Minecraft is one of them. -- Wyn talk 21:30, 28 December 2010 (UTC) Damn... I'd pull my hair out over just what you've done here, let alone spread across 7 wikis.--Neithan Diniem 23:31, 28 December 2010 (UTC) Minecraft is awesome. --neshot. 23:44, 28 December 2010. Does everyone in the entire world play minecraft except for me?!? I feel so outnumbered and surrounded O.O --Teska Jadestar 07:17, 27 February 2011 (UTC) Yes actually. elix Omni 07:24, 27 February 2011 (UTC) Quick little bit of image help, pretty please I'm trying to upload an image of my guild cape for the new page I am working on creating. I seem to have named the image incorrectly for it to show up properly on the page. In trying to fix the error, I ended up uploading a duplicate (also incorrectly named). The guild name is "The Gryphons Aerie". Thank you very much in advance for your help. AriaSilverfyre 04:37, 14 January 2011 (UTC) Greener fixed it --Riddle 05:14, 14 January 2011 (UTC) User:Wynthyst/Template/Devotion Hey, I love your templates I had a question about your HoM ones. All of the other ones ask what prof you are so the colors get changed correctly but the Devotion one asks for background and border. I've tried all the prof color templates and hex codes and nothing seems to change the color. Is this something you have wrong in your template and it should ask for prof like the others? If not, what do I put there? Thanks Devi Talk 17:59, 19 January 2011 (UTC) Woops! My bad, sorry about that... I had missed the prof variable in my usage notes.. so if you add | prof = and use the standard profession abbreviations that should take care of it.. I hope :D -- Wyn talk 02:09, 20 January 2011 (UTC) That's ok, I thought that's what it was but I was trying thing's earlier and it wasn't working. I'll try again. Thanks for the response! Devi Talk 02:15, 20 January 2011 (UTC) If it doesn't work, let me know, and I will look at it again :D -- Wyn talk 02:17, 20 January 2011 (UTC) Questions I have a request. I did This with looking at your templates and figuring things out. I just have one problem. i would like the "V" for hard mode to be gold instead of green but how do i do that without adding a ton of extra code? Second is it possible for a HOM resilience template where instead of pictures you just get a list with the names like Granite Citadel Exclusive Armor, Marhan's Grotto Ascended Armor, ... Something along the likes like on the "Resilience" page under statues Rhonin Soren 22:57, 21 January 2011 (UTC) For the mission progression template, I made an adjustment on the dTH variable (you can see the change by comparing edits in the history. Then look at your Mission progression page to see how to make it work. You can either change the rest, or revert my changes if it isn't what you wanted. As for the resilience template, simply replace the image file links with text links. -- Wyn talk 08:22, 22 January 2011 (UTC) The golden V wasn't wat i wanted. I wanted just yes so it automatticly changed to gold instead of adding yes|gold. Anyway thx for trying. I also builded the resilience like i wanted This is what I wanted but thx for all your templates they helped learning me the basics. Rhonin Soren 13:58, 22 January 2011 (UTC) You can set up your own template for it, but it would have to be something other than yes since that's an already established template and since it has the functionality already you would have to put it into your userspace, so you would have to type a lot more than yes|gold or someone would tag it for deletion as a duplicate. I'm sure it can be done with more complex code, but this was the fastest fix. -- Wyn talk 14:50, 22 January 2011 (UTC) Coding help Hey Wyn, can you help me on this please? I've managed to make parameters but I want an input profession (another template) to be imputed which would change infobox colors accordingly. (ie: profession = guardian or {{prof|guardian}}) I'm asking you cause I know you're very experienced in coding. Thanks! - Lucian 4:36, 2 February 2011 (UTC) Oh and don't worry about categories... we have almost to no info regarding that. - Lucian 4:36, 2 February 2011 (UTC) All you need are a few #switch variables in there to do that Im thinking.