Tipschallenge has been created to take the same named parsers as R/challenge17. Most of the template parsers are used in both templates, meaning the special event page can be created, the parser data filled in, then the data can be copied to the tips and FAQ pages. The same data is then displayed in the method historically used on the tips and FAQ pages. Any parsers copied from the special event page that is not required on the tips page will be ignored, meaning the data can be copied verbatim. This will make it easy to synchronise the special event and tips and FAQ articles, even though the data is displayed in different ways.

The Tipschallenge template is not a table, it does not need a heading and end to open and close the template. The template does need to be closed }}

Example method:
 * 1) Copy the template and parsers, with the data, from the special event article
 * 2) Paste the template to the same stage in the Tips and FAQ page
 * 3) Remove all quotes, heading  and footings
 * 4) Change {{R/challenge17 to {{Tipschallenge
 * 5) Add |Stage = and the current stage (e.g. |Stage =8) to evey event.
 * 6) Goal Description will need to beck checked:
 * 7) Remove any line brakes
 * 8) If italics have been used, add closing italics ( '' )
 * 9) Add two empty lines between each event, (After }} and before the next {{Tipschallenge ),to allow tips to be left.

Example: {{H/challenge17}} {{R/challenge17 }}
 * Goal No=3
 * Skip Cost= 80
 * Multi Goal No=
 * Event= cu
 * Laps= 2
 * Recommended PR= 69.0
 * Circuit= Cat
 * Variant= gp
 * Daylight=
 * Goal Description= Defend 1st place and win with an average speed of at least 111.8 mph (179.9 kph) without going off-track
 * Rolling Start=
 * R$ Reward= 6350
 * Fame Reward= 1200
 * Citation=

This is a start to standardise named parsers to make it easier to copy similar data from one article to another.

I hope this will help.
