Category talk:Bestiary

Should there be a "Fleshy" category? A lot of spells and skills depend on the opponent having flesh.

I don't know if there should be a "fleshy" category. Perhaps some indicator though. 04:24, 19 Jun 2005 (EST)

I'm sorry, I messed up again when trying to create the subcategory "Grawl" (like previously with "Dwarves"). I see I'm not the only one with this problem, though ;) Is there a way to get rid of the article with the same name? Do we want to get rid of those double entries? I think it's redundand and not needed. --84.175.121.61 08:28, 29 Jun 2005 (EST)

I'm working on a COMPLETE beastiary master list. Can we please agree that ALL beastiary sub-category names shall be in PLURAL?! So for example the category name "Ettin" should be "Ettins" (with plural -s) --Tetris L 22:49, 11 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * I think elsewhere it was decided that all category names (for everything, not just mobs) were to be singular. --Fyren 01:46, 12 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * The category thing I mentioned a month ago got re-decided, categories should be plural. Just noting. --Fyren 05:08, 16 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I also suggest to make the singular expression the main entry and the plural expression a redirect. this would be in accordance to Wikipedia. (example: [Wikipedia: Dog(s)]) --drone9 22:54, 15 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * nevermind. should have not only looked at Subcategories... --drone9 22:55, 15 Aug 2005 (EST)

Ollj, this IS the category of all the creatures in Tyria, including humans and fungus. :) --Karlos 09:05, 28 Jul 2005 (EST)

I think this category needa a major work over. Currently we have some creatures organized in subcategories, some directly in the master category "Bestiary" (which is partially my fault and which I just learned is wrong). We have some subcategories in plural and some in singular, also some duplicates in both plural and singular. We have a subcategory "Ice Imps" with two Ice Imp bosses in it, as well as a subcategory "Imps". In one word: This is chaos. But before I go ahead and try to tidy this mess up a bit I'd like to know what exactly is the consensus. OK, points 1 and 2 have already been agreed on, I think. Number 3 shouldn't be much of a problem either. Any thoughts? Did I miss something? --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 18:19, 6 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * 1) Don't put any creatures directly into "Bestiary" but put them into the appropriate subcategory and put that subcategory into Bestiary". I.e. Ice Imps have Category:Imps and that category has Category:Bestiary.
 * 2) Subcategories should be plural.
 * 3) No sub-subcategories. Ice Imps are Imps, too.


 * My 2 cents (ignoring anything that has been agreed upon in the past):
 * I prefer items to be in the main category as well as the sub-category. This is not specific to Bestiary. For example I think that Heal Other should be listed under category:Monk Skills as well as category:Healing Prayers, even though Healing Prayers is a sub-category of Monk Skills.
 * ALL category names should be in plural. Again, this goes not only for Bestiary.
 * There are some few cases in Bestiary where we need a second branch level in the category tree. For example:
 * category:Bestiary
 * category:Centaurs
 * category:Shiverpeak Centaurs
 * Shiverpeak Longbow
 * Shiverpeak Protector
 * Shiverpeak Warrior
 * On a side note, long time ago I created the page Creatures, trying to create a Bestiary masterlist, simular to the Locations Master List. I never completed the list, it is incomplete and under construction. --Tetris L 18:47, 6 Sep 2005 (EST)
