Guild Wars Wiki talk:List of guilds by tag

Namespace
Any particular reason why the GWW namespace was chosen for this page instead of the main namespace? -- ab.er. rant  02:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I chose it because it is a list that lists all entries within the Guild Wars Wiki - not all guilds that are in the game so the GWW namespace seemed more appropriate to me. But feel free to move if you like poke | talk 14:31, March 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * To me it depends on purpose; is the list for manageing the wiki or a resource for 'normal' users? Also, unrelated, could we not do this by DPL? THe wiki cries at the page size, and DPL would be autoupdated. Backsword 14:36, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * DPL is limited to 500 entries and that is the reason it was decided to do this manually. As to the namespace I'd say it's fine as it is. -- Kakarot [[Image:User Kakarot Sig.gif|Talk]] 14:40, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Also a lot guild page don't put their tag into the infobox but the header title; and when I made the list, I looked into both, so we get a lot more valid results than with DPL. poke | talk 14:56, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, how do I get my guild on the list?
 * Create a guild page for your guild. See HELP:GUILD. --[[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png | Wyn's Talk page]] Wyn 02:15, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, did that. Please let me know how often the page is updated.  Great page, btw.Sjhshh 03:44, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It is updated when someone poke's poke to update it. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  03:47, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Did I hear my name? poke | talk 07:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Many thanks Poke -- you're a gentleman and a scholar.Sjhshh 01:13, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

[RI] I for one think it is a very good idea, since we see players names with their associated guild tag, this way we can look them up and see what their guild is all about. Goood Work, Poke!! MystiLefemEle 10:36, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there a way to look up Guilds by name alphabetically also or can you just do the tags? Which may or may not have anything to do with the actual name of the particular Guild, as many know.  69.182.174.55 19:23, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Category:All guilds -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  19:28, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. 42 -  talk  20:11, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Poke, good work on the list. The only improvement I could see is to have a link to the category page of the guild names listed alphabetically. I already put a note and a link on the category page to this page. 42 - talk  20:47, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Category:Guilds has everything you need, imo. And Category:All guilds is linked in the table's title... poke | talk 21:14, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Didn't see the link embedded in the title, and my browser doesn't have the links auto-underlined, only on hover. Thought it was only a different color representation (not going to comb through the source to see if it is a link or not).  42 -  talk  21:52, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * We generally don't change text colors (and especially not to blue) so that blue texts are always links. poke | talk 21:54, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Protection
Can someone make it semi? Pretty please! - J.P. Talk  06:42, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Why? It's created by a script poke uses. There is no reason for anyone else to edit it. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  07:04, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * How does it work? All i see in the code is a hand made list. - J.P.[[Image:User J.P. sigicon.png| ]] Talk  08:00, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It's actually 12k lines of generated code. poke | talk 08:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Guilds
It should be semi so that we could post our own guild up there, it doens't have all of them =) --Runningbaka 21:42, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a manually updated page. It's created by poke mostly as a maintenance page to check for guild pages that have not properly added their guild tag. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  21:44, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not a maintanance page.. It's more a list of guilds sorted by tag name.. The list has all guilds that have a valid tag set somewhere. poke | talk 21:47, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

So how do I get my guild up there? --Runningbaka 21:53, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Just did an update. If your guild has a valid tag it will automatically appear sooner or later. I put the list with invalid guilds here. poke | talk 21:57, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It should probably be mentioned that your guild has to have an active page here. If not, use the F10 menu link for your guild name in game to create one. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  22:18, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I did not understand any of that XD (The part how to activate the Guild right here on wiki) --Runningbaka 22:43, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * From within the game, press F10 to open the Help panel. Then if you scroll down to the bottom, you have a "Guilds" section with all guilds from your alliance, your guild being the first displayed. Click on the guild and you'll be taken to the wiki with instructions on how to create a page for your guild. poke | talk 22:48, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * sweet thanks --Runningbaka 22:59, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Update requests

 * *pokes Poke*. I've just create my guild's page (The Toot Police [TooT]).  Could you update this page pls? --Combatter 20:21, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have the script here currently (I didn't moved it back yet from my backup when I sent my notebook to the repair). I'll make an update as soon as I did that (expect it sometime this week). poke | talk 20:27, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
