Hi there, I've recently completed The Butcher and Archbishop Lazarus pages for D1, but I'm sure they could use some looking over. Thing is, they're uncategorized, and I can't seem to find a category.
ALSO, in the D1 portal, the bestiary is unlisted, but the monster pages exist. Maybe time to list them?
Regards, Sen
EDIT:- ALSO, I've made Siggard, Buyard Cholik and Norrec Vizharan pages, perhaps anybody could look over those if they have the time?
I'm expecting Phrozen to rep, I've grown rather fond of him
But any1 is good
Thanks for starting this project Don't worry about the category, I'll create a navbox template for those pages and it will automatically include a category.
What is important to remember is that certain monsters have stats that do not scale between difficulties (due to bugs or other reasons). In this case, enter the value they use for normal and I will fix the template so it displays the correct stats.
As for the portal page, I'll make sure to update that. I'll have to create some sort of consolidation page for them.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
The Siggard page is way too big, and it's a description of the entire novel rather than a page about the actual character Siggard. It should be greatly condensed and focused.
The Norrec page is much too short and doesn't explain anything about the character except that he happens to have Bartuc's armor.
The Cholik page is the best, but can stil use some work. The speculation part needs to be clearly separated under a different header.

Well yes, but not just as a way of dividing the page but also to create different sections. For example, a wikipedia article about a person will usually start with a chronology of their life (early life followed by different parts of their careers or similar), and then various other topics of specific interest after that.
Obviously that structure is not applicable to Diablo characters, but just the act of internally organizing the page is needed. In the case of Siggard, this might the following:
Brief summary of the character, mentioning that he is the protagonist of the Demonsbane novel, followed by perhaps a two sentence summary of what he does in that book. A note about his sword is probably apt to include here as well.
(First Header)
Next we might have a short summary of his life, which in this case pieces together what we know of his past and what actually transpires in the book. I'm unsure how much can be procured here, but two paragraphs seems a reasonable top at least.
(Second Header)
After that, a section about his personality, powers andcharacteristics.
(Third Header)
In the case of Siggard, we also want a section talking about his unfinished story (with an appropriate link to the article about it) and what was intended to happen with him in the following two books. It should be mentioned somewhere that Blizzard has not continued this development and that lore developments in other books since then (most notably the Sin War) contradicts much of the outlines here.
(Fourth Header)
Finally, a section about speculation, possible appearances in future media etc.
This is a suggestion. We don't have anything formalized in terms of character or lore pages at all at this point, so experiment a bit if you want and see what works. Obviously this structure will not work for more minor characters of whom we have much less info, but I hope you get the idea.

All of the articles also need more structure.
