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 inventory has been increased in size from 10x4 to 10x9, and charms only work when placed in the original 10x4 space (charm inventory)
- 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)
- Characters are automatically permanent instead of needing 2 hours of game time to become that way
- Fast Self-Muling: Games become permed after 30 seconds and persist for 5 minutes without anyone present
- Quickly move items to stash or ground via control/shift clicking
- Slaying the Cow King no longer prevents players from opening a portal to the secret cow level
- Multiple Shrine effects can be active simultaneously
- new Move Only skill allows players to move around without attacking or casting accidentally
- Item drops are set at "Players 8" (as if there are always 8 players in the game)
- Rune droprates increase less exponentially and more linearly - higher runes are still increasingly rare, but less rare than they were
- Some areas have been removed:
- Act I Cave (in Cold Plains) is now only a single level (was 2)
- Act I Crypt (in Burial Chambers) is gone
- Act I Jail now has 2 levels (down from 3)
- Act I Catacombs now has 3 levels (down from 4)
- Act I Forgotten Tower entrance level is gone
- Act II Stony Tomb (in Rocky Waste) is now only a single level (was 2)
- Act II Maggot Lair now has 2 levels (down from 3)
- Act III Ruined Fane (in Kurast Causeway) is gone
- Act III Disused Reliquary (in Kurast Causeway) is gone
- Allies' gear can be inspected
- Advanced Character Sheet: see many stats you couldn't see before ("8" is the default hotkey)
- Options to automatically party up or permit loot when players join
- Screen info (game name/pass, difficulty, etc) is customizable and includes a timer
- Global chat system (type /chat)
- "First to reach level..." announcements
- Games can be created with a specific server by entering it (e.g. GS 1) into the third input field (previously called Game Description)
- 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)
