could you help me, i would like to set up a page, and possible a guild page, any input would be wonderful, thank you. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:69.183.35.69 (talk).

Sure. I'm going to bed in a few minutes as it's late here, but I'll have time tomorrow afternoon (1900 UTC and after). Before making the pages though, I suggest you look at GWW:USER, GWW:GUILD, and Help:Editing. Calor 03:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] talk

cheater, you left one topic so i can't say first :P - Y0_ich_halt 20:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Only because I archive every 12th of the month, and both those comments were on the 13th. Calor 21:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

in that case... - Y0_ich_halt 21:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity why the 12th? --Kakarot 02:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

The first time I archived, by chance it was the twelfth. Then my page got around archiving size a few days before the twelfth of the next month. So I figured it would be organized to have a n archive for each month, so the past few months I've been archiving every twelfth. Calor 03:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah that makes sense, just seemed a bit weird if it was a random choice. --Kakarot 03:18, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome!

Hi Calor :D Welcome to GWW! I notice you have been building your userpage. Did you know you can use the Show Preview button to see how it's going to look prior to actually saving it? Also, when you make small changes, it's often better to select This is a minor edit box above the Save page button. Many users that watch the Recent changes page have minor edits hidden thus your small changes would not show up. Feel free to contact any helper if you have questions. Anyway, happy wiki-ing and welcome! -- Brains12 23:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Specterryu? Reminds me of Inspector Gadget... Also, I highly suggest you follow GWW:F*CKOFF :p Calor 23:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict x4) No offense to anyone . But thats getting old, seriously. Dominator Matrix 23:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Err, what? And how are you ec'ed 5 times in a section with 4 comments before you? Calor 23:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Slow typer, plus rapid messaging >> Dominator Matrix 23:24, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Err, no. 4 comments = 4 times to be ec'ed. Calor 23:24, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I double-edited, so that would be 5 edit conflicts. -- Brains12 23:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Right. I forgot, sysops make errors :) Calor 23:26, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I've edit conflicted myself before on one addition so that could of been another reason. --Kakarot 23:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

You're Kakarot. We're discussing normal users here :p Calor 23:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Historical skill icons

nice idea :D —ZerphaThe Improver 00:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, Wyn came up with it, I'm simply doing the dirty work. I figured you'd like it, considering the time you've invested in historical aspects of the game. Calor 00:03, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

 :) Well yeah, it's kinda interesting to see some skills that were planned or removed during development. But Rusky reuploaded all these icons with a new better brightness afterwards. —ZerphaThe Improver 00:06, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Aye, Risky went on a spree. Calor 00:07, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, except for some of the seperate allegiance rank icons, he uploaded new better quality versions for the icons, some of them even more than twice. (These seperate luxon/kurzick skill icons are seemingly forgotten at times :P) —ZerphaThe Improver 00:11, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Veiled shot at me there, Zerpha? :p Calor 00:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Me? Never —ZerphaThe Improver 00:14, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

You're going to tag all these icons a second time by campaign? °-° —ZerphaThe Improver 00:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Maybe. Calor 00:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Lol no, please. One person puts less load on RC and the watchers. Calor 00:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

too bad. Well ok, i'll go to sleep then. goodnight, and hf with your new category tagging spree^^ —ZerphaThe Improver 00:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] the show...

must go on! :P —ZerphaThe Improver 01:17, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

My list is dwindling, tragically. I'm probably gonna get Poke with Wikichu to do the ones by campaign. Then I'm thinking something like elites by campaign with Wikichu. Calor 01:19, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Meh, my fingers were screaming carpal tunnel syndrome. Calor 01:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, give me some of the load, I'll do my best.  :-) Also, I'm watching lol, Kingdom Hears at the moment. --People of Antioch 01:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps. On a side note, what city/town is Regina in in-game? Calor 01:27, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

/shrug --People of Antioch 01:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your assistance in this affair, People of Antioch. Your information is of great value to us and will be put to good use. Calor 01:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Lol, i didn't get everyting from this vid, but the south park and James Blunt part were my favourites.
Calor, to what did you refer with your question? I doubt Regina is online now, is she? —ZerphaThe Improver 02:00, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I have her in my Friends List so I know when she's on, and she was on earlier. Calor 02:02, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Interwiki links

I noticed here how you linked the wiki pages, it's much easier using inter wiki links. Your links could have been shown like DPL and DynamicPageLinks and they show up as internal links instead of external links. Just an FYI. — Rappy 03:51, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

It's easier to just hotlink it when you don't know the right interwiki marker, instead of going through trial and error. -- Brains12 13:13, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. I know Wikipedia's is w, but I didn't know the ones I linked, so it was easier to copy the URL and paste it. Calor 16:18, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Guild Wars utopia edit

Please feel free to undo my edit by all means. Although the word "utopia" was being used incorrectly, it is still the common usage of the word. Since the note said it is commonly used to describe a perfect society or something along those lines, it was acceptable with the understanding that it was using the most common usage. Even if the usage is technically incorrect, it is still the general usage, which is what the note was reffering to. --68.222.91.49 13:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. I've always known "Utopia" to be an ideal society, and I'm sure that's what 95% of the people know it as. Thanks, Calor 14:20, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Move

ty i almost forgot to =D King- 03:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I was just about to notify you on your talk page, but you beat me here. Just remember to make all your subpages at User:Kingofcats/Subpagenamehere. Thanks :) Calor 03:09, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Can it be deleted for U2 considering User:Kingofcats Sandbox exists contribs --Kakarot 03:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

... That was... an interesting turn of events. Calor 03:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, best not to look at the Prefix index then, considering it looks like Kingofcats Piehi and Kingofcats the real king of the jungle are a similar situation. By the looks of it they are all Kingofcats lol. --Kakarot 03:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Can I?

