Green

I think pale blue would be nicer. — Skuld 13:13, 8 February 2007 (PST)

I was thinking about a change of colour, but my only concern there is that users form GuildWiki have come to associate a green box with skill articles. I know it wouldn't take much effort on the readers part to notice the difference... Do you know what I mean though? :) LordBiro 13:34, 8 February 2007 (PST)

Yeah, but this isn't Guildwiki anymore ;) Perhaps use the default colors depending on what profession it's for?--File:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG Vallen Frostweaver 05:44, 9 February 2007 (PST)

I am strongly against using the profession colours for the box colour.

I realise that this is not GuildWiki, but some things that were done on GuildWiki were undoubtedly good, that's why it is so successful, and that's why ArenaNet approached us.

The reason that I am against profession colours is that it's important that a user can see at a glance what the article is. Is it a skill article? Is it an NPC article? Is it a location article? To reinforce the association as strongly as possible it's important that each skill article has the same colour box.

I realise that green is an artefact from GuildWiki, but undoubtedly some users will have the association "green box = skill article" already. LordBiro 06:15, 9 February 2007 (PST)

Ok, ok. I was just making a suggestion. I see your point. That sounds fine then.--File:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG Vallen Frostweaver 06:29, 9 February 2007 (PST)

Sorry Vallen, I didn't mean to be too abrupt in my reply! LordBiro 09:31, 9 February 2007 (PST)

Np. As I'm not the best coder or the best for adding info to this site I'm just tossing ideas and suggestions around in an effort to help (or at least feel helpful) until the big moves and articles are decided on and started. Sorry if I took your comments out of context, so that was my bad.--File:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG Vallen Frostweaver 10:30, 9 February 2007 (PST)

I posted a new design of the skill box on the skill box talk page. LordBiro 17:03, 11 February 2007 (PST)

I commented there but I will here too. Is there a way to include the description in the skill box as well as the progression charts? It might help give the page a more organized look. Notes, trivia, and bugs can be separate topics under the main skill info box (as that section is most commonly changed by any user). Just a thought.--File:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG Vallen Frostweaver 05:46, 12 February 2007 (PST)
