Templates
So just wondering how does one go about making a template and how does one know if its even worth being a template? I probably should give more info than that. I have basically bastardized the elite skill page coding and modified it to my own uses to serve as my skill capture page. Now the only other template i could find on this was very awkward to use and not very user friendly or pretty and I think that my adapted page is better than it, however I'm not sure if their is any point in making it a template for others to use and even if there was a point, I'm unsure how to go about making it so. The page can be seen here and your comments would be greatly appreciated. -- Salome

- Hey Salome! You can get basic instructions on creating a Template here. I have also created an Elite skills template here that is fairly easy to use. --

00:25, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- The best ways of learning template syntax would be to either read it straight from a manual (the help pages on this wiki and Meta) or look at existing templates and modify for yourself. Once you know the simple stuff, it's fairly easy to use it for your own template. --

Galil
Matey do you know if Galil is alright or not? As not seen him in ages and just a bit worried about him. -- Salome
15:26, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- No, unfortunately he hasn't been on since around April 4. If I remember correctly, he had been a little busy with exams and essays, so perhaps he has taken a wiki-break until they are over. It may be worth asking Helena as she knows him in "real life". --

Hey Brains as you're on, can you have a look at the guild page for Mortem_Ferentes as the sidebar seems to be going into the content.

Images
Hello Brains12, one or more of the images you have recently uploaded have not been named properly as per our image policy. It says that images that are uploaded for use in the User namespace need to be named in the following format: User <User name> <short description>.<file extention> . For example, User Brains12 fail.jpg .
Reading and filling out the upload form will help you a lot with naming and tagging images, so I recommend you take your time when uploading an image. Thanks. Calor

Rude much?
"begging does not constitute "community news""; I was not begging for anything. The donations are for a contest which will be hosted by the [GOD] alliance, the donations are not for me. That was very rude on your part. If you did not agree with it being there, you could have put; "maybe you should wait until the contest is launched", or something to the like. --Shadowphoenix

- (Edit conflict) Community news, yes, not asking for donations to fund an in-game project of yours. I would think enough users watch your talk page that you don't need to plaster it on the community portal. Even better, contact people ingame if they want to give you stuff. That's what guilds are for.

(Reset indent) To be fair, Shadowphoenix, other community events such as Cinco de Mayo and Oktoberfest have only ever gotten a wiki page with a tag stating the event was a community organized one, so I don't see why the event for [GOD] should get special treatment. Why not just create an event page on the wiki? Kokuou 18:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- @ Calor, thats because they where not officially seen as events. Plus no wiki page was needed at the time. @ Brains In need of a wiki break also? @ SP. Lifes life, not everything will get accepted.

I recently created the articles for the Anguished Souls. I've got two questions about that. 1: was it ok that I used the image of a Spirit of Shelter? I know for a fact they share the same appearence, but I'm wondering if a true authentic picture is needed. Second, I added a bit of info into Anguished Souls, but I'm not sure what it would exactly fall under. right now, its an NPC stub with a list of the spirits, but I'm not sure how to expand on that (and yes, I've read formatting, no luck yet :P). If you can look into those, that'd be nice. I just want to make sure I didnt screw anything up again. --

- If it is simply a list of all types of Anguished Souls, make it a disambiguation page with {{disambig}} and a list of the spirits; something like the Seborhin Pest page. If they are not Angushed Souls, but simply related, leave it as an NPC stub for expansion (i.e. as it is now). --

"Why are we letting a couple of words delay this for so long?"
Because of the difficulty of changing anything once it has been committed to policy in our current state, there's a huge impetus to not let something be committed until every last problem is worked out.

- Draft B has received positive responses and "gogos" from, as I said, everyone but Backsword. When the change is as little as how something is logged, and when it would be extremely rare for something needing logging, it slows down what would be a huge achievement in getting that policy accepted. The outlook on draft E has been apathetic so far, so I can't help thinking that it would be better to implement B and then work out the minute detail that is the logging of a rare occurrence. --

switch "Orders" with "Order"?
i just tried to rework the article a bit and wanted to add "Orders" as redirect to "Order" afterwards, but you were faster than me :P Yet shouldn't articles use singular forms instead? —Zerpha
The Improver 11:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ah sorry, I should have let you finish. If you wanted to rework it as a build-type article, it should be Orders because it usually has to work with a set of them; if it's a descriptive article about what an "Order" is, then it should be Order. I assumed you created the Order page because you weren't aware of the Orders page, seeing as it wasn't moved but created from scratch instead. Sorry :P --
Brains12 \ talk 13:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- nah, np. I also didn't know that the Orders page is treated as build - since it does at least currently not seem to be focused on that, and rather on the skill lists. (As i already somewhere noticed once, i'd prefer a "warning message" for build pages. —Zerpha
The Improver 19:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Not really sure, so I guess you should go ahead and do what you were originally going to do :/ --
Brains12 \ talk 19:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- I was going to switch these two articles now as it didn't look like a build in my eyes, but Murex changed the Order article now to a disambig. This should be ok for now. —Zerpha

