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|300px|]]
caption
Optional. Usually the description above the NPCs head.
zone
Required, will remain blank on page if a value is not entered. The zone or region where the NPC can be found.
town
Optional. Use to further specify an NPCs location, if applicable. Joeh is in the zone Serbule, but the town Serbule Keep. Flia, outside the walls, does not use this parameter.
location
Required, will remain blank on page if not filled in. Specifically where the NPC is located in a Zone for most of the time. See below for example use.
wanders
Optional. Use only for NPCs that move. Percussa "Returns to her home at night" Firaki "Moves to shelter during sandstorms"
anatomy
Optional. (Recommended) Used to list the Anatomy type the NPC falls into. This must match an in-game Anatomy skill.
species
Optional. The species of the NPC. Sanja is a Canine for Anatomy, but a Wolf for species. Preta is a Fae for Anatomy, but a Fairy for species.
beastspeak
Optional. Animals that the NPC will talk to, if any. Answer Yes if they speak to any type of Beast Form. Leave blank if they do not speak to animals.
beastlist
Optional. Only use if beastspeak is Yes. Specify which forms they speak to in the infobox.
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. Answer Yes if they are. Leave blank if not.

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.

Automatic categories
zone, town, anatomy, beastspeak, vendor = These parameters automatically add categories if the information is correctly filled out.

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 on the wiki which has a name that does not match the infobox naming scheme, or is in a different format (png), specify it using the parameter.

Examples

Here you can see examples of what Velkort's, Mushroom Jack's, and Sanja's templates could look like.

{{NPC infobox
|title            = Velkort
|image            = [[File:Velkort(npc).png|300px]]
|caption          = Velkort and the Sentient Flame
|zone             = Serbule
|town = Serbule Keep
|location         = Near [[Serbule Keep]]'s well.
|anatomy = Elven
|beastspeak       = Yes
|skilltrainer     = Fire, Archery
|vendor           = Yes
}}
