As opportunity arises I plan to go back through everything in the Undeveloped articles category to select and improve any that I'm qualified or interested in, then those will be returned to the proper Main page categories.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 23:10, 26 May 2012 (MDT)

:I think that's a wise decision. Many of those resulted from me placing an empty posting box on the top of thread pages on Hotrodders.com, encouraging people to start a wiki article. What ended up happening was that people would instead type a forum question into the box. Some of those I tried to rework from basic questions into basic articles. A small handful of them were successful, but at the price of strewing 1-sentence "articles" all over the wiki.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 07:56, 27 May 2012 (MDT)

==Page title out of place==
 
On the [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Category:Engine Engine] page, there's an article ''SBC cylinder head identification'' that is listed under "S", but the "S" is below "C", not with the rest of the articles under "S". This might have happened when I moved the title back a while ago.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 20:40, 30 May 2012 (MDT)
 
:I think you're right; it must be a bug related to the move from a title beginning with "C". Ultimately, we should probably start a page to document the various bugs, including those that popped up during the move. We might be able to solve this one by purging a cache somewhere. I'm going to poke around in the MediaWiki manual and see if I can find anything.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 23:14, 30 May 2012 (MDT)
 
::I removed all the categories that page had and sent the article to Undeveloped articles. Then I retrieved it from there and added the correct categories again, now the Engine page looks correct.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 23:23, 30 May 2012 (MDT)
 
:::Great, thanks. There must be some sort of cache purge involved in one of those processes.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 09:10, 31 May 2012 (MDT)
