Use of Grammarly[edit]
Hey, thanks for taking an interest in shaping up wording problems. Unfortunately, use of software like Grammarly is not foolproof and has introduced more problems than before, as game mechanics and wording are usually not fully conforming with the English programmed in Grammarly. Please refrain from using the software as a crutch on too many pages too often, as it will result in the need of a lot more revisions. - - Yanied (talk) 16:57, 11 October 2021 (MDT)
- Just to complement what was already said, maybe linguistic softwares may be useful for the description and lore sections of an article, but not for those that contain rules, since d&d uses a specific standardize wording. Anastacio (talk) 11:33, 20 October 2021 (MDT)
- Another point of advice from someone who saw you use of Grammarly, it appeared that Grammarly was changing a number of words to British English. I don't know if there is a setting to change it to American English, but if there is that would help a lot as the wiki uses American spelling. If there isn't a setting, perhaps looking up and manly inputting words that have different British spelling would help? Either way, wish you the best, --Blobby383b (talk) 12:37, 20 October 2021 (MDT)
