{{PGM}} changing to {{Puritan Great Migration}}

One of the recent updates to categories and shortcuts etc., was to "spell it out" to avoid confusion. Unless you hang around wikitree, "PGM" may be a meaningless term, so in order to avoid confusion to the casual viewer, lots of items that were shortcuts and abbreviations were changed.

The new Puritan Great Migration Template is {{Puritan Great Migration}}, no longer {{PGM}} or {{pgm}}

The editbot will be run to change the old ones, so don't be alarmed.

Thank you. Puritan Great Migration Project.

Will a Sticker be created for this project?

Or is the project all encompassing of any relevant profiles?
There won't be a sticker for Puritan Great Migration Ancestors. Because the PGM ancestors are shared by so many people, it is thought that they are all important enough to have the Project Box/Template. That will be in a separate post (tomorrow or Sunday)
I have to think hard about PGM meaning when I see it. Makes sense to me. I just noticed editbot is also capitalizing FindAGrave from findagrave.
I was happy to see that when Editbot replaced the template wording, it also fixed the formatting of some old Ancestry links that had stopped working when Ancestry changed its link formats. Now it will be so much easier to check those links and figure out whether they have value.
I also noticed that and am thrilled
Good idea. Thanks!
Thank you Anne! A change for the better...
