==How to generate the main page==
Since this is an redirect page now, we could use <nowiki>{{I18n|page=Monsters}}</nowiki> to link directly to the correct English page. By doing it that way would reduce a useless click. However this would break the link to the Italian language version. Any thoughts about this? [[User:EJlol|EJ]] ([[User talk:EJlol|talk]]) 07:17, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
The main article is generated by a python script that creates the monster page in wikicode from the eAthena configuration files, the script can be found on the [[Talk:Monster reference/Scripts|scripts subpage]].


''Please use the python script to update the page, as manual changes may be overwritten by someone pasting in the output given from running the script.''
I moved the Italian version to comply to new naming standard. --[[User:Jesusalva|Jesusalva]] ([[User talk:Jesusalva|talk]]) 12:29, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
 
== Strength of Red Scorpion ==
Wasnt the RED scorpion supposed to be a miniboss? that HP seems kinda low for one :o
--[[User:Bear|Bear]]
 
Cool, I was thinking about bosses too.
I believe that Red Guy is like a boss. There are too many snakes and spiders, a DRAGON should be a good idea for a boss. But ONLY ONE DRAGON, please.

::: Ok. Last night I added this information to the script (not updated on the wiki yet). But I am not sure how to show it, a few suggestions follows. I did not want to put it in an additional column as the table is quite wide already (it will soon, if not already, get too wide for narrow screens/windows).
::: The traits that TMW currently uses are as follows (either on/off): Moveable/Cannot move · Loots/Does not loot · Aggressive/Does not attack on sight · Assists/Does not help its friends · <A trait that may be related to a boss; currently Santa Slimes and Spiders have this, unsure what it really does...> · Has attack/Does not have any attack. Which ones should be shown, and more importantly to me, how? Suggestions welcome. ✎ [[User:Kess|Kess]]<sup>[[User talk:Kess|☽]]</sup> 14:00, 30 October 2008 (CET)

== Accuracy/Evade ==
Wouldn't it effective to put down the accuracy and evade rates of enemies as well? It would help take the guessing game out and prevent further deaths of players via play-testing. (Esp. mountain snakes)
Since I am making an evade character, it would be nice to know the % to hit so I can adjust my evade accordingly so I dont go overboard and be weaker than I could be.

== Links to quests ==
[[User:Siorinex|Siorinex]] added links to quests from item drops, while a generally speaking great idea, I think such information has a more practical use in the [[item reference]]. For now this information will be lost by me updating the page with the script, but [http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php?title=Monster_reference&diff=10632&oldid=10625 here is a link to the changes].
 
Some thoughts on what could be done:
* Have specific wiki page for each item, then the monster drops could be linked to their respective pages.
* Leave the items out of the [[monster reference]], but add a link somewhere to the [[item reference]].
 
For now I will add a link to the item reference. To create individual item pages is something I am not prepared/willing to undertake. In any regard I think such a thing would better wait till the move to tmwserv or at least till after a rebalance of the current game. ✎ [[User:Kess|Kess]]<sup>[[User talk:Kess|☽]]</sup> 14:56, 9 November 2008 (CET)
