Specific review on Anomalous' contributions

That user never answered to our requests to relicense his contributions. So we had to review each of them one by one to either:

• note the contribution was already deleted or replaced since that time;
• note the contribution is not original and can't be subject to copyright, like doing typo fixes, markup rework, or naming existing stuff with their proper name;
• note the contribution is subject to someone else's copyright, like uploading a picture made by someone else;
• delete the contribution;
• replace the contribution with some new original wording by some other author who agrees with the new license.

Unfortunately his amount of contributions was huge, so the review and rewriting of his contributions took multiple years. here are the details.

Tags:

• technical - technical data (like a cvar name borrowed from source code)
• redirect - wiki redirection
• moving - moving text in page without modifying the wording
• deletion - nothing is added but removed
• markup - only markup changes
• typo - only fixing typo
• spacing - only whitespace changes
• conjugation - only changes verb tense, plural/singular, etc.
• obvious - can't be original, like naming Debian Debian
• non-original media - importing images already available under another license

• already rewritten - this contribution is not seen in current page at the time of checking
• to be deleted - we agree this page must be simply deleted
• rewritten - this was marked “to be rewritten” and has then been rewritten
• deleted - this contribution/section/page has then been deleted

Deleted page:

• New Cvars deleted page
