1/ I've made a couple fixes today, but I've been getting off to a late start (and a late end) every day. I think I'd like to come up with a way of adding "<code><nowiki>{{contribs|RobLa|before=2020-05-21|tz=PDT}}</nowiki></code>" to my journal, and having that show up as [https://electowiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/RobLa&offset=20200521070000&target=RobLa RobLa's contributions before end-of-day 2020-05-20]
Actually, what I'd really like to use is "<code><nowiki>{{contribs|RobLa|before=~~~~~|tz=PDT}}</nowiki></code>". The five tilde trick (e.g. <code><nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki></code> works really well for datestamping raw wikitext, though the timestamps are kind of a mess. Yet another thing for me to write about: [[User:RobLa/timestamp]].
Speaking of things for me to write about, I should write about what someone should find when they visit "[[compromise]]" or "[[pushover]]" on this wiki. I should write about what I find at [[User:RobLa/compromise and pushover]]. I can see by hitting "preview" that (as of this writing) "[[compromise]]" is a redlink, but "[[pushover]]" isn't. Interesting....
The [[compromise]] vs [[pushover]] thing came up because I'm really impressed with [[Clay Shentrup]]'s brief description of "compromise" and "pushover" (see [https://medium.com/@ClayShentrup/strategy-with-star-voting-and-irv-1ec22028399d "Strategy with STAR voting and IRV"] written 2020-05-20 by Shentrup).
Speaking of [[Clay Shentrup]], it seems that we should allow links in the main namespace for ''everyone'' who is notable in the electoral reform community. Not just folks who have published many papers and became academically famous (like [[Kenneth Arrow]] and [[Steven Brams]]) but folks like [[Clay Shentrup]] and [[Aaron Hamlin]] and [[Felix Sargent]] and everyone who is making a difference today, and is willing to put their name and face behind the cause. And it shouldn't just be white dudes; I realize that [[wikipedia:United States currency|United States currency]] is almost exclusively white dudes, but the names on Electowiki shouldn't be that (even though I'm making that mistake here; [[wikipedia:d'oh!|d'oh!]]).
More thoughts here later (today, hopefully...)

5/ I keep adding more redlinks, and not removing things. For example, we have [[Electowiki:MediaWiki]] and [[Help:VisualEditor]], but we don't yet have [[Help:MediaWiki]]. I'll make that tomorrow, though. In the meantime, it's time to create a TODO item for myself over on [[User:RobLa/TODO]] ("''fill in redlinks on
