Skills
Hey Cloud, I read on gwshack.us that you have all information regarding "uses corpses", "are snares" etc available in a db? Perhaps it might be possible for you to hook up at the skill infobox-template and perhaps through a wiki-bot merge that kind of information into all the GW skills. I'd suggest discussing it first before implementing it, but we are also trying to get DPL installed. Using the extra information, creating pages like Bleeding, is going to be so much easier.

Unless I've misintepreted what you currently have for database... -- (CoRrRan / talk) 13:58, 28 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It should be doable, see below to get an idea of what I have. There are 153(!) separate effect tags that are assigned to skills and then some grouping filters for the various tags. The tags tend to be more accurately assigned to the professions and skills that I use the most, especially for skills where just reading the description isn't enough to know what it does. But conditions, corpse use, and most of the less esoteric things should be good.


 * What I'd really like is if there were more fields in the skill descriptions here on the wiki for things like target (self, foe, ally, other ally, ...), aoe (single target, target & adjacent, party members, ...), range (self, touch, spell range, half normal, ...), and probably a few others.

 * Illusion of Haste was a better example then I expected, since its a skill that causes crippling, but I don't consider it to be a cripple causer. Cloud 06:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Skill corrections
I'm maintaining a list of every skill on GWW that differs from the in game description and how it is different at and am mentioning this to everyone that reverts one of my changes ;) Cloud 21:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
