Could you get one without the white background plz? &mdash; Seru    Talk 21:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I was just going to start a topic and noticed this one. Oh phew, I narrowly avoided a GWW Etiquette Breach! Anyway, I was sort of wondering how often you update that drama graph... drameter? And then I pondered, "When Lemming updates, does the little user box also update for those who spot it on their pages?" Anyway, it's a cute idea, although I think maybe another level -- Much Gnashing of Teeth Has Ensued -- might be warranted. But that's just because I seldom get to use "gnash" and "ensued" in everyday conversation. ;) -- Gaile 03:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes i made it so the userbox updates as Lemming updates his meter. All Lemming has to do is changes a number from to 1 2 3 or 4 and it updates everywhere. &mdash; Seru   [[Image:User Seru Sig2.png|19px]] Talk 03:57, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

User:Shard That guy really could be the new raptors. Change to level 4 drama? lol &mdash; Seru    Talk 04:32, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't think we are there yet. Level 4 is for "Oh shit, raptors is back!" times only (even though other frecuent visitors of the block log would qualify also). We are just in an after-update rage-trolling period that will die soon anyways.--Fighterdoken 21:33, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey Lemming! I love your work on the wiki and as a sysop. Good job!

Anyway, i was wondering if you would let me use your layout on my page and if so, help me with it. Please? --Burning Freebies 20:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Contests
Hey Lemming, can I ask why some of the contests are disambiguated with the year in brackets, e.g. Design-a-Weapon (2007), and some just have the year as part of the full title, e.g. Wintersday Art Contest 2007? Guild Wars Wiki:Formatting/Article names says "takes the form of a suffix in parentheses (generally in lowercase) after the basic name," so they should be in those brackets, unless I'm missing something (and I probably am). Thanks -- Brains12 \ talk 20:45, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you got the point in that they are all different, I did start correcting a few earlier but didn't have time to fix them all, basically different people created them with no set format at the time which is why they vary. I probably did a few moves in the wrong direction though, feel free to correct them as the formatting guide suggests, I would do it now but I have to get some kip before work tomorrow. -- Lemming [[Image:User Lemming64 sigicon.png]] 23:33, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Guild Wars 2 Suggestions
Greetings!

I'm writing a canned message of sorts to a select handful of Guild Wars Wiki users whom I believe share a similar passion of mine: exchanging new concepts and ideas for Guild Wars. I chose you by simply jotting down names that showed up frequently in the discussion of the GW2 Suggestion Pages here on the Wiki. If you have no interest in the matter or feel that I'm imposing upon you, I will thank you for your time; please disregard/delete this message. If, however, you do have a creative streak and enjoy sharing your ideas with the hopes that they'll some day be adopted into the game you love, then read on!

I like to think that, on occasion, I have have a good idea. And when it's concerning something I'm very passionate about (like Guild Wars) I tend to go all-out. When Guild Wars 2 was announced back in March of 2007, I was very excited! Here was an opportunity to get some of the features I've really been wanting to see in an MMO integrated into one of my favorite games! The question was, how could I get the developers to actually pay attention to any of my ideas? In my naivety, I began posting them on “Guild Wars 2 Suggestion” topics on several forums of popular GW community sites, only to realize that, as more and more suggestions were posted, my posts became buried. I never got the feedback I desired (were any of my ideas even good?), and I could only assume that ArenaNet would have a slim chance of coming across them in all the drivel and flaming that accompanies forum topics.

Disheartened, but not defeated, I decided that I (and many other creative minds) needed a place where they could post their ideas without them being buried... where other players could easily vote on them, and post suggestions of their own! Thus, I created a site called NikiWiki. Unfortunately, either due to my requests for fansitedom going through the wrong channels, or a lack of understanding on ArenaNet's part, NikiWiki never really took off. At around that time ArenaNet set up a “receptacle” for posting Guild Wars 2 suggestions here on the Guild Wars Wiki. But I saw this as only a tiny step up from posting in forums. How does anyone know what new ideas really matter to the players?

So I've decided to take another stab.

I'll spare you any further ramblings, and introduce you to the Guild Wars Feedback Community. All I'm asking is that you take a few moments of your time and visit the site. Create an account if you wish – everything is free, there is no spam, etc... there aren't even any advertisements on the site. I do all this simply out of my love of the game, and a selfish desire to see Guild Wars 2 become the ultimate MMO!

The GWFC is not perfect by far, please understand that it's currently in beta. I hope that with some input from like minded individuals, this site can become a valuable resource for the developers at ArenaNet and folks like you and I who need a creative outlet. Feel free to criticize (constructively or not), make suggestions of your own, or brow-beat me in any way you feel necessary. I've set up a topic for GWFC site feedback you can use, but feel free to write to me on my Wiki discussion page, or holler at me in-game. Thank you for all of your time, and I hope to see you on the Feedback Community site!

Sincerely,

--Brokunn 03:26, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think I have ever posted on a GW2 suggestion page really, not with any suggestions anyhow. Thanks for the information though. -- Lemming [[Image:User Lemming64 sigicon.png]] 18:53, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected pages
Saw you categorising some pages in the protection categories - just a note that there are better ways to see and sort the protected pages at Special:Protectedpages and Special:Protectedtitles. It was discussed at Guild Wars Wiki talk:Admin noticeboard/Archive 3, and the outcome was that we should go to the Special pages instead if that was the better option. No one seems to have gotten around to removing the current categories though :P... I'll do that later today. -- Brains12 \ talk 16:01, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The categories have their uses though, it makes it easier for regular users to identify protected pages they are actually on, and request deprotection in lieu of a template notification at the top of a page itself. It also helps distinguish temporarily protected pages to deprotect them. But if we want to just use the special pages I don't mind. -- Lemming [[Image:User Lemming64 sigicon.png]] 16:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * They will notice the page being protected when they try to edit it :P And if they don't want to edit it there is also no reason to request unprotection.
 * So what about putting some more information about unprotection-requests on the protected-notice page? poke | talk 16:25, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a good solution Poke. I definitely think we need to let "lay-man" users know somewhere how to request deprotection, if they think it is required. -- Lemming [[Image:User Lemming64 sigicon.png]] 16:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * One thing I don't like about having categories for protected pages is that some users will mistakenly think that by simply adding their page to such a category, their page will get protected. Or for other users who simply think it's "fun" to add their page to such a category. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 02:06, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * So, stop using the categories and add more info to the protection notice? -- [[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|18px|]] Brains12 \ talk 17:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't mind the categories, I'm just irked at the users who use those categories wrongly :) but anyway, yea, better protection notice would be preferable to categories. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 09:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Weapon models template
Yeah, my reply is quite late, but some time ago i made this template for the Weapon models project, and i just noticed you proposed to move it to the template namespace on the template talk. I wasn't sure whether it's ok to create templates for this purpose in the "template mainspace", therefore i placed it in my userspace... Do you think it's still reasonable to change it? &mdash;Zerpha The Improver 07:48, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
