At least two of the bullet points here could do with some updating, in particular.

DarkLK should generally only be disturbed regarding questions about how the tiering system works, and the statistics of high-tier profiles.

As far as I've seen the situation with DarkLK has changed, and even if it hasn't, there are other busy members which similarly get asked about the tiering system, such as Azathoth and Sera. This suggestion may need to be dropped or reworded to add other individuals to it.

Due to a glitch in the programming of the wiki, only updates for a part of the discussion threads appear in the notification bar in the upper right corner of the screen, while the rest remain hidden. To get around this issue, after opening the threads that need to be browsed in separate tabs, click the "Mark all as read" button, as this will allow the notification bar to show updates to the discussions that were not shown previously. Depending on the length of time that the update system has glitched, repeating the above procedure several times may be necessary for the notification cache to be completely cleaned and function properly again. It is recommended to make a habit of performing this maintenance at least once every week.

I'm a bit less sure on this one, but this glitch seems to be much less prevalent, if it's still around at all. If this glitch seems to be gone this suggestion should be deleted, but if it's simply rare now, it should probably be reworded to both be smaller and reflect how this isn't a weekly problem nowadays.
 
I still get the latter all the time, but agree that the former seems outdated.
 
The first one should preferably be DarkLK's opinion first since it's his name on that rule, but I agree with rewording it.
 
I will remove the mention about DarkLK.

I also don't notice the notification glitch anymore. Do other people still experience it?
 
It still happens to me sometimes, but I already know the workaround so if others don't run into it I guess it can be deleted.
 
Well, we have the Notifications page, which says the same thing, but if some people still have the problem, I think that we should keep the instruction mention.
 
The glitch happens sometimes, but not to often. There have been times I marked all as read and like 19 messages came up. With some of them being months ago.
 
Well, it seems harmless to continue to mention it then.
