I feel that the term "speedrun" has outgrown simply gaming. I have seen many instances of the term being used in a context outside of videogames. This would be a massive overhaul to the page so take your time but I beleive the deffinition at least should be broadened. ANerd.png (talk) 02:40, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done- Wiktionary already has a definition to accommodate this at its entry for speedrun, but the broadening of the term is still in reference to the same activity, and the only encyclopedic topic is still the gaming one. ~Bluecrystal004 (talk · contribs)16:04, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any%, which involves getting to the end as fast as possible with no qualifier, [6][25]
100%, which requires full completion of a game. This may entail obtaining all items or may use some other metric.[6][25]
Low%, the opposite of 100%, which requires the player to beat the game while completing the minimum amount possible.[6][25]
Glitchless, which restricts the player from performing any glitches during the speedrun.[12][18]
No Major Glitches, Which consist of beating the game as fast as possible while not using any "game breaking" glitches.
(what i want to add) Category Extensions, Which is a mix of all random categories that didn't make it to the main game leaderboards ILoveSeaOtters (talk) 07:03, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily a bad thing to add though given it's not a category in an of itself (but rather more 'the other stuff') it shouldn't just be added as a new line under the others. And probably needs a source. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 12:32, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