--Neithan Diniem 16:56, 3 February 2011 (UTC) Care to put them in? I don't mind if you need to make a page in my userspace. - Lucian 3:17, 5 February 2011 (UTC) RIFT Are you playing RIFT by chance, I was playing the other day and teamed up with a person named Garnette, made me think it might have been you. - Drakora 08:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC) Nope, not me.. I'm relegated to the "free to play" games these days. -- Wyn talk 08:49, 8 March 2011 (UTC) Armors They look awesome, like what you've done with the colors :D Harrier C. Goodman talk 19:02, 10 March 2011 (UTC) User:Wynthyst/Template/Elite_Skills Is it something im doing wrong or when i add "It's Just a Flesh Wound." to the list it dose not add the tick saying iv got it feel free to look who iv got it in but it wont work User:Atlantis29/Sunday Dusk/Elite --→[ »Atlantis29 (talk)« ]← 22:00, 11 March 2011 (UTC) "| "It's just a flesh wound." = yes" is not the same as "| "It's Just a Flesh Wound." = yes" (note the caps), which is why it doesn't work. - Infinite - talk 22:04, 11 March 2011 (UTC) this one is backward all lower case works where as the correct caped one dose not could be something to look at for Wyn thanks User:Mora for fixing that --→[ »Atlantis29 (talk)« ]← 22:19, 11 March 2011 (UTC) I believe this is a case of Anet making changes... when I created the template, I used the skill names the way they were in game at the time. They have since changed some of them, but because my templates are used by so many people (many who have left actively editing) I didn't want to make changes to the templates. I figured people will figure it out. (My derv Alexa has everything, so can always be used as a reference.) -- Wyn talk 23:08, 11 March 2011 (UTC) if you read the GW.com website... "...If you read the GW.com website, you will see that no user suggestions will be accepted by ArenaNet via email or snail mail" I can't find anywhere at guildwars.com where they even mention anything about suggestions. I've looked at the FAQ, Legal, EULA, Conduct Rules, Community... And for good measure, I visited guildwars2.com; couldn't find it there either. The closest I could find is under Contact Information, "Due to the overwhelming volume of mail we receive, be aware that we are unable to respond to every message, but we do read all mail." Could you provide the link? Thanks.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 05:53, 16 March 2011 (UTC) http://guildwars.com/support/legal/termsofuse.php second from the last secton "we cannot accept or review any unsolicited ideas or suggestions that are sent to us outside of the Guild Wars Wiki, so please direct your suggestions and ideas to the Game Suggestions section."-- Wyn talk 09:04, 16 March 2011 (UTC) Wow. That is extremely well hidden. Thanks for the link; I would never have looked for it there. (On a side note, that's seems extreme to me. I can't remember any company refusing unsolicited advice so specifically. I wonder if there's new case law about this. But more practically, if they read all mail [as stated elsewhere], how can they claim that they don't accept ideas through mail? ← rhetorical question; obviously, the company has its rules, which don't have to be 100% self-consistent.) Thanks again for finding the reference.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 16:30, 16 March 2011 (UTC) TEF, even prior to the Feedback space, they had a clause (worded differently) That they would not accept unsolicited suggestions/ideas from players. They rewrote it after the creation of the Feedback space to point people to us if they wished to submit suggestions that ArenaNet could use. -- Wyn talk 00:58, 17 March 2011 (UTC) Wyn I miss you. -Ping Aw Pingachu, I miss you too :D -- Wyn talk 08:20, 30 March 2011 (UTC) <33 Wyn, is Pingachu still in the guild? I'm afraid i got hacked, and can't sign in. I'm pretty much out of luck, becauseI can't find my CD keys. =/ Yes he's still in the guild. -- Wyn talk 17:17, 30 March 2011 (UTC) What you think I should do? Im sorry for bothering you. =/ I want to come back, and make my HoM pretty =D. All you can do is contact support. There's really no other option. It would be nice if you would sign your posts. -- Wyn talk 22:47, 30 March 2011 (UTC) I don't know how to do that, I am not wiki-saavy. I'm sorry, this was the only way I knew I