Source of Gaile Logs

fyi, I reverted your edit which was to add a "source" link to the Gaile Log page. Gaile posted that in a number of places, including the one you linked to, including this site. Since she was the original source of the information here the external link was unnecessary. Lojiin 11:26, 13 February 2007 (PST)

Ok, no problem :) But what about the posting date? I think we should add that, if we want to collect more logs.. Poke 11:56, 13 February 2007 (PST)

Problem Fixed

Just to tell you. --Chiaro 19:18, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

Thank you :) Poke 18:37, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Policy

It looks great. :) Cheers. --Dirigible 20:24, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Thanks :) Poke 04:36, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

passing by

I know this isn't some kind of a guestbook, but I just had to say it... I like your userpage. the colors, the style, the sidepage information. they're all great. I'll have to yoink some ideas off of your page, if you don't mind. ;) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Zemmy .

Thank you ^^ If you do not copy it 1:1, feel free to use it :). The colors are btw. the "official" profession colors. poke | talk 13:25, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

oops, it looks like I forgot to sign it... but yes, I like the idea of your side bar! I don't think I'd copy and paste it 1:1, but I will most likely look at the codes haha.--Zemmy 16:28, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

Eu userbox

Poke, you're using a userbox for Europe, I just wanted to let you know that the following userbox exists: {{User Eu}}. Currently your userbox refers to an inferior picture of the European flag. The Eu-userbox uses a new one, perhaps you might consider changing yours? I have marked Image:Europe_60x40.jpg for deletion, but your userpages link to it. -- Image:Corrran.png (CoRrRan / talk) 10:05, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

Thank you :) I will change it, so you can delete the file. poke | talk 11:33, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

NPC articles

First of all, nicely done with the boss articles, they're looking good! :) Secondly, thought I should let you know about {{NPC location}}. If you wrap the locations of each NPC with that, it'll also autocategorise the NPC by location. For example, for the Ranger's Construct page, it'd be something like this:

== Locations ==
* [[Kaineng City]]
** {{NPC location|Sunjiang District}}
** {{NPC location|Sunjiang District|explorable area}}

Which would result in:

== Locations ==
* [[Kaineng City]]
** [[Sunjiang District]]
** [[Sunjiang District (explorable area)]]

[[Category:Sunjiang District NPCs]]

(It'll only show one category in this particular example, because it was decided to have mission and explorable NPCs in the same category; the template will take care of that though, so don't worry about it too much.) Anyways, hope that makes sense. Cheers! --Dirigible 20:06, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

Ah, ok :) Thank you, I didn't know :) poke | talk 20:10, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

cleanup???

1234,, Can you tell me what there is to "cleanup?", its written by the formatting guide. ~ Kurd09:00, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Don't we need a Template:Location infobox? poke | talk 09:01, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

no these are Point of interests, no use putting a template there as you wont be able to fill in 9/10 stuff in it ~ Kurd09:04, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Ok, I didn't know. poke | talk 09:07, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Hi, I added explanation at my talk page about the basic armor User:Jurrit | talk

Userpage

You have a very nice userpage! Would you mind if I borrowed some ideas for my new userpage? I'll give credits of course :) - anja (contribs) 18:03, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Game updates/20070525

Hi! Bitte schau mal auf Talk:Game updates/20070525. Danke :) (for english visitors: hi! please look at Talk:Game updates/20070525 Thx :) --BigBlue talk 11:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC) )

Schon getan ;) Es liegt an der Interface Größe. (english: Just done ;) It's because of the interface size.) poke | talk 11:27, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Vergiss nicht, das "Fertigkeiten" auch normalerweise angezeigt werden. Das selbe Problem existiert übrigens mit dem "Interface ausblenden" im Hauptmenü und Beobachtermodus, da geht es allerdings erst ab der Interface Größe "Größer". :) Soll ich den revert machen?

