On the other hand, I think grey-box-ing KC's words makes that distinction obvious, so I can also live with the ordering as it is now (which, surprise surprise, is why I did it).

Yet encyclopedia entry doesn't goes in box.

''As for the text-blocks and repeating or not repeating them... I agree with you that having them in full on both Monster Girl Encyclopedia I AND the Elf article is inelegant, but I don't see any way around it.''

Again, this is Wiki, we can link and people can look up the topic without putting same thing on sepearte pages. You said it yourself to let people make their own choices as to what's useful and what isn't, so just link to topic. If they want to read it, they will, if they don't they won't.

"Why isn't this elf info on the elf article"? Because there's link to this info on elf article, so we don't need to repeat whole thing. What's next? Puting whole block of spirit energy on every pages that mention it?

"Why isn't this section of MGE1 on the MGE1 article". Because there's link to this on there, so all you need is click on it.

Shouldn't we strive to be better than dead-tree media?

Yes, that's why we should use link instead of dumping data like it's single book. Geez, I don't even strongly object about dumping massive info on single page just to mimic book, but if you do that, then at least reduce the redundancy and make use of having complete book by link to it instead of copy and paste the info everywhere.
