Recent changes
- There is now a standard way to get the target of a redirect page from a Lua module. [26]

[32][33] - Elasticsearch will be upgraded on Wikimedia wikis this week. This should not affect you, but if you have problems with the search function this is probably the reason. [34]

IMDB link
Oh, no question intended, I could see what the problem was, and don't blame you for taking the content out at first glance. I just thought I'd double-check the IMDb link to see what was there, and when there wasn't anything at all about any kind of "Newly unearthed ITV play", I took a closer look. --McGeddon (talk) 16:48, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
Pronoun?
Can you clarify who "you" refers to in this edit? Toddst1 (talk) 16:14, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
