While working on creating a better Wikia Game Guides app experience, I came upon some issues with how the current Wiki is structured. Below is part of a post I made in the above linked Forum discussion that merits placement and discussion here:

''While I think categories like Pure_Element_Monster are good for organization and structure, I'm not convinced that they also make a good pages. What I mean is this:  Besides the Feeding information, the only content on the page is the list of monsters for that category. However, this information is duplicated since that's exactly what setting a category and putting a monster under that category does. Just check any of the "monster type pages," and you'll see the list of monsters at the top as text and at the bottom as provided by the category selection.''

''Therefore, I think the feeding information should be its own page that is put in all the categories so you can link to it easily from the category page. To make updating easier, the duplicated information should then be removed from the category "monster type" pages. This will also solve having to bounce around to view the feeding information for different type monsters.''

Furthermore, I believe there are several other places that merit restructuring and/or clarification. For instance, it is clear from the Category:Cold page that the category titled "Cold" refers to the element Cold not exclusively Cold Island. However, this seems to be a point of confusion for some wiki page creators since the category was being used to describe pages that are not exclusively the cold element. I think that creating a "Cold Island" category will resolve some of this confusion and also create a needed way to categorize the monsters. Again, as indicated above, the point of category pages is that one doesn't have to keep updating them when a new monster appears since placing that monster in the category will automatically link it.

So, if it's okay, I am willing to spend the time helping to create a clear and concise category structure and to clean up their pages.
