GeoSearch continues
Hey Max, thanks for all your great work on the GeoSearch extension. I was actually using it through the API this weekend and, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like it doesn't support continue strings pretty much at all? I didn't see anything in the docs or in my brief glance at the code that suggests it uses the classic or "simple" continuations. Am I missing something? If not, are there any plans to support continuations? Thanks! --MahmoudHashemi (talk) 01:32, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That's right, it's not supported. Next time, please ask on mw:Project:Support desk. Max Semenik (talk) 02:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Migration Institute of Australia
I noticed that Migration Institute of Australia had just become a red link and I see you deleted it due to an expired PROD. I was thinking it might be useful to make this a redirect to Migration Agents Registration Authority, as it is mentioned in that article due to a historical connection. Can you see any reason not to have this redirect? If a redirect is appropriate, would it be better to just re-create the page, or to undelete it and edit (preserve the history)? Thanks. – Wdchk (talk) 20:02, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see why would we need to undelete it for a redirect. Max Semenik (talk) 17:25, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, I re-created it as a redirect. Thanks. – Wdchk (talk) 05:10, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Richard A Kimball Jr. Wiki deletion
Hi

I am confused. Does wiki often approve and then delete as you have done with the subject above? That seems to be very odd policy. Steve boccone (talk) 04:35, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yep, if we feel an article does not comply with our policies, we might as well delete it - see Deletion policy for details. Also, another thing we don't like is your sockpuppetry so I've blocked you as part of the sock drawer involved. Max Semenik (talk) 04:40, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Gadget redirects
Hope you don't mind a couple of WP:AFC/R-style requests: these redirects should have been created before now. Nyttend (talk) 17:04, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey, I poked around and would like a clarification from when this namespace is supposed to become editable before trying risky editing from shell over a trivial issue. Max Semenik (talk) 22:31, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
