On the subject of changing capitalizations:

''But, again, consistently and immediately? How much time will it take to check all (currently) 4,424 pages for uppercase headings? Do you want to do that? Now?''

No, honestly I feel like no one should be doing any of that, because I feel like it's a fruitless endeavor. The time it would take to do that could instead be spent gathering more raw information from the games, filling out still-red-linked quests, fleshing out stubs that need it, rather than tinkering with capitalization that a lot of people will not even notice.

If someone comes here to find out how to complete a quest in Siege of Dragonspear and doesn't find it, they might consider it a poor resource and never return. If someone comes here to look up Haspur's home and sees that it's capitalized or uncapitalized, I doubt it will affect their judgement either way. Though of course changing a letter is easier to do...

Like I said, I think there's already an established consistency here on that front and the fact it would take going through 4,424 pages means it's probably time better spent elsewhere, rather than introducing inconsistency.

I hope you're just taking this as opinion though, and not as some sort of directive. I can't enforce anything, and you're the admin, you can do it any way you like anyway. I am not trying to be demanding or forceful, all I can do is express opinion.

On the subject of "rogues" and "warriors," I think that's just personal preference stuff for me. It feels weird to use those designations because they are such common names for actual character classes in other games, and also...as far as I can tell or remember, they're not used in-game, are they? Or at least not in EE? So it's weird to me. I don't choose Rogue and then Thief + class kits, I choose Thief and then a class kit under that subheading. That sort of thing. Anyway, in the future when I write about this, I will probably use longer wording like "a character who can pickpocket" or "one of your melee-oriented party members" etc.
