On Elf, I am not entirely averse to the idea of the synthesis data going second, for exactly the reasons you outlined - we don't want people thinking that our summary is KC's words. 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).

In the same way that you object to having the big grey blocks in the strongest possible terms, I object to not having them in the strongest possible terms. All the Elf info needs to be on the Elf article - otherwise, what's the elf article for? I don't think "rewriting them as a brief summary" is in any way acceptable, because the bits I think are relevant for a summary might not be the same bits other people think are relevant for a summary. Whereas if we slap all the text that pertains to Elves on the elf page, then people can read it and make their own choices as to what's useful and what isn't.

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

I suppose part of why I don't like giving book chapters their own page is because... well, a book chapter isn't a thing in MGE-land. Demon Lord is a thing in MGE land. Barometz is a thing in MGE land. Gods are a thing in MGE land. Hell, even Monster Girl Encyclopedia I and Fallen Maidens are things in MGE land; Wandering Scholar wrote them and the Order is trying to burn him for heresy because of it. Conversely, Monster Ecology (in the style the article's in now) isn't a thing in MGE land. It's... a filing subdivision cut-pasted out of Fallen Maidens.

I like articles about things in MGE land. I don't like articles about filing subdivisions.
