Guild talk:The Nercromancers (historical)
07/22/08 - 18:78
I am confused with the warning message from GW Wiki. It stated that "removal of all non-guild specific information is needed. All GW links are available through search". I'm new to Wiki coding system and standards. I made by best attempt reading the GW Wiki formating page and went through my guild page but was unable to find any non-guild information! Could someone help!!!
Thanks. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:24.115.7.193 (talk).
- Removed what was redundant with the wiki. Also, remember to sign on talk pages by hitting the "signature" button at the top, or by writing ~~~~.
- In case you still have doubts about the use of the guild articles, you can check our formatting guideline for guild pages and our guild pages policy, where you can find information about what can and what shouldn't be put in there.
- (added) Added also a small table to the contacts section to make it a little less messy, but feel free to revert it if you don't like it.--Fighterdoken 23:15, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your help!!! --24.115.7.193 01:23, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Please ignore the previous message below. The guild name is Nercromancers (with the 'r'). F10 should take it to the Nercromancers website. The other one (Necromancers) can be removed.
Also, not sure what is meant by "removal of all non-guild specific information is needed" warning. I checked the format requirements but can't seem to find the non-guild info mentioned in our guild webpage. Could you please specify the issue from the Guild page?
Thanks.
Hi,
This page should have been linked to Necromacers not Nercomancers (spelling mistake). Unless there's a way to resolve this issue, I am linking this page to where it should be Necromancers (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild:The_Necromancers).
Thanks,
Kyll
Guild page formatting and content
The first line in the formatting guideline says:
- "All guild articles should try to conform and adhere to the guidelines presented here, to maintain consistency in all guild pages. Please bear in mind that your guild page is not your guild's homepage. It is only to document your guild. "
The content of a guild page needs to document the guild for the wiki wide community, not provide resources for guild members such as links to helpful pages, Guild announcements, guild only event schedules such as meetings, or 'forum' type noticeboards. All of the links to other areas of Guild Wars Wiki that you have posted are easily accessed using the search function and do not provide specific information that documents your guild's achievements, history, play style, or recruitment policy, so they should be removed. Also you may wish to read over our signature policy that will tell you how to sign your comments on talk pages.--

- I'm not sure why you keep adding this information back after finding out it doesn't belong. Please read the formatting guideline, and the guild page policy. The guild page should also not include a full roster, only contact information of key members for recruiting purposes. Also, the playing tips is not something that is guild specific so it doesn't belong. You can place these things on subpages if you wish, but they don't belong on the main page.--

Believe it or not, but the ideas of this guild's page were the collective of inspired and creative ideas from other guilds - must have checked over 100 of them. Anywho, I will water down our guild page and make it stimy and in compliance. 24.115.7.193 01:43, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, since yours is the one that is getting edits, yours is the one that's getting attention. You can feel free to put the same notices on pages you find that are not in compliance. Also, saying that because they are not following the rules means you don't have to is an invalid argument. I can also point you to hundreds of guild pages that are following the policies and guidelines. -- Wyn 01:51, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
