Neopets Revisions

Normal Neopet is a profile. Needs to be worked on.

There's about 55 species of Neopet. (Ignore the image at the top, it's out of date. Also, note that it displays the species randomly in Blue, Green, Red or Yellow randomly, because those are the 4 "Basic" colours for Neopets, & as such, official lists on the sites tend to use a random basic colours for each pet image when the page is visited. For example: https://www.neopets.com/allpets.phtml )

The main thing to do is first get those Powers & Abilities up to date. It's good the profile lists the New Faerie Abilities, but it fails to account for many of them in P&A:

In my opinion, there should be tabbers for each of the following:
1. New Faerie Abilities (Which are what the profile lists.)
2. P&A granted by species (For this, all species should share 1 tabber, with the P&A justifications listing which species get which abilities, preventing the need for 55 profiles/tabbers.)

There are also a few things to be added in later revision that are too much work to do when the profile still needs P&A clean-up; These abilities are more optional to list:

3. P&A granted by "colour" (But not at this time; That's a whole debate/revision for after this hurdle is cleared.)
4. Old Species Abilities & Resistances (Also a hurdle for later.)
5. Old Faerie Abilities (Faerie Abilities are granted to a Neopet by Faeries. Should be doable, but can wait.)
6. P&A granted by Equipment.
7. P&A granted by Species-Exclusive Equipment.


In theory, the Neopet species do differ significantly, but because all Neopet species are capable of fighting one another in the Battledome (The combat system, basically. At least, for player-owned Neopets, unlike unique individuals such as in stories.), they should all scale to each other; Combined with the fact they'll end up sharing several Faerie Abilities & Equipment Abilities due to having access to almost all of the same stuff, I don't think they need individual profiles.

Instead, the one profile should just have 55 different tabber images. One for each species. Unfortunately, this may also mean a redirect for the Species name of every Species, but it's much better than 55 full profiles who will often share many similar in P&A & Statistics.

For species that do somehow differ in Statistics, those species should have their own Key added in the Statistics. All species without distinct Statistics should share a singular key. (Perhaps the species with distinct statistics listed first, then the last key for those with indistinct statistics has "All other Neopet species".)


How can you help me with this?


Some of the images in the gallery need to be rendered, & practically all of them should be Tabber images, please. Of course, such should be done in a Sandbox, since. I'm not very experienced with Tabbers.

Insert redirects to the page for all 55 Species Names. (Unless we're splitting it into 55 very similar profiles, which I still don't think is an ideal move.)

Or you can discuss/edit in regards to what New Faerie Abilities & Old Faerie Abilities correspond to what P&A to be given.
Having the images for those abilities where applicable may also be valuable; The Old Faerie Abilities have some especially nice images, IMHO.

Gathering all the information on what species have which species exclusive equipment (& if you want, species exclusive abilities) would also be helpful.

Mentioning general cleanup changes could be helpful.
Discuss potential Statistics/P&A Revisions to be made in the near future. Try to keep them simple & uncontroversial if you can.

Obviously, there are other profiles & parts of the 'verse to work on, but the generic Neopet species that are owned by Players are a huge focus of the 'verse, so this is an important starting point.
