Ability section is broken, just copies from Description and doubles it again in Ability.

Example:

Check the 'edit' of this page, to see that the ability section was written as "|ability=Ability"; Its a nice template if it would work properly! Ceviche 07:18, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok, so the new template means that a lot of images won't work because they have been incorrectly named, which means we'll have to upload new images (unless there's a way to change the name of an image). On the plus side, this will get our file names consistent. :s Levonis 09:24, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Links in ability box are nigh-invisible

i gotta point out that if links are included in a monster description, the link's text is dark blue and thus nearly unreadable against the dark background of the template

as far as i can tell there's no way to fix this from within the template itself, so there's three solutions:

1. edit the templates so that the text blocks have a special class THEN edit MediaWiki:Common.css so that anchor tags within that class are yellow or somesuch
2. rework the templates so that they're dark text on a light background
3. not put links within descriptions on these templates

• number 1 requires an admin to go digging around in the css since that page is protected
• number 2 defeats the whole purpose of having the templates look like the windows in the game itself
• number 3 defeats the purpose of having the information in a wiki in the first place

wut do

The point of a wiki is to convey information. In the absence of admin tweaking, the link color issue currently hinders this basic goal... although the template to make it look like a game box is slick and cool, I'd say go ahead and change the color scheme until such time as a better fix can be implemented. (Because wikis save a changelog, it'll be very easy to go back to the game-style, once wiki tweaks are in place) --Pauling 18:34, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Use this format for links:

[[Page Name|<span style="color: #CCCCCC;">Page Name</span>]]

Variations

I feel that, since these 'variations' apply to every single monster in a series, that this information should be put in the 'traits' section rather than repeated over 10 times on one page. Levonis 10:44, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
