re: fix the slots-vs-lines wording at its actual location
The '3 or 4 wrapped lines' sentence is in isl-message-dialogue-link.md itself, not in cutscene-message-table.md as my correction claimed. Corrected the sentence in place -- a page has four line SLOTS, of which an English page fills 1 to 4 -- and fixed the misattribution in the correction note rather than quietly repointing it.
