Quality of monster notes
It looks like retarded monkeys (aka 13 year olds with bad typing skills and grammar) have been typing most of these. (Look at "Wild Boar")
 * It's a starting point, they're quite new. Maybe they aren't great, but rather than insulting someone who put the effort into it, you could help instead. -- Prod-You 03:21, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to add another question relating to the quality of the notes. What guidelines are there for monster info? Should it be restricted to battle tactics and well-known (rare) drops, or should other information be allowed in as well? -- EMP Demon 02:25, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly as you said, only battle tactics and rare/notable drops. Perhaps items that are required for quests as well.  Though there may be a lot of extra info for that so maybe another column could be used for that (with links to the relevant quest). If I can, I'll go through all the notes and try to clean them up a bit. -- Prod-You 15:25, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the drop lists for GlobalMS and MapleSEA are now different. This brings up a question: Do we leave item-related notes in, take them out, or do we change them to say "In MapleSEA, blah blah blah" as necessary? -EMP Demon 07:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Location Question

 * Where can these Chief Wood Board/ Chief Stone Wall monsters be found? -- Kevles
 * I'm not sure, but I think those monsters are KMS (Korean Maple Story) only. --EMP Demon 02:07, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It is by Perion but in KoreaMS only for now. -- DarkNShadow 03:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Where the heck did those Evil mushmom and taurotorn monsters go?-- Skrub 05:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Evil Mushmom and Taurotorn are 100% fake. -- 66.215.71.146 02:30, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought as much. Taurotorn looks like someone discolered a Taurospear and photoshopped the Crimson Balrog skull. Evil Mushmom i'm not sure.-- Skrub 08:00, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Memo: JMS Monster Experience
All monster experience data taken from JMS websites take into account the automatic 125% EXP boost that their servers receive. I corrected some of the incorrect experience counts I came across while editing, but most likely missed a couple.
 * I added a JMS EXP section in the template so we can have JMS EXP now. -- DarkNShadow 21:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Fake Monsters
Prod, please don't remove my Fake Monsters section. You can fix it, but DO NOT REMOVE IT PLEASE!!!!!!!!! --Skrub 09:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If they are fake, why include them? -- Prod-You 15:04, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If fake monster section goes out of hand it should be deleted. -- DarkNShadow 16:42, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, whatever. But if it does get out of hand (Ex: 50 fakes) then delete it.--Skrub 07:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * As amusing as seeing all these "fake" monsters, I really don't see the point. Except for a marginal amount of humour, they add nothing to the page.  We're trying to be informational, not uncyclopedic -- Prod-You 21:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah I see your point. Well maybe we should ask DarkNShadow. (P.S. Could someone supply me with a pic of the holy balrog?)--Skrub 07:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, i may put a fake monsters page on my website. Its unfinished and i cant update it.--Skrub 7:21, 24 August (UTC)
 * Maybe not on unencyclopedia. Too chaotic.--Skrub 07:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Heh, yea, and it's only actually funny to people who play the game. Uncyclopedia is just supposed to be funny in general.  -- Prod-You 02:21, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, if someone's gonna get a pic for holy balrog, it will be Shifter. (Aka fake monster dude with photoshop. ;) )

Newest Monsters
An anonymous edit, tipped me off about the New Monsters section. We haven't really specified its "point". Are we going to put new monsters to the game in general (are there different monsters added to jms and kms at the same time?) or each new version? Also, just to note, try to include the date or something so we know how long its been up. -- Prod-You 17:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh yea I forgot to say I added dates to the section for each versions release. -- DarkNShadow 03:35, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Deleted Info
Ok, is this some sort of sick joke? Wizet is still running MapleStory, 69.110.39.119, and I added back the page, being a die hard fan!!!! (If ya didn't know some guy deleted the page. --Skrub 07:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yea, he did that earlier. Just another vandal, ignore him :P -- Prod-You 00:34, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I bet he was a Runescape player. (Hey, I got nothing on Runescape, exept most of the players hate Maplestory.)

Spliting Pages Among Monster Level?
The Monster section is getting very long should it split monsters between level range "MapleStory/Monsters/Level 1-10", "MapleStory/Monsters/Level 11-20" and so on.... or (same as above) but with this page as the master list and have list of monster name or just leave it alone? We can do this after the move if we are moving. -- DarkNShadow 06:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Example for the master list: =List of monsters= == Newest Monsters == (Keep it the same but link the page where mosnter is) ==All Monsters== === Level 1-10 === {{main|MapleStory/Monsters/Level 1-10|Level 1-10} *[[MapleStory/Monsters/Level 1-10#Snail|Snail] *[[MapleStory/Monsters/Level 1-10#Tutorial Jr. Sentinel|Tutorial Jr. Sentinel] *[[MapleStory/Monsters/Level 1-10#Turkey|Turkey] --- == Bosses == (Keep it the same but link the page where mosnter is)


 * Yes, we definately need to break up the page :P. We are going to be moving very very soon.... I've talked to the StrategyWiki people and all the images are getting transwikid right now (or rather as soon as the guy sees the email).  Once thats done, I'll try and get the pages moved.  All the images have been renamed so that images come out with better names (hopefully) which will be added to the template.
 * As for splitting the page, I've been trying to figure out how to do it. We have many options, and I'll have to get some more info from the sw people before I can exclude some of them.  For now, I would like to make a main monster page which has the general info and perhaps the new monsters (nice and simple); a bosses page (the bosses section moved to its own page); some other page(s) with the monster list (have to decide on that part).  Splitting up the main monster section we can do slowly, but I'd rather do the other stuff sooner rather than later (apparently people like our "new monsters" section :D).  I haven't thought too much about that part yet, so any suggestions would be useful.
 * About the main monster list, your suggestion would make a nice simple main listing, but I would suggest that we have a little more info there such as hp and exp, perhaps even elemental weaknesses, and a boss tag. -- Prod-You 17:17, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Etc
Thanx prod about my page. -- Skrub
 * No problemo :).

Goby house super defense up
I was watching a 103 DK use crusher on it. Every hit was all ones, so I believe the rumor is true.

Monster Images
I have changed the template so it uses the picture stored at "MS Monster .png". Please don't upload non-png files to the location, like Rombot. If the image doesn't exist, but there is already a usable image (or the official english name isn't known), then use the 9'th parameter as the image name. -- Prod 19:37, 20 September 2006 (CDT)

Vandalism
Would someone get Cedricdon whatshisface to stop editing the monsters!!!! It's really annoying. Skrub 11:37, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I haven't seen him here in quite a while, so I don't know what you are referring to. I think he reached the account creation limit and subsequently got them all banned. If you could show me a specific recent instance, I might be able to clarify things. -- 11:41, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
 * XDivineHoly seems to be acting in a similar manner, though at the moment i've only seen one edit. I'll look more into it.--IsaacGS 13:50, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
 * XDivineHolyX actually has had 10 (5 on each of two pages, both of which I reverted), but the style was not Cedricong's. First of all, XDivineHolyX is not obsessed with Image:MS Monster Lich.png, and doesn't even seem to know what Special:Upload is (he/she uses external links to images). Also, he seemed to be putting somewhat factual stuff down (I couldn't verify it-which is another reason for the revert), but his/her grammar was akin to a one year old (if not worse). He/She has not actually done any true vandalism as of yet, so I cannot impose a permanent block on him/her (I can do temporary ones due to the fact he/she is unfamiliar with our documentation and should take a break from editing to read it-but I would only due a block like that only for that purpose). I'll keep a closer eye on Recent Changes to see if anything further comes up. -- 14:01, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
