While this was an issue back in 2001-2002 when the text based mudlib was first being introduced -- sloppily at that, there was limited access for editing existing things, and presumably still is. (I cannot confirm this, and it's likely this post will be deleted anyway.)

Had the systems in place been reproduced using something more appropriate for today's day-in-age (a decade after launch), such as SQLite, since it is now featured with most playerworlds, renovations such as this would have been easier done than said.
