I got started on it. Had more thoughts on "what would be useful on the page" after spending a few hours yesterday trying to make an A+ rank Soldier (there are only like 6 Soldier farms listed so I was hitting random farms and combining with any B+/As, plus adding special parents and anyone with a large amount of one type) so it's probably gonna come with other usability updates, like more navigation links on the specific type pages. I only haven't uploaded them cause I'm also working on adding Specials and that's about half-finished.
If I stick to the coding (no promises, the internet is sorta distracting) then I will probably be able to shut down the Specials form tonight, and move the data over.
I've been thinking of a few ways individualising it to the user would be useful - I could, for example, allow it to send an email notification when your monsters are a day or two from expiring (would just add a checkbox on the update form for that, so you set it for specific type/farm name). And have a user option to display all farms regardless of expiry (the data's still there, it's just hidden because I can do that trivially and most people don't want expired stuff)
I might also change the text suggestion to "set expiry to last monster to expire" instead of median one - I had it that way hoping that ~half the numbers would be correct, but having any monsters of a type is still useful.
