			== Google ranking ==

			It seems like in the past few weeks, the wiki has not been showing up in revelant Google searches. Other search engines seem unaffected.
			It's unclear what has caused this, but if I had to guess, we are likely being flagged by some automatic system on their end.

			I'm not sure what the proper course of action is, since Google's algorithms are (intentionally) opaque.
			However, there are some tools in the [[https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome\|Google Search Console]] that may reveal issues.

			It would be nice to know if there are some actions we can take improve the situation.

			I'd like to request the tabber extension to be added: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TabberNeue

			Such an extension would allow for multiple sections' worth of similar information to be condensed into a single section. More to the point, pages such as this ([[5L 2s]]) have multiple tuning subsections that can be further condensed into one section, thus saving space and better organizing page information. (For an outside example, consider this RS Wiki page and its use of the tabber extension: https://runescape.wiki/w/Arch-Glacor/Strategies)

			Thank you for your consideration.

			== Extensions ==

			Hi Tyler! I'd like to request a few extensions:
			* [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:Purge\|Extension:Purge]]. This one is useful when you've working on a template or a Lua module and test your changes on some page. Using a purge button instead of making a null edit saves both clicks and page load time.
			* [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:TemplateStyles\|Extension:TemplateStyles]]. This one is useful when you need some custom CSS rules which can't be put into <code>style="..."</code> but aren't important enough to go into the global [[MediaWiki:Common.css]].

			== Maintenance bot ==

			Hi Tyler, I asked Xenwolf a question (see [[User talk:Xenwolf#Maintenance_bot]]) and he said you were probably the right person to ask!

			I notice that we sometimes do manual cleaning which could be automated by bots, such as fixing double redirects. I stumbled upon this yesterday: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/redirect.py
