Recently, several engineers and developers who were instrumental in maintaining and improving the software that powers Wikipedia, were laid off or terminated by the Wikimedia Foundation. You can find out more about the changes on this project page.As a member of the Wikipedia community (which you can join), I would like to thank these engineers and developers for the combined decades of service that they have dedicated to Wikipedia and its editors and readers. Their years of hard work developing software requested on the Community Wishlist was greatly appreciated.

Things I do
As a gnome, I occasionally solve some, all or none of the following problems in no particular order.
- Typos highlighted by WP:Database reports/Linked misspellings, even when not linked, and by CTIOC
- Links to pages listed in User:Certes/Backlinks which should lead elsewhere
- Links to pages listed in WP:WikiProject Bluelink patrol/Places which lead to proper nouns but have lowercase initials
- Templates with disambiguation links
- Vandalism to numbers, years, portals, and whatever else happens to be on my watchlist this week
- Missing short descriptions on GAs and FAs
- Taxonomy templates which display a qualifier or other unwanted text in a link
- Certain types of spam reappearing
I also create (or perhaps just discover) problems for others to solve, including:
