To remove a lot of blank space and to make the leaderboards make sense here https://www.speedrun.com/hwvx/individual_levels , I will need to delete an entire column: the "Gadgets Off" column and turn the "Gadgets On" column into simply "Individual Levels" to simplify everything, making it just an "Individual Levels" column with a lot of rows. I've read that there is no way to "move" runs, so apparently I unfortunately will have to delete all of the runs in the "Gadgets Off" column and resubmit them in the "Individual Levels" column that may be made. When I am submitting the runs that were previously on the boards and I set the player's name as the corresponding username to who submitted it in the past, will it link to their profile and everything? Or will it just show up as simple text?
First, as a moderator you can indeed submit the run for other players by writing their username in the "Player" textbox, it will work as if they themselves have submitted the run, with link to their profile and everything. Unless the username you enter does not exist as an actual account, then it will be a simple text.
Second, what is the problem with the IL leaderboards? (I'm asking that knowing nothing about the game) If there is a major difference between gadgets on/off, and you allow both, it makes sense to separate them somehow. Are you planning to combine the runs into a single "Individual levels" leaderboard, and then separate the runs with a sub-category?
I also personally don't see any problem with blank space, that just means no one has run this level+category combination yet.
(Also also, if you do decide to transfer runs - transfer all runs FIRST, make sure everything is ok, and only then remove the redundant old runs)
Ok, good that it links to their profile. And yes, there is a major difference between gadgets on and off. Gadgets being on and off is a setting that can be changed for races, whereas in Joyrides gadgets are always on, so there would be permanent blank space for Joyride gadgets off, because it doesn't exist. Here is a mockup I did: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11HkahYNiL38RZMhF-W-02nhXio2vjlae/view?usp=sharing That's what the whole board would look like. Is that the best way to do it? Thanks.
You could simply just rename Gadgets On to Individual Levels, then just edit the runs in Gadgets Off and put them in Individual Levels. No need to delete anything. Pretty sure deleting them will make it more time-consuming to move them.
