Established Standards: Familiar Pages

From TheKolWiki

Familiar pages should contain the following elements in the order shown here.

Follow the link for information on coding and contents for each element.

• FamID: The familiar's in-game ID number
• H1, H2, H3: The three lines of the haiku of the familiar's description, as it appears in the Kingdom.
  • Note: This is the familiar's description from clicking it in the terrarium, not the hatchling's item description.
• Function: What the familiar does, in terms of game mechanics.
• Hatchling: What item is used to acquire this familiar.
• Equipment: What familiar equipment is unique to this familiar?
• Arena parameters, which are values from 0-3:
  • ucm: The familiar's rating in the Ultimate Cage Match
  • hns: The familiar's rating in Hide and Seek
  • oc: The familiar's rating in the Obstacle Course
  • sh: The familiar's rating in a Scavenger Hunt
• The name, image, and gender for the familiar are stored on the familiar's metadata page, linked from the upper-right corner of the page. After inserting the familiar template into a page, follow the "Create metadata" link to create the metadata page for the familiar. For more information on this, see Established Standards: Data Pages.

Combat Messages

Combat Messages

• The heading is already provided for you from the template.
• Bullet all messages.
• First list normal combat messages, then with the Lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped, and so on with the Mr. Store equipment, in that order.
  • Use <name> and <him/her/it> in place of your familiar's name and the monster's pronoun, respectively.

*Regular message(s):
**<name> bites <him/her/it> for X damage.
**<name> attempts to bite <him/her/it>, but misses.

*With [[lucky Tam O'Shanter]] equipped:
:<name> finds your foe's wallet stuck between its fangs.

*With [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]] equipped:
:<name> gnashes his sabre-teeth at the maypole.

*With [[wax lips]] equipped:
:<name> grins and almost loses his wax lips.

Enter special arena messages here, particularly the messages for this familiar's weak/strong events, if applicable:

*When entered in a Scavenger Hunt:

Other Information

I think we've already covered how to list Notes, References, or See Also sections (in that order).
