Lack of variations[edit]

Is there any way to remove the variations section from the infobox since giant desert scorpions don't have variations? I added a note to the article, but I couldn't figure out how to edit the infobox. --Cali (talk) 22:14, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

The parameter you're looking for is vary=no. —Lethosor (talk) 23:35, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Aha! Thanks a bunch. :) --Cali (talk) 00:17, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Raws[edit]

The raws for the creature should stay on this article. The article itself says that the raws are provided "by this page" without actually providing the raws. The raws I posted here are also NOT identical to the raws on the old wiki versions as those are outdated and the newer ones can't really be found anywhere unless you manually download one of the old 40.-42. versions. Frankly, I see no reason why you would remove specifically only the raws from this page while keeping the rest up. Besides this, if anyone who knows more about wiki coding could make that text box look a bit prettier, would be nice. --Death Dragon (talk) 21:06, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

The wiki generally strives to be an up-to-date resource for the official game. Giant desert scorpions were officially removed; there are no official raws to present. Manually adding in outdated raws gives users the impression that the raws are still in the game (they're not). It may also lead to a maintenance problem if new giant desert scorpions are introduced: the wiki will still present the out-of-date, manually-added, unofficial raws, which might fool editors into thinking the raws have already been updated, leaving the incorrect raws posted.
I wasn't aware that the raws had changed since v0.34, but it appears there are a few changes. I will move the raws to mod:giant desert scorpion so there won't be any confusion about them being official.--Loci (talk) 00:50, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
