(not jpxg) I'm personally weakly opposed to using an external site for things like this due to privacy and related concerns. I would love a Toolforge tool that can do crosswords though! 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 00:45, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The site that was used (crosswordlabs) doesn't let me specify the grid -- it only lets you type in a list of words and automatically arranges them. Frankly, I wasn't planning on doing the crossword for this issue, but I was indisposed for a while yesterday and started coming up with a grid while not at my computer. I also have some concern about using a random external site (mostly because it can go down or become unusable without us being able to do anything about it). If I have time, I plan to make a better version of this template for future editions. It might have to be a page on Toolforge, though, since Wikipedia is very limited in what kinds of input I can give (and I can't run any kind of scripts from the page for obvious security reasons). jp×g 01:25, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
