Mercedes-Benz and AMG cars. Maybe I didn't explain myself properly. On the pages where the make and model is displayed (e.g. Minimum Upgrades, Cars Available Races, etc) I have used Mercedes-AMG. On the pages where the cars are lumped under the make (e.g. Manufacturers) I have prefixed the model name with AMG. Whatever we do here, we're not showing the cars as they are in-game as the game shows them with the make which in this case is not Mercedes-Benz but Mercedes-AMG ... so I thought it better to add the AMG prefix.

Loops. Rather disappointing response from Timothy at Fandom. I'm not sure if you're already aware of this? "I'm sorry, but Fandom will not be changing that configuration variable. Bumping it would put significant strain on our servers. We have set the limit previously in our codebase to what we estimated would be the highest possible without technical constraints.". As far as I'm concerned that is a complete non-answer as it doesn't explain why increasing the limit would cause issues. Having read up on the loop documentation and PHP (and noticing that the Visual Editor has no such restrictions and works fine, it renders that page properly) I can see no reason why increasing it would cause problems. Trying to find an alternative way of building the page would end up being far more complicated and (considering the Wiki's XML-style building of pages) be more likely to put strain on their servers! I'm baffled by his response. I've replied asking for an explanation.

Page Deletion. I've done some reading. A user cannot delete pages, even their own! Seems rather odd to me. Only administrators (or higher) can delete pages. The recommendation is to blank pages and/or request deletion by adding the deletion template db-u1 to the top of the page. I really don't understand this as it seems to create more work for administrators, a user really should be able to maintain their own pages including deletion of pages. I'll either add the db-u1 template to the top of the relevant pages OR as you suggested, I'll blank and re-use them. I guess the lesson to learn from this is to create a scratchpad Sandbox page and only give something it's own page when I'm happy with it.

Likewise, I want to edit/delete my Blog page entries and the associated pages as they're no longer relevant but I can't. Are you able to remove my Blog page (Navbox Test and Cars Available Races) entries? If you can, please do, thank you.
