Coincidentally, I found the page Status_Effects just after writing my original question. It looks like a good candidate to hold this kind of info.

According to the thread I mentioned above, "Before the Enhanced Editions many spells stacked with themselves. With EE, almost no spells stack with themselves, but they still stack with each other". Following your idea, we would have to repeat this quote in the page of every spell (and modify it for the few exceptions that exist). Apart from that, since we are talking about effects in general, not just effects of spells, we would also have to copy that quote (or whatever applies) to every page about something that creates effects, including potions, wands, abilities, etc. The amount of work to do what you suggest would be huge, it means modifying several hundred pages, maybe even more. It seems more practical to put that kind of information in a page that covers general information about effects.

Mitchfork wrote: In the question of whether spell X stacks with spell Y, the answer is always yes. My question is not just about spells, it's about effects, whether they come from spells or from other source. I imagine that the answer for effects in general might be more nuanced. At any rate, nuanced or not, my question stands: Where should we put that kind of information?

In both cases and several others, it looks like that Status_Effects page is a good candidate.
