On the super mario kart plan thread people have been finding lots of game information, routes, glitches, links/files etc. But if someone wants to find all of it, they'd have to read the whole thread the whole way through, including lots of redundant information and stuff that later turned out to be wrong. It would be really useful to have somewhere where the latest revision of all of this information could be kept in one place. Preferably a wiki, so that anyone can easily add more information and corrections. This would also be useful for people who wanted to find out more about how a TAS was made after it's been published (rather than needing a huge novel for the submission text - the submission text could be a brief summary, and people could go to the entry in the wiki for more detailed info). This should make improving TAS's easier, since all the best info is there, and you don't have to dig through long threads to find it all. Do other people think this would be useful?

Maybe it should go on the Nesvideos wiki. Something like http://tasvideos.org/SuperMarioKartTricks.html.

Good thinking! I implemented a system like that in June 2004. It is currently actively used and found at this address: http://tasvideos.org/ As the amount of experts who would write useful material for the site is rather low compared to the amount of idiots who could vandalize the content, editing requires special privileges. More on that at http://tasvideos.org/Users.html.
