Fix-up broken CSI references

Just a heads-up that there are a bunch of CSI calls to ':modules:include:n' still scattered through the Iron Giant templates and main sites.
I'm getting Michal to make the CSI backlink list work (so we can see all calling pages that include a CSI), and then I'll go fix all those links.

Does that mean doing to other people's sites and updating them?

I think it just means updating the IronGiant sites. Just walking in and editing someone else's site (even for something as simple/useful as this) could be taken the wrong way.

The ends justifies the means
Pieter, if you did this with an account named “wikidot-bot”, then perhaps it will be understood as professional maintenance rather than intrusion.
Haha, nice idea ;-) Deceptive… considering it's not actually a bot.

Updating other peoples' sites? Never, except by rare accident (it's happened once by mistake).
No, I'm referring to the Iron Giant templates and other shared sites. Actually when I wrote this thread I kind of forgot that we still had the old modules.wikidot.com site hanging around and that the old CSI references thus still all work. So there is no real panic.
I think it would be valuable to automatically updated CSI references if a CSI page is actually renamed. That already happens for local includes and (I think) normal wiki references too.
