Nice start. I presume the output could include wikilinks, at least to the overall pages. It'd be neat if the specific open tasks were also wikilinked, but I guess that might be a problem if there were, say, 20 open tasks on one of those pages. Any thoughts? --Dweller (talk) 10:50, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That's why I made a Template:Cratstats/Style page, so anyone can edit it. X clamation point  12:45, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Can you find a nice place for it in the BN headers? Thanks. --Dweller (talk) 09:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That may be difficult, with all the clutter up there.  X  clamation point  15:20, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * How about this? X clamation point  15:29, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Looks perfect to me, but I suggest you float it past the other Crats' boats, too! --Dweller (talk) 16:23, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
