→Loot tables?: new section
I think it would be helpful for new players (such as myself) if there was a section on the main page that linked to a "character stats" section. Maybe it exists and I haven't found it yet? The "stats" section could organize and describe the different information found on the persona tab. I added a couple pages about community and peaceableness today because I wasn't sure what they were about, but I think it would make sense to have a brief description of all the "persona" stats that can be referenced or linked to other information on the wiki as needed. imo, general information pages like "stats" tend to evolve into something more useful over time as players add in more nuanced information.

== Loot tables? ==
I've been trying to update loot tables a little at a time, but one thing I think is worth discussing is how to handle monsters that appear in multiple zones. My gut "feeling" is that monsters in different zones likely have different loot tables, especially if they are different levels. For example the [[Venom Spider|Venom Spiders]] in Anagoge probably have a different loot table than the venom spiders in Serbule Crypt. Some monsters might share a loot table across zones, like the pigs in serbule probably have the same loot as the pigs in serbule hills if I had to guess.
So, how could this be handled in a somewhat organized manner? One possible way to sort this out would be to disambiguate the pages and make a page for each zone. Ie.. Venom Spider (Anagoge) or Venom Spider (Serbule Crypt), and have the main page "Venom Spider" act as a general landing page with information on the creature and then links to the different pages?
Another possible way to organize the pages would be to spoiler all the information for one zone underneath general information about the monster. Ie.. the venom spider serbule loot table and stats could all go under one spoiler, and the same for all other zones, then a wiki browser could expand the information they were interested in.
There are probably other things that could work also, I'm just starting to notice that pages could get cluttered with all the loot tables in one place without any sort of spoiler.
