It looks much better now.

Regarding newcommand's, it's more natural to say:

第4章 instead of 章4
第2页 instead of 页2
图8 instead of 图形8

and in Chinese you don't need to (and shouldn't) add spaces between words.
I feel there're some extra ones added especially near links.

I pushed three repos just now[1][2][3], and I'm not sure about the correct
way to deal with others. One of them contains some counter vandalism
functionality, and I fear that publishing them makes vandals easier to
bypass it somehow. Another one is basically a MediaWiki core repo, with a
few patches on top of master to support [1]; I'm afraid pushing it will
upload a full MediaWiki history.

 If you notice issues in your scheduled cron jobs, simply examine the

 Hm. Yeah, this is doable. Another possibility is to use * DNS, and

 ryansinstance.commonproxy.wikilabs.org - ryansinstance.pmtpa.wmflabs

 This is likely easier than setting up a per-project proxy service...

 Hi,

 The zhwiki community started a discussion about category sorting

What do you think is a better approach to implement this? In 1.16
version I had to create another DB table but in modern MediaWiki,
categories have better sorting support so another choice (which seems
more natural) is to patch MediaWiki and change $wgCategoryCollation to
an array to support multiple collation at the same time. Maybe another
choice is to reuse the existing categorylinks table in an extension
but this requires MediaWiki to have enough hooks.
