The Creature List

2007-01-24 [Suzu]: i may have to watch this wiki now as repayment :)

2007-01-26 [xido]: Angel, I am going to switch the graphics back to code, so that they can be copied from the page without editing, in case we need to later. The colored bullet will still appear on top, but we want to show the tag for it too, just in case.

To Linn:
A simple 1-2 sentence statement about what a creature is, or a simple bit of info without a reference is the smallest form of content (Description - Minor). That excludes no content (like bane, which was edited to show this).

A post with anything more than 2-3 paragraphs and/or a reference to a resource used for the info would be an average-to-major post. Anything featured on the ECM immediately gets that bullet, instead of the others. Only Pegasus has been featured so far. Werecreature is a good idea of an average-to-major content page.

2007-01-26 [xido]: Another quick tip:
Any of the types of 'Sidhe' (pronounced "shee"), a type of faerie race, should be cut and posted after Sidhe, as a subtype, and perhaps listed on that page as different races. Sidhe are typically neutral or good-aligned fae races, where Unsidhe are more often more chaotic or evil-aligned. But that is D&D (Wizards) / Changeling (White Wolf) info...

2007-01-26 [xido]: dragon is more informative than dragon description, and contains the latter information after it was moved there by yours truly. Hedda suggested it, so it was done. ;)

2007-01-28 [xido]: Gnoll added for later content inclusion.

2007-01-28 [Linn Scarlett]: also, xido, i mean to dig out the gold and muck of elvenkind <---meaning that I plan to create extended pages for the different kinds of elves, linked from the Elves page. If you are ok with it ofcourse. I lately bought the Kinslayerwars, aswell as Realms of the Elves and Elves of Fearun, so yeah XD I need to read those and then I can set myself lose if it's ok with you

2007-01-30 [Linn Scarlett]: Nwah I was just confused by the 'minor/average' 'average/minor' as that kind of puts average in two places XD I'll get started on it tomorrow *flexes hands* then my finals are over -for now

2007-02-03 [xido]: As for the 'average', it is:  2-3 paragraphs with one reference, and gets a 'minor bullet (non-ECM). It would also get a 'minor bullet' if it had any thing less (like a one-liner 'Description'), or say like one small paragraph and a single pic.

3-4 paragraphs, 2-3 paragraphs with a pic, 2-3 paragraphs and a few references, or multiple pics constitutes a 'Moderate-to-Major Content (non-ECM) bullet.'

More sensible? :D

2007-02-03 [Angel Dreamer]: Stilken is now added.

2007-02-04 [xido]: And are all of those pages now formatted with:
<h1>Title</h1>

Back to the [Creature_List@wiki] / [The Creature List@wiki]

???

The last thing we need to do is make sure that all pages can be commented on by net viewers (but not edited by them - Elftown members ONLY should contribute), add adequate keywords to each page (copy-paste keywords from Creature List Format, and add the creature's name(s) and where it is from - culture/story/media).

Then, when that is all finished for each page (Angel should be the owner of all pages), and they are all formatted, we will take the other list away (from Creature_List, and leave the links up for it to here.

2007-02-04 [Angel Dreamer]: Yeah, I've been adding author's names where I could along with the other keywords. 

2007-02-05 [xido]: Great! And we are so close to being finished! Great job to you both, and I can't wait to see what kind of ripples this will make in Elftown's fantasy-loving populace... ;)

When all the bullets are up, I will take the other list off Creature_List, and this one will be our full and final list to work with... Plus, it will be easier to moderate in many ways.

2007-02-08 [xido]: All letters have been reviewed for content. Letters without bullets have no content at all. Creatures with !!! are improper pages.

Format still needs to be done:
- No passwords
- Owner: [Angel Dreamer]
- Keywords: Creature List Format
- Add "Back to the [Creature_List@wiki] / [The Creature List@wiki]"

I am removing the creatures from the other page now. This page is the official list, and should be moderated as such. Angel and Linn, do you want comments to be posted on T C L, C_L, or both? I can take comments off of either, depending on which page you'd rather watch for them on.... ;)

2007-02-12 [xido]: liche = lich

2007-02-12 [windowframe]: same thing, just alternate spellings.

2007-02-14 [Linn Scarlett]: Nah Liche and Lich is the same as far as I know ^_^ like magic and magick :/

2007-02-14 [xido]: but Liche has no info on it, and Lich does... I did that page for artwork a long wile back...

2007-03-04 [Lady of Lore]: Mordicant to come soon

2007-03-04 [Linn Scarlett]: hm I see we don't have winter wolves

2007-03-06 [Veltzeh]: I see someone's misspelled "phoenix"... great.

2007-03-06 [Linn Scarlett]: Does it matter XD Everybody spells it phoenix/pheonix/phoenixi/pheoniks/phoeniks
so reaaly :P
