I am trying to figure out exactly how hard it might be to make most of the tables in the wiki use a format similar to the one above. I don't mean to type everything out manually like in this example, but to create a template. I don't know much about templates, so I'm still struggling to figure them out. I don't even know if it's entirely possible to format entire tables using one template. It would certainly have to be very unspecific or generic in how it works. Perhaps there would need to be a template for each element of the table (border template, cell template, etc). I don't know the answer right now, so any help would be appreciated.

By the way, in this example, even the names in white text are links! Yes, you can change a link's color.
+
I think that's a misunderstanding. I don't believe the actual Steamonia event itself is going to be staying around. However, I am sure that the current Steamonia tower will be replaced with a permanent tower that uses the same, or similar mechanics. However, it's still too early to draw conclusions. We will have to wait and see what Silk actually has in mind.
  
If you know how to make complex templates or have an idea for how this might work, then please let me know.  
+
That old bestiary page is some very old preservation that is no longer necessary.
  
Feel free to make any suggestions on the color or style of this example as well.

I am trying to figure out how to easily stack the tables horizontally but I can't figure it out :/<br>

Ahh, ok.  I'll leave it alone for now then I guess until we get some clarification.  I am going to change that section title a bit though so that part of it still links to the new Steamonia page.  It's fairly hard to find otherwise.

== A better template ==
  
I put them in tables like that for now, it doesn't look the best, but it's a lot smaller and easier to navigate I guess. I think it'll be better to keep everything broken into smaller regions so people will know exactly what they're up against in a given area, other than just a general idea for a broad area. I couldn't remember exactly what you fight everywhere (like in the castle in Ardan during the take-over), so if you remember anything add it. Duplicates are okay if a monster is found in 2 seperate areas as well. I think another row should be added to them as well for bosses.

I wouldn't know where to start, but I think a new template for this page is in order. I don't know how it should look though...[[User:Marona|❀Marona❀]] 21:08, 1 June 2014 (CDT)
  
If you come up with a better way to display them, feel free to try and we'll see if it works better.
+
I'm with you, should probably change it from vertical to horizontal and try to make it look more like the rest of the wiki.

I guess another way is to have the areas going horizontally and the areas / monsters spreading downwards, but as more areas are added, it would get cramped with-ways.

I made a first draft for the new layout. Do you like it? [[User:Xhamon|Xhamon]] 19:15, 2 June 2014 (CDT)

== New template ==
 
 
 
Updated monster template to be able to show spells & element type but the great thing about it is that if that data is not present (like nothing is in the field) then no tables are shown.
 
 
 
{{Monster<br>
 
|Text1         = <span style="text-align:left; margin-left:10px;">'''Element:'''{{1}}{{1}} <ELEMENT HERE><br>
 
|Text2                  = <span style="text-align:left; margin-left:10px;">'''Spell:'''{{1}}{{1}} [[Heal]]<br>
 
|Element                = <br>
 
|Spell                  = Yes (Any input here will trigger a "true" value and input the spell field)<br>
 
 
 
This will display the spell heal but no element information.<br>

Steamonia

Steamonia's supposedly going to be a permanent area of the game (according to Silk's recent podcast), unlike the other two holiday events. It should probably keep it's own section separate from the temporary stuff.

EDIT: Also, why is the bestiary talk page a slightly outdated copy of the bestiary page itself?



I think that's a misunderstanding. I don't believe the actual Steamonia event itself is going to be staying around.

We will have to wait and see what Silk actually has in mind.

That old bestiary page is some very old preservation that is no longer necessary.