(english: Don't forget, that "Fertigkeiten" is shown, too. By the way the same problem exists with "Hide UI" in main menu and observer mode, this time the second word is only shown from UI size "bigger". :) ) --BigBlue talk 11:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Im Observer gehts bei mir auch bei kleiner Interface Größe :P Und im Login-Bildschirm gehts gar nicht ^^ Werd jetzt mal die Update Seite etwas anpassen um das neue Wissen einzubauen ;)

(english: It works in observer mode even with small interface size :P And the login-screen never shows the full text ^^ I will adjust the update page now a bit to insert the new knowledge ;) ) poke | talk 11:45, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Man sollte eine "German translation task force" einrichten und alle Fehler auf einer (Wiki?-)Seite zusammenfassen. Wäre der Idee nicht abgeneigt so eine Strichliste zu führen und behobene Fehler rauszustreichen. Vielleicht könnte man da ja noch offiziellen Support von der Übersetzerin bekommen. :)

(english: One idea: Establishing of a "German translation task force" to list all errors on a (wiki?-)page. A tally with removing fixed errors. Maybe we could get official support from the german translator. :) --BigBlue talk 11:52, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hm, warum nicht? ^^ Fang an: User:Poke/German translation task force ;)

(english: Hm, why no? ^^ Begin: User:Poke/German translation task force ;) ) poke | talk 11:59, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, Du bist an der Reihe. Ich denke einfach mal etwas auffüllen und dann schauen wo wir das einbringen können und auf den Normal Space verschieben können.

english: OK, it's your turn. Just fill out and later we can talk about moving this article into normal space. --BigBlue talk 12:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Du bist :P Ich glaub nicht, dass das in den normalen Bereich passen würde.. Lassen wir es erstmal da wo ist es vervollständigen es weiter und geben es dann an Gaile oder Emily weiter :)

(english: Your turn :P I don't think it would fit into the normal space.. We can leave it here, fill in and then we pass it to Gaile or Emily.) poke | talk 13:21, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

User Page

May I use some of your userpage? I need something to work with, I'm new to wikis, and your page looks really cool. I'll put credits in. --Zakek xek 01:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Of course you can use it, but I use raw html instead of wiki codes (tables etc.) so you won't learn much wiki-coding from it :) poke | talk 08:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, I'll take your design, too. But I remove your language boxes with the Babel Template, you should do so as well. :) --BigBlue talk 09:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

That is not a babel template ;) And please do not copy the complete design. You can use it as inspiration but not just for copy&paste. poke | talk 09:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Roger. I'll do further modifications later, please be patient with me. I have lots of work to do for studies. :( Oh, and I hope you won't kill me for my addition on your page. --BigBlue talk 09:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't need to learn wiki stuff, I know my basic HTML and CSS xD (nowhere near W3C standards though.)--Zakek xek 18:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Campaign Categories

Hej Poke! I changed the "Category:User Campaign x" names due to them not being in the same style as other user categories (the categories were also "orphan", ie they could not be reached through the "Category:User" hierarchy). I also changed the corresponding userboxes to make sure everyone get grouped in the right place. But, I see you have manually written in the categories. If you want to, you can change the categories into "Category:Users who play the Factions campaign", "Category:Users who play the Nightfall campaign" and "Category:Users who play the Prophecies campaign" respectively to get listed with "everyone else".--Lensor 17:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for this notice :) poke | talk 17:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Poke/German translation task force

Ich denke, man sollte deutlicher betonen, dass eine Hilfe von Außen beim durchstreichen sehr gut wäre. Alle Gebiete nach einem Update abzusuchen (z.B. Rock Ice und/oder alle Dialogtexte die nur einen Buchstaben falsch haben!) ist dann doch sehr viel Arbeit nur für uns zwei, zumal sich bis jetzt kein anderer zu dem Projekt gemeldet hat. Generell lieber "mehr" verlangen und dann etwas kleines bekommen, als vorher schon zu sagen "ist nicht notwendig bzw. wäre schön" und dann nichts bekommen.  ;) Also formuliere Deinen Satz bitte ein wenig um. --BigBlue talk 14:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC) In english: I think we should accentuate, that crossing things out would be a great help. Searching for all changed things after an update (e.g. Rock Ice and dialog text with misspelling of one word or one letter) would be too much work for a 2 man project (as it currently is). That's why I think we should ask for this (maybe great demand), to get at least a little response (=help) for everything we proposed. I request you for changing your answer / mind in this question, please. :) --BigBlue talk 17:37, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I will not change my comment on this. In my opinion we cannot demand for telling us which changes were exactly done. If they do so it's nice but if not we cannot force them to do. Apart from this I will not look every time for updates on translation. When I coincidentally notice any change on something we logged, I will strike it out but I will not look for it. This is my opinion and apart from that I'm totally against changing anything in a talk page (apart from spelling mistakes etc.) poke | talk 17:26, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Unusual Problem

Poke, When I accessed GWW today, it logged me in as you for some reason. As soon as I refreshed I was logged out, but it might be something you want to ask about. I didn't do anything, promise! :) -Kumdori

I got the same problem for just some minutes. I was logged in as another user (only on Main Page). When I clicked anywhere I was logged in as myself. I logged out and in to fix that. poke | talk 20:50, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, see here: Guild Wars Wiki:Reporting wiki bugs poke | talk 20:52, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Babel

Hey! Could you edit your Babel categories to show the language abbreviations in lower case (i.e. DE-N = de-N and EN-3 = en-3)? That way you will be categorized in the right place with everyone else :) --Lensor 17:22, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for noticing! I changed it :) poke | talk 17:44, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Character info box

you told me to use the character info box but i dont really get it can you help me out Priestess donut 21:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

The Character info box is not compatible to the NPC Infobox so you have to rework the parameters. For your character User:Priestess donut/pvt donut the third it would be the following code (for example):

{{Character infobox
| name = Pvt Donut The Third
| prof = W
| gender = male
| born = Tyria
| level = 20 }}

Note: you will have to reupload the character images in another name. To see the required name just put the infobox on your page and click the red image link. poke | talk 22:06, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Skill bar templates

Want to go around changing those to the now edited Template:skill bar? ;) There's LOTS of people using the different templates, just check what links here for them.. - anja (contribs) 10:13, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I think I will do it, but I will make some changes to the template before. ;) poke | talk 10:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

finally done :D poke | talk 22:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Good work!

Good work on condensing the skill bar templates. - BeX 10:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks :) But I'm not finished yet. There is one template left :P poke | talk 10:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

You're... awesome :) The template is soo nice now. - anja (contribs) 13:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you ^^ poke | talk 14:18, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I have to agree, really nice work poke! --  (CoRrRan / talk) 22:30, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Broke the char template though :/ --Lemming64 22:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I know, but yesterday I had no time to fix that ;) I also hoped Gem wouldn't delete the templates so quick - but it happend ^^ poke | talk 06:33, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

EditBot

If you're going to use bots on the wiki, I'd suggest that you have a look here: Guild_Wars_Wiki:Projects/Editing_bots. --  (CoRrRan / talk) 22:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

To be fair, Poke's using a semi-bot - it's a program that, while having bot-like speed, requires every single edit to be confirmed by the bot operator. That page lists all of the bot operators (Mike, Diri, and myself) and their bot accounts - technically, AWB doesn't count =) MisterPepe talk 23:33, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Oww, didn't know that. Thx for explaining it Pepe. --  (CoRrRan / talk) 23:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

But the next time I will do something like this (with this much RC-flood ^^) I create a bot account and ask for bot status :D poke | talk 06:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

"You have a new message"

Help:Ask a wiki question#"You have a new message" - just want to force a "You have a new message" popup to show :)

This was me. And who ever wants to change the "You have a new message" window, here are the standard css properties: poke | talk 18:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

.usermessage
{
  background-color: #FFCE7B;
  border: 1px solid #FFA500;
  color: black;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin: 2em 0pt 1em;
  padding: 0.5em 1em;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
/* Inherited from div#content */
#content { line-height: 1.5em; }
/* Inherited from div#globalWrapper */
#globalWrapper { font-size: 127%; }

Heh, more css questions, I hope you don't mind ;) If I want to override the colors defined in MediaWiki:Sitenotice, what do I have to type? I've been able to change the text size, but I think I need to include something that tells "replace the properties in the div"? :P - anja (contribs) 18:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

The problem is that the styles are set via the style attribute so you have to use !important to overwrite the settings which are defined via style (you can see it here). Example: poke | talk 18:57, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

div#siteNotice div { background: white !important; color: blue; font-size: 15pt; }

Ah, ok, thank you :) - anja (contribs) 19:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.

Thanks for fixing up my Guild's wikipage. Today is my first day actually registered and that was my first edit of a wiki, so I was bound to get a few things wrong. :D Thanks again. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Linoud.

