Hi there Merlin, sorry about changing Candi's details

I got a note from Naji over on MalevsFemale Wrestling.org. Sorry about messing with the pages of Candi and Mary. I think I just changed them to their real names, because Candi and Mary are common names so I wanted to free up that name for another wrestler's page to be created. If I do any edits which are incorrect in the future please feel free to message me.

Hi, Thanks for the apology, which is much appreciated. The change you made to Candi did involve me in quite a lot of working changing all the links in pages I had created - Candi (Kelli Thomas) was a very prolific fighter! The change you made to Mary was not quite so difficult as she has only a limited number of fights listed, so not too many links to change. I think in general it is definitely best not to change the name of an established fighter's page as it can cause a lot problems in linking pages. All the best, Merlin

You're right, sounds good. In the future if an established fighter's page has another alias I'll probably just edit that as a mention in the details or talk to original creator to discuss. I didn't know Candi was that prolific.

Sounds like you're pretty involved. I thought there could be a few ideas that might improve the site. Like if we added Roster type categories for wrestlers who are just fantasy wrestlers, non-competitive wrestlers or competitive F/F or Mixed matches. Or added a category which listed wrestlers by country. With over 1,000 wrestlers now on the site, just throwing out some ideas to break things into different types of wrestlers.

Hi guys, hope you don't mind me barging into your conversation! I agree with the idea of trying to categorise wrestlers, or production companies for that matter, according to their activities. However it won't be easy to do because many of them have been individually involved in a number of different categories - take Candi as a good example. She was predominately a semi-competitive wrestler but sometimes she appeared in themed/fantasy matches, and she has also fought in matches which were definitely competitive. Additionally she boxed as well as wrestled. Maybe setting "flags" within the wrestler's page to use as indicators might be possible - I might try one or two experiments - but you'd need to have standardisation of pages as well. For example, to look for country of origin every page would need to have that field completed which isn't the case at present. Just a few initial thoughts. JQ
