Verification notes

Re: Werebeast#Infecting_your_entire_fort - verification of some were-beasts too small to trap in cage traps.

  • I've no reason to doubt this is true, but the editor sounded like there was an element of doubt, so just wondering if we can get confirmation. Also, a screenshot mentioned in the edit sounds interesting, and would be quite cool to include in the page, which is quite text dense in this section. Alpacalypse (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Editor here re above post: I tried uploading the screenshot of the wereraccoon, but it won't let me upload files. I doubt external links are allowed in page, so I will post the imgur link here and someone with permission can add it: https://imgur.com/a/F0Y72ZA Scavello (User talk:Scavello) 4:33 18 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll upload the image. You might not have been able to upload if you hadn't made three edits yet on your registered account. Upon reading some relevant wiki sections, I think the sentence might need some rewording, or further investigation: Supposedly werebeasts are immune to traps due to Trapavoid, rather than size. Do you have any more information on catching the wereracoon? Did you have any webs in the room, or mods installed that might have influenced this, for instance? It might even be a bug. Either way, thanks for commenting and sharing the image. It's an interesting discovery that should lead to even more comprehensive wiki info. Alpacalypse (talk) 15:38, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
I slightly reworded the sentence in question, to reflect the current state of this discussion. Alpacalypse (talk) 17:34, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Page structure

I found myself having trouble finding or accurately referencing sections of this article that were within quite long sections and paragraphs. I took the liberty of restructuring a couple of section headings, and adding a few subsections. It's a bit subjective, so I'm just leaving a note here, in case anyone has any thoughts on this.
