== Standard for monster pages == | |||
Thank you for getting started on including the gifs for the monster pages btw! I'll change the px size so they're closer to how they appear at native resolution soon, and I think they'll look better smaller. But I wanted to talk about standardizing what a monster page should look like, since they're all over the place right now, and the [[Dragon Quest Wiki:Manual of Style|manual of style page]] hasn't been updated in 14 years. Like the slime page for example before the contents: | |||
"The Slime is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. | |||
Introduced in the original Dragon Quest, Slimes have since become the series' mascot due to their popularity and iconic qualities to the point that they even have their own monster family. The basic Slime has been in every Dragon Quest game to date, becoming the effective ambassador of the franchise." | |||
It has a format like this: | |||
''The (monster) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. | |||
Space | |||
Introduced in (game), then a short description.'' | |||
But other monster pages have a format like: | |||
''The (monster) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in (game). Sometimes with no description.'' | |||
Which one would be better? Should there a description before the contents? Should "related monsters" or "similar species" be used? | |||
