Update to rename the terms to Category, Career Series and bonus series

Car Template with Graphics
Brief Description of the Project:I've been look around our fellow car racing wiki's and I was very impressed with the graphics created on this page: http://nfs.wikia.com/wiki/Need_for_Speed:_Rivals/Cars. The graphics are particular to their in game design. looking at our design, e.g. see the bars depicting the performance of the Zonda R: the speed, acceleration, braking and grip data can be converted to a visual display, in yellow. I have no idea how nfs created their bar visual, their template is almost 500 lines of code! It would be a very ambitious project for the future, any coders are welcome to have a look.

Lead: RR3 Michael P (wall)

Project page:
 * User:RR3 Michael P/Sandbox02 - New graphic bar for car data - method stopped as in car graphics are not a calculation.
 * User:RR3 Michael P/Sandbox20 - Car stats with Graphics, new medthod, under investigation. Will display in game data as a graphic, with min, R$ upgrade and max levels.

Affected Page(s): Two templates, one for the car article page created above, displaying base car data, another template for every car page showing base PR, max PR with R$ and Max PR. Both should reflect, as close as possible to the in game graphics.

Created an All Series Page

Project status: Low priority, big project.

Remove N parser for Tiers from all Series
Brief Description of the Project: Every series has N= parsers for the Tiers, this parser should be part of the template, as it isn't optional.

Example:

Update the temmplate to remove the N= e.g.:

Possibly the existing template could be retained.

Option 1:
 * New template, without the N= parser. Check every series, ensure N= is the first parser. Update every page, removing the N= parser (Notepad replace N= for nothing), change the R/events to R/events16

Option 2:
 * Check every series, ensure N= is the first parser. Update the existing R/events template, quickly update every series, remove N= parser

Option 3:
 * Use option 1, once all series have been converted, then update the R/events template, so it is the same as R/event16, convert every series back to R/events.

Option 4:
 * Hybrid template. Use IF statements to check for N= parser, offset the parsers, if N exists, i.e. IF |  |
