:Yeah, you're right. Most of those OBSE functions can't be categorized in only one category. More and more OBSE functions are being created. So... we really need to find a solution because if this problem isn't solved in the near future... these categories could become a total chaos. I know these things are ''labor-intensive and tedious'' but I want to help anyway. Maybe you should consider re-categorizing all OBSE functions first... (but this might actually take far longer than your idea).

::Agreed. The way it is bloated, it is of no use. Better use the [[List of Functions]]. I only see a meaning for this category if it covers only functions ''designed'' to work exclusively on inventories and inventory items, like the vanilla [[GetContainer]] and inventory-walk OBSE functions.

:::The new function pages are going to use the {{[[:Template:Function|Function]]}} template that I totally stole from the GECK Wiki (well, sort of stole - I did help write the think to begin with), but I'm going to leave the categories outside the template as I think the CategoryList parameter is rather pointless right now. It'll create the pages for the main functions, with any aliases or alternate versions available on the same page (e.g. GetMagicEffectBaseCost would, if created this way, include syntax for GetMEBaseCost, GetMagicEffectBaseCostC, and GetMEBaseCostC), and those aliases and alternates will be redirected to the page. I've been fussing with Notepad++'s RegEx Search and Replace as well as some extensive Excel wizardry to get this formatted correctly, and expect to begin uploading them today.
