Update merge template usage

I noticed on Wikipedia:Bandwagon that the Template:Merge and Template:Mergefrom templates had their usages changed. The APB went out to find all articles using the old template and change them.

Following an idea of User:Oleg Alexandrov I used the WWW::Mediawiki::Client package for perl and wrote some scripts. Seems to be working so far.

Ooops. Now that the run is over, I discovered that I may have committed a no-no by running an authorized bot. I'm sorry if I bogged down the server. I'm done now.

Articles

These are some articles I've worked on a little bit.

• locally
• Symplectic vector space
• Knight Rider

Very minor contributions

• New England Patriots
• University of Chicago
• Thames and Severn Canal
• much, much more...

In progress

I've finally merged my ramblings on symplectic geometry (except for the etymology) into the main articles.

To do

1. "Finish" symplectic vector space
2. etymology of symplectic
3. Fermat's theorem (stationary points)

Real Soon Now

• Jimmy Smith discography (see Blue Train (album))
