Things to fix[edit | edit source]

  • Remove most use of bolding, including in headings which then show in the table of contents
  • Weird spaces here and there
  • "catalog" mentions
    • Haven't seen any of those recently
  • Italicized or bulleted annotations of references
  • I feel like I might want the Talk pages to have the portal on them, so I can navigate easier between them, but then maybe it makes it less obvious that you are on a talk page? what does wikipedia do?
