[Wolf page] Change the way parentage on WWs are indicated

Currently when you have a wild wolf, the parents are shown as Unknown and Unknown, as the parents are .. well unknown.

However, this could easily be exploited and used to trick people by naming the parents of a wolf Unknown and Unknown. The only visual difference in that case would be that the actual Unknown-named parents' names are a darker colour than when the wolf would actually be a WW. While that is indeed a difference, I fear it is too small a difference and people could easily be tricked by this.

A couple of suggestions:

  • List parents as ‘None’. This technically ofcourse isn't true, but would be very clear, unable to be replicated, and makes it clean; in line with the offspring list showing ‘None’ as well
  • List a single ‘Unknown’ under parents, rather than for both mom and dad. Since bred wolves will always have a mom and a dad listed, having only a single ‘Unknown’ would make it a bit clearer that it is in fact a wild wolf. (Plus it would make more sense; having listed Unknown twice gives the impression only one of them can be unknown while the other is known)
  • Add more visual difference, between the name of actual parents and the ‘unknown’ for wild wolves. For example listing it in Italics and perhaps an even softer grey than it currently is.

Support. Either ‘none’ or a single unknown would be the most effective change to minimize confusion.

I don't think this is necessary? As the Unknown is a lighter shade of grey, and has no link.
Bred pups link to the parents, and the link will show up darker and clickable.
