I think for the course pages we need to make tables for standard information like prereqs, registration info, which majors require it, etc.
I would agree with that, and move this page to List of Courses Dacnum0 (talk) 13:29, 19 May 2021 (EDT)
Sure, OSCAR pages for courses list the prereqs, for example this page for CS 1332 (this is what gt-scheduler.org parses). I wonder if it would be worth making an embedded thingy that would pull up the data from OSCAR (so we wouldn't have to copy-paste it and it would always be updated). or maybe a mediawiki bot to update the section with the correct prereqs once in a while. idk Registration info: idk, this will usually be a short section, and there are guides for stuff like linked lab classes that we can link to / make pages for. As for which majors require which classes, it might be a bit difficult to include all the majors... maybe we should go the other way around, making pages with info on which classes are required for each major. For example, a page on Computer Science Scheduling could link to GT official websites for which courses are required, degree plans, etc. And we could put notes / additional explanations and advice / clarifications on that page (For example, some CS thread plans include classes which are no longer offered / have different class numbers like CS Ethics).
