For a period of time, beginning today, you will see {{{name}}} at the top of many infoboxes. This is because we previously had a different name for the name variable in infoboxes. Quite unaccountably, some were {{{comic name}}}, some {{{story name}}}, others {{{audiobook name}}}, etc. Basically, the name variable was called {{{<media> name}}}, instead of plain, old "{{{name}}}". The bot is now changing all pages in category:stories. At a rate of about 8000 edits a day, I'm estimating that it might be finished by Friday. Might be later. But worry not, and please don't manually edit the name field yourself.
