I think smaller bite sized tutorials would be easier for beginners to digest. Maybe a more generalized big tutorial that links to specific step by step tutorials for individual parts?
The video links can often be fixed. With utube they changed the format of the address but if you type the last part of the link as a search into utube it will often find the video again.
If clearly structured in the way it is written a visual is not always needed.
I agree that all tutorials should eventually be converted into the wiki format especially if the original poster is no longer active.
We will probably need to convert the tutorials to the wiki eventually since many are partially dated and the original author has left mapster ages ago.

So why the trigger pages listed as Trigger/Category-Events and not just Trigger/Events?
I would advise getting help on filling out the ed, cd and preset sections so I will not have to do a dozen changes to the main triggers page.
I will be able to merge the two sections about comments.
Would the Custom Script Code section not be the same as the galaxy script section? Speaking of which what happened to that page since I was sure it was under the triggers section somewhere (or was that the legacy wiki?).
Once you have figured out what links to use for Options, Parameters, Return, Grammar Text, Hint Text and Custom Script Code I will then edit the main pages.

Was there not some way to compact tables (one of the templates) that allowed you to expand it as needed?
I meant from the main page. Have a page giving an introduction to the various elements and then the individual pages.
I would just remove classifications that lack any events.
You sure they are obsolete? I have recently heard that some of the blizzard only triggers are now able to be used by everyone (like loading new maps). Same for chat bubbles, I would get a confirmation first from numerous sources before deleting them.
With the general I would transfer it to the main intro page of triggers. The comments would fall under the other main page along with libraries and records. The logic page should be merged with conditions.
Just give a list of dead links needing deletion.
Edit: Also with such large scale rearranging make sure you do not accidentally delete stuff.
I say the triggers pages should be organised like you find them in the trigger editor. Have the stuff found in the left window of the trigger editor (elements, libraries, labels, functions, preset/constants types, records and global variables) on one page. Maybe you could combine some stuff together on lower tier pages if their functions are similar.
Nearly finished transferring all ability pages from the legacy wiki and have updated up to I.

No there was another page on galaxy. On one hand we do not want excessive redundancy but on the other we do not want lost knowledge.

Considering I revised the data main page not to long ago there are no omissions at least.
Edit: Why is the SC2 localizer page in the to delete pile? Could you give a further explanation?

Check the legacy wiki for who made the page and see if they are still active? If they are still around occasionally pm them and ask how they did it.
Also well done on beating those pages into shape.

I know that much but if you have a | after the link then you can put in anything after it.
Considering links accept spaces I am surprised they used a - symbol.

Making the actor events page was also a tedious task so I am sure you will live.
I will review the changes
tomorrow.Considering some of that stuff has not been touched since 2013 it is not surprising there have been additions.
With the old wiki it is more a case of never was transferred.
Edit: Are you seriously telling me that so little of the actions were transferred across from the old wiki?
Could you also give a summary of your changes to the events page other than rearranging stuff?

Maybe you could combine some stuff together on lower tier pages if their functions are similar.
There should be another page for the events, local variables, conditions and actions linking to the individual pages. Probably could be derived from this: http://wiki.sc2mapster.com/Triggers#Actions_.26_Functions_Database
What you mean by preset?
I agree that the triggers section of the main page could be streamlined.
