And, while I'm on it, why is it that any links to pandemonium event go to a page listing the Uber Tristram pandemonium event as the only one? I think it would make more sense if the page defined pandemonium events, and then lhad sections under it for Uber Tristram and the Diablo Clone.
Because Diablo Clone isn't actually referred to as the Pandemoniium Event, hence you get to the Uber Tristram article.

Also, as far as monsters, Blizzard has made it so that both Uber Diablo in Tristram and Uber Diablo have the same name. In game this is cleared up by calling the spawn-alone one "mini-diablo" or "diablo clone". What would be the best way of going about that in the Wiki if we want it accurate?

Making a disambiguous page. Or linking the Clone at the top of the Uber's page like: Were you looking for [[Diablo Clone]]?
Ditto, that's probably the best way. Call the Article Diablo Clone, but put a link to it at the top of the Uber Diablo article.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

Question on Unique items; do we want a page for each unique, or just a list for each group (eg: Normal boots, Elite Body Armor)?
There are a couple of options I suppose.
The first is one page for each unique. That may be a bit redundant, so let's look at what form of data we have about uniques.
1. Stats
This is what Arreat Summit provides you with, and if this is all we're going with, I think we can be a little more efficient in our space usage.
2. Images
Not only can we include the regular image, but for Torso, Helm, Weapon and Shield we can actually upload .gifs of how they look in game, much the same way monster files are created. That's still not enough to warrant an article on their own.
3. Drop rates
This area is a bit harder to figure out, since treasuse classes got all mixed up in 1.10 and onward. In 1.09, you could easily check if a monster could drop an item or not, nowadays practically any monster can drop anything found in their respective act, and it just becomes useless to find all that information when it's not really helpful at all.
Other than that, there's not a whole lot to know about items. Of course, we could add a text for each unique detailing its effectiveness in different builds. Shako, Dracul's Grasp and Stone of Jordan are examples of Uniques that could get a lot of information in that department.
So perhaps we could take the same approach as with the runes: one page for each unique, and then articles listing all unique normal boots, all nightmare boots, and all hell boots.
