• I would like to separate out the missing values rules for APACHE II into another article, so that either AP SYS or Apache mean BP or any other apache item can refer to it. Suggestions?? thanksTOstryzniuk 15:15, 22 December 2008 (CST)
  • I am not sure what you mean. I suspect you are talking about the "if it's not there, assume normal" stuff? If so, make an "Apache Missing Value Rules" article, put it into the Apache catgory. Then try to find most places where the rule is alluded to and replace them with a link to the rules article. If that's not what you meant, let me know.Ttenbergen 17:08, 22 December 2008 (CST)
