- Storing Information Across Saved Games
- Lua Game Objects
- Lua Game Events
- Civ5 Asset Types

- Regarding the second link, it is now obsolete as ModBuddy automatically updates the game when you build. The second trick is still valid but not worthwhile enough while the user is already drown under informations, I need a way to address that.
- Regarding the third link, it was incomplete, it is now mainly obsolete since G&K and I plan to write a "persistent data storage" article to cover the topic anyway.
- Regarding the first link I still haven't decided: most of the informations presented in it are general ones that add a lot of clutter to the post, some may be obsolete (I need to test a few things), and it does not address the main and harder points. Finally I may write an article dedicated to map scripts to replace it.
- Regarding the content of the other sections, I already scanned all of them and created a list of the items to salvage on User:DonQuich. ;)

To be honest, I mainly put that here so I wouldn't forget about the Lua and UI Reference (old version) page when the section stabilizes; at that point we can delete the orphan pages left from the current transition. Feel free to use the Lua and UI Reference (old version) page as a scratch pad for anything that needs to be moved over and to delete any links from there that are no longer needed. On an unrelated note, do you think your bot could be adapted in any way for Python/SDK stuff on the civ4 side? Many of those pages have yet to be created themselves. --Deanej 20:29, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
