Beta-testing issues and ideas (Oct 12)

[azaky]

The following are several bugs/issues/ideas found on beta-testing on Oct 12.

Issues:

• possible cheat when using Wikipedia search on the starting article
• start/target articles should not be banned
• disambiguation articles should not be target articles (possibly allow on start?)
• disconnect when alert shows up (e.g. round finished/viewing other's results)
• certain articles are not redirected properly (example: AA_cell not redirected to AA_Battery, when the target is AA_Battery)
• starting articles counted as 1 click (intermittent, but almost always)
• on a rare case, when the delay between updating the start article and starting the game is very short, players are redirected to the old starting article instead (possibly the local state has not been updated yet)

Ideas:

• add rules: disable category pages
• add rules: disable navigational pages
• add rules: allow back (counted as 1 click)

Misc:

• new players should be added to leaderboards immediately with a score of 0
• add a visual indicator to inform which players are online
• (internal) disambiguation checks should be performed in server-side rather than client-side

All these issues (+ misc) are resolved within the release of v1.0.0-beta.3. All that's left is to implement the "Ideas" part.
