Let's observe them in MySQL:
mysql enwiki -e "select page_id, page_namespace, page_title, page_is_redirect from page where page_namespace in (0, 14) and page_title in ('Computer_storage_devices', 'Computer_data_storage')"
outputs:

So we see that cl_from encodes the parent categories:
  • parent categories of categories:
    • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computer_data_storage, which has ID 711721, has parent categories: "Computer hardware by type", "Computer data", "Data storage", "Computer architecture". This matches exactly on the database. These are all encoded on the source code of the page:
      {{DEFAULTSORT:Storage}}
      [[Category:Computer hardware by type]]
      [[Category:Computer data|Storage]]
      [[Category:Data storage|Computer]]
      [[Category:Computer architecture]]
    • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computer_storage_devices has parent categories: "Computer data storage", "Recording devices", "Computer peripherals". This matches exactly on the database.
  • parent categories of pages:
    • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_storage_devices whish is a redirect gets the magic category "Redirects_from_alternative_names", a humongous placeholder with many thousands of pages: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Redirects_from_alternative_names
    • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage shows only two categories onthe web UI: "Computer data storage" and "Computer architecture". Both of these are present on the database and at the end of the source code:
      {{DEFAULTSORT:Computer Data Storage}}
      [[Category:Computer data storage| ]]
      [[Category:Computer architecture]]
      The others appear to be more magic. Two of them we can guess from the templates:
      {{short description|Storage of digital data readable by computers}}
      {{Use dmy dates|date=June 2020}}
      are likely Use_dmy_dates_from_June_2020 and Articles_with_short_description but the rest is more magic and not necessarily present in-source.
So to find all articls and categories under a given category title, say en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mathematics we can run:
mariadb enwiki -e "select cl_from, cl_to, page_namespace, page_title from categorylinks inner join page on page_namespace in (0, 14) and cl_from = page_id and cl_to = 'Mathematics'"
Conclusions Updated +Created
  • against all odds, the experiment worked and we got DNA out of the water, despite a bunch of non-bio newbs actively messing with random parts of the experiment
  • PuntSeq and Biomakespace people, and all those tho do scientific outreach, are awesome!
  • biology is hard
  • creating insanely media rich articles like this is also hard, but the following helped enormously:
    • Wikimedia Commons to store large media files out of Git
    • Asciidoctor extensions to easily include those media files. The lessons learnt in this article were then an important motivation for Ciro's OurBigBook Markup, to which this article was later migrated.
    • Nomacs to give Google Photos photos meaningful names and to edit people's faces out of pictures ;-)
  • some scientific Wikipedia pages may or may not have been edited with better pictures during the course of writing this article

Protocols used Updated +Created
Protocols are the biologist term for "recipe".
I found that a lot of biology comes down to this: get the right recipe, follow it well even though you don't understand all the proprietary details, and pray.

Revolutionary for its time, and a big part of Ciro's Enlightenment.
But too insane, and did not keep up with internet age, and so Ciro wants to kill it now.

The Bibites Updated +Created
Unknown real developer name, claims to be from Canada on YouTube channel about: www.youtube.com/@TheBibitesDigitalLife/about, likely because he's a software developer and wants to keep his employer's claws away from his side project.
Appears to be closed source unfortunately, so not suitable for research.
Video 1. "What will happen after 100h of evolution? by The Bibites (2022)" mentions it was started five years ago, so circa 2017.
Appears to be Unity-based, if you download and extract for Linux you get files named UnityPlayer.so.
Author is named Leo Caussan in game credits at startup: www.linkedin.com/in/l%C3%A9o-caussan-560350136/, a Canadian software engineer.
Was not very Linux compatible: www.reddit.com/r/TheBibites/comments/vqk6ac/program_stalls_at_a_blue_screen/ Trying to run 0.5.0 leads to a blank screen after you click "start simulation".

Tree traversal Updated +Created
The summary from www.geeksforgeeks.org/tree-traversals-inorder-preorder-and-postorder/ is a winner:

In principle one could talk about tree traversal of unordered trees as a number of possible traversals without a fixed order. But we won't consider that under this section, only deterministic ordered tree traversals.
