Development

   - Worked on (and for now finished) a new, prettier layout for the
   ArticlePlaceholder-generated pages
   - Made improvements to page size by removing a lot of unneeded comments
   in the HTML
   - Worked more on putting identifiers into their own section and linking
   them properly without a gadget
   - Looked into making it possible to edit more languages without the
   labellister gadget
   - Worked on improving the ranking of search results on Special:Search
