The current Geralt of Rivia page, as it is, is honestly perfectly acceptable. However, there are still minor issues I have with... well, honestly almost every section on it. No disrespect to the original poster of it, it's still a fine page. But I personally think it could do with a lot of improvements, and since I was already in the process of constructing the Geralt page before it was published, I figured I'd continue with it using the current page as a basis.
Here's what I made.
I would like to suggest replacing the current page's information with the information in this blog post. For clarity, here are the major changes:
- Changed the picture used. The current picture is fine, but again, could do with improvements. It's in a landscape format rather than a portrait format, which is generally inappropriate for character profiles and doesn't fit well aesthetically. It also shows a depiction of Geraly during one specific scene that doesn't particularly match his usual appearance. So while not necessary, I think the picture used in the blog post would be better. If there's disagreement, I'm fully fine with using the current picture.
- Added a quote. Just to be more consistent with the other Geralt pages.
- Changed the summary. Just adding more clarity, basically.
- Changed tier from "Likely 9-B" to "At least 9-B, higher with signs". This is debatable, but I think there's more than enough of an argument to support Geralt being straight up 9-B under the current feats, statements, and scaling.
- Powers and Abilities. Changed Regenerationn from "Low" to "Low-Mid", considering that he managed to fully regenerate from a deep wound on the forehead with no further scarring or evidence. Added "Stealth Mastery", for demonstrating knowledge of techniques used to bypass trained guards without alerting them. Corrected Forcefield Creation; which is done with Quen rather than Yrden. Added Attack Reflection for Quen, via reflecting the energy of a Striga's attack. Added "possibly Fire Manipulation" via Igni, which he should be capable of using despite not directly demonstrating it.
- General clarifications, grammar fixes and rewordings across the page.

- Underwent Witcher mutations, which are designed to make mercenaries far beyond any reasonable human limits.
- Geralt is stated to have undergone further mutations that are heavily implied to have made him far stronger than normal Witchers.
- One-shotted several highly-trained guards working personally to protect Queen Calanthe, with the implication that he would have killed all of them if the fight had not been stopped.
- Fought a Striga Adda for a prolonged period of time, a creature that was previously demonstrated to be capable of one-shotting regular Witchers, and managed to survive strikes from it.
