 * Move armor articles to their new, post-May 24th update names. Update links to point to the new armor pages. -- Gordon Ecker 23:27, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It would appear to have been completed by hand, which is good; I have no idea how to start about programing the bot to do that. A bot's more for highly repetitive edits, and this is a request that would require a different change for each article. MisterPepe talk 20:45, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Now that it's been moved, the link cleanup can be handled with the double redirect bot, assuming that programming a bot to clean up double redirects is feasible. -- Gordon Ecker 23:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It is, I ran a test earlier today. It works perfectly ;) MisterPepe talk 23:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC) [EDIT] - As of right now, all double redirects have been fixed. MisterPepe talk 23:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * If a bot could change all of the pages that include Image:Aiiane-a.gif to Image:User Aiiane-a.gif, it'd be nice. Otherwise, I personally don't mind just redlinking them, but meh. [[Image:User Aiiane-a.gif|Go to Aiiane's Talk page]] (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 22:11, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's going to ping the talk pages of a bunch of users, so I personally won't do it; I don't see the need to bother a bunch of people over something like this, especially since a) the images are the same, b) there's no policy that says you need the User prefix for signature images. Just change your sig from now on to the new name and leave those as they are, why complicate things needlessly? --Dirigible 00:10, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. MisterPepe talk 02:26, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Fine with me - only reason I posted this request was because gem had brought it up (see User talk:Aiiane). If no one else seems to mind the image being around, I see no reason to change it.

 * Lemming64 pointed out my signature icon uses the incorrect format for an icon and I've been using it since the website started. I need all pages using these icons to be changed to my correct icon so that I can delete the old incorrect ones.  Incorrect icons: Image:User Vallen signature.jpg, Image:Image-User Vallen Frostweaver signature.jpg, Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG Correct icon: Image:User Vallen Frostweaver signature.jpg .  Let me know if you need anything more or if I can be of some assistance.  Thank you. --[[Image:User Vallen Frostweaver signature.jpg]]  Vallen Frostweaver  13:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Please see the comment on Aiiane's signature icon (Declined Requests) poke | talk 13:32, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As Poke pointed out, GWW:SIGN still doesn't require for all those images to have that particular naming scheme. Easier to leave them where they are, I think, so we can avoid bothering people. :) --Dirigible 22:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Add Inactive guild to all guild articles requiring it (they must have received no edits in 6 months). --[[Image:User The Great Tomato sig.jpg|The Great Tomato]] The Great Tomato 18:59, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think this is a great idea due to the fact that per Guild page policy we normally should have to check the ingame activity before we can tag the page.. Which is imo a bit stupid.. poke | talk 19:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah i would agree with that - how do you check ingame activity of a guild that lists a forum that needs you to register to view the forums? A guild leader that is rarely online due to work or perhaps you just happen to miss him/her? Generally there are around 10-15 guild articles 5 of which you cant be certain of and the rest qualify for it anyway. And if by mistake the guild does become tagged what happens then? 90% of the time there are no attempts to remove the tag within the month. Spending 5-10 minutes per page adding contacts to my friends list, pming them to see what guild they are in, see if they know the guilds status if they arent, registering on a forum then burrowing through threads, or rummaging through the website to see signs of life just takes far too long.
 * This may sound harsh but i'm all in favour of just marking pages with the tag then be done with it - if they are active and are watching the page because they took the 5mins to register and set it up so they get the email in their inbox telling them its been edited for this reason then 'wooh' good on them - now they can change it accordingly --[[Image:User The Great Tomato sig.jpg|The Great Tomato]] The Great Tomato 20:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should bring this up at GWW:GUILD then? poke | talk 21:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If they care enough about their guild page, then they have enough time to remove the tag before it is deleted. &mdash;  ク  Eloc  貢  03:20, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I have brought this up at Guild Wars Wiki talk:Guild pages as Poke suggested, feel free to contribute to the discussion --[[Image:User The Great Tomato sig.jpg|The Great Tomato]] The Great Tomato 16:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
