dealing with inaccurate advice on the wiki

It has been mentioned that it might be better to remove inaccurate advice from mainspace, rather than keeping it.

This would apply probably to most pre-update Dervish advice, and presumably lots of other hints and tips, probably on other professions as well. The affected pages would be guides (e.g. profession guides) and advice on other pages (e.g. notes on skill pages). What else is affected by rising inaccuracy?

Landscape Infoboxes

PanSola once made a landscape format skillbox, see e.g. Shield Stance landscape vs. Shield Stance. This looks pretty good now. Do we want to adopt that format?


Actually, we're using that format (or similar) on the quick references (QR).
