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.
