I didn't add any Wikipedia links in this PR (but sorted the link definitions so it might look that way), but I could go through the Wikipedia links and update them if you like. Do you want me to squash the 27 commits into 1? |

landed second commit from here on v4.x-staging @ 476ac24, only one made it last time / @thealphanerd |

|
