Template talk:NPC

Not sure if Good and Evil are necessary... we already have a plethora of categories...Also, why not just include those in one template, NPC, instead of making separate templates for each case?

Well, i was toying with the idea of how to set this up for a few days, and i haven't updated any yes except olandern (just testing the template out) because I'm still really trying to put a lot of thought into what this template should consist of. I suppose one template could fulfill those two ideals, but i was thinking about including information including past alliances, skills and abilities, and anything else i could think of.. This for sure wouldn't apply to shop owners or guild leaders, but might in some cases to good GMNPC's... anyways I'm open to any suggestions that are given! Rawkus 17:33, 13 January 2008 (CST)

Unknown Race

There is already an Category:Unknown Race category, and this template just points towards Category:Unknown. Should the Unknown Race entries be changed to Unknown, or should this Template be altered?

Adding Template sections

Any chance we could get spots in the template added for Description (look when not being GM'ed) and Appearance (when being GM'eD)? Might be useful for helping keep how things look standardized and consistent. Hithrael 20:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Could it be done? Yes. However, I prefer to keep this template as a quick reference section. I'd prefer to have those portions manually added, because section headings don't play very nicely with templates.

Do you really feel like you need them? -Moderator Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi^(talk) 18:00, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Not strictly. It might be nice (and quite possibly I have overlooked it) to have a formatting section that has suggestions for standardization like that, that do not strictly need to be coded in. Hithrael 18:09, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Check the Elanthipedia:Manual of Style. I wish others would. Because it's hard to codify the community standard when most people don't bother to check or comment on it. Le sigh. -Moderator Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi^(talk) 21:39, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Hrmm. Might help if it was a big link prominently on the page. Or maybe a big link "Before you contribute, check these resources."

It might also help to have maybe a discussion and then codify styles. I checked on the NPC one and it talked about naming and disambiguation, but not about style.

New task type

I have no idea how to edit templates. Could someone that does add "crafting" to the list of possible tasks? --BlueRider 04:58, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
