Personnel
gollark: Or just edit it and hope nobody checks the revision history.
gollark: Besides, the current focus is on random thingss like the serialization, for some inexplicable reason.

gollark: Any strategy guide is going to be completely wrong, depending on how EWO *actually* turns out.
gollark: We may have to bring the EWO page in line with reality eventually.
