I've been playing with stubs. I edited the template so that now by adding the {{stub}} tag, it automatically adds the page to the Category:Stubs.

I also made a deletion template, so as to give an explanation, as well as add to the deletion group.

These actions have the side effect of adding the templates themselves to the categories. Ignore them when you see them (unless of course you want to edit them).

Fixed up Help:Editing, so now it should actually be helpful.

Check out the Precalculus and Calculus I pages, and tell me whether you prefer the box template or the "See also".

Programming advice

A couple of things: how does choosing Lisp make one a masochist? Also, can you give some examples of tasks you were able to break up algorithmically.

Lisp (from what I've read/heard) is notoriously difficult to learn, and at times less than pleasant to write in. I myself have not used it, so I can't give any direct examples there.

As far as tasks breaking up algorithmically, it is mostly math, because that's what I've always been good at. You do book problems long enough and you see patterns and then you follow the patterns rather than cognitively work out the problems. The same can be applied to other areas. For example. balancing chemical equations I had worked out at one point. -Chrax
