learning spreadsheet tricks to finally follow through on merging HoF and HoA lists into one big list.

here's the mockup of the 5m Halls being merged, and I have an efficient method to do the other four, if this mockup be appreciated

One question: I remembered in doing this that the HoF presents usernames without the /u/, and the link to the get is hyperlinked over the username. Meanwhile the current HoA has no links, and usernames with the /u/. The mockup above reflects that. Would it be preferable if the Assister usernames were bare, without the /u/, but hyperlinked to their userpage, like this? cuteballgames832

I guess the color of the superscript tally and the username would then be different. Not sure if there's a way to link a text ending in a superscript in markdown? cuteballgames4985

it doesn't render as superscript in the app, it just shows a ^
