Help:Large Monster Pages
This is a help page describing how to properly edit Large Monster pages on this wiki, such as Great Jagras
Prerequisites
You should be familiar with the basics of using the Mediawiki software: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents
Creating a New Page
- Navigate to https://mhwiki.xyz/wiki/Sandbox_Monster_Page
- Select edit
- Copy the contents of the page, excluding the final line that includes "Do not include in the filled pages"
- Navigate to the large monster page that you wish to create
- Paste the contents from the sandbox page
- Edit according to the guidelines below
It can be helpful to view the markdown of an already existing monster page to use as a reference.
Editing an Existing Page
The following definitions and conventions have been established for the various fields on the page. Please follow them to keep all pages consistent, or reach out to Wiki staff if you believe they should be changed.
Most fields should be sufficiently described by the default info copied from the sandbox page, but some sections are described in more detail below.
This is the navigation bar at the top of a large monster page with related monsters. If the mosnter whose page you're creating has a subspecies, deviant, etc. simply add the monster's name in the corresponding field of this template. Delete any unused fields. "Related Species" refers to a minion (such as Jagras to Great Jagras), opposite gender categorized as another monster (such as Rathian to Rathalos), or a different growth stage (such as Gravios to Basarios). It does not cover any other cases of looser relation (such as Radobaan to Uragaan). If the monster does not have any other monster that fits the criteria for any of these fields, remove the entire template.
MonsterInfobox
This is the infobox that appears in the top right of the large monster pages.

Title
Also known in English as a nickname or alias. The sources for these in order of preference are...
- An official localization from in a main series game
- An official localization from printed media
- A fan translation from the text in a Japanese main series game
- A fan translation from the text in Japanese printed media
If you are editing this section because you believe the title to be in error, please be sure you are not replacing a higher preference version with a lower preference one, as they can be inconsistent even in official localizations. In the case of a conflict within the same level of preference (ie, two different main series games), the more recent release should be used.
