Maps for Elite Bosses
(merged from User:Ollj)

The standards for the bestiary have not been discussed yet, but the use of maps so far is pretty grotesque :P Please could we start a discussion on the proper standard for including maps in Bestiary articles? I recommend GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Bestiary as a place for this discussion to take place. 22:07, 28 Jul 2005 (EST) Hi :-) I'm Xennon, the guy who made the www.xennon.co.uk/eliteskills/ listing. I was contacted a while ago about the use of my information on this site. I said the information itself may be used, however the maps were not to be used. It was brought to my attention that the editor Ollj has been adding my maps under boss information without my permission (in fact, expressly against my wishes) so I was wondering if someone could get these removed :-) e-mail me at chriscox@ntlworld.com if you wish to talk about this.

 * Ill only include maps on all Category:Bosses. I know the format is bad, but the information is good!
 * I'm not sure what you mean Ollj. 02:36, 29 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * Now i use "Image-" as place holder for elite-skill-bosses anyways.
 * I still don't know what you mean. Please add GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Bestiary to your watch list (click watch in the top of the screen) and get involved with the discussion of the formatting of bestiary articles. User:LordBiro 02:42, 29 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * Ok, now Xennon has posted this complaint on Gravewit's talk page, Ollj, please stop posting his maps:

all images removed.

Ollj, I got to chime in on that. You have recently edited a lot of your freshly created Boss articles, but the info on them is utterly lacking. For every Boss, you have entered the sentence "he has Skill x." This is quite unsatisfactory. Please look here for an example of a Boss article as we would like to have them. Just copy this article's code and fill it with the specifics of the boss you edit. I'm convinced this would earn you a lot more positive recognition than what you are doing now.

Subcategories
I'd suggest to add subcategories for better overview. For example, instead of putting Alana Pekpek into Category:Bosses and Category:Grawl, put him into Category:Grawl Bosses, which would be a sub-category of both Category:Bosses and Category:Grawl. I think this would make both Category:Bosses and Category:Grawl look a lot "cleaner". I would be willing to put in the work and do the crusade. I'll be going through all the bosses one by one, checking them against Bestiary/RawDumpWikified, so I might as well fix the categories. Unless anybody objects by Monday, I'll go ahead. -- 21:14, 17 February 2006 (CST)
 * At least you're discussing this one before you did it. As such I see no harm in it, so go for it.  --Rainith 23:44, 17 February 2006 (CST)
 * Errrmmm .... obviously you have a case in mind when I made a major change without prior discussion. Shame on me. Just curious: What are you referring to? -- 00:31, 18 February 2006 (CST)
 * =) You might have talked about it and I just missed it, but I still can't figure out what rules you followed for your major overhaul of Category:NPCs. I know there was some discussion with PanSola about it, but there didn't seem to be any discussion from you before all of a sudden it was done.  (Like I said, I may have missed it as that was in the days of the 5 minute page load, so I probably wasn't checking everything.)  And I still don't know what the rules are for them.  We really should have a Style and formatting page written up for NPCs, possibly as a subset of the S&f page for bestiary.  --Rainith 00:36, 18 February 2006 (CST)
