Although it was a long fight, Dai-Guard has untied the textual knot of image markup on the wiki, reducing the number of pages that need to be fixed from 13271 to 292. It was a long struggle, and the bot had to get a replacement arm regex upgrades while running. The remaining ones have to be fixed manually, because they're pretty tricky -- or quote-box wasn't being used as image markup here. Existing images might need to be scaled down though -- replace "frame" with "thumb|300px" (or a similar size) to get things looking a bit better.
Dai-Guard is a bot running Perl's MediaWiki::Bot module. It's hand-coded, so it can do a lot of tricky fixes. The image fixes above took seven interconnected regular expressions. It was actually designed to be used by three coders.... ok, overly long gag, never mind.
Bob has been spending time on converting {{trope}} to {{work}} templates. But it's really so easy to do with a bot, that I'm probably going to set up a web interface to automatically do things like that.
Looks like most of the technical issues have been ironed out. I look forward to focusing on recruitment for December. Happy Thanksgiving, all!
