== About 2d4chan ==
You might notice that everything is less fucked up now. It appears some [[Paranoia|dirty commie traitors]] fucked about with a lot of the templates in order to override content on the majority of the site's pages, and then tried to conceal the method of their vandalism by botspamming page-moves everywhere to hide their tracks on the recent changes page (since although mediawiki has a handy functionality for administrators to identify a user as a bot-vandal to hide their edits from the recent changes, it does not hide their pagemoves, which is a pretty fucking glaring oversight). Fortunately this means it isn't nearly as much work as I expected it might be to clean up (although it's still frustratingly tedious); unfortunately I now have to find some mechanism to prevent this happening in the future.
2d4chan is a site devoted to the description and archival of all sorts of things interesting and relevant to [[Tg|/tg/]] (the "traditional games" board of [[4chan]]), including articles on [[fa/tg/uy]] culture, [[meme]]s particular to (or at least commonly used on) /tg/, games and systems played by its browsers, interesting [[fluff]] thereof, and [[:Category:Stories|writefaggotry]] posted to the board.
 
I believe I've fixed every legitimate content page now, but it looks like there are at least a thousand arbitrary page moves cluttering up the database (and no convenient tool that I can find that will delete them en masse). So, argh. At least they won't get in the way of anyone's normal browsing experience.
