Sorry if I'm perhaps misusing this thread, but I've made some fairly minor changes to the SC2 pages of Bisu, Stork, JangBi, BeSt, free and KaL which are still pending. I'm not exactly sure how the whole process of approving edits goes or how busy you may be, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to bring attention to this even though it's not a huge priority by any stretch of the imagination.

Thanks~

As for the revision process itself, whenever someone (who is a normal user) edits a page, the page gets added to the page Pages with pending changes. Then everyone who is at least an editor can manually accept the edits. Unfortunately, that can sometimes be kind of boring and not too many people do it, so it tends to follow a pattern where someone gets really into it, cleans out the entire backlog, keeps it clean for a while and then gets burnt out and leaves and so the backlog keeps building up again.

However, editors usually have a set of articles on their watch list, so if you're lucky, someone is watching the page you've edited and they may approve the edit even though they do not keep an eye on the pending changes list. On the flip side, that means that if you're unlucky and no one watches the page you've edited and no one is currently obsessing about cleaning out the backlog, then you may find that your edit goes unreviewed for quite a while even though other edits get approved. Also, some edits are easy to accept (like typos etc) while others require a certain level of decision-making, and sometimes an editor may be up for the "easy" edits, but not those that require a proper decision.

All in all, there's not really any defined process in which you can reliably predict when a certain edit is going to get reviewed.

When I update the pro league stats I have to re-order and re-number the table, but on the finished page the table can be sorted by clicking on the header, so I know liquipedia in some sense can handle the ordering so is it possible for it to number and order the table automatically? That way all somebody needs to do is update the stats for each player (without having to re-number or re-order).

I could leave it in alphabetical order and leave it to whoever visits the page to click to order the table by record, but it wouldn't get the numbers right then, and I think it would be nicer if it was ordered by default.

I'm just asking because I know very little about programming so have no idea what is possible/feasible

Nope, not possible at the moment. But if someone wants to look in to writing some code that does this, they are very welcome to do so.

I have a suggestion regarding the way GSTL and SPL results seem to be templated right now (i.e. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2012-2013_Proleague/Round_5).

Currently, when you go to a match and click Show, you get a list of the results, as well as a bar containing links to the LR thread and vods. I think it would be better to have this bar visible by default with 7 vod links, so that people can watch vods spoiler-free from the Liquipedia page.

For some reason, typing in the name HeRoMaRiNe will create a red link. I've circumvented this by copy-pasting HeRoMaRiNe from his page's title, but I think it's worth looking into. :/

that is because the last n is small and the e is capitalized, HeRoMaRinE

The OSL has been incorrectly titled again. They're always referred to by their sponsors. The first's page should be renamed Auction All Kill OSL rather than "Season 1", and this one should be when the sponsor is announced.
