New field or something else for indicating drops
Would new field for items drops upon NPC death (placed in found in their inventory) be teh way to go as they are not show when looking at <NPC>? Something like 'drops' or such. BlackSmith 17:34, 11 August 2008 (EEST)
No it shouldn't. Don't make things too complicated. Things that are gotten from one monster are placed in SAME field. No matter whether they come from worn/wielded/inventory/orifice...

Makes sense, data pulls trough DPL or such would be mighty hard after multiple fields. I do disagree that information where the items are located or if its random should be placed to other field. Keeping the random/inventory information with the items information would keep things less divided. Like youself said it becomes too complicated. A note after the item like "(random)" and "In inventory:" followed with a list of invetory items would keep the information on same field without dividing it up or making it messy.

About the "spell = none" issue
WTF?! What is the meaning of missing skill / spell category if it is removed like this? -- Milk
Meaning of the categorys are still the same. This issue adressed the problem where NPCs (articles) were part of those categorys when they were not suposed to be. Like when not having entry on spell field resulted to be included to missing spells category or having none entery result to link to the spell none. It has been now fixed thus having 'spell = none' removes the articel from C:missing spells and writes a nice text saying 'Does not cast spells'. BlackSmith 14:46, 19 August 2008 (EEST)
Conversation about todo
Also a general note. These seem to be reminders for yourself only. For me it's IMPOSSIBLE to understand what you mean with these if you don't elaborate. -- Milk
Those are a list of things that need to be done for the NPC by any skilled wiki scripter. Someone could do those as i can't and won't do everything. They are not ment as personal notes as personal ones should be kept in users personal page as per etiquette. If they are unclear, i try to elaborate them more. Sorry for being obscure.
