Hi @Bawolff: - thanks for the welcome - ~10 years later is a good time for a reply! My xaos is just a take on chaos. If you have a moment can you look at my last few contributions - there are some technical updates to fix upcoming tidy issues before the html renderer changes next year - there should be a couple of pending changes and 2 edit requests. Thank you, Xaosflux (talk) 03:56, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for helping with code updating here. Much appreciated. (I also did a few more pages along the same lines, since you've reminded us.) We keep being told things need updating for coming changes to the platform, but nobody's been telling us what needs updating; 'html renderer changes next year' is the most specific I've heard. Cool.

(I've seen your username around the sisterhood from time to time, I think, and never knew how to pronounce. I like it.) --Pi zero (talk) 12:50, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
