Revision as of 21:08, 13 February 2013


In the Water demon and Escape item articles, the "ElberethElberethElb" entries were both changed to "ELBerethELBerethELB" back in August 2011. Is there a beneficial reason for changing the capitalization from "Elb" to "ELB"?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.172.30.3 (talkcontribs)

Not as far as I can tell; in fact, those should probably be changed to just "Elbereth". (I'll look into that now.)

Wisdom is only exercised if the resulting message is exactly "Elbereth", so "ElberethElberethElb" won't exercise Wisdom anyway. -- Qazmlpok (talk) 21:08, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