could contact you. I'll figure it out, I just found one of my game keys, so I should be on in a few days. I know you are busy now and days, but I missed you. <3 -Ping This isn't a wiki thing. You need to go to the support site and file a ticket.. I'm glad you found one of your keys :D I love you and you aren't bothering me Pingachu.... ever... let me know when you are back in the game, I'll come play. -- Wyn talk 03:20, 31 March 2011 (UTC) Lol i meant to sign my posts. But it got fixed up this morning, a lot sooner than I thought! I'm reloading GW into a new computer so I should be on sometime this afternoon. Thank you Wyn, <333 Te quiero. -Ping. You can sign your posts by writing four tildes: ~~~~. Good luck with your account :) poke | talk 23:07, 31 March 2011 (UTC) Regarding your Quick Access Links Hi Wynthyst. I'm not well-known around wiki, but I was wondering if I could copy your quick links section and incorperate it into my user page? I thought it'd be best to ask you before copying it down, since you didn't give any disclaimer about that. Blue Clouded 02:09, 14 April 2011 (UTC) That's fine :D Help yourself, but thanks for asking! -- Wyn talk 03:08, 14 April 2011 (UTC) Thank you very much! Anja and yourself did a fantastic job on them. :) Blue Clouded 21:15, 14 April 2011 (UTC) Can I borrow your help once again? I have 7 character pages (all except main) with your templates but I dont know how to add the illustrated hero template in the right place... Thank you ^^ Yoshida Keiji 15:11, 25 May 2011 (UTC) need some editing help Some where I messed something up, probably didn't close off something, and I can't figure it out. I dont know alot about wiki editing; I've figured out what i have by looking around and "dissecting" parts from various other pages. This is the page in question. There are two problems; first the track and templates sections should be separate,like this, yet the track section extends under the templates. Secondly the navigation bars, on both those pages were moved/squished; i had a similar problem on guild wiki but forget just how we fixed it. Any help you could give me to point out where the problem is would be appreciated. Vlad Tsepesh 05:14, 4 June 2011 (UTC) Hey I noticed your template had a misspelling of Slavers' Exile. The template is this one. Kaisha 19:59, 14 June 2011 (UTC) Templates Hey, I'm fixing my page up with some of your absolutely epic templates but ran into some minor issues. Where it says "prof =" I assume you're supposed to fill something in, but can't figure out what to write there correctly, I only get coding errors. Please help me out ^_^ EDIT: Just realised how it needed to be filled in, stupid I didn't try that earlier. Thanks again though for absolutely epic templates! Jackie 12:54, 22 June 2011 (UTC) You are welcome, and I'm glad you figured it out :D -- Wyn talk 08:18, 23 June 2011 (UTC) Wyn, I have modified and updated Kakarot's template for Festival Hats for my own use. I have a Costume and a Everlasting Tonic Page based on that template. I had all of that on one template but seperated them on different templates like I did for my Unique Item collection because it was huge. I need to figure out how to wrap the tonic pics in the EL Tonic template to make it look better. Once I get over 12 tonics in each section it looks crazy. I would like to try and keep the tonics in maybe 3 rows with 12 in each row. The Non-Monthly and the 6th year Birthday Tonics are the ones that need to be in 2 and 3 rows respectively due to the amounts. The Monthly Tonic seems to work ok with all 12 tonics showing. You have got me out of a pinch before and it appears like Kakarot is not on anymore. Any help would be great. Thank you.