Can I make him a sysop just to "shock" him? I don't think I can break the wiki... and can't make anyone ragequit... and not planning on rage-quitting.... that leaves making him a sysop. Hmm.... :) Have a good trip. -- ab.er.rant 10:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I can break the wiki! Or, I did it already once :D It was down for about 10 minutes :P poke | talk 13:45, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Well then :P Off to check user rights changes... Calor 21:08, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GWW:RFA

I know you were most likely joking, but I have been wanting you to be given sysop rights for a long time now. Your personality seems to fit the role and I think that you would be a great addition to the admin team. I really do hope you accept the nomination :o) --Shadowphoenix 23:31, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Some time in the future, likely, but not now. The sysops are managing just fine, and I don't feel like committing more time to the wiki at the moment. Calor 21:08, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I have to admit that I am quite disappointed, I hope you can become a sysop sometime in the furture :o). (btw, wb :D) --Shadowphoenix 22:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps. I have no need to be a sysop (other than to boast and brag) and the wiki has no need to have another sysop yet. It will probably be another story when GW2W becomes more active when GW2 nears release. Or maybe this summer, when I have a lot of free time I'll consider an RfA. Who knows.

[edit] Rules

Is there rules about how big your user page can get? Like 500kb? Halogod35 04:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Indeed there is, 300kb. --Kakarot 04:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ?

Stop adding random content and links to pages, especially when you know the content is impertinent. Continuing in this manner will result in a ban from editing. Calor Talk 19:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Sigh... I think I clicked the wrong IP by mistake. Sorry. Some IP who was editing near the same time as you was adding random links and text to pages. Sorry for confusing you. My mistake, Calor 22:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Premade template

Just out of curiosity, is there a premade template for user pages that I can simply edit? I really don't like attempting to learn CSS especially when my forte is HTML. Thank you. Rev 17:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

...you don't need to know CSS, and even then, it takes an hour to learn. Not even. But I believe User:Lensor has a character template for your userspace. There's no "about me" type userpage template, as the options are so diverse. Most HTML can be used on wikis, so make a page in HTML and see how it turns out. Calor 21:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Doh, thanks! --Star Weaver 19:19, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

NP. We all make silly mistakes like that. Calor 19:47, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks and a Question

Hey there, thanks for improving the Sets of Kournan Armor page. I was wondering how did you get the picture to load? I set it up then uploaded the image. It wouldn't load and I couldn't figure out why so I left it be hoping that someone else would figure it out. I'm asking so next time I'd know what to do and leave less clutter for others to clean up. – Barinthus 19:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

It was loaded when I first looked at the page. It was probably wiki server lag, and it took a minute for everything to cache. Just wait it out a few minutes, and it should be fine. Calor 20:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I thought perhaps that's why but wanted to double check. – Barinthus 20:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] now i'm confused

why did you add a redirect to these weird pagenames like DGASDBASDB? —ZerphaThe Improver 20:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

No, that was a vandal. I reverted the vandal. Calor 20:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Moving a page automatically adds a redirect. Calor was moving back pages that a vandal had previously moved to those odd names. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 20:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually we want the vandals to be able to find their moved content again, when they go to the pages they created. poke | talk 20:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Weird, my wiki only showed up you redirecting the accordant page to something like e.g. Unique item in the page history. —ZerphaThe Improver 20:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks Calor, thanks Aiine, thanks poke, now i got it. I didn't notice the vandal on Unique item. You're just planning something against that, right? But why should vandals be able to find their content again? —ZerphaThe Improver 20:45, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

LOL xD poke | talk 20:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

You know sarcasm has achieved its intended effect when you fool a smart person with it. That, Zerpha, my friend, was sarcasm. Of course we don't want to, in any way, help a vandal. Calor 20:50, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Silly me, i didn't suspect poke to use sarcasm without any sign in this situation...i read his comment carefully about three or four times, but didn't think of sarcasm right now :P —ZerphaThe Improver 21:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] badges

how do u make those badges? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Smurph (talk • contribs) at 01:17, 14 June 2008 (UTC).

What "badges"? Calor 02:52, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I think he is refering to the userboxes, I believe they are called badges on wikipedia. or something similar to that.. --Shadowphoenix 05:31, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

See Template:Userbox. poke | talk 06:18, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Icons

What about adding in icons of dyed armor and weapons? Little bit too much? — Renuro Seru Talk 02:57, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Most developed weapon pages have a dye chart of the weapon dyed the eight (?) dyes. As for armor, it's probably too much. The potential combinations and clutter are overwhelming. Also, I don't believe dyed objects can be extracted from the .Dat, so a gallery would look real sloppy with different lighting and height and zoom and resolution, etc. Calor 18:29, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Heh, sorry, I immediately assumed you knew. At the top of every page (assuming it's not protected from moving), to the right of the history tab, is a move tab. Click that, then enter the proper names in the proper fields, and check the proper boxes. It's simple :) Calor 23:57, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

The problem started with your edit on May 18th. I commented out what you added in that edit, as a temporary fix (You added the userbox section and a load of <br>'s). I can't tell you exactly what in that section caused the problem, but I'll take a look at it after dinner (It's 6:00 here :)). Take another look at in the mean time. The error's probably blatantly obvious and both you and I missed it :p. Good luck, Calor 22:03, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
