Lee arbitrarily took out the voting system; if we clamor loud enough, he 
promises to put it back.

Which reminds me... everybody, don't forget the bug & feature request- 
tracking system at the Wikipedia project page on Sourceforge:
   http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=34373

Wiki pages get cluttered with this kind of thing, and mailing list 
messages get quickly forgotten, but the tracker won't leave us poor 
programmers alone until we do something about it...

Aha! I was looking for that up next to "Upload images" and "List 
images"; on another look it turns out to be way down by "List orphaned 
articles".

Note that there are still some limitations; it doesn't know about images 
and other files that are indirectly linked via a clickable URL within 
the English wiki, or from the various non-English wikipedias.

You can set it back to the righthand side in your user preferences.
