Enemy Data Templates
Often times, enemy table rows will appear in game specific enemy data templates. Additional fields available in this template that help "select" one of the rows from an enemy data template. There are several ways to select a row, all of which involve matching the first argument to the enemy data template with the values of one of the Enemy Table Row fields.

One way to select the enemy is to enter the no (enemy number) field. This method is often used for games where it is debatable what to call an enemy. Entering the number ensures that even if someone updates the name of the enemy in the enemy data template, any references to that enemy in any page they appear in remains unchanged. Changing the "no" value will require updating any other table that references that number. For many of the earlier games, "no" is an arbitrary number and not official.

Another way to select the enemy is to enter the name of the enemy as seen in Name field. Normally, the Name field is a hyperlink to a page with double square brackets around it. If the Name is in this simple form, an enemy can be selected by entering the value of the Name field minus the double square brackets. If the name is a link to one page, but displays the name of another field, this method will not work. Instead, a separate field can be created for this enemy called index_name. This field should match what the Name field looks like to the viewer of the page. For example, if the "name" field is Fish Man (points to the Merman page but displays Fish Man as the name), then the "index_name" field should be "Fish Man". Sometimes when making a change to the Name field in cases where the new name field is in an index-able format (simple hyperlink), the value of the Name can be moved to the "index_name" field to ensure that any pages that used to reference the old name (especially those the updater might not be aware of) can still reference that row.

In cases where there is no "official" English name for an enemy in a particular game and there are multiple names that could be valid, or there are two different "official" names for an enemy in that game, an altname field can be specified. This will cause the word "[alt]" to appear after the enemy name and hovering the mouse above the word alt will cause a popup window to appear to display the altname. Altname can contain more than one name in it. If it only contains one name, however, it is possible to enter that altname to select an enemy from an enemy table template. However, one should be careful if altname for one enemy matches the name or altname of another enemy, as this will cause both enemies to be selected from the table. To avoid this in these instances, you can enter a space after the name in altname to prevent it from being index-able.

Entering no enemy name or number causes "all" of the enemies in that table to be selected. This is usually used in Bestiary pages, which list every enemy in the data template.
