It is a good idea to tag pages with appropriate Categories. For example, every monster page should have <nowiki>[[Category:Monsters]]</nowiki> at the end. You can see a current list of categories on the [[Special:Categories]] page. You can also start your own by simply picking a name and adding it to a page. Finally, Category code customarily go at the very bottom  of the page. - [[User:JC the Builder|JC the Builder]] 21:11, 29 December 2006 (PST)

It is good you are adding links to other site pages, but there is also a point when it becomes too much. For example, on the [[Spellweaving]] page you edited this, "The following graph shows how each individual spell can be cast to gain in [[Skills|skill]]. Cross reference your [[Skills|skill]] level at the top with the desired spell along the left column. If your [[Skills|skill]] level is in the green, you can gain from that spell. If it is in the yellow, gains are possible but are more difficult." Having the skills page linked 3 times in the same paragraph isn't going to serve a purpose and too many links will obscure important keywords that should stand out and be linked. Generally, the first time an important term appears on a page is when you make a wiki link. You are doing a wonderful job, I hope you keep it up. - [[User:JC the Builder|JC the Builder]] 06:08, 30 December 2006 (PST)
