- 09:52, 18 April 2023 (diff | hist) . . (+385) . . 2764: Cosmological Nostalgia Content (an object moving away from the observer is not "further back in time" as such; they only *appear* younger because the *image* (light) seen by the observer was emitted further back in time; also clarify red tint)

- 05:04, 8 April 2023 (diff | hist) . . (-225) . . 2757: Towed Message (Undo revision 309909 by User:Kynde. Trivia already mentions 555 number. It's a strong meta-convention, interpreting it in-comic is unlikely. Add forward ref to 555 Trivia item and move to top. Move April's Fools to Trivia.)

- 11:49, 24 November 2022 (diff | hist) . . (+60) . . 2700: Account Problems (→Explanation: Mention that additional situations are described later. (I think it's best to have just 1 short & simple example in the explanation, and have the many others separate. The length-based example isn't perfect but it's simple.))
- 11:43, 24 November 2022 (diff | hist) . . (-341) . . 2700: Account Problems (Undo revision 299657 by @Cwallenpoole (already mentioned in Trivia))

- 09:53, 22 November 2022 (diff | hist) . . (-7) . . 2700: Account Problems ("source string" => "string" (I originally used "middle of the string" loosely to contrast with end of the string, but as @172.71.178.136 pointed out it's not accurate; I dislike "source" (not used elsewhere))
- 09:45, 22 November 2022 (diff | hist) . . (+2) . . 2700: Account Problems (Move @BunsenH's paragraph about C string functions to Trivia, because it is not directly relevant to the comic. (Also move the additional situations nearer the top, so they won't get obscured by the technical points.))

- 15:47, 21 November 2022 (diff | hist) . . (-11) . . 2700: Account Problems (→Explanation: the title text *might* be referring to Cueball's situation (because as pointed out by Kimmerin, Unicode includes the null character); I don't think it's likely, but still)

- 15:36, 21 November 2022 (diff | hist) . . (-150) . . 2700: Account Problems (→Explanation: remove footnote saying UTF-8 encoding of null character is zero byte (probably too technical for most readers, easier to just gloss over it), convert other footnote to parenthetical, reword)

- 14:43, 21 November 2022 (diff | hist) . . (+32) . . 2700: Account Problems (→Trivia: rewrite scenario where \0 is stripped in one context but not the other (if \0 is stripped during *registration*, Cueball can simply log in by omitting the \0; but if \0 is stripped during *login*, Cueball would be stuck as in the comic))
