Talk:NPCs
- Consider only entering NPCs by the first letter of their first name only,
i.e: Ben Ten is only listed under B and not under T as well, this is for the purpose of clarity / redundancy.
--An Adventurer 20:40, 16 November 2007 (CST)Idea for the NPC page (posted on the forums but I will add it here as well):
Instead of the current setup of having 1 page for each letter and listing NPCs by the first letter of their name, why not create a large table with the following categories: name, race/heritage, location, introduced in, and possibly something like status, since there are many lore characters that are MIA or dead.
Pros: This would make it easier to find an NPC, and would make it so we don't need a page like this for the lore section.
Cons: It'd be a pretty big table. But this could be cut down some by for example not listing every leather crafter/generic farmer/etc location, and instead have just 1 entry for those and when you click on their page it lists all the locations.
--An Adventurer 12:04, 18 November 2007 (CST) I've added the table and for now kept in the index by name. One thing I noticed is, at least for me, the navigation menu was moved to the bottom of the page. any way to fix this?
--Sanguis 12:17, 19 November 2007 (CST) I don't think that's a better way of doing it, because it will end up with a giant table and you wont be able to find anyone specific, for example once there are more than 100 NPCs, sorting it wont be the easiest thing, it will strain things and you will have to sort through a huge list as opposed to looking just for someone's name that starts with C. If you're going to add the table in, feel free but don't remove content simply because you "think" your way is better, that's counter productive.
--Sanguis 12:19, 19 November 2007 (CST)Also, having the index on top and the list on the bottom makes more sense, it would look horrible to have the index on the bottom, having both actually adds a lot more functionality and looks better, the having the entire list accessible and also having the ability to only look for people with a specific letter would be much better than just one or the other, i'd be happy to make sure I add entries to both.
