Guild Wars Wiki talk:Formatting/Professions/ArchiveX

This is the archive of the talk page for the old version of Guild Wars Wiki:Formatting/Professions which was a guide on how to write the profession articles (like Warrior).

Adapted

I don't think there any necessary changes regarding the profession articles rite? Unless someone has new sections they wish to propose? -- ab.er.rant 01:27, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Profession order

Could we formalise the order we use when things are sorted by profession? I'd prefer the character creation screen order (Paragon before Dervish) rather than the Priest of Balthazar order (Dervish before Paragon). I would also prefer it if "no profession" / "all professions" is at the top of the list order. I dislike alphabetical order, as it mixes the campaign-specific professions with the core professions and splits up the four core caster professions. -- Gordon Ecker 21:19, 1 March 2007 (EST)

Same with you on the ordering preference. Here's the previous discussion: Guild Wars Wiki talk:Formatting/General#Profession order -- ab.er.rant 23:38, 1 March 2007 (EST)

Icons

I know this subject is being discussed elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it at the moment.
Personally, I would like to see both the wiki-use profession icon as well as the in-game profession icon. The profession articles seem a good location to use for letting users cross reference the slight differences between them. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:29, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

This what you were looking for? -> Guild Wars Wiki talk:Formatting/Profession colors#Profession icons -- ab.er.rant 20:48, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

I would like to add the icons to each of the profession pages and then get this finalised. Do we have transparent versions of the in-game profession icons uploaded on this wiki? Since the ones we use have a large and a small version, do we have larger versions of the in-game icons? -- ab.er.rant 01:50, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

I'm thinking of applying infoboxes to profession articles too. The render could be the main image. Info could include it's abbreviation, wiki icon, official icon, even wiki colors, and official color themes too. -- ab.er.rant 21:48, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

Images

Should the profession pages also contain pictures of the different professions in their underwear? Someone uploaded Image:Nakked.png earlier, and it seems strange that we don't already have these somewhere. --Dirigible 18:00, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I think they'd fit in better as some gallery page. (Gallery of unarmored male monk?) --Rezyk 21:13, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

If we're gonna do that, might as well have a gallery showing all the different skins of each profession. Pages like "Gallery of male monk skins"? Or even "Gallery of male monk body parts" :P -- ab.er.rant 02:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
