It's so much more important that sounds are used inventively and effectively. Sound choices themselves are merely ornamental robes. Barbarian noises can be brought later.

Alas, that happens on the mobile layout with even moderately lengthy titles.
For identifying inflectional schemes I strongly recommend people use a tag; the SCA will recognize tags when deciding what to do with words.
Personally I've mostly used the attestation field to list dates when a word was popular, but citing literary sources is the most typical/correct application.

Well, no, they're not simply longer; you made an attempt at preserving the metre of the text (and so should anyone translating them), which is an added challenge; by contrast we haven't been taking the syllable constraints on the haiku very seriously.

[quote meficat]Another issue: it is difficult to find the author of a universe after entering its page.
(For example, I see no mention of vidurnaktis on [url=http://anthologi.ca/?Cuaria]this page[/url] nor any of its child-pages.)[/quote]
I wanted to shy away from that because I don't like the idea of polluting universe pages with site interface stuff—it kinda goes against the spirit of giving as much control to the user as possible. But, as a trial run, I've added a bunch of stuff ...

Gravatar does actual format conversion if asked, so I'm not completely certain it's the same thing. And, yes, the only constraint this whole time on avatar formats has been that I was too lazy to record the file extension properly, which any Imgur user will tell you is an insignificant formality. Go forth and abuse translucency, my children!

Maps, Photoshop, and You :
For featuring [[Şerau Teršelainja]] on Anthologica's front page, since Nessari didn't have a photogenic picture already on hand, I decided to whip up a version of her available map in Photoshop that I thought would look decent. (Because a meddlesome dictator is a good dictator, right?) It's a relatively simple formula that I think should be easy for anyone to apply. You can see the whole map here:
