error in dungeon writer guidelines

Just an FYI,
there is an error in your Dungeon writer guidelines .pdf
in the examples for monster stat blocks for the monster "DUALLEN TEIRGAR", you have
"Monster Manual 170
CE Medium humanoid (dwarf, shapechanger)"
which doesn't follow your own stat block template
"Creature alignment, size and type (subtype)
Creature reference (eg Lords of Madness 145)"
it should be
"CE Medium humanoid (dwarf, shapechanger)
Monster Manual 170"

I'm not a Paizo staff member, (nor have I gotten around to submitting anything yet) but...

If a creature is listed in the Monster Manual, typically a reference is unnecessary, as Paizo assumes that subscribers at the very least have the core manuals and have paged through them.

that may be true, my point is that they are not following their own template

Thanks for pointing that out chopswil, I'll fix it when I get a chance.

Actually, we do include referance page numbers for advanced or templated monsters out of the Monster Manual. The only book we don't include referance pages for is the Player's Handbook. If an NPC was built using only PHB rules (eg. an elf monk or a human wizard) then you can omit the referance line. Otherwise, you have to include it.
