It's a real place, and is often spelt both ways (even within the same Wikipedia article) - I just have a preference for Johns' since if, as in the story, there were two, then it should really belong to both of them

Fair enough. But, Why "St"? Isn't the cave called Lost John(')s(') Cave, not St John(')s(') Cave?

Sorry, wait - I must have missed this. Where does "St?" come from? It's called Lost Johns' Cave. Did I refer to it as St John's at some point and forget?

Urgh, note to self: Don't try to do editing stuff late at night :-)
Of course it's "Lost" and not "St." Apologies for the unintentional confusion and thanks for picking that up!

Ah, cool, no problem. Just thought I was starting to lose it.
And it is far too early for that...

I've started a thread discussing inconsistent spellings in this very sub-forum, but if the mods want to clear it up by deleting it I would understand, so I thought I'd include the spelling issues I've run accross here, too! If anyone sees any others, they should feel free to comment and I'll edit them into this master list! Also, if anyone has any experience with wikia pages, I could use a hand in working out how to edit the general structure (for instance, adding tabs to the "Popular Pages" menu for episodes 28+) N.B. These spelling edits should include the page, as well as any links to the page (for instance, the episodes immediately preceding and following the changed article) Unresolved QuestionsResolved but yet to be editedMAG6: Should be Harriet Lee not Harriet Li. MAG15 should be titled "Lost Johns' Cave" and not "Lost John's Cave" Episodes 28+ need articles created and to be inserted into the Popular Pages section. The Popular Pages for MAG26 tab should be titles "A Distortion" rather than "Distortion" Resolved and EditedMAG26 should be titled "A Distortion" and not "Distortion" The Popular Pages link to MAG18: The Man Upstairs now has an episode number. MAG4 is now titled "Pageturner" and not "Page Turner"

So, I've done most of he the wiki stuff, and my spelling is terrible. However, Onerios has gone through most of the pages with a fine tooth comb and assessed any spelling mistakes. If in doubt, check the history of the page and see if he's changed it. One of thr changes was to Harriet Li, but the podcast description does list it as Harriet Lee. I think a few spelling mistakes are addressed in this post, including the apostrophe in Johns. I'm kinda taking Onerios' changes as gospel, as I think he has a better insight than I. There's rumours of scripts on a future pantheon page (whatever that is), so I'll be able to double check when that happens. I'd be happy to show you the ropes of wiki editing, but when I get back from my honeymoon

Generally speaking, I'm going by Jonny's scripts where I have access to them and checking things with him where I can (though I must have missed that one). I'm a bit behind on my go through, though - I'm only up to MAG 20 or so I think.

I've just added in stubs for MAG 28/29 over my lunch break, unfortunately I'm not sure how to get them on the Popular Pages banner I've also finally rectified that Pageturner debacle - though I can't promise that some of the old links won't still offer a "redirected" message!

What exactly is the time separation between MAG8/MAG19 (2006) and MAG20 (2009)? The only time that there is a gap in the narrative is when he sleeps "for a long time"... and I would say 3 years is definitely a long time!
I think I might need to take a break, unless I'm missing something obvious...?

You're correct that the timings do not match up properly. All I'll say is that in this case it's not a mistake to be rectified - we are not finished with Hill Top Road.
