Wikipedia links
Hi there. There is a shorthand template available to make Wikipedia links easier (and shorter). Please use as shown here. I also reverted your edit to the Slamvan as you aslo de-integrated trivia. Thanks. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 22:01, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Fonts
Reverted and re-protected the page as you broke all the table templates by "removing empty rows" that needed to be filled in (which we are doing, game by game), not be removed. You can also not just try and format text with a random font without it being uploaded and added to the wiki's CSS first, which I am in the process of doing with ones that are 100% free (I have actually just had to remove a couple). Many fonts used in the games are commercial fonts not freely available and alternative free versions will be used in their place. This page will eventually therefore document all the actual fonts used in the games as well as the equivalent fonts available for use here on the wiki (and elsewhere).

 * Thanks for the reply. As you can see from the banner on top of the Fonts page, "This article has just been born! It is currently Under Construction. The following content may be incomplete and/or not verified". Some of your changes were later re-implemented by me as I updated each table (tables were obviously copy/pasted for speed, so, yes, some element descriptions lacked relevance for the game(s) they were showing up for, yesterday anyway). The space for Other is to remain provided for all games, even if it does remain empty. The version of Signpainter I have uploaded is definitely 100% free, I am verifying them as I go as I am a stickler for copyright. As stated above, I had to remove the versions of Chalet Family and Brush Script MT I had linked to, as it turned out it was a less reliable "free font site" than I initially thought. I haven't got down to finding Aharoni Bold and SF Arborcrest yet, so if you have a link to a reputable site allowing either download or linking to webfont versions, please let me know, the timesavings would be much appreciated. If you continue editing the page, please now do so one section at a time by clicking the "Edit" link next to the game title, not by editing the entire page, to avoid the possibility of edit conflicts, as I am continuing to do updates on it too. Thanks. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 23:05, April 29, 2020 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure all of your actual font identification fixes have been reinstated now, since I have just about completed the layouts for III, VC and SA. Thanks. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 02:36, April 30, 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the in depth investigation for Aharoni Bold and SF Arborcrest.
 * Aharoni is an interesting case. I can't rely on the small percentage of readers who may already have it installed. 75% of wiki visitors are on Mobile devices, so Windows fonts are almost meaningless. Especially since, as you point out, it only seems to be a Hebrew Supplemental (not installed by default). There are full latin character sets out there (example) however not yet on any site I am considering "reputable" enough to risk their assurance the licence is free. I'd love someone to change my mind about onlinewebfonts.com, since a lot of what I want is there. I think we'll have to stick with an equivalent 100% free font if we can locate one.
 * Which brings me to SF Arborcrest. Their licence definitely won't allow me to load it here. There is a 100% free alternative for it, which I am looking into using though. Not sure yet whether it is a like-for-like rename and re-upload or whether the author has really built a copy from scratch. Initial investigation would tend to be that it is OK.
 * I am adding research notes into the tables using Text to appear notations, particularly on fonts I have seen proposed but have ruled out. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 12:05, April 30, 2020 (UTC)

I'm also taking a closer look at what I believed was a 100% free alt Signpainter but I now suspect it was a direct copy/rename of the commercial House Industries font, so I may have to remove it and find an alternative for that too.
