Boss Categories
In the past, there have been multiple categories for bosses based on the amount of HP they have:
- Category:Weak Bosses (~100k HP)
- Category:Lesser Bosses(100k - 1M HP)
- Category:Strong Bosses(1M - 100M HP)
- Category:Strongest Bosses(100m~)
There are also some bosses that may be better described as "super bosses" (i.e. Pink Bean and Dark Cygnus) that may deserve a new category, since it seems Nexon is going to be releasing more like them. Could you rewrite the code to put the boss in the appropriate category? -- Owlepicurus 21:21, 2 August 2011 (CDT)
- I wanted to make those categories an automatic categorization, but unfortunately I would need to list all values possible for them to work, making it highly improbable. I'll add some extra boss categories and make a note about the suggested parameters for using them. Kitten Tale 21:11, 6 August 2011 (CDT)
- Good point. It would still be nice to have some sort of division (perhaps based on level or some other easier to manage value), and it sounds like you're already working on that. -- Owlepicurus 18:37, 9 August 2011 (CDT)
Elemental Weaknesses & Strengths
Could you also add a section for elemental weaknesses & strengths? It would not apply to most monsters, so it should only appear in the infoboxes of monsters that have them. Thank you! -- Owlepicurus 23:20, 2 August 2011 (CDT)
- I thought about adding that as well, but if more information would be included in the infobox, wouldn't that make the main body of the article more unused? I'll think about it, but I'm not sure if that would qualify as infobox-worthy. Kitten Tale 21:13, 6 August 2011 (CDT)
- I think it does. It would remove some content from the main body of the article for some monsters, and it would really improve the way the pages look, in my opinion, for the elemental weaknesses section is usually just a short bulleted list that does not look all different from the other information already moved into the infobox. Also, it would help ensure that the formatting is consistent; almost every page I've seen that has this information uses a different format. Even if you don't incorporate it into the infobox, you may still want to create a template for a table.
- On the related note of what should be in the infobox, the jump value should be removed or reworked. It only applies to a handful of monsters, and I don't think the value is known for any of them. That being said, some monsters do display special jumping behavior (some always jump off of platforms with edges, some only jump when they can get back up, others stay on the platform they spawned on, etc) which may be worth including, as well as whether they jump up and down as they walk. -- Owlepicurus 18:37, 9 August 2011 (CDT)
