Help:Monster sample page
This page is currently a proposal. Since it affects many, many other pages in the whole wiki an admin needs to look over it and confirm it. It will also be locked afterwards.❞
This guide presents the typical structure of monster pages. Everything in boxes is what you add in your monster page, everything else, including the headers in this Help page, are comments to describe what to do, how and why.
Top templates
At the very top of the page always add these templates:
{{Meta}}{{I18n}}
{{Category playerinfo}}
{{Status green}}
- Meta is important to make google and other search engines find that page easier.
- I18n adds the translation links.
- Category playerinfo adds an information that this page is a reference for player. Use Category Classicplayerinfo if the page contains information for The Mana World.
- Status green is pretty much like Category playerinfo but also adds the information that players are free to edit this page and that it is about content that's already in game. So please don't use it for unreleased monsters. This template will be missing on protected pages like the Main Page or Game Rules which only Wiki Administrators and Bureaucrats can edit.
"{{Meta}}{{I18n}}" stand in one line because otherwise it will add paragraphs between them, making the templates look weird.
Monster template
A monster page will use a template that includes detail of a monster.
This is the main template that can be used for documenting monsters. It will automatically add Category:Monster to pages using it.
Please refer to Monster Reference to fill the fields correctly. You can also use "@mobinfo <mob-id-or-name>" command in game, or refer to mob_db.conf. The number of monster points per mob is described in mob_points.txt.
Usage:
{{Monster

Info
Put here some general information about the monster.
Example:
Red Slime is a slow, aggressive mob, which is commonly hunted for money. It drops a lot of items that can be sold to NPCs for a good price. Red Slimes are very easy to kill, usually spawn in large groups, and are unlikely to be dangerous, except for players with very low level or VIT.
Location
Put here the information about where players can encounter the monster.
Example:
==Location== Wights are found in Crypt Sub-Basement Level 3.
Drops
Drops section lists all the items that you can get from the monster. Items should be sorted by drop chance and be linked to their pages.
Example:
==Drops== * [[Silk Cocoon]] (10%) * [[Butter Butterfly]] (1%)
See also
"See also" lists links to wiki pages related to the monster page, which weren't liked to in the previous headlines (so not listing an item drop twice). In all cases this is the Monster Reference:
==See also== * [[Monsters]]
Complete example
You can copy & paste the code below but remember to replace the information correctly.
We use the Drunken Lady Skeleton as example here:
{{Meta}}{{I18n}}
{{Category Classicplayerinfo}}
{{Status green}}
{{Monster
| Name = Drunken Lady Skeleton
| Image = [[Image:DrunkenLadySkeleton.png]]
| Behavior = Mobile, Assists, Can attack
| Mutations = May mutate 2 attributes up to 30%

| Job EXP = 389
| Monster Points = 100
| ID = 1079
| Strength = 20
| Agility = 20
| Vitality = 15
| Intelligence = 8
| Dexterity = 51
| Luck = 48
| Attack = 75
| Range = 1
| Speed = 660
| Delay = 750
| Physical Defense = 40
| Magical Defense = 8

Well, they're definitely ladies...they don't swear, they don't dr....er, well maybe they drink a little too much. Regardless, these '''Drunken Lady Skeletons''' like to stick together, and they will defend each other very well. These ladies have been at [[Reid's Inn]] for a long enough time to make this bar their home, so if you think you can step outside and harass these ladies easily, think again. Although they are not aggressive, they will defend each other, and they have about twice as much life as the more common [[Lady Skeleton]]s that you'll see in the [[Graveyard]].
==Location==
To find the Drunken Lady Skeletons, head South West from [[Hurnscald]] Town Centre, and from Dimond's Cove, head further South. Follow the old path to the [[Graveyard]], which is through the cutting in the trees to the West, once in the portal directly South of Dimond's Cove. Once you are at Woodland Swamp, head across the bridge (watching out for [[Grass Snake]]s, and continue directly West, until you see the portal at the end of the path to Asphodel's Moor.
==Drops==
* [[Lady Fingers]] (3%)
* [[Slime Jell-Ahh]] (2.8%)
* [[Candy Pumpkin]] (2.5%)
* [[Jelly Skull]] (2.5%)
* [[Diseased Heart]] (2.5%)
* [[Jack O Lantern]] (0.5%)
* [[Golden Tooth]] (0.4%)
* [[Heart Glasses]] (0.01%)
