Some changes that will be happening today or this week:


 * As discussed with some members of the team at the chat room, I have been planning to get rid of the Monster Encyclopedia pages for various reasons:
 * 1) PitchBlack started these Encyclopedia pages as a means to display monsters in their types, as formerly all monster types redirect to Monster Types. This then causes a problem with the officiality of its name as
 * 2) It has a name conflict with one of the merchandise in MH. I think it shares the same name with a certain book. But still, if this is false there's still the issue with the name.
 * 3) I find that they are better off under what their type name is in game, like Carapaceon and Flying Wyvern. The Monster Encyclopedia part isn't necessary.
 * 4) We're descriptive enough of the monster in the main and ecology sections of the Monster pages. Monsters' first appearances are also tackled in the main page. So that was what my style was in the Monster Type pages, to serve as a hub for all the Monsters in that type and to be less descriptive and only trivial about the Types itself.
 * 5) The redundancy of two existing type pages. The inferior one needs to go.

So for today I may tackle with these pages and redirect them to the corresponding proper type pages.


 * I am now beginning in creating Individual Item pages for the Wiki, like Potion (Item) and Brach Cortex (Item). My main motivation were people I saw IRL that use the Monster Hunter Wiki and referred to individual Item pages for help. I thought why not? And had a bunch of other people agree with the plan. So there are a ton of Templates to use depending on the section of the Items. I figured maybe to further distinguish the sections I should apply the same color codes I used in Monster Navboxes (Template:Navbox-MH3U Monsters, Template:Navbox-MH4 Monsters).


 * Update of the MHOL blog post. Apparently the guy handling that blog is currently inactive and the blog is left outdated. Kogath expressed concern over the blog and he said that he will deal with the blog post in the future. If there are other outdated blogs you guys would like to take over let us know in this post.


 * Renaming of Shanthien and various Shanthien media in the wiki into "Xiang Tien". As with our naming decisions with Lolo Gougarf, Ray Gougarf, Espinas, Raviente, and Gore Magala even before Gore's name was confirmed by Unity, a merchandise exists that uses Shant's name as "Xiang Tien". At the same time I deal with this I will be renaming the Frontier renders to its proper naming schemes and sort them out via their transparency or original quality.
