	When updating reference tags (like on the [[Black Knight's barding]] page), be sure to click through and make sure the reference is still pointing at the same part of the code. As the game gets updated, lines are added or removed. For example, changes to artifacts farther up the page now mean that the Black Knight's barding entry of art-data.txt now starts on line 1175 -- not a huge difference in this case, but I've seen differences of 30+ lines, meaning an old reference tag would point to completely the wrong part of the code.
