 too many categories for Speedrun: What does this mean? All the categories we've written about are listed on the COMPET-N site. Ryan W 01:25, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * Speedrun is in categories UV speed | Pacifist | Tyson; each of these categories has no other articles in them. The relationship between UV speed | Pacifist | Tyson should really be the other way around: Tyson is a variety of speedrun, speedrun is not a variety of Tyson. So, the Speedrun article should not be in Category Tyson, but a tyson article should be in category speedrun (and a tyson category should exist if more than one article could be described as belonging in that category). -- Jdowland 11:19, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree, especially the part in parentheses. I can see putting the pioneers of a particular COMPET-N style into that style's category (e.g. George Bell and Daniel Lindgren for Tyson), but our biographical articles are nowhere near that complete yet.  Also, we might conceivably write tutorial articles on how to play in a certain style &mdash; but we haven't yet, and at the rate we're going, we won't do so for at least 2 or 3 years.

Done. :>   (I left the title of "GoldenEye Doom2" alone, since that seems to be how the authors spell it.)   Ryan W 01:56, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Fixed all the ambiguous links to BSP. Bloodshedder 04:00, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

''I'm busy writing a tool to make the following mass-edits (and similar) trivial. . . '' Would that work on something like this? I dislike asking favors which involve programming languages I myself ought to know, but the operation in question looks hellaciously difficult using only MediaWiki, because it involves finding all instances of a string that can't be searched for (namely, ''' Ryan W 03:55, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


 * As it stands, getting all links from a page and replacing any w: with Wikipedia: is fine, submitting is broken though. If I can fix submitting that should be possible. I'll take a look. -- Jdowland 09:19, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
