Summary

• This is more of a personal project that I've been aching to work on for awhile, so it's here in the backlog for when I can get to it but at the moment it's very low priority compared to everything else that needs to get done.
• We do not currently have a Bestiary page. Instead, we just redirect the page to the Enemies category.
• Instead of this, my intention is to build out a bestiary page and subpages that can serve as clear points of information for all characters in game that are considered NPCs or Enemies.

To-dos

• Define hierarchy structure
• Determine how category pages work with classification pages
  • For example instead of using the page name "Category:Ashkin", have the categories populate the page but have the actual page name be "Ashkin"
    • This makes it easier for people searching for information.
• Determine if categories should be kept or replaced with semantic properties instead.
  • Currently there doesn't seem to be a clear need for properties over categories, but someone more familiar with SMW might have better insight on this.
• Determine how much data to store for NPCs
  • For NPCs using Player models, do we want to show their customization information?
  • Should we store model number for NPCs? This would allow us to show when NPCs share the same appearance outside of Player characters.
