Hi Nick,

Thanks for your patience, it was a busy release, as many special events and series started/opened at the some time. So far I've run 2 events this week! I'll start OO1 PM today.

Where were we?

Minimum races for Cars: This is the minimum racers a car can run, e.g. the Koenigsegg One:1, is now used in HC, the minimum races are the showcase and TT, i.e. the unique races, that only that car can run. As you know some TT and showcase are shared with more than one car. Although the last race in HC can only be unlocked with the One:1, due to the PR95.0, once unlocked other cars can then race it.

Cars is single series are straight forward, these cars could even have the same minimum and maximum.

If you can create the sheet, please, with a min column and max (already exists), no. series (already exists), I can create the concatenate statement.

Whilst creating the new pages, this release, I had thoughts on how to automate the pages.

Regarding NAVBOX, e.g. Template:Navbox/Series/HypercarCharge, the One:1 was added to the series, so had to be added to the Navbox. I thought we already have all this on the sheet :) how do we create the naxbox automatically? The excel sheet needs to display the series name, then each car in that series - in the same order as on the wiki in one row. e.g.:

This would be repeated for all series, not just the new ones, the biggest being NA-SS, with 12 cars.

Once in that order I can create a concatenate statement to automate the creation of the NAVBOX, making it more accurate too.

The trick will be naming the cars, in the order from the series page, not alphabetically, then transpose them.

What do you think?

If this is possible the same method could be used to create the manufacturer Navbox too e.g. (adding the 2x Skyline to NISSAN), the source would either be the manufacturer pages (NISSAN) or the Cars page.
