Quali/Race results to wiki table spreadsheet
I've uploaded the spreadsheet I've set up to generate the classification tables from the results page on the main site. It can be found here: Download link (Mediafire)
To use it just paste in the quali results, race results and fastest lap standings on the first sheet and grab the table from the 'quali output' or 'race output' sheets and paste it into the wiki. Note you might have to adjust manually in the race gaps column to get it looking right, as well as filling any gaps and taking out blank rows. If you have any questions let me know.
Main Page
Any chance we can switch back to the previous main page until the other is completed? Can't seem to find things as easily now. :P --Chris williamson 22:35, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Re Template:WIP
Are you not able to lock pages?
- I'm not sure. I can protect them from editing, which is maybe the same thing. Does it need locked? --Mal McKee 00:05, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Internet archeology
Had a little look around the interwebs earlier and managed to unearth some more fossilized remains from the league's history (strangely most seems to be circa 2004-5):
- Sim Racing – The Magazine: http://simracingmagazine.tripod.com/index.html (some pretty detailed stuff there and still live!)

- AmonF2 site (bizzarely owned by a friend of mine, but it never really seems to have got off the ground): http://www.number1-thelarch.com/amon/index.php

- A few random images saved from the main F1VWC site by Wayback Machine (including some car images I'll upload later): http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.f1vwc.com/img/pics/*

- Nice detective work! I remember Amon F2 - what was the name of the guy who ran it? --Mal McKee 21:04, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
- His name was Mat Cochinos, although I never knew he was involved in simracing until now lol. --Chris williamson 22:41, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
2000/2001
A found little bit more for you on 2000/2001 which should help fill some of the blanks. More info at Talk:2000 Superleague season and Talk:2001 Superleague season.
Constructors entered in only one competition
I saw you've created a few new pages for some early teams today and noticed you'd been using the just Superleague team infoboxes. This got me thinking - where a team has only entered one competition is it worth having 2 separate pages (Constructor page and SL/SC/MS team page)? Since the content is likely to be duplicated on the 2nd page (albeit with a different infobox) it's perhaps unnecessary.
I'd propose the following convention:
- 1 competition constructors - single page, SL/SC/MS infobox, Category:Constructors & Category:XXX team.
- Multiple competition constructors - constructors page with addition pages for each SL/SC/MS subteam.
Would that meet with your approval? --Chris williamson 10:25, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
