How this Page might be updated

This page will not be updated automatically. Here is one way to do it manually. Please feel free to change this section, if you find a more elegant solution, but this one is at least easier than editing each link individually.

• On Birthright Wiki’s All articles - first 500, mark all while holding the „Ctrl“ key and copy it to Word.
• Repeat this for the following pages of articles and copy them below the first one.
• Mark everything and switch of the numbering in Word.
• Copy all of this from Word to column B into an Excel sheet.
• Copy-past column B to column D.
• Type „[http://www.birthright.net/forums/showwiki.php?title=“ into column A and draw it down, so that you have that entry in front of each entry in column B.
• Type „ “ (space) into column C and draw down.
• Type „]]<br>“ into column E and draw down.
• Copy column A through E into Editor.
• Mark one of the resulting spaces between the columns and let the Editor replace it by „“ (nothing).
• Mark everything here, replacing the existing list with new one.
• Update date in „Statusdate“ template.

Why?

Why should we contain this page when a link to their /Special:AllPages page works just as well? This seems like pointless duplication of data and can easily go out of date. --Havvy (talk) 05:10, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