No problem :) poke | talk 18:43, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop

I plan to do a mass revert of the template changes. Please allow more time for community input. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:31, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Already saw. poke | talk 19:32, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks ... I do agree that a change is needed and I like the idea of consistent design, I just strongly dislike the use of red for these - so I burned my 1RV on reverting the two updated so far. (not that an RV policy exists, but I still intend to follow it myself for my own edits until something is decided). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

FYI: I have most of the text-based color codes and their hex equivalents (with one or two mistakes that I need to clean up) available at User:Barek/color-codes. I'm fine with the gray and brown options that have been updated on the proposal, but there are variations of gray and other colored options that someone else may like and want to propose - could use this list to scroll through a partial sampling of the available colors. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm open to every color anyone wants ;) I just used my colors for the icons to get a matching orange and created from this one background and border color. I personally prefer hex colors over named X11 colors. poke | talk 20:42, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Deletion template

Could you add the functionality that adds pages to the improperly tagged category if they don't have a timestamp or speedy tag. -- (gem / talk) 20:32, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

done :) poke | talk 20:51, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. :D -- (gem / talk) 20:59, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Btw, need to learn that stuff, it seems that it wasn't too hard to add that. Heh. -- (gem / talk) 20:59, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

oops, copy&paste is too hard xD poke | talk 21:14, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned Image: Icon delete redbetter.png

The image you uploaded (Image:Icon delete redbetter.png) has been discovered to be orphaned and has been tagged for deletion. If you had an article linking to this image, a different one might now be being used instead - if there is an article that you think it would fit on, feel free to remove the deletion notice and give it a home! Thanks, Lemming64 16:48, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Ahm, yes. There was no need to notify me as the template for which this image was for was deleted today.. But thanks anyway ^^ poke | talk 16:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Wasn't sure if you wanted to use the image for anything else :) --Lemming64 17:06, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm starting to think its party of your sig ~ Kurd 12:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Lol, no. That would not be good as I always use different icons :P notusedtexttonothaveanemoticonattheend poke | talk 13:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I try to use emoticons in the middle or start/end with a 'heh' or 'lol' to avoid the same problem. :P -- (gem / talk) 13:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Good idea, but it will be hard ;) (<- damn! xD) poke | talk 13:49, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Hehe. :) It's really hard to not type one in the end, but I'll try. -- (gem / talk) 14:00, 27 June 2007 (UTC) :D

GWWT

← moved to User talk:Poke/GuildWarsWikiTools

GWWT #2

Silly Poke waits until I'm on holiday before trying to crush my little script with one almost identical to it *sobs* :P. Now I'm going to have to rewrite it just as competition *grumbles*. ;) Ale_Jrb (talk) 19:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I suggest a joint effort for the better of the GWW community! --  (CoRrRan / talk) 08:08, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

No, actually I don't want to beat GuildWatch with it. I started the project with the intention to have a script for myself that meets my demands. But because you can not have a greater script installed here on this wiki without let others know (and they would just install it and test it!) So I decided to publish it ;) poke | talk 09:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

"..greater script installed.." *decides to dedicate a little more time than the half an hour used to create the original on the next version* ^_^ Ale_Jrb (talk) 15:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I mean while installing the first non-test version into my monobook, Gem for example asked me what it will be - so... ;) And a half an hour? Have fun. poke | talk 16:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Allygulidcape.jpg

Poke, for the next time, can you also leave a note on the uploading user's talk page? Thanks m8. --  (CoRrRan / talk) 20:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually I'm not a friend of noticing the user always because of a deletion notice. If there are many images with a wrong name or something other uploaded by the same user than a notice is ok but just because one image which is in addition uploaded just some minutes ago? poke | talk 20:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

You've got a point, but then there are numerous 'wiki-noobs' who don't recognize that their image is tagged for deletion and suddenly see a red link in their 'carefully' created page. They then probably don't know what happened to their picture. --  (CoRrRan / talk) 20:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, yeah, you're probably right ;) poke | talk 20:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Dark Emperial Legion

Why both move and delete-tagged? Why not just move it and tag it with guild cleanup? - anja (contribs) 19:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Hm ^^ Because when moved there remains a redirect page? Don't know :P poke | talk 19:53, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't matter if you move it or someone else do it, the redirect will be there and will have to be delete tagged anyway.. :P I particularly dislike delete+move, because when moved you just edit out the delete tag again, either it should be deleted or moved. Imho. :) - anja (contribs) 19:56, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Watchlist

Hey poke, you seem to be very handy with JS. There seems to be a way to categorize the Watchlist using JS (see this and this). I tried using Dirigible's JS (see this), but it doesn't want to work for me (Firefox browser 2.x). Is there anything you can do to make the Watchlist be categorized into namespaces? --  (CoRrRan / talk) 00:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually I'm not that handy with JS, but I love to program so I decided to go through some JS references because JS is not that bad I thought ;)

