Is there a way to move a topic from one of the Almanacs to the Mechanics reference?

Not easily. You have to make a temporary Category, move it to the temp Category, then move the temp Category to the other type. From there you can change it to the desired Category and delete the temporary one.

This has long been an annoyance. Early in my RWing, I put a large numbers of monsters into the World Almanac. Later I realized I should have put them into Mechanics. The methods I was told I could use to fix this didn't work for me, So I had to reenter them, and then go thru each of the original creatures and move all references to the new monster. Pain in the A.........

Thanks for asking, Warklaw! I was actually on the verge of asking this myself. Also, thank you, daplunk, for addressing this issue with a video!

Oh I didn't really address this. I recommended against it in case it breaks something

UPDATE: Okay I was able to do it, looks like the final step is editing the moved topic and then saving it again... it then seems to change from a Topic to a Article... thus allowing me to move it to the wanted article category. Last edited by Warklaw; June 20th, 2017 at 10:40 AM. |

Ah, you have to do it from the Categories list (Move All [Topics/Articles] to Category). Even afterwards, the list is still wrong for the Topic/Article itself until you make RW refresh it. (I quit RW and came back and then it showed the right list.) Last edited by Parody; June 20th, 2017 at 10:42 AM. |

While I was able to move the topic daplunk is on to something. While I have noticed anything else I did immediately notice that Section Labels are no longer underlined.
Closing and re-opening the program did not resolve this new quirk. |

I don't see that in my converted test Article, FWIW.
