→Proper Categorization of NPCs (including creatures) to work with DPL (Dynamic Page Lists)
Do we need a "mini boss" category? I'd rather avoid adding more categories unless there is a use case. Though here we could identify the ones that have a curse through the use of the MOB infobox template and some DPL trickery (we have a curse parameter).
For bosses we can make some trickery with DPL to pull lists based on MOB infobox parameters: for example only those that have a curse. Any template parameter in [[Template:MOB infobox]] can potentially be used as a filter. --[[User:Gorgonzola|Gorgonzola]] ([[User talk:Gorgonzola|talk]]) 15:31, 25 October 2014 (CDT) ===Simplifying Categories (with DPL in mind)=== '''Bosses & Creatures''' : a boss is implicitly a creature, so it may not be required to include both categories. I can't say as of writing we'll have to see use cases. '''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.