But, back to topic: The watchlist really looks nice. I had installed Dirigible's script before but I didn't noticed how good it looks ;) I will have a look at the code and test it. poke | talk 00:58, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you poke. *waits in eager anticipation* --  (CoRrRan / talk) 01:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, the new version of GWWT includes a watchlist sorting (see config part on project homepage). It will be enhanced with the next release. poke | talk 17:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, where in the code do I put that var stuff? :P I tried just putting it at the end of my monobook.js, but nothing happened.. - anja 17:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

(edit) Oh, well, I thought a false value to enable something sounded very odd! :P New try - anja 18:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I did a mistake on the project homepage. First I planned to enable the watchlist by default so that you type var gwwtWatchlist = false to disable, but then I decided to disable it by default and forgot to change the false to true ;) poke | talk 18:01, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

"stealing ftw" - hehe :P I got it from User:Dirigible/monobook.css poke | talk 18:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I love stealing your css edits, because you find functions I would never think existed :P - anja 18:06, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Hehe :] You can also change the colors, if you don't like the green/red poke | talk 18:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I now found out what was wrong with my Watchlist. I had the "Enhanced recent changes (JavaScript)" function checked in Preferences. And now I'm confused again... why can't these two scripts work side by side? --  (CoRrRan / talk) 18:27, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah, when you use "Enhanced recent changes", the lists were modified to a list which does not consists of a html unordered list (<ul><li></li></ul>). But because Dirigible's script reads out each list item (li) and changes just the position of them and because there are no list items there is nothing modified. poke | talk 18:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, yes, you are absolutely right. And now I am going to have to make a decision... I'm soo used to my friendly little blue arrows, but Watchlist sorting is nice too. :( --  (CoRrRan / talk) 18:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

 ;) But I will look, maybe I can change it to work with the enhanced recent changes.. poke | talk 19:14, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Move skill descriptions

Do we have a consensus to move the description into the template yet? - anja 17:53, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Uhm ^^ You're right, a complete consesus on moving is not done.. Even if most of them are for it and it's the easiest thing.. poke | talk 17:55, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Yea, seems like it will go through, but it hasn't been up for too long yet :) - anja 17:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I added a note to the bot request page so that it will not started until a consensus is found. poke | talk 17:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Wb

Nice to have you back. :) - anja 20:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you :D But it's very hard to look through a full 7 days watchlist xD poke | talk 20:44, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

o.O That should take quite some time.. How many items on the watch in total? :P - anja 20:48, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Note: You can delete this when you want. Natalie Black 01:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

just a note

While the language used is being debated right now, GWW:SIGN does mention that sig images should be named according to the user image naming scheme. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 21:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I know but maybe there will be something added in (near) future. Also it's not wrong to upload it with user image naming. See also his talk page regarding this. poke | talk 21:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I think you misread what I wrote. GWW:SIGN does, not doesn't, it does mention that they should be named as user images. See the last bullet point in GWW:SIGN#Images. :) (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 21:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Uah o.O You're right. I think I was a bit confused because of this bot request and "there's no policy that says you need the User prefix for signature images" this - but obviously this is outdated ^^ poke | talk 21:27, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I made that comment on June 10th, while GWW:SIGN was edited on July 1st by Gem to include that requirement, so yeah, the comment is somewhat outdated. Still, it's to be noted that there is no requirement for the word "User" to be part of the filename, as also noted by Gem in the summary of that edit, the concerned line is "The image file should be named Image:User <user name> sig.<file extension>". It's also to be noted that this change was added to the policy unilaterally by Gem, with no previous discussion that I can see, which is one more reason not to make to big a deal out of it, but treat it just like a suggestion instead. --Dirigible 21:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, maybe we can have a look at it during our Policy cleanups? But anyway it makes sense to upload them with user image naming as its an image used by just one user. We could use a phrase: "New uploaded signature icons should be named [...] while existing images can be left as they are." or something like this.. poke | talk 21:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, we've been using the User_ prefix to indicate images that are for use in the User: namespace, not for images only used by just one user, as noted in GWW:IMAGE, GWW:USER and {{user image}}. If we want to expand that requirement, it should be discussed somewhere first. --Dirigible 21:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, GWW:USER does use a heck of a lot of "personals" in its section about user images - which seems to imply that images tagged as such are meant to be "owned" by a given user (in the sense that other users shouldn't rely on them not changing, et cetera). (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 21:56, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

