Suggestions I think would help when it comes to maintaining familiars. There are so many to keep up with, & it's a lot of back and forth on my end to determine whether or not I already have a familiar awakened safely in the vault, & if it's okay to reduce it to muck. I put some stars by the ones I think are most helpful.
[LIST]
[*][emoji=red star size=1] [b]Add user's current inventory count of a familiar[/b] (tally duplicates from the vault, hoard, and familiars equipped to a dragon)
[*][emoji=red star size=1] [b]Baldwin alert before reducing a familiar if it is the only copy a user owns[/b] (determined from the inventory count listed above)
[*] [b]Add clickable element to familiar preview to take user to that specific bestiary entry[/b] (similar to the page tab generated when you search a single familiar by name; so we can quickly check if we have duplicates already, if they're awakened, in vault, etc)
[*] [b]User-set familiar wishlist[/b] (possibly viewable by other players that click a user's bestiary? Either way, lets us set familiar goals or mark some familiars as important)

I'm here for inventory count and Baldwin alert. Heck yes. Super useful.
There's already a search by name function and a few categorization filters for searching, and a "is this in my hoard or my vault" category option. Click the little magnifying glass next to the Discovered tab to find those.

... I appreciate that more than you know. I'm mad at myself for not seeing the category button *right* there, & even better yet it covers a few of my most important bullet points /happy crying
I'll update the post then, so yeah I guess my main want is the baldwin alert

The Baldwin alerts are an interesting idea. Ditto for Swipp or Baldwin recipes that call for specific familiars, it would be nice to know you're getting rid of your last one. Hopefully it would come with a toggle, though, to avoid annoying users who don't care.
As far as inventory count, there are a lot of useful applications for something like that - for all types of items, not just familiars. However, I don't know if the site can handle it at the moment, given there's at least one known bug (the apparel thing where if you have a dragon wearing a specific piece, your owned tally will always show as (1) even if you have a ton more in your inventory), and counts showing up in more places would only be good if you could trust the information they were giving.
Wishlists, I think, are also a broader feature that would work better as a separate mechanic than adding them to the Bestiary.
