The layout look a lot better than the previous black box. However, there's a lot more useful information than just statistics, like strategy for dealing with certain monsters, and what they do. So either way, you'll need to design the page to take that into consideration.
Also, it might not be a good idea to include the Quick navigation template with the template, so that we can have pages like the catacombs boss fight include all of the monster information together(The wraith thing or whatever it is, with all of the rods).
At first I was thinking that if you had a side-section to it for a description on right side, you wouldn't have to center it, you could just have the text expand outwards to the right, and for multi-monster fights you could include all the monsters downwards, however it might also be good to have extra information extend downwards, and to just center the monster template with the Quick Template, so it's centered. Then when there is more than one monster in a fight(like the wraith) you could include them on the page side-by-side, in the same order they are in the actual fight.
On a final note in this all over the place rambling, it might be nice to have a box around the monster name at the top extended off the main box of statistics, with a light background color to make it stand out more. Since the border is a dark-blue, a lighter blue would do the trick.

1. Here is a quote from Silk that he sent me in a PM.
"Also, these code files in this zip folder contain information that may help you with the item and monster pages. Someone like Mikau or UnknownPerson can help you if you don't understand them (also feel free to share them with other people working on the wiki).

For monster pages it's probably best if people just list the HP/Exp/Gold and spell list for each monster, and not the more detailed stats. Those won't mean much to the average player anyway, and they're in constant flux.
Hope that helps "
I also totally agree with him in that we don't need detailed stats
2. The quick template is in the monster template and we could center the monster page but i don't know if it will look too out of place. (hates centered pages) ill fool with the centering and see if its alright.
3. IMO we should not post boss information so multiple monsters in one wiki is not necessary and i think it will look better downwards even if we did.
4. If you want to fiddle with the top name you can go ahead but I think it looks good as it is.
5. please send me a PM on the forums under Mur because I almost did not see this.
