Worthy of consideration

• "Editors are encouraged to add an archive link as a part of each citation..." Please. Doing so helps prevent link rot.
• Countering Systemic Bias on Wikipedia
• On redirects
  • Essay countering the "Pandora's Box" argument
  • Keeping redirects - "If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do."
• "You can contribute to Wikipedia without needing to know what the rules are." — glad that's the case.

Questions to which I would like answers

Data duplication

How can I avoid data duplication in a table such as the one here? Is there a way to store/use a value into/from a variable? In the example cited, I am duplicating data three times in each row. There must be a better way!

How to hide entire rows of a table?

I hid individual cells of a table here. How can I hide entire rows?
