[edit] Skill Progression

Is there a way to check a skills changes from previous patches on the wiki. Like, "this skill was this on x patch but was modified to "this" on y patch but now functions as "this" on z patch". Would I have to look at patch logs of the past and just sift through them for the information? If so, how would I go about searching for skill update patch logs in the wiki? And how far back do you think it would go? I was discussing skills with a friend on how some use to be and how skills have changed over the years. I think it would be interesting to see hows skills were vs how skills are now. I wish changes were linked to each skills page as a marker for what skills were vs what they are currently.

There's this tab at the top of pages labelled "history". You can also try looking at the talkpage to get a general idea, sometimes. Vili 点 03:39, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

As Vili said, the history function is probably your best bet. The wiki's been around a while, so its bound to have at least some of the historical skill data. There are also a couple of pages like Aegis/Skill_history that can probably help you, though I have not seen a lot of these. -- Wandering Traveler 03:48, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah.. I forgot about the history part. xD Was kind of hoping for a page with the info on it. I guess.. if I ever get back into wiki coding.. I might have to make one for myself. Thanks for the info guys. :) Magic Talk 03:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Let's say for a second that I did go back and pull the progression status of the skill. Instead of making an archive of them in my namespace, do you think I should add it to the skills page instead? Either in the notes section or talk page (ie a link to a page w/ the info on it)? Magic Talk 04:03, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

I'd bring that up for consideration on one of the formatting talk pages. I'm truthfully not sure there. -- Wandering Traveler 22:07, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Odd Bug

Remember that odd frozen foe bug that we got in guild wars? Well I created a report here. Feel free to add your own reply :D. --Dominator Matrix 07:08, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Tossed in a support ticket on that night, so methinks we're set there. ^^ -- Wandering Traveler 17:22, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Mountain Dew

Shit, why didn't you say so before? I would have voted support for sure. My record to date is 5 or so bottles in a few hours. Passed out soon afterwards. Totally worth it, though :) Vili 点 03:59, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Lol soda intoxication? -- Halogod35 12:25, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I've done three two-liters before, but that put me out of action for quite a while. Mountain dew voltage is the way to go. Its all in the ginseng. :D -- Wandering Traveler 17:39, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/File:User_Wandering_Traveler_Background.jpg

Hey WT,

I would just like to say that I really enjoy looking at your User Page Backgrounds when you change them from time to time. Where do you get the inspiration from/how do you decide what images that you would like displayed? Obviously I take it you copy them from a website that releases them out in the open under the GFDL (or you create/take them yourself).

Where would I be able to find more images like these?

Also, sorry to hear about your RFA.

Thanks! -- Lacky 04:13, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I get all my photos from the Wikimedia Commons; you pretty much can't go wrong there. -- Wandering Traveler 17:38, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Ahh, alright. How do you decide which picture you want for your talk page? -- Lacky 01:17, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Its honestly just a spur of the moment kind of things. >< -- Wandering Traveler 03:04, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wanna team up?

I got a couple of projects on wiki I want to do. First of all is making skill history for every skill (except the ones that were never changed), and second of all (my favorite) is going through every skill again and putting (Elite) by every elite skill. ANDD one last project, going through every skill page and adding all correct information (i.e. Deep Freeze's area of effect is Nearby. |Range = Nearby). =D? -- Halogod35 02:14, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Skill history can only go back to when update notes were posted. The beta versions of skills won't have any references (if anyone can remember them). That would be a lengthy (but cool) task. ~Shard 02:16, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure, but hey, someone's gotta do it. -- Halogod35 02:17, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll help out where I can, I guess. -- Wandering Traveler 02:32, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I got dibs on the warrior section. -- Halogod35 02:37, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Which one? 22:44, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Mm, I'd actually go the second one. I always thought the signature image looked better when it cam first. -- Wandering Traveler 03:03, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Very well. -- Halogod35 13:29, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Rfa

I agree completely with what you say, but the one of the reason I'd use the tools is to delete deletion tagged pages/images xD. One of my favorite things to do. -- Halogod35 22:19, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Matinence is always a good thing, but with the desperate need for sysops not many people will agree. I'd love to vote support, you're my friend after all, but I gotta put the work first. >< -- Wandering Traveler 00:31, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

No I completely understand. I'm learning here actually, cause I'm going to be better and print out all the gww rules and study them at school. and I'll take wiki lessons from yo ich halt. Then, try to not act like an asshat while I become more strict :p. Oh and I appreciate your honest more than voting as a friend. :) -- Halogod35 01:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

ALSO!
Man, your RFA went so much better than mine lol. -- Halogod35 02:27, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

I like your paw, reminds me of Gatlinburg, Tn. :-) I was wondering how you all did your signatures (with images) and now I know. Have to go, have things to do today. Also, liked your RFA. -- riyen ♥ 16:47, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Image

What kind of image is that on your main page? I'm thinking some sort of sushi? -- riyen ♥ 01:53, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

he gets them from wikipedia commons, they have great images without worry from copyright issues :) yes it is sushi [1] ПALANA 02:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

It was linked here externally, but you have broken the external link. External links don't show up on what links here. Misery 15:55, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

....I really, really hate it when this kind of thing happens. Leave the redirect then, or....? -- Wandering Traveler 18:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Edit the link? -- FreedomBound 18:41, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Ppl aren't supposed to link internal stuff with external Links. Its their own fault if it breaks in these cases. And yeah fix da link --SilentStorm 18:44, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
