=== Wikis and docs ===
Now of all the things to fall to the side, the wikis were the more tedious. You may now notice there are sitemaps on these pages - this is no mere accident. In fact it was around 2-3 days of continued pain, getting CategoryTree to work properly and recategorising hundreds of articles, by hand. In the end, we now have 2 wikis that work, are traversable, and are as clean as can be. Thank you Connor.

Now you may also notice that some pages say "this revision does not exist". I have no idea why this happens or why it's there but, as far as I can tell, it always has been. We've had history lost forever on here and sadly we can't get it back.
=== Moving the boxes ===
Months have passed since the initial attempt to get this sorted but finally, on October 20th 2021, the tapes are out of the studio. In 40 something cardboard boxes, labelled and organised precisely so we can request exactly the right tapes, our archives have been moved to the library. Next step is digitization - the hard part. But the good thing is we no longer have to wait around for things to be moved; all we have now is a need to get things done as fast as we can.
