Isn't tp7's MaskTools2 the recommended one to use with v2.6?

oops, sorry, thinking of MaskTools2 -- Raffriff42 01:22, 11 December 2015 (CET)

Yes, tp7's MaskTools2 b1 is the recommended version to use for both 2.5 and 2.6, although the 2.6 version should be highly encouraged since avs 2.5 is old and avs 2.6 is the official release. Manao's original MaskTools2 a48 is incompatible with avs 2.6/avs+. Also, to avoid confusion I would remove the link to MaskTools from the MaskTools2 page since v1.5.8 is really old and no one is (or should be) using it nowadays. Just my 2 cents of course :).

One more thing, on the redirected pages do you think it's necessary to categorized them also? The only problem I see is that they show up twice in the categories. For example take a look at masktools in the plugins category.

Non-trivial redirects (eg, FPS->ChangeFPS) should be in categories as if they were filters, I think; but trivial redirects like Masktools->MaskTools (where the only change is letter-case) clutter up the category listing as you say.

There is one problem: I believe a page needs to be categorized in order to be archived. How about re-purposing Category:Redirects (currently unused) for these trivial redirects - so Masktools->MaskTools will have only one category: "Redirects" -- Raffriff42 02:55, 11 December 2015 (CET)

Sounds good. Reel.Deal 03:24, 11 December 2015 (CET)
