*My 100th edit was creating the [[QuickBasic]] -> [[QuickBASIC]] redirect page.
*My 250th edit was creating the [[Windows Scripting Host]] -> [[Windows Script Host]] redirect page.
*My 500th edit was re-adding the [[Template:Implementation|implementation template]] to [[PowerBASIC Console Compiler]]. (Sigh.)
