This property can't handle comma seperated lists or level ranges which are commenly used. - Yandere Talk to me... 02:44, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Comma-separated lists are handled on the template, not the property itself. NPCs don't have level ranges.--Relyk ~ talk < 02:47, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
@Relyk, when the NPC appears at all levels within a range, they're entered in the infobox as a range: X-Y. That's what Yandere is talking about.
@Yandere, that's not a problem with the property, as Relyk said. We would have to change this property to a String type, instead of a Number, but queries still wouldn't work properly (querying for level 33 would not be able to return an NPC that lists 30-40, for example). Either the infobox template needs to be updated so it can parse input like that, or we need to change the way the infobox is used. —Dr Ishmael User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png 03:03, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
My solution is to have a Record to pair the level with the area, as each area the NPC is in also has a corresponding level that varies with the area. The area and/or level also correspond to combat abilities for the NPC. We have to keep that together somewhere. Oh I already wrote something about it: Guild Wars 2 Wiki talk:Semantic MediaWiki/NPCs.--Relyk ~ talk < 03:20, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
