Hi CrazyTriangle333,


 * 1) It's good to hear someone else's thought's on this. Personally, I chose the table format for myself because it was fast and did not require a real database at the beginning&mdash;which backfires now as my Excel sheet has become incredibly slow when filtering nearly 14,000 cards. Also I still think Excel tables are better organised if you keep track of boxes for a longer time and want to send a large amount. Some users send 1,000 cards at once which they have collected over weeks, so one input field does not work here. But for once-in-a-while contributions which are done immediately after the box opening, your code would be a very nice tool.
 * 2) Yes, of course this is possible, but you'd always have to keep track of changes in my Excel original table. Standard columns don't change very often for now, but they surely will when Pro Kits have gone and there are new boxes for the Kit cards. To sum it up: A real database would be the best solution. You could enter data in table format or with autocomplete, doesn't matter. I think I'll have to ask Fandom staff some day after the great restructuring is done if we can host a database here on Fandom. This would be ideal. We could have input fields that directly feed the database, be it in table format or text format.
 * 3) Personal JS: It's quite simple, you just have to click one checkbox in your profile. If you want to see what I'm doing in the background: We have already have live countdowns. You can follow the instructions below which I wrote for another user. Then you're a JS beta tester. :) You can write your own functions on your common.js page then. BUT: Are you familiar with JQuery? You have to somehow hook JS functions to a wiki page, otherwise they won't work. I've mostly copied the hooks from the original script; I didn't have the time yet to explore that more thoroughly. Anyway, here's the instructions. If you just want to activate your personal JS without having live countdowns, you just need to activate the checkbox.


 * 1) Open Tile multiplayer global bonus and leave the browser tab open.
 * 2) Go to Special:MyPage/common.js. This page doesn't exist yet. Create it.
 * 3) Go to User:Guy Bukzi Montag/common.js. Copy the whole code to your common.js file and publish it.
 * 4) Go to Special:Preferences. In the section Advanced display options, check the box Enable personal JavaScript.
 * 5) Go back to the browser tab with Tile multiplayer global bonus and click on the template's Refresh link. The link will disappear. Instead, a countdown until the end of the current MP season is added, and the countdown for the global bonus switches from "days" to an Asphalt format (days and hours, or hours and minutes if days < 0). No more refreshing!


 * All times are given in UTC, but the countdowns should be synchronous with your local time. The MP countdown should by also exactly the same as your in-game display.
 * The Events section of Sixth Anniversary Update should now show a countdown after the MP season as well. Also the Asphalt Wiki main page.

Maybe some pages are still cached on your computer. In some cases you'll have to press Ctrl + F5 (Firefox) to clear the cache and load the live countdowns.
