Qualification Paths for IZ/KO Events

In a recent post, 2019 World Cup - Qualified Players (November 2020), I closed one outstanding action, but left another:-
As for that second action stemming from the '2020 Candidates', to crosslink pages, I'll tackle it another time.

More specifically:-

Crosslink (in both directions) the IZ/KO/WCup pages with the corresponding QP page for faster navigation between them.

The acronym 'QP' stands for 'Qualification Paths'. To facilitate the crosslink action, I developed a table of pages that need to be changed.

Legend: Codes used in 'Format'.

  • IZ = Interzonal

  • WCup = World Cup in KO format

NB:
(1) Zonal Qualifiers (QP) for C01 through C14 already have a link to the corresponding Interzonal(s).
(2) The last event in the list, '1993 Groningen PCA Qualifying Tournament', could use a note on how the players were selected.
