Hello Rik Kirtaniya,

I’m not an admin of IWD wiki, so I cannot say for sure your solution is suitable or else, and to be honest I don’t pay much attention to formatting when editing myself, so long the content is added, which I care the most. But I do have some statistics to present to you for consideration, that some large wikis seem to use italics for quoting, while still maintaining italic/bold for stressing or note, though their quote templates are usually only used on top of the article for significate words a character said (example).

I feel you when you said in-game description are often inaccurate, besides adding an to hold extra info, what I’ve been doing in this wiki is to cross-out the false info then add the correct one next to it, see here. The reason for this is that I believe it’s equally important to tell readers which info is wrong by the cross-out as is to write the correct one, otherwise readers may not be able to tell which part you’ve altered and which part is originally from the game. You may not be ok with this so feel free to find your own way.

I’m glad your request gets answered, and yes, it would be a good idea to encourage more people from BDforum to build up IWD wiki.

I surely feel your enthusiasm by reading your posts, so I’m not sure whether it’d be appropriate for me to say this but please bear with me until I finish, that you may not get much actual actions as you expected even if you post in BDforum, which doesn’t mean you shouldn’t, but don’t expect too much from it, chances are, you may spend most of your time working with very few people there, so don’t feel discouraged when that happens, things should get better if more contents are put into IWD site, hopefully attracting more people to work on it. Good luck!
