I loled :D
Oh and btw. "For example, there are links from the 'explorable' list to 'Guild hall' entries." - in this case it links to the guild halls when fighting in a GvG match; (that are the mission entries..) in this case it links to the explorable guild halls when you go to the Canthan Ambassador and look for a new guild hall - in that case the guild halls are "explorable" and not just outposts. poke | talk 16:17, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm glad to see that you didn't take offense.
- Yes, there are several game links that link to the same page. I intend to document all the game links so the pages referred to this way can be reviewed to make sure they are appropriate for each context. mtew 17:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well the game links are mainly added by clicking the link from in-game and adding the appropriate location then. To check if they are correct, it would be required to get into the game and click all possibilities (which of course would require far too much work). Just by evaluating it from the target, the id and the looking redunancy that happens with some links is not really possible; most times there is probably a much more internal stuff behind those ids than we can imagine (and the ids are after all the original ids used within the game). poke | talk 17:08, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- There are a couple of stages to this project. The current one is simply following each game link and including the back link information on the target pages. The next stage will be to note which pages have multiple targets and discuss those where the different contexts might cause confusion. Another phase would be to check the game requests, which as you said is a LOT of work. I believe the person who set the game links up originally had help from the ArenaNet staff.

- Most of the links, or rather the completely first batch of game links (when they added the feature to GW), were made by a bot from ArenaNet directly; when things were added later then, some wiki people focussed on clicking the links whenever possible and making the links complete. poke | talk 17:23, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

About the userboxes, to explain what I actually did. As you have noticed the {{userbox}} template is floating and therefor you cannot put userboxes into every page design without many fixes; so what I did was basically that I rebuild the look of the userboxes and integrated them within my page design. However that doesn't make them not userboxes; the "userbox-status" is not bound to the use of the userbox template, it is more the style of having an icon (or short text) and then a descriptive text which is explaining something about "this user".
And as I have a subpage for my userpage (to not ping watchlists when I edit it), but I still want my root page to be categorized, I have the categories added to User:Poke and not to my subpage. poke | talk 19:40, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- I understand what you did. It was necessary because the template is over-designed.
- These diaries are notes that I think might be useful to me. I find that if I write it down, the process helps reduce confusion. Other peoples comments, like these, are also helpful. mtew 19:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
