2. Support Cynewulf 16:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Oh, I see, it just gives a union of the stuff in the explicit {{see}} and the set of existing pagenames that normalize to the same thing as the current page; it doesn't edit the explicit {{see}}. Looks good.

6. Support DAVilla 13:55, 2 September 2007 (UTC) although I would like to encourage Hippitrail to review the issue of order, even if it's a partial order i.e. keep the order of any explicit see terms, and fill in the rest where it seems most appropriate.

   I'm pretty sure he will when he's back online. If it goes a month or two, we could ask Brion to tweak it. --Connel MacKenzie 08:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

7. Support H. (talk) 13:02, 3 September 2007 (UTC) Of course; we should automate everything which goes.

Someone somewhere asked for a copy of the code. I ran across bugzilla:8648 which has it. Sorry for the delay. --Connel MacKenzie 21:30, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
