Generator NPC import
Having a NPC generator where you can input settings/restrictions/type and then transfer straight to an article.
Currently making bulk NPCs to fill towns is something very labour intensive if made in World Anvil. any effective solutions require finding external generators and importing them into World Anvil is again very labour-intensive.Furthermore making a generator usable for settings other than high-fantasy would be very appreciated. This will help centralise more aspects of worldbuilding to World Anvil instead of forcing us elsewhere. This helps everyone with their worldbuilding, streamlining the creation of non-essential npcs. Instead of spending time unnecessarily creating the local butcher, or PC's neighbours, the World Builder can focus on the important NPCs.
Follow up
It CAN'T be handled by random generators since there are no available Generators for generic names to be found. Elf names, city names, Aztec names, seem to have generators but not names commonly found in the US or Europe. And the idea was to not have to input all relevant details in the NPC article for "extras". It's a shame to since the popular "NPC generator" here on WA would work if it just had names as well.
The Team's Response
This can be handled by using random generators :) That is what they are there for.

on 2022-02-02 11:46This is what the Random Generators on World Anvil are for. There just isn't a good NPC generator yet for a generic fantasy world.

on 2022-02-01 17:08Using API-access to create articles based on an external format, sounds like a better way than having WA spend a lot of time on generating NPCs in many different ways.
