Template talk:Creature Summary

Unused Parameters

The pron and tribe parameters are never used for Creature Summary anywhere, if no one objects I'll remove the coding for them. sells is also unused but since buys is used for some creatures it makes sense to leave it. ‒ Joram↝Talk 01:52, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

The pronounciation is no longer given for creatures and NPCs, so that parameter can be removed. The tribe parameter might still be needed in the case that a creature page is made for a Goblin. --Timenn-<talk> 10:41, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Thx Timenn. pron is gone now. ‒ Joram↝Talk 22:05, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Stamina (Skyrim)

Creatures in Skyrim have stamina, so i think an extra optional parameter for this value is necessary --Psychomc 20:39, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Most creatures in the Skyrim namespace already use the stamina parameter, so I added the parameter like it was done for the NPC Summary template. --Alfwyn (talk) 17:13, 1 October 2012 (GMT)

Respawn Parameter?

We seem to lack a respawn parameter for creatures, despite several creatures carrying this tag. Why is this? LoftedAphid86_⚕ 08:26, 24 December 2012 (GMT)

Well, the basic problem is, that there is no real distinction between creatures and NPCs anymore. So all the parameteres supported for NPCs would need adding to this template. The better alternative may be to add a "creature=1" parameter to the NPC Summary and use that instead. --Alfwyn (talk) 17:12, 27 December 2012 (GMT)

I think it's worth adding a "respawn" parameter for now if we don't use the alternative Alfwyn's suggesting, but if we do use that alternative, can someone go ahead and do so soon? The respawn status is something noteable enough to display in the summary box, especially for "unique" creatures that respawn. — ABCface^◥ 15:25, 7 January 2013 (GMT)

nocat

Can someone add a nocat parameter here like for NPCs. Its needed for pages like Unused NPCs where creatures are listed too. Silence is Golden^{Break the Silence} 01:24, 14 February 2014 (GMT)

Done. – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 05:37, 14 February 2014 (GMT)

Is This Still Needed?

As the title says, is this template still needed? Only 352 pages link to it right now. Nearly every editor I have seen has been using NPC Summary instead, which seems to work quite well. I am willing to edit all of the current pages that have it, although I think a bot doing that would be much nicer. :) ~ Ad intellige ^(talk) 22:48, 6 July 2014 (GMT)

Yes, this is needed for creature pages outside ESO. Silence is Golden^{Break the Silence} 22:53, 6 July 2014 (GMT)

Why is this not used for ESO, as well? ~ Ad intellige ^(talk) 23:00, 6 July 2014 (GMT)

Because like the normal NPC version, it autodisplays boxes that cannot be filled in. Silence is Golden^{Break the Silence} 23:18, 6 July 2014 (GMT)
