 I'd be willing to help to create a page containing it. Does someone still have the code? Was it something like an image map of the coloured ascii characters?

 I was wondering if the old monster overview/quick access box, which used to exist on the front page of the wiki some months back, before it was replaced by the random game scene screenshot, could be revived at least as an additional article/page, or as an addition the the page "Monster".
-Personally, I thought that box was the most useful and most frequently used feature of the wiki, and I was somewhat dissapointed to see it dissappear. It truly was the fastest way to lookup a monster, and having to browse the long list on the current Monster overwiev page, does take more time. When encountering any <colour> <character>, one look at that box and one single click brought you straight to the datasheet of the monster... super quick! :)
