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.

- Optional. Defaults to a .jpg image of the article's name. If specified, use
[[Image:Creature name.jpg|250px|]]

- 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.

- 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

- 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.

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.
