Syntax

{{NPC infobox
|title            =
|image            =
|caption          =
|zone             =
|location         =
|beastspeak       = 
|skilltrainer     =
|vendor           =
}}

Parameters

Long parameters will extend the width of the infobox. To keep it the correct size keep text short or use the "< br>" function

name

Optional. Defaults to article name.

image

Optional. Defaults to a .jpg image of the article's name. If specified, use [[Image:Creature name.jpg|200px|]]

caption

Optional. Usually the description above the NPCs head.

zone

Required, will remain blank on page. The zone where the NPC can be found.

location

Required, will remain blank on page. Specifically where the NPC is located in a Zone. See below for example use.

beastspeak

Optional. Animals that the NPC will talk to, if any.

skilltrainer

Optional. Use to show if NPC can train a player in a skill. See below for example use.

vendor

Optional. Use to show that a NPC is Vendor.

Description

Create an attractive "info card" for NPCs. This is another way to liven up the pages. It also provides a consistent "at a glance" information box with vital information that is consistent across all creatures. Note that the goal is not to cover everything that can fit into the card, as that is in the body of the article. If you have any suggestions for what should/could go in the infobox, please comment on the Talk page or the author's talk page. This template will have more parameters, but is awaiting Wiki Extensions.

Automatic categories

type - shows the race of the NPC

vendor - will display if players can buy/sell from NPC

skill trainer - will display if NPC is a skill trainer

Image

The typical usage is to use this in a new article, save, and THEN upload the image by clicking the image link (which then is pre-set with the article name) If an image already exists which name does not match the article name, or in a different format (png), specify it. If the image is larger/smaller the box will expand/shrink to fit it, have to specify what size you want it to appear(see below) keep in mind that the text will only be 250px in lengh.

Examples

Don't mind that the Titles are wrong, the title takes the name of the page it is created on.

Here you can see examples of what Velkort's, Mushroom Jack's, and Sanja's templates could look like, notice that while velkort's image is clipped to 250px Mushroom Jack and Sanja are not.

{{NPC infobox
|title            = Velkort

|caption          = Velkort and the Sentient Flame
|zone             = [[Serbule]]
|location         = near [[Serbule Keep]]'s well
|beastspeak       = 
|skilltrainer     = Fire, Archery
|vendor           = Vendor
}}
