Talk:Unlockable home instance characters

Jump to navigationJump to search

While I do not think this is a bad idea, I don’t think this is the best way to go about it. By calling it this you’d have to include EVERY home instance NPC, so I suggest moving it to “Home Intance Story NPCs” or something like that, and I’d probably remove the cats, since nearly all of them are just “Cat” and a link to the scavenger hunt would suffice. Also I don’t feel the category is needed, any NPC that can be found in the home instance should say that up in the location section, so the category is kinda clunky and really not a good idea because you’d really have to include -all- of the home instance NPCs or it wouldn’t be accurate and would...kinda overcategorizing things I think? (Sorry if that’s a bit chaotic, typing on mobile is still bleh) - Doodleplex 01:13, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

It's about characters you unlock by doing specific stuff. No need for a category or a page listing characters that always appear by default. Also, some of them never appear in the story.
Could change it to "Unlockable home instance characters" or something like that if petty title semantics is what you worry about.--Lon-ami (talk) 01:36, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
I like "Unlockable home instance characters", that's much more clear. I can move this for you if you'd like. - Doodleplex 01:41, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
Yeah, go for it. I will wait until it's done to keep adding characters I can confirm.--Lon-ami (talk) 01:53, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
I thought you were moving the category too? Don't need mod help to move just a page! Can I keep adding characters to the old category until it's bot-fixed?--Lon-ami (talk) 09:40, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
I'll move the category once I can borrow my boyfriends computer to use a bot to do the clean up since my current computer is unable to. So hopefully later today. - Doodleplex 20:34, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
Since the cats section is primarily just a "see other page" link, perhaps that should just be bumped down to a "See also" section? Also there's the Webby Hatchling that sometimes an appear in the homes instance with N.O.X., not sure if it fits since it's not a permanent NPC, but I thought I'd mention it. - Doodleplex 21:37, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
I'm trying to get the named guys first. Additional nameless NPCs accompanying them are secondary for now, and might be better inside the page of each character.
Cats would ideally be included here, but the page is huge and includes guides. Maybe include them but just by type? Not sure about what to do with them, but they do deserve their own section either way. I'll add text to each section once I'm done compiling information, it won't look that empty then.--Lon-ami (talk) 23:46, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