Look at the deletion log for LOL, we performed a simultaneous deletion. --Kakarot

- When you tag a page and it is deleted, before you press tag&save, then you recreate the page :P poke | talk 19:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

"as ingame"
Wasn't the previous one the concise description? —Zerpha
The Improver 12:23, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Traditional - While suffering from this condition, you deal less damage with attacks and all of your attributes are reduced by 1. Concise - You deal 66% less damage with attacks and your attributes are reduced by 1. Do we go with the traditional or concise for the condition in-game description? --

so i herd ur just active in the "muddy" gwguru thread?
After having read the thread i actually rly think this is only a fake. I also noticed that the icon was noticeable popping out of its trade spot...Though this icon really looks like an original-sized version of Smurf's previous little upload as seen at artistans. —Zerpha
The Improver 02:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, it may seem credible, yet as you say, it's popping out of the slot -- does that happen with any other items? The image could probably stay on the article until we know for sure that it's a fake. --
Brains12 \ talk 02:34, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- At least they normally don't pop out of the slot as much as the Clay Brick does. They nearly overlap a bit. —Zerpha
The Improver 02:40, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- If you say it's noticeably similar to Smurf's icon, then I would be content with leaving it. Perhaps it's just a fake of the actual icon put into the trade window, and not of the icon itself. --
Brains12 \ talk 02:43, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- yeah, i also thought of that. It is either a nicely resized image, or he was also able to extract a 64x64px icon and simply copy-pasted it into the trade screenshot. —Zerpha
The Improver 02:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Either way, it serves its purpose on the article ^^ --

Not stackable items -> non-stackable items
You once told me that you'd prefer the old category name again. You posted your proposal there and meant you will wait a bit longer. In case you forgot about that again, i think you waited long enough now and can change the category name back if you want. :P —Zerpha
The Improver 17:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well the rest of the people involved in the discussion preferred "not stackable", so I think I'll bump it instead of deciding against them :) --

Layout
I've been trying to get your user info layout to work for me, but the way wiki works with HTML is so ... weird I cant figure anything out!! Arg. How do i change the color of the backgrounds and all the test you wrote??? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MechanicalMedusa (talk • contribs) at 18:45, 31 May 2008 (UTC).
- Hey there. Well you first need a little knowledge in how wikicode works, including templates, so I suggest you read Help:Editing and go to some of the links at the bottom of that page too.
- My table code comes from User:Brains12/Table - you could copy that to User:MechanicalMedusa/Table and then change the code to suit your needs. The text that I wrote comes from User:Brains12/Userpage2; however, the code there is a little more confusing, and it's pretty redundant as well - what you could do is this: on my main page, User:Brains12, you'll see
|main text={{User:Brains12/Userpage2|main text}}. To add in text for yourself on your own main userpage, just replace the{{User:Brains12/Userpage2|main text}}code with whatever you want it to say. So, for example,|main text=Hi, hello.. - This might be a little confusing, so I would suggest either taking time to learn the various wiki code or experimenting on your own page. --

I fixed it at User:Brains12/Sandbox/PvX, so just copy that code into your PvX template and it should work -- just a note though, the parameters for the professions, attributes and attribute values are now named, so you would want to copy the usage notes too. You can see both templates in action at User:Brains12/Sandbox -- yours is the Stuff 1, mine is the Stuff 2. :) --

Thanks for the help. I've also been looking for how to do those navigation strips... do you know what im talking about? Kind of like what you have on the top, with the different links to your other pages, and it fits in perfectly with your table. This guy has the same thing ---> http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User:Warior_kronos/Rago_Kindelrock Is there any way to get that for my page http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User:MechanicalMedusa I gave up and just made an image, hope it shows up.

Omg brains, I suck. Could you make a couple more fixes to the Template?
- I need the extra "If you want solid, the border becomes solid" thing removed.
- A bar that goes across, on the bottom of the skill bar, for Template Code.
- Another bar under that for the Equipment code.
- Also, they must be optional.
- And.. uhh. That's about it.
That would be a great help. :D Halogod35
01:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not quite sure what you mean for the first bullet, and it's a little late for me to be looking through all that code (3.40 am :P), so I didn't do that. I added the extra bars, but they don't quite work when I put the optional thingy around it... I might give it another try tomorrow or perhaps Y0 can fix it - he's more experienced with user templates and stuff like this :P. Sorry --
