Please for the love of all that is holy create a Counter-Strike wiki. The two I use at the moment are extremely inconsistent.

easier said than done, this requires a lot of manpower...

Edit: On a sidenote, which do you use?

Talking about LotV, why do we already have 2 versions of stalker? What is the difference?

I don't know if this has been brought up already but I find that the "search" feature on LP doesn't give me the results I was searching for most of the time. Example : I was searching for http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/NationWars_II , but if I type "nation wars" in the search bar here are my results : http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=nation wars . I think that considering that the average joe is probably not aware, in that specific example, that the tournament is called "NationWars" and not "Nation Wars", it would be cool to try to make the search feature more efficient (I dunno if it's possible though).
(other example I ran into : try to search for "WCS EU 2014" and notice how the first results given are http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/DIMAGA , http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Strelok , and http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/HasuObs )

I personally like to create redirect pages to improve the search results but yes, it's not really an acceptable solution. We should consider using a different "framework" for searching.

The difference is the duration of the Blink upgrade research. In WoL, it was 140 seconds. In HotS, it is 170 seconds.
I actually had to fix the duration for the Blink upgrade in WoL, because somebody mistakenly edited in the duration from HotS.

Well, then shouldn't it be better to say it in one page?

We've done it for every unit that has changed between WoL and HotS, so undoing it would be heavy. We still want to keep the information of how a unit was in WoL, so two separate pages for WoL and HotS has been chosen as the best way to do it. With LotV, we will probably have other differences, and presenting information is easier if we separate pages.

Hi, not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I was looking through the categorization of the wiki articles, and wanted to improve organization by diffusing the build order articles from [[:Category:Strategies]] and [[:Category:Build Orders]] into the race specific subcategories (Protoss builds, Terran Builds, Zerg Builds)

Because most of those articles are pending changes protected, and considering it would take ~500 edits, I wanted to make sure I wouldn't make a headache for the people handling pending changes. Would jumping right in to make the changes be ok, or is there some sort of autoconfirm that you would want to set up first?

You can just edit the articles. Pending changes are rolled together and can be approved/rolled back individually or merged together.

This could also be automated using the infobox and I guess specified in 3 levels starting with the top level having 12 different match ups (PvP, PvT, PvZ and PvR etc) then next parent level has 3 (one for each race) and top level is a category for all.

To make a category a child category of another enter [[Category

arentCategoryName]] into the Category page.

Can we enable |finished=1 the same effect as |finished=true? A lot of newcomers think (and I did) |finished=1 works.

Ideally the "|win=" one should be "true" too to set it ... hmmm it's a bit difficult to decide how to do it the best way I guess.... maybe make hte snippet code say "false" as standard for "finished" to make the "true" value feel more self-explanatory?

it just makes it annoying to delete and change it to true for everyone who know how it works

But the idea could be that both would work.

How about "not true"?

That would be upping the parsing (rendering) cost of every template where we have these values. which are quite a lot of times and for this reason just having one system is ideal. "true" is the clearest way ... 0 and 1 is less clear IMHO but this is something we could have a big pow-vow over.

A NAFTA flag? I suppose that would help with North American events?

Can you list a few examples where it would make sense? (also NAFTA isn't the whole of north america https://www.countries-ofthe-world.com/countries-of-north-america.html )

Is there any player from other countries played in a Main Event?
