		+	The version of mediawiki that we are running (the latest) has a bit of a problem with the help link. If you are NOT signed in, when you click on the link from any page other than the main page, you are link to the general help page for mediawiki, not the help page for Herocopia. We've experimented and tried to circumvent it, but it seems to be buried deep in the software and can't be tricked or overridden.

 The infobox2 template is currently receiving a value for the type property setting.  This will change very quickly to it doing it automatically. (Hence the need to move non-character entries to the device templates).

 First off, let me say I had hoped we would have been further along in the process of building the Event entries.  But real life on my level does cause major changes to drag here in the land of media wikis.