--Tbox875 15:09, 8 November 2011 (UTC) New question On the PvE Only -template, there is no coding for the Lightbringer skills, planning on adding them or have any reason to why they're not there? I'm talking about skills such as Lightbringer's Gaze. Was also wondering if you had any or knew any nice and simple (or just nice) templates for talking pages. I'd want to piff mine up but not sure how to do it really nicely. I'd also like to let you know that I've copied the templates to my own site and made some changes in them to fit my site better. And I want to thank you again for making such awesome templates that are easy to use and work with! Jackie File:Heart.gif Jackie, I have taken Wyn's PVE skill template and modified it a bit for the same reason. You can use it if you want. I also have a few templates under the contributions section of my main page that you can use as well. --Tbox875 15:53, 2 December 2011 (UTC) an issue worth mentioning It doesn't take 24 hrs to tally the vote - I know it doesn't, it takes about ten minutes if you bother to write it up nicely. The Elections page schedules for these ten minutes to occur sometime within the 24 hours following the voting phase. And he did post it 3.5 hrs past midnight UTC. - He posted it 3.5 hours after the voting phase, which is 20.5 hours before the time allotted for the tally to be made has passed. Hence, I deem Felix to be on time and not "late". I don't see an issue worth mentioning here. - I am the judge of what I deem worth mentioning to Felix on his personal talkpage - I and possibly Felix. I do not understand why you feel driven to point out the fact that my message is irrelevant to you (since you weren't even a party to the conversation) - it would hardly seem worth mentioning to me if I were you. Taking you literally, maybe you didn't really see what my post is about - your initial two statements instructing me in what I already know and your failure to acknowledge the point I actually made (namely, that Felix hasn't been late) suggest this interpretation to me. I hope the two points above have provided enough clues to my motivation for posting that small bit on Felix's page, and it has by now gotten way more attention than it ever deserved to get (in this we probably both agree). --mendel 12:31, 4 July 2011 (UTC) Mendel; it's posts like these that cause some people to think that you blow things out of proportion and take everything too seriously/overanalyze... just saying. Hash it out privately or let it go. 207.62.238.139 21:37, 5 July 2011 (UTC) Pictures Hello! I was just wondering if it was you who made the Flashing Names Pictures on Judge Ra's and Kelli's Userpages, if it was, I would like to ask you if you could make one for me with Judge Ra's colors but saying 'Fabian' Thanks! Fabian 02:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC) Howdy Merry Christmas! Drogo Boffin 03:02, 26 December 2011 (UTC) Somebody messed up A user changed the coding of this template and now my (and everybody elses) character pages are screwed. Can you protect this so nobody but you touches it? Yoshida Keiji talk 00:28, 8 January 2012 (UTC) Modifying other's comments on discussion pages. Can you link me a policy (page) that explains the terms in which a user can modify another users comments?

Sorry about being an ass to you in the past.. - Mini Me 00:21, 27 January, 2012 (UTC) It's ok.. I'm not the easiest person to get along with sometimes. I am fine, busy.... oh so busy..... -- Wyn talk 07:52, 29 January 2012 (UTC) I MISS YOU WYN, YOU WERE MY FAVORITE ADMIN!! - Wuhy 22:56, 28 September 2012 (UTC) ok, after Auron maybe - Wuhy 11:50, 8 October 2012 (UTC) celestial dragon Going to adde the new dragon mini to mini template? Tried to do it myself but I couldn't get it right so I gave up. (I have 3 of them) Ramei Arashi 22:03, 4 February 2012 (UTC) I will take care of it. -- Wyn talk 20:17, 5 February 2012 (UTC) Done. -- Wyn talk 20:43, 5 February 2012 (UTC) Account Issues Hey Wyn, can you check to see if there's some kind of flag on my account or something? I was working on my user pages last night to rebuild my layout. Came online today to finish what I'd started but it seems I can't edit or create user pages at all. For example, every time I try to create a new user page (ie clicking save changes) the page reloads as a red linked page that doesn't exist. I've cleared my cookies just in case as they do screw up from time to time. Made double sure that they were deleted. I'm running Firefox v9. Not sure what other information I can give. 0.o Can say it's the first time this has ever happened and when I was updating, I wasn't spamming the change log with updates. *shrugs* If you could look into this for me or pass it to another that could, that would be amazingly helpful. Thanks! -- Magic Talk 21:40, 7 February 2012 (UTC) Just got to thinking, it