You're not understanding my point. This thread was made to write the Manual of Style and part of that is making a format for monster articles. Having a template, doesn't mean you have a format. Here's my thoughts on how the monster articles should be formatted like:
 * Currently, the only information the monster pages offer is the statistics that the player can see in the game or information that is already at the aqforums's encyclopedia section. To make this wiki useful and unique, you need a broader scope that isn't limited to just covering the obvious points. I think that this Wiki should focus on lore, strategy and trivia, areas where aqforums is lacking in; otherwise, you'll find yourself in direct competition with them.
 * In terms of monster pages, there should be a "Battle" section covering "Attacks", "Statistics" and "Strategy", which can each be made into a sub-section. Additionally, there should be an "Appearances" section, explaining which locations and quests the monster can be found in. Lastly, a "Lore" section is needed, explaining the nature/race of the creature and any plot significance they may have. For some monsters, you might also need a "Reward" section for those with special drop bonuses. A "Design" section might also be necessary to cover trivia points, etymology and other references.
 * The statistics would be best formatted as a table-esque template with the appropriate parameters. The template would be tabbed for different levels, as they are now. This way, the template is much less obtrusive, allowing the focus to be on the other lore, plot, and strategy aspects of the page.
