Template:NPC

From World of Warcraft Forever Wiki

This template adds a compact reference box and nonempty semantic properties to an article. It places the article in Category:NPCs.

Copy the blank pattern into a subject page. Leave unknown fields empty. Use plain page names for relationship fields and plain numbers for numeric fields. See Help:Editing and Project:Data policy.

Article structure

After the opening identification, use Location → Quests and services → Encounter details (when applicable) → Changes → Sources. A story association does not establish that the NPC starts or ends a quest. Record coordinates with the location, game build, and source.

Use {{Research tasks|kind=NPC|needs=Location coordinates; Exact quest or service role}} for specific gaps.

Changes records dated game announcements, corrections, or observed build changes. The optional reviewed_on date records the wiki’s source review; it is separate from the game version and does not imply in-game testing.
