I think the Log of Unexplained Locations has a really cool format, what with the sortable list of multiple pages, each rateable. I want to suggest doing the same thing to the two counterparts to that page: the Log of Anomolous Items and the Log of Extranormal Events.
It's been suggested in the past, but honestly it would be too much hassle for too little benefit to apply that to all the main logs. The system we started fairly recently involving repeated pruning and new page opening works better.
The hassle would just be copy+pasting all the existing stuff to suit the new format, yeah? Since I feel it'd be worth it, I wouldn't mind volunteering in the near future to do said copy+pasting. Unless there's something I don't know about.
I can always try creating it as a new page, doing all the hard work, and then someone in charge can replace the old page.

It's not just a new format, each individual entry is technically its own page. So it would take more than just copy-paste.
Yeah, I know. Essentially copy+pasting each entry one at a time. It'd take a fair bit of time, for sure. I still think it'd be worth it.

Given that the older logs have a slight chronological order (Log of Anomalous Items in particular, since the entries change with time and the simpler stuff is usually at the start), inputting the new system where the entries are arranged by rating (if I recall correctly; someone can check me on that) might mess with the in-universe ordering.
I'd considered that. Having the first few items appear embedded in the page as they are now, separate from the orderable ones could work. actually probably better to just make it sort from oldest to newest by default.
I don't really care about formatting, but I think numbering the items would be nice. a way to identify the different items, so that we can include them in tales and articles without having to explain the entire anomaly.
Yeah, I really like that idea, but who would want to go in one by one and number every single one?
