From f549d6ff8fdf34394805a1ed72c2465fbe1c1d71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ginnoir Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 14:39:32 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] data: clean raw markdown out of summaries (batch 1/4) The site renders `summary` as plain text in a single

(ContentSection.astro, HackCard.astro), so markdown emphasis, [label](url) links, [[wikilinks]] and Obsidian callouts all render literally. Rewrites 19 summaries as clean prose. Several were not descriptions at all but scrape artefacts - bare `[Source Website](url)` links, `**Creator:** X **Type:** Y **Last Updated:** Z` metadata headers, or a Spanish-language listing dump (Delta Fusion). Those were rewritten into real one-or-two sentence descriptions sourced from each note's own Features/Story sections. Warnings preserved as prose rather than dropped (Clover's save-deletion note, Eternal X's Lumiose save glitch). No links were lost: every URL appearing in a rewritten summary was verified to already exist in that note's ## Links section before the summary was replaced.
