I don't think I understand how User Pages and Talk are used? No matter. This is my page, and this what I'm currently doing:

Summoning Skill Level Required

I like Alley Oop's suggestion, "can i request a couple of fields for the creature box? tameable (yes/no) and, if so, summoning skill level required (number)". I once found a table of required summoning levels: it helped me choose which creature to tame next. I have since enlarged, (and perhaps warped), said table: it currently exists at page Summonable Pets. Anyway, Alley Oop's suggestion was posted in the forum on 26 Sept 2021, and I don't see those changes.

  • Traditionally, we define the pet name and required summoning level on individual pages, (ostensibly describing the taming necklaces for each of the creatures which may be tamed). I have made a few changes to page Summonable Pets, and template Taming Necklace (Pet) recently: they seem to be working well. Also, template Taming Necklace (Pet) now uses (non-existent?) category Taming Necklaces, so these dozens of pages no longer clutter up category Pets.
  • Alternatively, I've begun inserting the required summoning skill level, explicitly, into the pages of creatures which are tameable. I created template Summonable for this purpose, (cleverly disguised as a link to page Tamed Creature Summoning Levels): insert it under "See Also". Then page Tamed Creature Summoning Levels tabulates these pets by their required summoning levels.

Both approaches work, but I prefer the second approach. It creates the same information, without requiring a separate page to describe each and every creature's required summoning level. While page Summonable Pets remains, I am converting pages which linked to Taming Necklace (Pet) to use template Summoning instead.

I also posted this on Browncoat Jayson's talk page: I seem to recall that he created the table I warped  ;)