And I think it's ok to upload "personal" images or images which are not used (/useful) by others with the user prefix. poke | talk 22:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Celestial Summoning

Poke, you broke my DPL list with Celestial Summoning! :( --  (CoRrRan / talk) 00:04, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

xD You mean this list? First, there was no other method on getting 3 professions into one infobox (and I just fixed it!); Second, imo is a DPL for 8 skills a bit overkill!? And third: Just link the professions... poke | talk 00:13, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

1. It still looks broken on the Celestial Summoning-skill page with the Dervish popping onto the next line.
2. But it looks nice and has cookies!
3. Nice addition to that secseparators thingy. Kudos +1.

Hello poke.

Sorry for the misplaced name of my guild but when I wanted to change the cape design it wasn't possible to replace it, it kept the same cape. We now have got a new one and I know how to edit the text I ment the cape only. I apologies for the extra work I give you.
after all I want to ask you can you please send me a direction of how to change the guildcape image ?
Thank you
Regards Dragonknight Icarus 18:47, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem :) Your image for your guild is located here. If you want to change the image use the Upload a new version of this file-link. As I already said, it takes some time until the image changes because of the internal caching of MediaWiki but you don't need to upload it again, just wait. After a while you can try CTRL + F5 to see if the image has changed (btw. on pages which use the image with a smaller size you often can see the image immediately after upload). poke | talk 19:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Browser used?

So, I'm guessing that you never use IE? I usually use Firefox, so when I first saw your user page in IE I thought someone had vandalized or unintentionally mangled your user page. Not sure if it's an issue to you or not ... but just as an FYI, in IE, all your user boxes are on the right on the first top half of the page, then on the lower half all of the remainder of your page is on the left. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I normally use Firefox only (because it supports the most standards :P); I use IE only for browser compatibility testing. But thank you, I will try to fix that soon! poke | talk 16:22, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

works :) poke | talk 16:26, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Inscription restyle

I like what you've done with the restyle of the inscription article, and I wanted to check with you if I missed a policy or formatting that calls for tables to be styled in that way so that I can make a mental note for next time? -- pullus talk 16:53, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

No, there is no policy or formatting guide on how to format these pages.. But as we use the cellspacing style very often on this wiki (for example all infoboxes), I applied this style to the page. Btw. I also removed the subnotes because as I checked the inscriptions, all of them could be added thrugh the PvP weapon creation window.. poke | talk 16:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'll bear that table style in mind for next time then, and thanks for checking the PvP inscriptions ... I had wondered if that was why the footnotes were gone.-- pullus talk 17:05, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Javascript

Hey poke, do you have any idea how we might be able to use the images to sort the skill list tables? I think the javascript requires <thead></thead> tags for that to work, but perhaps you might have an idea on this?
I ask this because I personally don't like the way some skill lists are looking at the moment (List of enchantment spells). Only with my bookmark tab off and @ full screen (1280width at work), it is reasonable, otherwise the table is just horrible. (Really large rows due to the lengthy descriptions.) --  (CoRrRan / talk) 11:03, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I want to get rid of those 'sorting'-images used at the moment by the class=sortable addition. --  (CoRrRan / talk) 11:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

And how would you make a difference between "ascending sort", "descending sort" and "not sorted" if you use the yellow arrow? Chriskang 11:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, Cor, but that does not work on MediaWiki.. We cannot create Javascript links or anything similar.. The only thing we could do is rewrite the Sortable Tables function... poke | talk 19:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Not even using MediaWiki:Common.js? (I'm now moving to the hypothetical realm.) --  (CoRrRan / talk) 19:34, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

The problem is that we cannot be sure that Common.js is loaded after the sortable tables javascript so you cannot modify the code.. poke | talk 20:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Question about guild page.

Poke. we have several members who have wiki pages that are not officers. they want to know if they can have a place on the guilds home page to link to there pages.
if so what are the format rules and if not let me know so i can let them know. thanks rockweaver. Rockweaver 23:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

the only things your guild page must have are: guild tag, guild infobox, alliance infobox and roughly the layout from the example guild page. You can include all your members under a heading like "Members on GWW" or something. - Y0_ich_halt 23:26, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Of course it's allowed to make links to registered GWW members. The only thing which is disallowed is a guild roster because it would involve a high changing rate. poke | talk 05:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
