Couldn't we organize this more? Maybe we could split it into Mother 3, Earthbound, and Mother enemy templates, and split those into boss and regular enemy templates. Or we could just omit this template altogether. RamblinEvilMushroom 11:56, 31 October 2010 (MDT)

I was actually thinking that we should probably just have a navigation template for bosses, and then for regular enemies, just put it in Category:EarthBound enemies (and so on). The navigation template would get way too huge if we had regular enemies in it.
And naturally, we would organize this more, lol. →Tinā δ 12:42, 31 October 2010 (MDT)

Organization

So when can we organize this some more? I'd like to just categorize regular enemies into their respective categories, corresponding to the game that they appear in. A navigation template for even the regular enemies split up into games would still be really big, so a category should do just fine.

And then for bosses... I think that would warrant a navigation template. Template:Mother bosses, Template:EarthBound bosses and Template:Mother 3 bosses? For EB sanctuary guardians could go in there and just be under their own header (I'm not sure how else to word this... :S). Hmm.

I'd just really like to organize the enemies soon, since everything's all over the place right now. →Tinā δ 10:00, 7 November 2010 (MST)

Individual navigational templates containing the enemies in each game would work best in my opinion. Metroid King Ω 12:58, 7 November 2010 (MST)
I'd say that there are too many enemies for navigational templates, even if divided by game. A 13:21, 7 November 2010 (MST)
Ok then... So just categorize then like Tina suggested? Metroid King Ω 14:03, 7 November 2010 (MST)
Depends on what she says. I'd like to see what everybody thinks. Besides, she has more authority than me on the decision. A 15:38, 8 November 2010 (MST)
I can't really think of another way this could be organized... of course now that I think about it, maybe not a navigation template for bosses, and just give them a category? Outside of the sanctuary guardians the bosses aren't really all that related to each other, outside of being... bosses. (And there's only like, 3 bosses in M1. Seems kind of pointless to make a navigation template out of that, but *shrug*) Hmmmmm. I'll still wait for someone else to say something before I go ahead and re-organize the enemies, though. →Tinā δ 16:32, 8 November 2010 (MST)
I would have to agree that listing them like this on each page is unruly; we already have seventy enemies listed and there are many many more left for Earthbound alone. It's also really distracting on the page (the box doesn't automatically resize and doesn't pay attention to the margins of the Enemy Info box, at least on webkit browsers) at the moment. Adding just a regular category box means that in one click users could access all relevant enemies, but I'd specify enemies in Mother, Earthbound, Mother 3, etc. Just my thought, since I'm entering a lot of the enemy data right now.

Not sure what you mean by category box- explain? :O And yeah, definitely going to separate enemies by game. →Tinā δ 08:50, 15 November 2010 (MST)
