thoughts on the template system? Perhaps a variety of templates for different types of pages?
"Characters/Monsters" could be more biography based like the current wiki entries? Separate using tabs maybe Character appearance, then Location(s), then perhaps general Lore?
eg.
-Pictures of a Coblyn from different angles/ Variations in type
-Pictures/lists of places where you can find them and maybe a little blurb about the area "Copper bell mines, a source of resources for Ul'dahn yadda yada"
-Then one for stats? "health in the range of _____" "Drops _____"
That sounds a bit tedious at first, but sue me, I like making lists.
"Locations" could utilize a series of <thumbs> galleries at different times of day? maybe
-Picture of the map and description of the general area on the first tab
-Picture of hot spot locations and descriptions of each/history
-3rd tab for Some of the people in that zone and links to their entries?
-these could have 1.0 tabs where an overlay of the old map vs the new map is as well as some notes on the changes?
and "events" template for stuff like the Autumn War
in the "info box" like characters you could have a Date, Factions/combatants, Result?
I'm not sure what the best way to seperate event information would be.. maybe a "timeline" tab showing the general series of events, and then just headers below that go into each point in greater detail?
I'd make sure to require a "Put links to the pages of people/places involved in the event"
I suppose Events would only really be needed if they weren't included on the people or places tabs, but I think that those with events that are longer termed and have people drop in and out of them as time goes by an seperate host of information would be handy. For example if you Had a page about Nym and mentioned how their Scholars and Marauders worked together to great effect, i'm not sure if you'd want to mention everything that was going on at the mainland at the same time.
But now i'm just rambling.. thoughts?
