I added a link for Sk. So that the top row would align with the other rows, I combined two tables into one. I also replaced <td> in the top row with <th> so that each field in the top row would serve as a heading for its column.

@Fergus: While you are at it, could you also suppress anything that starts with 'chess' on the Ch page? That page now overflows, and we do have a separate 'Chess' page.

And why is this page hidden?

There are only two pages of results for Ch, and you can get the second page of results by clicking the Next button.

And why is this page hidden?

There was a bug in modifyitem.php regarding a new parameter. I think the same bug caused all categories to be selected. I fixed it by adding an array of default values for expected parameters.

I can no longer reach most articles from the alphabetical index. Clicking the links results in an error message that translates to "the page relays in an incorrect manner" in FireFox, and "www.chessvariants.com" has relayed you too many times" in Chrome.

It seems to try to access the URL /page/MS... , where the URL /rules/... would work.

I haven't found any problematic links. Would you name specific pages whose links are not working right?

Plutonian Test Chess, the Play-Test Applet, the Chekmating Applet.

These now work. By redirecting /page/ URLs to the canonical URLs, I had created a Catch-22 for /page/ URLs that are canonical. I have now built in an exception for them.
