Talk:Monster Manuel (Entries)

Wouldn't it be better if we added it to the monster template? Spread it out, because, DANG, this page is going to be HUGE. --Johnny Treehugger 02:27, 19 September 2012 (CEST)

• Certainly this page will need to be split into several pages (although that is an established strategy for large pages). I wasn't sure if adding a new section to each monster would be better than this, but decided this centralized the editing. Perhaps a discussion is required? Another question to consider is whether we should modify attack/defense/hp in the Data pages to match the manuel entries... --Fig bucket 02:33, 19 September 2012 (CEST)
  • I edited one monster data to match the Manuel entry. Should I not have done that? --Poit Narf 02:49, 19 September 2012 (CEST)
    • Not a big problem. I'm likely being a bit over-cautious---it's not clear how accurate the data is, and it would be nice to have confirmation that everyone gets the same values, or to figure out what variance the manuel data has. --Fig bucket 03:00, 19 September 2012 (CEST)
  • The existing Monster Compendium can likely be deprecated by this. --Flargen 03:47, 19 September 2012 (CEST)
    • We could merge the two.--Toffile 04:48, 19 September 2012 (CEST)

How are scaling monster handled?--Shademaster00 04:04, 19 September 2012 (CEST)

• Baa'baa'bu'ran shows up as a 0/0/0 monster for me. I haven't fought any others.--Toffile 04:48, 19 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Black-and-White-Ops Penguin shows up as 0/0/0 for me, having fought it once. --Turing 05:26, 19 September 2012 (CEST)
    • Hipster combats, black crayon monsters and a few others are also showing the same results. I suppose 0/0/0 simply means that they scale? --Volc 06:50, 19 September 2012 (CEST)

So I think we should add a link to the monsters on the pictures, because having large blue bolded text everywhere would look kinda ugly. --JohnAnon 08:19, 19 September 2012 (CEST)

1 win gives "casually researched" and the stats, 2 wins gives thoroughly researched, and 3-5? wins exhaustively researched --Christog 12:54, 19 September 2012 (CEST)

Naming issues

What should we do when the monster name isn't the same as in the Manuel? (example: "THE Guy Made Of Bees" is under G as "Guy Made Of Bees")
Is it possible to add an extra option in the template for a different name? (example: the link [[place|text]] goes to "place" but the link says "text") --Christog 14:32, 19 September 2012 (CEST)
