Proper Categorization of NPCs (including creatures) to work with DPL (Dynamic Page Lists)
'''Bosses & NPCs''' : NPCs should be used for friendly characters, so DPL does not need to exclude them. eg. All Orc Bosses are "Orc&Bosses" and no exclusion is needed. Adding the bosses to "Creatures" category here does not cause an issue. Adding to NPCs makes it required to use an exclusion in DPL which is a requirement that's best not used if we can avoid it.
 
===Overkill?===
Actually, I'm not sure. Maybe DPL shouldn't be abused for things that can be fairly easily maintained, where it limits flexbility in editing pages.
 
Categories on the other hand can be useful for example we can pull all the Orcs on the creature type page.
 
I'm also not quite sure about the Zone categories, whether to use "Serbule" or "Serbule NPCs". I can't think of specific uses cases atm. --[[User:Gorgonzola|Gorgonzola]] ([[User talk:Gorgonzola|talk]]) 15:52, 25 October 2014 (CDT)
