I really love reading about all the pets and the histories behind them. I am sure I am not the only one. There are a LOT of pets we have that do not have the subetapedia page finished for them. I would love to read more about the harvesters and the Magnus pets. It is honestly a shame that all the pets don't have a page yet. My suggestion is to finish them so we can learn more about the adorable species we get to adopt.

staff regularly make new entries for the pets. But they have a schedule. Each time they release a new set of lifelike pet dolls, they make the relevant entry. They drag it out because they have a lot on their plate and if they were to try to do them all at once, everyone would be complaining because there's no new plot, or new melody items for Luminaire, or monthly collection items, etc.

That makes sense. My concern is that we have entries for brand new pets like the Zhentu but not for some of the old ones that have been here. I'm just excited for them. I apologize if I've come across as rude.

Yeah, no, the "schedule" is starting to be a lame excuse. The Subetapedia being incomplete is bad for site lore.
2018 is ending and we still don't have pages for pets that were released in the FIRST TWO YEARS OF THE SITE.
This should absolutely be a priority, and I'd rather have this finished ASAP. Hire another writer if you must, but the fact that the Subetapedia is still incomplete is a tragedy. The Subetapedia should be the backbone of our lore, and, if it was actually complete, would be a good, usable tool for everyone.
Lifelike dolls are recolors of each other, except for the Blob, and most of them have the same description. They are not the most tedious items to draw for artists - once they got the pose for the HA, it's peachy.
I agree that they should change the order and look at doing older pets first.
I also agree that it could done a bit more quickly. However I don't think it should be done all at once. Nor is hiring new staff a solution every time something like this comes along. Its just not feasible.
I don't think it comes across as a rude suggestion at all! It is something that needs to happen. Just that there are many things to take into consideration.

At the time of writing this post I've been on Subeta for 13 years, 11 months, 3 weeks, 3 days. I created a Harvester (Gwyn_Ap_Nudd) on November 10th, 2004 and a Lasirus (Drusilla) on December 27th, 2004. I've been very patient waiting for Subetapedia articles for them but I'm nearly 70 and I'm wondering if I'll be dead of old age before they are included. :)
