Wiki code in tables
Hi!

I know, it's done this way on several pages, but you can omit the  tags if you place a   before the (e.g.) "+1" instead.

Put them onto my talk page, as I prefer one topic in one place. :) -- -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 20:25, October 18, 2019 (UTC)

Creature categories
Hi!

Please refrain from adding e.g. Category:Bears to the Black Bear – it's already in the subcategory black bears, so it's sort of redundant, but if there's need to add it to bears itself, this will be done by the infobox automatically one day. Sorry, but I will revert those edits.

Githyanki
Hi.

I guess, you created Githyanki (Race) to have something distinguishable from single creatures by the identical name. Actually, I don't know how to handle this correctly. It would be good to have some sort of overview articles for base creatures. Currently, there are some disambiguations for these, some redirect to the categories. The latter ones should become that overview, as probably done with sirines, and theoretically the former ones, too. Problem with githyanki is that there's no difference between singular and plural.

So, what do you think of combining both articles, the overview and the specific creature by the name githyanki? So, to spare an extra "race" article? (With the given example of the sirine, this also could be implemented on the overview and the page that uses the singular redirect to that one.)

By the way, the correct spelling of your article would be "Githyanki (race)", with a lowercase "race".

 * Yes I think it is a marvelous idea to combine it directly in the overview / category article but I didn't want to start something different for you to have more change again. This way the category page is also not so empty besides being a list. But then all creatures article should follow the same pattern for consistency reasons. The sirines article would be too long to be an category article. Do you agree?


 * And yes unfortunately githyanki has no difference between singular and plural and I really tried to find the plural form. It was quite aggravating to have to add the (race) part. I had used the orcs / orc as an example. --Mortain87 (talk) 20:59, October 23, 2019 (UTC)


 * Oh … If changes by me on edits by you discouraged you from editing or creating stuff – that is not good, and I apologize for it. Please, don't think this way and go on with wikiing here. If there are particular things, we could always discuss them.


 * As for categories: these aren't "articles" per se and usually should indeed have only a short introductory note telling what the category is about or how it's used, followed by the list of contained pages. If you want to have real information, that's always on an article in the main namespace, perhaps by the same name as a related category.


 * Of course creature articles then should be consistent. I tried to start something like that as a project with the mentioned sirines, though those need more work. Currently, I've picked the gnolls – give me some time (could mean: days), and we'll see how it could work. -- UserCCCSig.png -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 07:34, October 24, 2019 (UTC)

Item group
Hi!

The item infobox parameter  is intended to be replaced with. Please don't add it anymore to infoboxes you're editing. Thanks! -- -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 14:21, November 19, 2019 (UTC)


 * Ok thanks for the tipp. I am trying to have some consistency here. At least for the listing. I will not add item_group anymore and add only general, but what is the exact class I should use? The most specific one? I mean am I doing it correctly? --Mortain87 (talk) 14:36, November 19, 2019 (UTC)


 * Another hint: that very infobox is the one best documented, with an extensive "how to fill" section. ;)
 * As for your question: In many cases,  can use the unidentified name of an item. Sometimes, e.g. for miscellaneous items, the NI "category" can be used (see items by type (incomplete)). Sometimes it's on you to decide what would match best. Use singular, lower case (doesn't really matter) and no link brackets; categorization should work automatically, at least for what's implemented here; this list can and will be expanded. -- UserCCCSig.png -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 15:05, November 19, 2019 (UTC)
