First Impressions

Quite soon into my sojourn here, I noted a wee problem with the GameItemIntroduction template: it doesn't account for item types whose names begin with a vowel. It has already been consistently used for investigator description pages, the result being that all of them start with "So-and-so is a investigator..." (should be "an investigator"). Horrors! So I created Template:GameItemIntroductionAn to fill this gap. As of this writing, however, I have only applied it to Agnes Baker's page, hoping other editors might help in the daunting task of changing them all, possibly as occasion for other editing arises. Epilogue, most concise, universally applicable way of doing this would be to replace the word "a" in the original Template:GameItemIntroduction with "{{{Article}}}". When the template is used for a given page, therefore, the editor will also need to include the line "|Article=(a, an, or the)". I experimented with this and found it works as expected. For now, though, I am leaving things as they are (the two separate templates), pending discussion involving some other editors and/or admins.

Investigator Template Issues

One thing I've noticed is that the first bullet item each of Fixed and Random Possessions is emboldened whereas following items (if any) in those categories are not. Is this evidence of a Wiki markup bug, or incorrect implementation? At some point I will begin experimenting to find out (don't be alarmed: I will undo anything with harmful effects).
