Template:Monster

This template is now DEPRECATED and should not be used on new Mob pages. Instead, please use Template:Mob.

This is my attempt to adapt all the pages that use Template:Monster and change them to call Template:Mob. This is not and cannot be a complete conversion as there is a lot of information on Template:Mob that Template:Monster was never designed to handle (such as race).

One big problem is that the founders used a single field, area, to define the mob's location and made no distinction between a Zone or a POI. I have moved Template:Monster to Template:OldMonster and moved this template to Template:Monster.

The only true and correct way to convert a page to Template:Mob is to edit the page, paste the new skeleton on top, then fill it in and remove the old template.

All pages that are converted by this will be seen in Category:Mob Pages that use the old Monster Template.

To deal with these LITTLE problems I have added several key fields from Template:Mob so that minor editing can fix some of this without a full replacement:
 * race
 * The race, singular, of this mob. See Category:Mob Races for a list of existing races.


 * zones
 * (commalist) a comma-separated list of the zones this mob is found in


 * pois
 * (commalist) a comma-separated list of the POIs this mob is found in. If not blank then area is ignored

Note: Most fields from Template:BWItem are supported (passes through) by this translation, except for those that are directly addressed by the old template.
