User talk:Shifuimam/Suggestion for skill search

From Guild Wars Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

-IF- this proposal is -NOW- technically feasible, then you Sir are now my new favorite user on this wiki. ^_^ Pretty much everything you intend to do is what I've been wanting to do for the past 5+ years on this wiki... I spend 99% of my time cross-referencing a dozen-tabs-worth of skill-search-criteria when updating Feedback. Arguably half of the subcategories tagged with Category:Skills and Category:Lists of skills were either created or I helped improve. Could this also help aid in solving aging pages/projects issues such as Functionality, Related subject, Skill history? If it can be done, then lets get a Guild Wars Wiki:Projects going! --Falconeye 11:39, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

As of now, there's no way to do this on the GW wiki without installing at least one extension. Once we move to Semantic MediaWiki, I think it will be absolutely possible and even easy to do. In the meantime, I think it's worth taking the time to make sure that nothing is missing in the existing skill categories so that we can move right into it once the wiki update is done.

Is this project now feasible? --Falconeye (talk) 01:50, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
No, much to my suprise, we didn't get SMW. -Chieftain Alex 09:26, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
