Template talk:Critter at a Glance

Disease

I was just updating Ghoul and noticed there was no Disease field. I am going to just combine it with the Poison field for the following reasons:

• The At A Glance list is already pretty cluttered, in my opinion.
• The number of critters that poison or disease is small enough that it's more efficient to combine them.
• To avoid having to go back and update all the critters (like is having to be done now with the Poison field now)

Information about the poison or disease the creature causes should be in the In Depth field anyway, so that should be sufficient I think. --Grindinghalt 22:12, 25 March 2007 (CDT)

Upon further thought, should there even be a poison field? Currently there are just two critters in the poison category, and only the ghoul so far that causes disease. Would it be better to just merge the poison and disease into Special Attacks, and elaborate in the In Depth section? I think so.

I agree, I've been meaning to get rid of some of the extraneous categories within the bestiary as well. Such as does not have boxes, does not have gems, etc etc.--Naeya (talk) 22:42, 25 March 2007 (CDT)

I've removed the poison field. Most of the creatures hadn't been updated since the field was put in anyway and it was just causing page errors. The good news is that the data wasn't lost on those that had been updated in the field comes back in the future. --Grindinghalt 02:23, 26 March 2007 (CDT)

Images

I added a field for the image file so that it appears inside the At a Glance box. This gives much more room for content and makes it easier to format. But I can't get rid of the extra line (<p><br/></p>) that the wiki is putting above the descriptions. Please look at Giant Black Leucro and Jackal to see what I'm talking about. Still need to figure out how to best arrange the rest of the content now that we have all this open space. --Grindinghalt 05:17, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
