My personal subscriptions have not been changed to point to the moved
pages. Updating them is a manual process, apparently. I've missed
notifications about changes to one page till the person mailed me
privately to ask about progress.

I'm sure this was just an oversight in the reorganisation of the Wiki
structure. But it should be allowed to point out that it caused trouble
for some of us, and I'm certain it is not just me who is still not
subscribed to the right pages again.
