Update merge template usage
I noticed on Wikipedia:Bandwagon that the Template:Merge and Template:Mergefrom templates had their usages changed. The APB went out to find all articles using the old template and change them.
Need help: The merge template format has been changed:
Tags on each article listed here need to be nested like this: {{merge|article}} (no square brackets). Thanks.
Following an idea of User:Oleg Alexandrov I used the WWW::Mediawiki::Client package for perl and wrote some scripts. Seems to be working so far.
Ooops. Now that the run is over, I discovered that I may have committed a no-no by running an authorized bot. I'm sorry if I bogged down the server. I'm done now.

I've finally merged my ramblings on symplectic geometry (except for the etymology) into the main articles.
To do

- etymology of symplectic
- cleanup binary prefix merges: tebibyte, etc.
- Use WWW::Wikimedia::Client to do the same for
- Clear out Category:Heir Apparent
- Fermat's Theorem (stationary points)
Real Soon Now
