About this page[edit]

I'm not sure if this page should be created, seeing as how there are no other pages on test NPCs, just a short mention on the People page. Regardless, I have went ahead and made this page on Denyiir. If others think that this should indeed be created, I would want other people to research and verify what I've found so far and already put on the page. I feel this is a good base for a valid UESP article; otherwise I will just keep it here. Ghost Host 00:42, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

You should propose it on the Community Portal; more people will see the proposal there than here. Vely►Talk►Email 00:51, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
There was some discussion on this at Oblivion talk:Kill Me, but nothing was ever decided. I'm in support of creating pages (or at least a page) for test NPCs. This one seems to have enough content to warrant its own article, so, whenever you're ready, feel free to launch it. —Legoless 20:00, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Things I don't understand[edit]

I'm not a wiki pro, but there are a few things I am uncertain about:

  1. Why are certain links and images are broken? I'm assuming it has something to do with being a user page of mine, but I'm pretty sure I've gotten all the syntax right for the templates I'm using.
  2. The path that appears at the top: "Merchants / Spell Merchants / Blacksmiths / Recharging / Trainers", all links are in the "Skyrim" category, even though this has nothing to do with Skyrim.
  3. Why are the refid baseid not showing up? I know it's a little weird, seeing as how I have 2 baseids and some extra info for both of them, but I tried it with only one, just the number, and they didn't show that way either.

If someone happens upon this page please help if you can. Ghost Host 00:42, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

  1. Userspace, yes. Syntax looks correct to me.
  1. If in userspace, the trail defaults to Skyrim. This should be fixed on making a regular page.
  1. Possibly due to being in userspace, but I'm uncertain. Vely►Talk►Email 00:51, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Everything works correctly when pasted into the Oblivion namespace. I made a minor link fix - hope you don't mind! —Legoless 20:00, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your input guys! I've created the page! And to whoever replaced my image, it's much better than the crappy image I took.

Personally I think that there should be a page on Test NPCs. If I made it, it would be like this: Table form, 2 columns, first column the NPC's name (baseid underneath of course, probably including location), second column a description of them. NPCs of particular interest (such an Denyiir here who have a lot going on) should get their own page, but should also be mentioned on the Test NPC's page, their name linking to their page. Of course I haven't checked out every test NPC yet. When I get time I'll try to gather enough data to at least draft a page like this. Ghost Host 18:25, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
