Loved

 * Should merge stuff in gerrit; fix loose ends later
 * Idea to consolidate CSS (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137992 )

Lacked

 * Knowing what to do (if anything) about bugs created by templates. (see. e.g.,  https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T126331 )
 * Maybe go to the talk page for that template and explain the problem
 * 1/3 of main page articles image leads to file page
 * Maybe ask James F

Learned

 * Double-check your schema version before querying event logging!
 * Using queries to determine which pages to re-generate takes longer than doing all pages. -> Need for versioned content format
 * Regeneration has happened (at least on enwiki jellyfish); should check
 * Alcohol laws in Pennsylvania

Longed for

 * Faster re-generation of MCS content

Action Items
