Categories
A few thoughts on the layout for the main page:
- No runes are listed, so the "Runes and Gems" category can be renamed
- Item-Only Skills would fit better with other skills, instead of with item changes. The items that were changed to include the skills are listed in the Uniques/Runewords/Sets categories
- The gem changes may fit better in the "Special Items" page alongside changes for Arrows, Bolts, Potions, boots, etc.
- "Monster Modifiers" is a small enough category that it can fit in the other categories
- "Monsters" category is also very small (1/3 of a page) and could be combined with "Bosses"
- Since there is extra space, the "Misc" category could be split up to help prevent people from overlooking the link for guides. I would suggest leaving "Dungeoneering", "Mercenaries", and "Cube Recipes" together, and moving the others to a new column.
- The Character Attribute categories are all short and might be better as a single category, so new players don't have to hop between so many pages to learn what was changed.

Major Changes from Vanilla
There are some changes that don't really fit in any of the categories listed on the main page and aren't listed on the wiki. I think the main page could be organized so that some of this stuff is linked to, but with it locked, I don't see a good place to make page(s) for it. Many of these changes are listed in the 2018 reddit guide by redmic.
Changes

- The stash has been increased in size from 6x8 to 10x10
- You may now create up to 18 characters per account (use the arrow keys to go up/down the list)

- Servers now reset every 3 hours (time since last reset is shown when games are created)
- The game list shows all joinable public games instead of just Normal, Nightmare, or Hell games (games can be filtered on the PoD site)
