[WikiEN-l] VFD is now a links page

Fri May 6 19:36:25 UTC 2005

[[WP:VFD]] is now a page of links to individual day pages. The reason for
this is (a) unmanageability and consequent insularity, but more importantly
(b) this page is a noticeable and undesirable server load ALL BY ITSELF:

For those who can't live without the long form week-to-a-view version, it's
at [[WP:VFDL]]. But at least that's not the default any more.

I await with some trepidation what AllyUnion's VFDbot will do at midnight,
though, if he hasn't checked his talk page before then ...

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Votes_for_deletion for
discussion of the hows and whys.

(Longer-term solution: make templates in templates stop working.)