seems I can in fact edit other pages as I *just* sent you that message. It seems that pages tied to my namespace User:Magic(/) I can't seem to do anything with. Maybe that added info can help? -- Magic Talk 21:42, 7 February 2012 (UTC) Uhm... For reason I do not understand, it appears all the edits wiki "ate" on my end are now showing in the recent changes and seems to have happened all at once. It's even showing that some of them were created and then repeatedly over written. Sorry for the recent changes spam. Interestingly enough, I did add notes to the edits while I was having the issue so it documents what was going on and to an extent, the reason for the change spam. Not sure if you did anything to fix this and just haven't posted yet or what. O.o If so, thank you. If not, well *shrugs*. -- Magic Talk 22:06, 7 February 2012 (UTC) I would guess the server cache was stuck. And no, I had nothing to do with it, it just fixes itself. -- Wyn talk 06:15, 14 February 2012 (UTC) Zaishen Menagerie needs Panda You should add Panda to Zaishen Menagerie template. Ramei Arashi 22:22, 5 March 2012 (UTC) Problem with an ex guild member vandalizing our discussion page Hi Wynn haven't talked to you in some time but have a problem we need a little help with. We have been having problems with a guild member that was kicked in game now here today he vandlized our page. apparently from the history he had a page himself called silveredge its in the edit history. can anything be done to prevent this or block this person its getting out of had going to send a report to anet too don't know what else to do--Jenn 00:24, 21 May 2012 (UTC) Uh Silver Edge didn't post the vandalism, he reverted it--Deus 04:42, 21 May 2012 (UTC) Yes I figured that out. The IP address is there of who did it. Can they be blocked from doing it again and how?--Jenn 13:09, 21 May 2012 (UTC) If you're not using it... I heard that you're not going to play Guild Wars 2. If that is the case, would you consider "donating" your Guild Wars account / Hall of Monuments (you know what I mean, linking an account for benefits) to someone else? Vili 点 02:39, 29 May 2012 (UTC) No, I would not "consider donating my HOM". -- Wyn talk 20:44, 4 June 2012 (UTC) Keys I got you 67 zkeys and 2 emerald blades, 2 green everlasting tonics, and 2 celestial compasses you could sell to get more keys. That should nab you all 150. Also, I dunno where else to contact you. You were offline on Steam. —ǥrɩɳsɧƴɖɩđđɭɘş 23:34, 1 July 2012 (UTC) R.I.P. Unless I'm mistaken, Wyn passed away. See: Gamepedia - User:Wynthyst. God bless her soul. --173.51.221.24 21:23, 16 May 2014 (UTC) What on that page you linked to indicates this? --Silver Edge 07:21, 17 May 2014 (UTC) That link isn't the best one; several curse wikis have more specific messages about it. They're holding an online memorial for her tomorrow on freenode IRC server (#gamepedia channel) at 8PM UTC (1PM PDT). -Auron 08:38, 17 May 2014 (UTC) SE: When I accessed that page yesterday, there was some info at the very top regarding this matter. But now it's gone. Steve1 (talk) 10:13, 17 May 2014 (UTC) Here's a log of the IRC memorial Auron mentioned, for anyone who couldn't be there but just wants to know they aren't alone valuing Wyn: http://pastebin.com/E3sBGXEL Also Gamepedia has a nice little memorial page for her where you can leave some thoughts if you have a Curse account. - Tanetris (talk) 21:47, 17 May 2014 (UTC) How saddening and distressing. Thanks for letting us know. – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 19:51, 21 May 2014 (UTC) RIP Wyn. -- FreedomBound 00:01, 22 May 2014 (UTC) Thanks for linking to the log Tanetris. I guess university removed me from gaming and the wikiverse at just the right time to miss the amazing impact Wyn made - I feel lucky (and weirdly proud) to have known her and enjoyed working with her before her impressive progression. It looks like she maintained her very pleasant nature. Thank you Wyn for everything! - Y0_ich_halt 11:41, 22 May 2014 (UTC) Well that is bad news. While it might not have always looked like it, I respect her for the heaps of work she has done across the 10+ wikis she was active on. Koda 17:08, 25 May 2014 (UTC) No way! She pretty much built my user page! RIP --Hubbard File:Hubbard.sig.Heritage