The SRD Will-o-wisp has a few errors:

1.
Its content has 2 spaces at several points:
 Traits\n\n\n**Consume Life**. As a bonus action, the will-o\u2019-wisp can  target one creature it can see within 5 feet of it that  has 0 hit points and is still alive. The target must  succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw against  this magic or die. If the target dies, the will-o\u2019-wisp  regains 10 (3d6) hit points. \n\n\n**Ephemeral**. The will-o\u2019-wisp can\u2019t wear or carry  anything. \n\n**Incorporeal Movement**. The will-o\u2019-wisp can move  through other creatures and objects as if they were  difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it  ends its turn inside an object. \n\n**Variable Illumination**. The will-o\u2019-wisp sheds bright  light in a 5b to 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional number of feet equal to the chosen radius.  The will-o\u2019-wisp can alter the radius as a bonus action. \n\n Actions\n\n\n**Shock**. Melee Spell Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one  creature. Hit: 9 (2d8) lightning damage. \n\n**Invisibility**. The will-o\u2019-wisp and its light magically  become invisible until it attacks or uses its Consume  Life, or until its concentration ends (as if concentrating  on a spell).
See between "can  target"

2.
Line break copy+paste turned into a "b"
The will-o’-wisp sheds bright  light in a 5b to 20-foot radius
In the actual srd this reads:
The will‐o’-­wisp sheds bright light in a 5- to 20-foot radius

3.
Each Trait/Action is followed by a ., but every other creature in Roll20's system is followed by a period.
**Consume Life**.
Should be 
**Consume Life**:
Based on the other roll20 monsters

Please ensure both the SRD and the Monster manual versions are adjusted.

Thanks!

4th issue:
HP and Hit Dice are separate fields for the Will-o-Wisp, but for no other creature that I know of.
Will-o-Wisp fields:
data: {
  HP: "22",
  Hit Dice: "9d4",
}

Ancient Black Dragon for example has
data: {
  HP: "367 (21d20+147)",
}

Thanks again for looking into this.

I fixed the double spacing issues and made some other formatting changes. It appears that the other issues you named were fixed by someone else.

Thanks for the report! Please let me know if you notice any further issues on account of these recent changes.

Hi Silvyre,

Thanks for looking into this. Though I believe you have changed the monster manual version as the version that I see (SRD) is unchanged. You can see what I see by visiting that link when logged out (try incognito)

I've been told you may be unable to edit the SRD version yourself as you're not given the option between SRD and monster manual.

@Silvyre:

The will-o-wisp is still misformatted for the SRD. Is it possible to have this addressed?

Thanks for the reminder, Kryx. I've passed on this concern to the Dev Team.

This should be fixed now.
