Done. > 2. On Tuesday, we'll replace the Tool Labs help page(s) on > wikitech.wikimedia.org with the new Tool Labs Guide. Done. In the next couple days it would also be good to clean up https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Tools#Useful_links , link appropriately to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs/Tool_Labs/Migration_of_Toolserver_tools , ensure that all the questions from https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Move_your_bot_to_Labs&oldid=11520#Set_up_your_bot get answered in https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Tools/Help , and add more terms to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Terminology .
