Considering almost everything I have ever set out to do here has been accomplished, I'm now turning to more pedantic tasks while waiting for image uploads, refining articles and undertaking slight but vast CSS tweaks. This includes separating non-encyclopedic content from social namespaces (user, thread, board thread), such as removing internal links from them. External links are not listed on Special:MostLinkedPages so those are fine. Consider me obsessive, I accept the fact. :P

As you mentioned, the infoboxes are planned to be renamed, this made stupidly difficult normally since I previously used internal links for the automated welcome messages. I've assigned ZOptic the task of researching bot usage and perhaps utilising his own for our cleanup.

You may use Linksweeper if you are willing. It will take a while, so you probably ought to reconfigure the script to clear links at a faster rate than 1 per second. That's fine by me, although you may prefer not to have over 1,000 automated edits added to your tally. You can check which pages actually contain a transcluded template rather than a link by choosing this option on Special:WhatLinksHere/. There's a lot less people using the infoboxes than you would think.

I am currently in the process of updating the userboxes to use a newer syntax, having already painstakingly reduced their size and corrected text overflow. I could assign you to carry out the update across the range once I've established configuration.

No word from Topala with the Q&A? At this point, I would consider sending him an email asking/reminding him about it.

Good to hear from you.
