I'd just like to briefly comment on hyphens in compound adjectives. It's usually not correct to add a hyphen between an adjective and an adverb that modifies it. The case of "recently minted database technologies" matches this rule. Since "linkbait-free" and "title-change" are single adjectives made up of several words each, it's correct to use the hyphen. However, in the case of "less-misleading", the hyphen is generally incorrect as "less" is an adverb. The exception would be if it precedes an uncountable noun, where "less" could conceivably modify the noun. Example: "less misleading critique" would be ambiguous, so using a hyphen would be appropriate. Thank you for your attention to detail, dang!
