Most of the information in the tutorial form will be new information you will need to
create from reading the tutorial and extracting information.

Some information is provided via the tutbox. This information is:

Catbox – Categories this tutorial belongs in.

• The primary category should be added as the “The Secondary Category”
• The remainder should be added to the “Tags:” field of the form.
• The only exception are the ones that mark the tutorial as code or
video.
• Do not add them as tags – but update the Tutorial Type accordingly.

Skillbox– extract the skill level number

Wordcount - dropped
H(ours) M(inutes) – Add 60 for each hour to the number of minutes and collect
the total. This will be the Duration to complete in minutes.

talk link and mask (if exists) and any extra data that may exist. Extract PreReq
