JJ2 events on the ERE are listed by their JCS names, abbreviations and all. However, many of the object-type events (i.e. those with sprites) have alternate, less editor-internal names, used in Prima's strategy guide. To take two examples, what we call "Norm Turtle" is there known as "Green Turtle," and "Monkey" is "Gorilla." Presumably this is roughly as official as the enemy names from the JJ1 readme; certainly we don't refer to the TNT pickups in JJ1 as "get the dick" just because they happen to have been called that editor-internally. On the other hand, if you use the JCS names, everyone automatically knows what you're talking about. I've long felt that both names for JJ2 events (semi-official and editor-internal) should be represented on the ERE somehow, but I'm not sure how the labeling should work. What are people's thoughts on the matter?

Crazy random idea: create a separate namespace for the JCS events. Link to that from the common name in the main ERE namespace. As an example, the page "Green Turtle" would describe that enemy, and would contain a link to the page "JCS:Norm Turtle" or "JCS/Norm Turtle".

Don't really have time to work on the wiki's code right now, but if anyone wants to jump in on that let me know.

I could, I guess.

How good is your PHP?

I'm not an elite coder, but I can still do code.

I'm pretty sure that he's good enough for it, stijn.

Thank you, Gry

I don't know much about wikis; would that mean having two separate pages for many events, even ones whose JCS names are the only names available or else match the strategy guide names, or would there just be a lot of redirects? A lot of events aren't really complicated enough to warrant two separate pages for behavior and JCS details. I can sort of see the benefit of having a user-oriented explanation for trigger crates (stomp these to make stuff appear or disappear!) as separate from discussion of how to use triggers in JCS, but for e.g. Crab, there's not really all that much to say on either front.

Listing both names on their respective pages would be fine, but in terms of organizing them the pages should be named after their JCS names, I think. After all, the wiki is for reference purposes, and it makes it a lot easier for people to find it under the name they're used to.

A function to export all JCS-related articles into a help-file would be pwn!
