Please feel free to post any comments on Categorization or Content here if you don't feel like editing it yourself.

The link to the Derro sub-race on the main page should be moved to the Dwarf page as a sub-race. - Comment by LomyrilRydrallen.

I Debated this, though technically they are a Sub-Species and not a Sub-Race. Its on akin to Drow being they are Elves but yet not. - Comment by Spenser4Hire

I blame the confusion on the developers. I guess we'll see once more info comes out on the game. =) - Comment by LomyrilRydrallen.

I just made /Category:Backgrounds, can anyone add a link to it in the "Player Characters" list? :) - Comment by Mariost10

Layout and PR Links

Was going to add a link to the Sword Coast Legends YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWP8GOixB74zWHiicg6yIaQ) but could not edit the front page.

After review of the mainpage, the organization and formatting is very dirty. Although it works and presents the design you desire, you need to not force HTML formatting into a Wiki. You can use CSS and other Wiki-Extensions to obtain the same layout and design with at least 25% less straight HTML. It will also make it easier to read for other admin/developers.

Extensions - Add

In reviewing GamePedia's Hydra-Wiki implementation, I noticed they have an optional extension that could be greatly utilized in the implementation.

The extension is ImageMap (Example).

My thought was to upload an image of the various Abilities (such as Assassin, Avenger, Beast Master, etc) and plot the various locations of the Abilities with an overlay for that specific Ability. Overall thought is to have a "hover" bit of information but the viewer could also click through on that "zone" and get more detailed information about the Ability.

Having this extension added would alleviate alot of tedious designing to get a similar type of layout effect.
