:::That would also avoid the [[creature]] vs [[creatures]] problem - the first article needing a definition of what a "creature" is and a discussion of how to read the Creature Object Data (which needs to be included with any useful discussion of a creature!), and the second being comments on actual creatures themselves. One article on "Creature", and then separate tables for (roughly) each RAW file category.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 19:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC) | :::That would also avoid the [[creature]] vs [[creatures]] problem - the first article needing a definition of what a "creature" is and a discussion of how to read the Creature Object Data (which needs to be included with any useful discussion of a creature!), and the second being comments on actual creatures themselves.

− | I'd have to agree on how the page is being stretched way too far, especially in the biomes. I should add that, while I'm not one to enforce how people should add new creatures, I'd like to keep only biome information in the biome catagory and so on with all catagories. I ask that everyone should stop adding creatures until we sort out how we want to display the information. '''Edit:''' Also, if this page shows too many catagories I'd say we cut out the (in order of least to greatest importance) General Child Name, Notes, and Description catagories. This page shouldn't include so much detail that individual creature pages are almost useless, and I'll admit to going overboard on how much information is presented. Right now it is a pain to add creatures. '''Edit2:''' After giving it some thought I think I've come up with what might work. My idea is that there would be multiple tables placed under headlines in the article describing the type of creatures listed (Civilized Races, Megabeasts, etc.). The tables would include four categories describing the symbol, the name, where the creature is found (not necessarily biome tags), and alignment. We should discuss this further in the [[Template:CreatureCurrent | + | I'd have to agree on how the page is being stretched way too far, especially in the biomes.

To answer your question about size, the different body sizes mean how large the creature is at different times in it's life.--[[User:DUMBELLS|dUMBELLS]] 22:43, 7 April 2010 (UTC) |
