It might be worth setting up the guide locally at this point honestly. Hang on

I think it'll be worth it setting up something like GitHub desktop/git CLI so that you can at least have the files on your PC, and then you can run jekyll to view the changes

Also I think it's worth making some of these notices steps.
"2. Connect your SD card/USB drive to your PC.
3. Launch the patcher on...."

The annoying thing about notices is that every time you put one, the numbered list count resets to 1

Is it possible to find a workaround for this or something? I would do the > quotes, but its as you said before, they dont look great, so i wanna avoid those if possible.

You could do a sub-bullet point instead

…RC24 guide, other misc changes

Changes to WiiLink.md:

Added a section on how to patch the UTC time on vWii, which could potentially cause a WiiLink installation to not work

Added images to guide the user along in the Patcher installation, along with more detailed instructions

Added clarification that WiiLink will overwrite any existing versions of RiiConnect24 channels

Appended instructions on how to install WiiLink on Dolphin emulator to the top of the guide

Other general additions to the guide for clarification purposes

Changes to WiiLink-Demae-Dominoes.md:

Changed the file to be more in line with the updated WiiLink guide, the updated patcher, as well as indicating that Deliveroo has been discontinued.

Referred Section III, Installing WADs, to the base WiiLink guide page to reduce redundancies between pages.

Updated images to refer to the latest patcher version, older images were outdated and did not show all options

Changes to RiiConnect24.md:

Fixed a general typographical error in Section II where all numbers on a list were "1."

Added an additional notice in Section II about potential conflicts with WiiLink versions of software.

I'm appending this to any changes and suggestions that have already been made, and am open to changing things about the revision - all-in-all though, I think this will be a much needed revision to the WiiLink specific guides.

Just so y’all know, everything priiloader related for wc24 has been listed in the priiloader page in wii.guide (including the RTC fix)

Would this be worth linking to then instead of dedicating a section to it?

I would say so. It would simplify the page, for sure.

The Food Channel is not called the "Food Delivery Channel", just simply the "Food Channel".

Changed the file to not conflict with the recent commit by removing already listed information in the intro

The reasoning behind this lies behind the inherent conflict that both WiiLink and RiiConnect24 have with each other, specifically with the WiiConnect24 channels - perhaps there's a better way to link to each other, or just not link at all?

- Change was suggested by Nova, I simply did the commit

Going back off of the removal of the RC24/WiiLink redirects as well, I'm coming to see a wider scope issue with the guide entirely where it just kind of ends without a note on the hacking process (see Priiloader after going through Get Started), whereas a guide like 3ds.hacks.guide has more quality of life features like redirecting to a page where you can choose things to do with your newly hacked console, as well as a progress note for the left side of the page during the hacking process.

That would seem to resolve some of the issues I'm running into here, where after you hack your Wii, you can simply go to another part of the guide to choose and compare services. One of the problems existing right now is that you have the inherent issue where a user just clicks either WiiLink or RiiConnect24 on the main page and goes through the install. Next, they're led to the opposite service where they may drop looking at that service altogether even though it may serve them better just because it conflicts; it ultimately reduces the guide's effectiveness, I would say.

Open to discussion on this, it has a much larger scope than just the WiiLink section of the guide.
