Talk:Creatures

untitled

Format describing should be changed to something more standard, only include basic info such as Image, Health, Damage, Weakspots(if any), even better if could be graphically shown (Bars, no #) more detail should be on specific pages, creation of page specific to each creature like what's been done for ores. Menu template for creatures also needs to be created FlipFTW (talk) 22:05, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Seperate Creature/Species page

Mactera/glyphids may be split into their own pages, or each creature may get their own page in the future. (waiting for U22 for lore terminal and more creatures) Cenrus (talk) 19:14, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

I don't know if creature groups have enough information that warrant them being seperated like that but not seperated enough by having pages on each individual creature. If we have pages on seperate creatures, then a summary page like Creatures seems like a good idea. If it gets bloated then some of the notes can be stripped off and put on the individual creature page but there's plenty of reason to have a visual encyclopedia of the enemies on one page like this. --HexZyle (talk) 05:24, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Of course the summary page wouldn't go anywhere, I like having the convenient way of reading up on tidbits of info on each of them. I made a simple article listing every class's equipment table when deciding on separate pages for the equipment, I'd imagine something similar will be done with creatures as well.
We do have an early creatures nav sitting around here. Regular dummkopf (talk) 13:33, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Cell Formatting

The cells for Glyphids and everything else are completely different. Glyphids have their own template for their cells while all other creatures's cells are created by hand. I recently fixed the Creature Cell template to stop it from stretching the site width which was causing that annoying scroll bar on the bottom.

I suggest we set all the other categories to the creature cell format. At the same time though I also prefer the manual format over the creature cell format as its less vertically clunky and is set to fit more than 3 entries. Reformat the template to a smaller size that can fit information cleanly and either overwrite the margins so they don't extend off the page or default the cells to house more than one entry as if it were a single table with multiple columns.
