So uh...

I'm almost halfway done with the NPC's in Bastok Mines! You don't realize the amount of crap in this game until you start to talk to every single godforsaken npc
I want some feedback:

Screenshot with FFXI font:
http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Vaghron
Screenshot with modded UI:
http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Alib-Mufalib
http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Gavoroi

What I want feedback on is should I take screencaps of taru/short NPC's or leave that to others? Galka's field of view makes getting some kinda wonky. I've think i've gotten around it, that alib-mufalib screen just lost something when I uploaded it.

Also, I noticed some changes of NPC's to have {{stub}} instead of [[Categoryroofreading]] [[Category:Stubs]], someone may want to note this on the front page where it says all articles must included these links. Please let me know if I should be using this as well.

Perhaps for our vertically challenged friends heal and first person view to take screenshots? That's what I'd do (and I prefer the original font, but that's probably because I don't use the modded UI)

Generally, when I take screenshots of people that fall into "things that should be eaten" category on my Galka, I will normally sit down in first person view to get a better angle. It works fairly well.

The taru picture was taken sitting down. Some NPC's are always surrounded by players, so if I have to 'look' down its just gonna make it that much more of an awkward shot. (Its gonna be fun getting a clean SS of the Lower jeuno DBox people)

So far it hasn't been an issue of "I can't do this", I think i'm just going to leave the NPC shot blank if I can't get one in the future.
Edit: 3 more, every NPC in front of the auction house is up. Now: sleep!

So, I'm starting to find NPC's that don't appear to do anything other than spout out text.
http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Category:Other_NPC

My issue with this is that the description for said NPC's is uh...nothing? I've been putting up the text that they say in case someone gets something else, but in the 3 cases I have right now, Allah / KI / Google don't show anything else. I'm going to soldier onward just using See below as the description for these unless someone can give me some better insight.

I've always thought /sit lowered your feild of view more than /heal.

Maybe I am wrong, but I that descriptions should only be used for NPCs that perform actions. (Delivery Box NPC, Mission Starter, Fame Checker, Transport, etc.) I have been doing story NPCs and have left the Description blank, or just mentioned that someone is involved in missions or resides in cutscenes only.

Bastok Mines: O. That zone is done, for NPC's. Next stop: Markets.

Elphaba, i'd do that but the picture part isnt the big pain. The easy part is all the NPC's that just sit there and spout out useless crap. Go them. The not so easy ones are the specialty vendors like gavoroi that I have to alt tab to get all the prices/items. Jesus tap dancing christ is Jueno going to be a pain in the ass.

See, there are some NPC's that exist soley to repeat the same lines of text, over and over again.
I settled on leaving the description blank and putting the text of what the NPC says below the template like this:
http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Gray_Wolf
http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Valeri

So, I kind of stole the layout for the guild tables here:
http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Odoba
http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Maymunah

Is it really theft if you go "Oh look, thats a nested table" and redo it in the span of 30 seconds?
If someone can make it look prettier go right the hell ahead, I haven't added items because the guild was closed when I took that picture and I don't know how / if you can link the lists together so i'm not touching it for the moment.

My opinion is that format, and a 3'rd table for "Buy back's" would be appropriate, since they dont' sell everything they'll buy and that would make the page less cluttered with more information.

Also, I noticed some changes of NPC's to have {{stub}} instead of [[Categoryroofreading]] [[Category:Stubs]], someone may want to note this on the front page where it says all articles must included these links. Please let me know if I should be using this as well.

Bump rq~ b/c I didn't see a response and had the same concern. Please indicate which tag is preferred and is there a difference?
Also, it is acceptable (encouraged) to create all new pages with the Proofreading and Stubs tag (after searching for relevant existing pages), correct? I enjoy contributing/stubbing new pages, but I don't want to be creating more work for others. <3

[Evelyn]

{{stub}} is preferable to [[Category:Stubs]] when needed, because it uses a template at the top that clearly shows the page as a stub, whereas the category listing is something you need to hunt for.

[[Categoryroofreading]] should be added to every new page, and only taken off by our approved grammarhammers.
