ships by year find script
Hello stranger. :) I'm wondering if you still have the script that added ship by year categories to articles based on information from the infobox? This was a bot task IIRC. When we take long breaks everything goes to hell in a handbasket! Brad (talk) 02:17, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

You're back!
I was wondering what had happened to you. Didn't you gain the tools and disappear soon afterwards. I remember you gave me a lot of help with ship-related stuff in my early days. Glad to see you are back, hope all is OK with you. I see you're not as active now as you used to be. Hope you'll feel able to do more in the future. Mjroots (talk) 10:16, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
