NPC's/Mobs and WotG

[Gwynplaine]

How should users go about adding info for npc's that have other versions of themselves in WotG areas? Make a subpage, separate page, or just add different material to one single page? Just curious thanks.

I think add another 'npc header' like the one we currently have, except each one has a label "Future" and "Shadowreign/Past", so 1 page, with two sections.

Nitpicking, but I think our Vana'diel would be the present, not future ;o.

So, I'm curious, what's the ruling on this? Would something like Ranpi-Monpi (S) be acceptable for the Ranpi-Monpi of the past? For similarly named monsters I don't think it would be a major issue, but for NPCs it can be. >_>

Monster we would just have to make sure lvls are the same if not add in what the new ones max is add the area in which it is etc should be np but still need accurate numbers if lvl is completely the same well then just add the zone like west ronfaure (S).

If it's an NPC, there should just be a section on his/her/it's page about them in the past instead of making another entry for it.

^2nd that, but are we gonna label them Crystal War or Shadowreign? For NPCs Shadowreign doesn't sound too bad since it goes with the (S), but idk =/

I think for NPCs just use Crystal War as it ties in more with our "Crystal War Quests" section, which is mostly what people are going to look up npcs for probably?

That looks like what I was thinking, although I think "Ranpi-Monpi [S]" would actually click to people, due to the fact in their minds they already have associated [S] with the past - so they can keep the same train of thought.

creating redirect pages for those works ya ^^

This isn't just WotG npcs either. For instance Raubahn appears as an assault NPC, and an enemy mob in not one but two very different BC forms.

I just wanted to point out people weren't making categories with introducing new monsters... please try to use templates before doing that.
