   • Partly fixed. I think. --AllyUnion (talk) 04:05, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Depreciated tasks:

1. Ensure that it is {{subst:vfd top}} and {{subst:vfd bottom}} for performance reasons.

   I haven't quite figured out to how to do this one exactly either... at least for all the pages. It can check new pages, but not on the old pages unfortunately. I could use a category temporary, but I don't want to screw anything up. For the time being, it will only check on the recent VFD pages. -- AllyUnion (talk) 21:09, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

   I haven't exactly been running this feature. -- AllyUnion (talk) 22:16, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

2. Add the Template:Vfd top and Template:Vfd bottom to all old VFD subpages as a HTML comment, once moved to VFD old.

   This task is not implemented, and there are questions and objections to this feature at this time. -- AllyUnion (talk) 12:17, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

3. Post a new edited WP:VFDL page
   1. Add the new UTC day section link on WP:VFDL (in the Jump to specific days box)
   2. Remove the six days ago section link on WP:VFDL (in the Jump to specific days box)
   3. Add a new six days ago /Old section link on WP:VFDL (in the Jump to specific days box)
   4. Add the new UTC day transinclude on WP:VFDL
   5. Remove the six days ago transinclude on WP:VFDL