Warhelm.png The Warrior 18:43, 4 June 2014 (UTC) What is guild wars wiki's policy regarding user-pages/contributions of community members known/confirmed to be diseased? --71.107.35.42 02:56, 5 June 2014 (UTC) You spelt "deceased" wrong. It's not covered in Guild Wars Wiki:User pages. What about contributions? If you're asking if they'll be deleted, then no they won't be deleted. --Silver Edge 04:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC) If we would be expected to edit her user page that would be extremely disrespectful. This is the final visual representation of her personal wiki-creativity and to alter it now that she's passed away would destroy the image permanently. Leaving the account, the contributions, and the user space intact as they all stand is the only "policy" we should adopt here. - Infinite - talk 11:48, 5 June 2014 (UTC) I don't think it's an issue that's really come up before. Wikipedia has a set of guidelines for dealing with this sort of thing, though. While I'm here, I'd also like to pay my respects. She did a lot for the wiki, and this was reflected in her being given the rare distinction of having an NPC named after her. RIP Wyn. --Santax (talk · contribs) 14:39, 5 June 2014 (UTC) Protecting the whole of her user space is something I hadn't considered, but it does make sense. I'd not want a hatnote on my page in the event that I were to pass away, personally. The people who care would know, the people who don't care can't feign empathy by learning via a hatnote. - Infinite - talk 15:33, 5 June 2014 (UTC) Well, her main userpage is protected vs IPs + movement. If her sub-pages ever do get vandalised, a quick visit to Special:PrefixIndex can be used to generate a list to prot. -Chieftain Alex 15:16, 6 June 2014 (UTC) A humble token of our appreciation: Guild_Wars_Wiki:Wynthyst_memorial --Stephane Lo Presti talk 18:29, 1 July 2014 (UTC) You will be truly missed - Thank you for all you have done! R.I.P. FriendMystiLefemEle (talk) 08:08, 5 July 2014 (UTC) I'm absolutely gutted. Wyn was the very first friend I made on this Wiki, she fixed my user page when I joined. I stop by here and her various other wiki user pages from time to time to see how she's doing but was greatly saddened when I saw this today. We hadn't spoken in a while but I will miss her dearly. Take Care Darling. :..( Titan Crow 22:55, 26 August 2014 (UTC) ADDED; I don't suppose anyone knows how she passed? And who she left behind? Also, what her real name was or if someone can point me to a picture of her. I really would love to put a name and face to the person we all knew as Wynthyst. It's strange that for someone I knew for so long, I know next to nothing about her outside of her wiki and gaming life. Titan Crow 15:43, 28 August 2014 (UTC) None of that... is really appropriate information to divulge. If you actually knew her before she passed, you'd have a right to know, otherwise it's just prying. Respect her and her family's privacy and her legacy on these wikis. -Auron 15:58, 28 August 2014 (UTC) I'm really sorry if it came across as prying, that's not at all what I meant. I did know her though but only through the wikis and speaking to her in game. I know its not quite the same as being a friend that knew her in person. Again, I am really sorry if it came across as insensitive. Titan Crow 16:33, 28 August 2014 (UTC) I know we didn't... always get along, but I'd still like to leave my condolences. God bless, Wyn. — Raine Valen 19:26, 28 Aug 2014 (UTC) Wow, I have hardly been on the wiki in the past few years, and this is the first thing I see when I come back to check up on things. My absolute sincerest condolences reach out to Wyn's family, she was an amazing wiki contributor, and I will never forget her and what she has done for the entire community. May you rest in peace, Wyn. -- Lacky 04:42, 27 February 2016 (UTC) Hi Lacky, FYI we've created a memorial for her on the wiki: Guild_Wars_Wiki:Wynthyst_memorial --Stephane Lo Presti talk 16:55, 29 February 2016 (UTC) Hey Stephane, thank you. I saw that the other day too. I have left a message out of respect. -- Lacky 18:12, 29 February 2016 (UTC) Just stumbled over this. Thank you Wyn for all you've done. -- Magic Talk 01:29, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
