Removed Default Image
Arg, thanks to Mikaka pointing it out, I've removed the default image of a troll. It spawned on every page... Sillly me. Real fix pending. --Hobinheim (talk · contr) 16:30, 16 January 2007 (EST)
- I removed the pic width argument because it was stretching the more slender pics (notably elven females) into pixelated ugliness, and because an small width makes the broader pics too tiny. ----

Parameter names make no sense
Why is does the parameter faction= just pick the icon type, but the parameter city= actually shows up after Faction:? Looks like this template needs some work. --

- Ran out of names? o_o Unless you feel like changing all the instances of it now Have fun!. --Sky (talk | con | wh) 08:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
New template for characters?
I just want to say one thing... This is MUCH uglier then the one we had before. +This one is NOT very good fore lore characters etc. etc. +The one we had before had such a nice textrure and... it was VERY nice. +Example... Sargeras! Look at it, does it fit for a lore character? NO!
Is WoWWiki starting to become an anti-lore site?!?!?!?!?! I am sorry if I sound upset, BUT I AM!
I don't know what you can (or will) do about it... but just... Now I have said what I wanted to...

- The one we had before did not fit the color scheme of the site. It was too large, and clumsily coded. This one fits both and allows for easier updates. I don't see how you would presume that would make WoWWiki any less favorable towards lore. --Pcj (T•C) 13:14, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- Wowbox was cool, but it did have very hacky code and made updating the relevant templates quite difficult. Kirkburn talk contr 15:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
You see, now we have a "Level" thing... and... instead of a real "Faction" thing it comes a picture in the left corner and that doesn't work well for... hmm, let's see... the Burning Legion? Or the Scourge?

- Ah, level needs to be put in an if, whilst the neutral icon does indeed need changing, perhaps with extra icons. Kirkburn talk contr 14:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Linkage to Thottbot et al
How about adding a parameter for linkage to the DB sites that have mob pages? (I wanted to add one for K. Lee Smallfry) -- ScratchMonkey 15:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Should follow the NPC boilerplate, which says it should have a section at the bottom titled "External links" and then use the {{elinks-NPC}} template. --Sky (t | c | w) 18:32, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Slight changes
Under where it has balance, with the [[Category:{{{balance}}} Pets]], Pets needs to be changed to pets.

Other factions?
Much like how {{NPC}} can handle factions other than A/H/N/C, how about NPCbox? I've already created Image:SSO 32.gif as a test case (see Eldara Dawnrunner). Short of the obvious factions (Aldor/Scryers), any other factions come to mind? Wrath isn't too far away and I get the feeling there's going to be another "pick a faction" decision happening as soon as we get to Dalaran... --k_d3 03:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
