Hi, I went through how this Statistics project for A8 boxes/cards is implemented and I must say, good job! :) I wonder now what are your plans for the near future, if you've got a moment...

1. Data contributions automation. Do you still plan to make the boxes data contributions easier, for both contributors and for you, the data admins? I think it would be great to be able to easily fill the data into a table and to have them in the form usable for database import. An Excel sheet was mentioned for this in a previous thread...

2. Raw boxes data stored in a database, right? I couldn't find this on the project's pages. Is it that you yourself update the statistics in the boxes template pages and you've got the "raw" data stored in your database somewhere? Do you plan to mention this somewhere?

3. Using a similar approach for cars stats? In the comments below the Nitro Efficiency Index, you can see we've got a short discussion about keeping the cars data at one place and make various lists (like the Index) from them. I did some research and it seems there are probably 2 posibilities: a) rewrite the cars pages, so they use templates as the boxes pages do, b) use a MediaWiki extension like PageVariable which is possibly the only acceptable extension for this purpose here on Fandom. What do you think? And do you think it's worth the effort? I have some doubts about it ;)
