Moving info from Notes[edit]

Heya, I wanted to write this earlier but was busy with other things. I want to commend you for moving, on various pages, important information from Notes to the main body of the page (or other apppropriate sections). I absolutely agree that the usage of Notes is often over the top on many pages and crucial info should not be hidden in them. I sometimes attempt to do this as well when I encounter some stuff, but there are so many pages <.<. Good work! ~Sime 22:17, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm glad we are aligned on that! I really like how you and pretty much all very active editors have a strong common sense approach for the wiki. And, to be honest, I feel rather strongly about tackling sections of random facts, be it Notes or Trivia. Wikipedia has won the battle against Trivia sections a long time ago, and I would be happy to see the same here, even if its not that critical for a game wiki.
I mean, pretty much every single random fact can be put into a normal section, and possibly should be. For example, historical changes into "History", easter eggs and pop culture nods into "Cultural references", etc. But I guess we are not quite there yet, so at least we can clean up Notes for now.--Genie (talk) 10:11, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
