adequate disambiguation for the more specific British usage.
clitoris
Disengaging from this because the situation seems stable and I frankly cannot understand the point of view of the anti-photo people.
Went back because the page was briefly protected when someone wanted to edit it. Interesting discussions. Good for the project, I think. Basic issues are being thrashed out.
ram
Most links seem to refer to the sheep. A difficult one, since the only current relevant article is sheep. I decided to insert a disambiguation note on sheep explaining that ram redirects there and pointing people to ram (disambiguation) for other meanings. RAM now points directly to Random Access Memory.
Churchill
This is now a redirect to primary topic disambiguation on Winston Churchill. Just about all internal links to Churchill were in the context of Winston as war leader or writer.
Darwin
I disambiguated two or three references to Darwin, Northern Territory. The remainder of the internal references to Darwin seemed to be references to Charles Darwin. Another case for primary topic disambiguation.
Edmond Wollmann
This article, initially an intemperate rant, was NPOV'd under a sock puppet user so as to avoid unpleasantness from Wollmann's many followers. And then it was listed for deletion. All part of the service.

My user page, talk and subpage layout were ripped off from various places, particularly Andrevan's page (and his talk page), and Jimbo Wales' page. Most of the template work is mine. RoyBoy fixed the current incarnation of the top navigation, which used to be 800x600-busting.
