Maxwell (talk) 19:00, 29 October 2023 (UTC) A question. A while back, I was doing a bunch of routine edits of the form "X is an amateur-tiersage study in the field of Y", and there may yet be abilities here and there which got missed for that treatment. Is it okay to fix those when I spot them, or should I refrain even from that in favor of hitting reviewed pages?

Speaking of the reviewed category: every link on this page is now purple for me. Some of those I might have visited a while back, before you gave them the review treatment, but I'm certainly close to done with a first pass on everything so far.

Tao alexis (talk) 20:02, 29 October 2023 (UTC) Yesterday I found 11 sage abilities that I'd failed to include in the "category: sage abilities" at the end. I miss things. Everyone does. I see that you're fixing spelling errors, but are you making sure that everything that ought to have a link does? At random I picked a file, "grey ooze," from the reviewed list. Under advantages it reads, "the defender's shield is eaten ..." There are three mentions of "shield" on the page. Is there a link to "shield (weapon)" here? No. Took me what, 15 seconds to find a missing link. I see that the word "weapon" also appears twice and yet there should be a link, "Weapons List" and there isn't. You can't be serious that those two hundred pages don't have problems.

Please understand, there's no point in editing unreviewed content. I'm painstakingly rewriting every page using chatGPT, which means chopping, cutting, pasting, getting chat to think of new content to add, changing pictures, re-adding links that were never there or were there with the original, formatting, etcetera, etcetera. Here, if you want extra work, I'll suggest this. If you go to axe beak, you can see how I'm reformatting the "attack forms" and "damage" on the monster stats chart. I've done everything for the A's of the bestiary and I hope everything for the reviewed. Take the time, go through all the existing pages of the bestiary, reviewed or not, and change the formatting to match those that are already done. If I see a bestiary page that hasn't been already changed, I'll leave it alone until you touch it. Deal?
