Select this page's Edit tab above, select all of its contents, copy them, and then paste them into whatever new mob page you are creating. Then, simply fill in its blanks and make changes and deletions as needed.
Each mob's page's title (with few exceptions like Aelmon) should equal its name as displayed by Look or Where or such without any leading articles (namely A, An, or The) and with every one of its words capitalized. So, for example, a page made for "the wildman of Avatar" would be titled Wildman Of Avatar. Pages made for different mobs that share a single name will need to be "disambiguated" (see our Disambiguation category under Wiki Stuff for more information about this subject).
Mob description is determined by looking at it. Mob keywords are determined only through trial-and-error; they are often but not always in its name and/or short description. Mob level is best determined by killing it and then identifying its corpse. Mob alignment and flags may both be determined via Bioscan. Some mob affects (like fly and sanctuary) are visible to everyone; most other affects may be determined using Bioscan.
