To be used with the ProofreadPage extension, the individual pages of A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism need to be moved to conform to that extension's naming conventions. Around 600 page moves are required. The redirect pages thus created should be made into {{dated soft redirect}}s. In addition, some template calls need to be wrapped in <noinclude> tags to avoid transclusion. Around 1800 operations are required in total. The operations requested in particular are:
The operations should be executed in the indicated order, except that the moves and the placing of the soft redirects may be interspersed in the obvious way, if they can't be processed in a single batch.
Status: Done. More trouble with page.move: reports failure even if page move succeeded. Pages 111–121 will need special treatment later on.--TalBot09:10, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Step 2
Description
If Step 1 goes all well, handle pages 11–70 slightly faster
Status: Done. Some damage done due to a combination of missing pages and poor exception handling. Hopefully fixed now.--TalBot08:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
About a thousand of these need to have "Proclamation #" removed from the line above the header. All following 4850 (except 4869) need this change, apparently. --Spangineerwp(háblame)02:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Done, run time 09 hours 11 minutes. —{admin} Pathoschild 22:08, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Update broken links to most wanted pages deleted as unneeded redirects
Links to the following most wanted pages are generally from welcoming messages to new users. I would like to request a bot to update the links as having too them in Special:Wantedpages wastes spaces:
