Templates

So just wondering how does one go about making a template and how does one know if its even worth being a template? I probably should give more info than that. I have basically bastardized the elite skill page coding and modified it to my own uses to serve as my skill capture page. Now the only other template i could find on this was very awkward to use and not very user friendly or pretty and I think that my adapted page is better than it, however I'm not sure if their is any point in making it a template for others to use and even if there was a point, I'm unsure how to go about making it so. The page can be seen here and your comments would be greatly appreciated. -- Salome 00:16, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Salome! You can get basic instructions on creating a Template here. I have also created an Elite skills template here that is fairly easy to use. -- Wynthyst 00:24, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh cool wyn, thank you kindly. -- Salome 00:25, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

The best ways of learning template syntax would be to either read it straight from a manual (the help pages on this wiki and Meta) or look at existing templates and modify for yourself. Once you know the simple stuff, it's fairly easy to use it for your own template. -- Brains12 \ Talk 15:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Galil

Matey do you know if Galil is alright or not? As not seen him in ages and just a bit worried about him. -- Salome 15:26, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

No, unfortunately he hasn't been on since around April 4. If I remember correctly, he had been a little busy with exams and essays, so perhaps he has taken a wiki-break until they are over. It may be worth asking Helena as she knows him in "real life". -- Brains12 \ Talk 15:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Or Anja since if I remember right they are sisters and Helena hasn't been too active lately. --Kakarot 15:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, however I'm not sure if Anja knows him as well as Helena does. Would still be a good idea asking her though. -- Brains12 \ Talk 15:39, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I've asked Helena before and I think this is a "normal pattern" for Galil :P He loses interest/gets busy and comes back later :) - anja 16:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

lol :D poke | talk 16:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

LOL, glad to hear it, was worried about him. -- Salome 16:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Well it was a bit weird since as far as I can remember this is the first time he has done it on the wiki. --Kakarot 16:26, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I think Brains "got rid" of him...... --Shadowphoenix 16:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Your face "got rid" of him...... (;D)

But maybe I should login as him sometimes... oops! poke | talk 17:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

ZOMG ADMINZ NPA BANNZHAMMER NOWz Special:Blockip/Poke --Shadowphoenix 17:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Hahaha, I knew you were Galil! :P -- Brains12 \ Talk 20:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, it was my turn to log in as Galil and I kinda forgot. That's why poke didn't. -- ab.er.rant 09:26, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

shht! There is no need for them to know that! poke | talk 13:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I bet you there's only actually Aberrant, Anja, Brains and Poke running about on this wiki and all the rest are just their admin sockpuppet accounts. Bad Admins, Bad! *waves rolled up newspaper in threatening manner* -- Salome 14:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Almost right. It's just me, really. - anja 14:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

LOL, its okay out of the members theirs only Me, Auron and Helena. Everyone else is just a figment of our twisted imagination. 10,000 users and yet it's only the 4 of us on the wiki! woohoo us! Now to overtthrow anet and then rule the world *evil cakkle*-- Salome 15:27, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Why do you think Checkuser was rejected? :P -- Brains12 \ Talk 15:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

LOL @ brains & Sum. Sum, You can always have my waffles, but as you are a figment of my imagination, you can only have imaginary waffles. :) -- Salome 15:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

The main purpose of sock "poke" and the sock's sock "Galil" is only to hide the ultimate coding knowledge of me (Anja). poke | talk 16:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I feel rejected... :p Calor 19:41, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

That's because you don't exist! Muahaha -- Brains12 \ Talk 19:47, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Someone else make this IP appear in the edit history or I exist :D -Calor 72.93.102.16 19:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... a Swedish IP. -- Brains12 \ Talk 20:00, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

American. Calor 20:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Bad Anja, get off the Calor sockpuppet, we know its you. -- Salome 20:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

admit it, salome, you're yourself only one of anja's sockpuppet and she's trying to fool us big time. - Y0_ich_halt 20:26, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

But remember: us = Anja! poke | talk 20:31, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

now i get it! this whole wiki is anja! wait, that means i'm alone here with her. or am i her, too? - Y0_ich_halt 20:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Am i the only one with an urge to say "you will be assimiliated!", or is that Anja talking? -- Salome 21:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

*whistles* *moves on* - anja 21:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

woah, anja is a huge super-frickn uber boss :OOO - Y0_ich_halt 22:02, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Well I am not Anja >.> but we know that anja is really Gaile Gray anyway --Shadowphoenix 22:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Well all I can say is that Brains and I figured Anja did seem to be controlling me in the above droks (explorable) section, near the end of that convo. --Kakarot 22:08, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) she always did, you just never noticed before :P and she's possessing you, too shadow! you just haven't noticed yet either... - Y0_ich_halt 22:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Heh. As you were about to consult me in this matter, I can tell you: Yes, he does this all the time, and it annoys me as much every time. He'll probably be back in a month or so, I would guess he's busy with school right now. Or he didn't want to stay as he regrets too much that he let me pwn him on Guitar Hero III. - helena 22:27, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Do you confirm or decline that Anja is in fact everyone? *sticks a mic in Helena's face* --Shadowphoenix 22:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Anja can't be everyone, because of this: I wiggle my toes, therefore I exist. -- Mini Me 22:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Cogito, ergo sum. - Y0_ich_halt 22:41, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

You could always try using Special:Emailuser/Galil if you're ever wondering where a user is and Shadowphoenix, Anja isn't Gaile...Dirigible is. — ク Eloc 貢 23:26, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

And Dir is Anja's brother which also explains why Gaile is Anja's brother as well. poke | talk 23:27, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

My head hurts! which therefore must mean Anja's head hurts -- Salome 23:31, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

No, since your head hurts, that means Anja is absorbing your brain power somehow, which also directly affect Brains12 somehow. — ク Eloc 貢 23:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

O RLY?! --People of Antioch 00:25, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Omg. Shadowphoenix, I decline, as I'd like to be a separate human being myself :P - helena 07:11, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

A likely story..... Anja says what? --Shadowphoenix 08:11, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

i'm now confused...--Sum Mesmer Guy contribs 10:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Guild Page

Hey Brains as you're on, can you have a look at the guild page for Mortem_Ferentes as the sidebar seems to be going into the content. By the looks of it it is missing an end tag for the first table and I know this has happened another guild page but have no idea how to fix it or where to place the tag. --Kakarot 13:27, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I've fixed it. -- Mini Me 13:43, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Pre-defined delete reasons

Since making the fix Poke mentioned to these have you noticed any problems? I meant to ask before now but I completely forgot all about it :/ --Kakarot 16:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Nope, I've edited the reasons since his fix. If you still have problems, you might want to check for differences between the two. -- Brains12 \ Talk 16:36, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I almost got Eloc the other day, but he added his sig right about the same time I posted it on his talk page =/. Mohnzh say what? 15:55, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Brains, about the sig change: either I must be really stupid, or I misunderstood. If you click on my signature you go to my user page, so I think that part is OK; however what do you mean by re-uploading my picture.. its a pic I found here: , could so clarify what you mean please? - King Bazaah 15:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

click the image to go to that image's page. then right-click it and pick "save as..." to download it. now, click "upload file" (left navigation), browse for the image and enter in the "name" field: "User King Bazaah (signature or something)". now click "upload". the result: you have exactly the same image under a different name on this wiki. now put #REDIRECT [[User:King Bazaah]] on the image page, so when people click it they get to your user page instead. put that image (Image:User King Bazaah sig.jpg) in your signature and you're done. - Y0_ich_halt 16:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Images

Hello Brains12, one or more of the images you have recently uploaded have not been named properly as per our image policy. It says that images that are uploaded for use in the User namespace need to be named in the following format: User <User name> <short description>.<file extention> . For example, User Brains12 fail.jpg .

Reading and filling out the upload form will help you a lot with naming and tagging images, so I recommend you take your time when uploading an image. Thanks. Calor 22:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Request: to revert a page/article

Hey can you revert Facet of Spirit back to where I last edited it because this guy User:HeWhoIsPale mess it up. I left a message on his talk page on how he mess up 2 days ago, and since I don't know how to revert articles I thought I'll let you be the one to do it.--Ridz16 03:40, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Done :). In the mean time you can use the history to revert changes. 68.151.27.108 03:48, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I can get to history part but then what next?--Ridz16 03:49, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Click undo beside the last person who edited its name, then click save page, and thats all there is to it :o) --Shadowphoenix 06:47, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

More info at Help:Reverting. -- Brains12 \ talk 12:01, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Rude much?

"begging does not constitute "community news""; I was not begging for anything. The donations are for a contest which will be hosted by the [GOD] alliance, the donations are not for me. That was very rude on your part. If you did not agree with it being there, you could have put; "maybe you should wait until the contest is launched", or something to the like. --Shadowphoenix 18:14, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

In any case, if it is done as an in-game activity (even if GWW related), you may want to create a proper CME article instead of using the community news section for it.--Fighterdoken 18:20, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but it is not going to be a huge event for the entire GW community, it is mostly going to be for GWW users since the submission will be posted here on GWW. That is why I decided not to make CME article for it. --Shadowphoenix 18:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

For some of your things a fansite forum would be a lot more suited. Please don't forget that we are here to document the wiki game. poke | talk 18:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

....I thought we decided a while back that the community news section was for things likeGWW:BDAY and The horn, etc. --Shadowphoenix 18:24, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't change the fact that you are starting things which simply does not belong to a wiki. poke | talk 18:28, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

You know what I give up, do what you will.... There is no pleasing anyone --Shadowphoenix 18:31, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) Community news, yes, not asking for donations to fund an in-game project of yours. I would think enough users watch your talk page that you don't need to plaster it on the community portal. Even better, contact people ingame if they want to give you stuff. That's what guilds are for.

My patience runs low. People need to stop wasting time and being so sensitive. -- Brains12 \ talk 18:32, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

not to cause any more issues, but what constitutes news? -- Salome 18:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

New bcrats, big new policy change, new admins, new wiki, new content and we need to document it, etc. Not community projects. Calor 18:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, was just wondering that was all. -- Salome 18:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

community projects are fine, as long as they belong on a wiki (as GWW:BDAY does). poke | talk 18:46, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Poke. I forgot to elaborate on that, as some community projects are theoretically allowed on the page. Calor 18:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) To be fair, Shadowphoenix, other community events such as Cinco de Mayo and Oktoberfest have only ever gotten a wiki page with a tag stating the event was a community organized one, so I don't see why the event for [GOD] should get special treatment. Why not just create an event page on the wiki? Kokuou 18:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

@ Calor, thats because they where not officially seen as events. Plus no wiki page was needed at the time. @ Brains In need of a wiki break also? @ SP. Lifes life, not everything will get accepted. Just got to move on to the next project. If something bothers you, let it go...unless its always going on. Dominator Matrix 07:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

One More Question

I recently created the articles for the Anguished Souls. I've got two questions about that. 1: was it ok that I used the image of a Spirit of Shelter? I know for a fact they share the same appearence, but I'm wondering if a true authentic picture is needed. Second, I added a bit of info into Anguished Souls, but I'm not sure what it would exactly fall under. right now, its an NPC stub with a list of the spirits, but I'm not sure how to expand on that (and yes, I've read formatting, no luck yet :P). If you can look into those, that'd be nice. I just want to make sure I didnt screw anything up again. -- Wandering Traveler 18:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

If it is simply a list of all types of Anguished Souls, make it a disambiguation page with {{disambig}} and a list of the spirits; something like the Seborhin Pest page. If they are not Angushed Souls, but simply related, leave it as an NPC stub for expansion (i.e. as it is now). -- Brains12 \ talk 18:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Makes sense to me. I'll see what I can do with it. Thanks. -- Wandering Traveler 18:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

"Why are we letting a couple of words delay this for so long?"

Because of the difficulty of changing anything once it has been committed to policy in our current state, there's a huge impetus to not let something be committed until every last problem is worked out. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 15:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Draft B has received positive responses and "gogos" from, as I said, everyone but Backsword. When the change is as little as how something is logged, and when it would be extremely rare for something needing logging, it slows down what would be a huge achievement in getting that policy accepted. The outlook on draft E has been apathetic so far, so I can't help thinking that it would be better to implement B and then work out the minute detail that is the logging of a rare occurrence. -- Brains12 \ talk 15:53, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I agree, I was just providing an answer to your question. :) (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 16:13, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

switch "Orders" with "Order"?

i just tried to rework the article a bit and wanted to add "Orders" as redirect to "Order" afterwards, but you were faster than me :P Yet shouldn't articles use singular forms instead? —ZerphaThe Improver 11:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah sorry, I should have let you finish. If you wanted to rework it as a build-type article, it should be Orders because it usually has to work with a set of them; if it's a descriptive article about what an "Order" is, then it should be Order. I assumed you created the Order page because you weren't aware of the Orders page, seeing as it wasn't moved but created from scratch instead. Sorry :P -- Brains12 \ talk 13:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

nah, np. I also didn't know that the Orders page is treated as build - since it does at least currently not seem to be focused on that, and rather on the skill lists. (As i already somewhere noticed once, i'd prefer a "warning message" for build pages. —ZerphaThe Improver 19:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Not really sure, so I guess you should go ahead and do what you were originally going to do :/ -- Brains12 \ talk 19:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I was going to switch these two articles now as it didn't look like a build in my eyes, but Murex changed the Order article now to a disambig. This should be ok for now. —ZerphaThe Improver 02:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

LOL

Look at the deletion log for LOL, we performed a simultaneous deletion. --Kakarot 21:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Then it got tagged. :P Lord Belar 21:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) It was indeed "LOL", considering DE tagged it just after as well :P -- Brains12 \ talk 21:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah just saw that, wonder if Poke could implement a change to GWWT so that if a page was deleted it would go back to the edit page similar to how an edit conflict does. --Kakarot 21:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I can sympathize with DE... Back to work, Poke! :P Calor 21:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

GWWT doesn't prevent edit conflicts :P poke | talk 21:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

huh Poke? What I meant is that if the page gets deleted before the person tags it it goes back to the edit page in a similar way that when a normal edit gets an edit conflict it goes back to the edit page with a message saying there was an edit conflict. --Kakarot 15:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

When you tag a page and it is deleted, before you press tag&save, then you recreate the page :P poke | talk 19:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Suppose that's exactly what Kakarot proposed to change :P —ZerphaThe Improver 19:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

hehe

"Tip: Don't rightclick on the image and select "Set as Background."", lol I didnt do that :P still funny though --Shadowphoenix 15:54, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

"as ingame"

Wasn't the previous one the concise description? —ZerphaThe Improver 12:23, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Traditional - While suffering from this condition, you deal less damage with attacks and all of your attributes are reduced by 1. Concise - You deal 66% less damage with attacks and your attributes are reduced by 1. Do we go with the traditional or concise for the condition in-game description? -- Brains12 \ talk 14:53, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Better would be both :P poke | talk 14:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

yeah, we could do it with the conditions just like we do it with skills. The concise description for conditions is most often even more useful than the regular one. —ZerphaThe Improver 02:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

so i herd ur just active in the "muddy" gwguru thread?

After having read the thread i actually rly think this is only a fake. I also noticed that the icon was noticeable popping out of its trade spot...Though this icon really looks like an original-sized version of Smurf's previous little upload as seen at artistans. —ZerphaThe Improver 02:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, it may seem credible, yet as you say, it's popping out of the slot -- does that happen with any other items? The image could probably stay on the article until we know for sure that it's a fake. -- Brains12 \ talk 02:34, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

At least they normally don't pop out of the slot as much as the Clay Brick does. They nearly overlap a bit. —ZerphaThe Improver 02:40, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

If you say it's noticeably similar to Smurf's icon, then I would be content with leaving it. Perhaps it's just a fake of the actual icon put into the trade window, and not of the icon itself. -- Brains12 \ talk 02:43, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

yeah, i also thought of that. It is either a nicely resized image, or he was also able to extract a 64x64px icon and simply copy-pasted it into the trade screenshot. —ZerphaThe Improver 02:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Either way, it serves its purpose on the article ^^ -- Brains12 \ talk 02:51, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

That it does lol, but I still wonder if it is not a fake... hmmm King Bazaah 13:17, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Not stackable items -> non-stackable items

You once told me that you'd prefer the old category name again. You posted your proposal there and meant you will wait a bit longer. In case you forgot about that again, i think you waited long enough now and can change the category name back if you want. :P —ZerphaThe Improver 17:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Well the rest of the people involved in the discussion preferred "not stackable", so I think I'll bump it instead of deciding against them :) -- Brains12 \ talk 17:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

"Non-stackable" is the proper form. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 17:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Layout

I've been trying to get your user info layout to work for me, but the way wiki works with HTML is so ... weird I cant figure anything out!! Arg. How do i change the color of the backgrounds and all the test you wrote??? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MechanicalMedusa (talk • contribs) at 18:45, 31 May 2008 (UTC).

Hey there. Well you first need a little knowledge in how wikicode works, including templates, so I suggest you read Help:Editing and go to some of the links at the bottom of that page too.

My table code comes from User:Brains12/Table - you could copy that to User:MechanicalMedusa/Table and then change the code to suit your needs. The text that I wrote comes from User:Brains12/Userpage2; however, the code there is a little more confusing, and it's pretty redundant as well - what you could do is this: on my main page, User:Brains12, you'll see |main text={{User:Brains12/Userpage2|main text}}. To add in text for yourself on your own main userpage, just replace the {{User:Brains12/Userpage2|main text}} code with whatever you want it to say. So, for example, |main text=Hi, hello..

This might be a little confusing, so I would suggest either taking time to learn the various wiki code or experimenting on your own page. -- Brains12 \ talk 20:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of which, think you could fix this thing here? →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 21:00, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, it was a conflict of unnamed parameters that was the problem (I think). I fixed it at User:Brains12/Sandbox/PvX, so just copy that code into your PvX template and it should work -- just a note though, the parameters for the professions, attributes and attribute values are now named, so you would want to copy the usage notes too. You can see both templates in action at User:Brains12/Sandbox -- yours is the Stuff 1, mine is the Stuff 2. :) -- Brains12 \ talk 21:30, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. I've also been looking for how to do those navigation strips... do you know what im talking about?

Omg brains, I suck. Could you make a couple more fixes to the Template?

• I need the extra "If you want solid, the border becomes solid" thing removed.
• A bar that goes across, on the bottom of the skill bar, for Template Code.
• Another bar under that for the Equipment code.
• Also, they must be optional.
• And.. uhh. That's about it.

That would be a great help. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 01:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what you mean for the first bullet, and it's a little late for me to be looking through all that code (3.40 am :P), so I didn't do that. I added the extra bars, but they don't quite work when I put the optional thingy around it... I might give it another try tomorrow or perhaps Y0 can fix it - he's more experienced with user templates and stuff like this :P. Sorry -- Brains12 \ talk 02:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey no problem, at least you did a couple of things. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 02:49, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Userpage

Hey, just curious if you remember where in GW you took the screenshot for your monk.. I only know of a couple places in game that have a waterfall, but none that I got that great of a picture from. I wanna find some nice background Images for my characters ^_^. |Foul Bane| 02:50, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

It's in the Tarnished Haven behind/near Kerrsh, if I remember correctly. I stumbled upon it by coincidence -- I was doing a few quests there, got bored and so I ran around the outpost (as you do) and I stood near the waterfall. Took a screenshot (again, because of boredom, and also because it looked nice :P). -- Brains12 \ talk 02:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

The paragon image was just outside House zu Heltzer - not as nice, though.. -- Brains12 \ talk 02:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok tyvm.. Side note: that sux it's in EOTN... I hate trying to progress through it ;-(. |Foul Bane| 02:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree. However, once you're through the major points, you get access to what are, in my opinion, some of the best looking areas in Guild Wars. Before EotN, Vabbi or Presearing were probably my favourite areas in terms of appearance, but anything in the Charr Homelands or the Tarnished Coast trumps it by far. -- Brains12 \ talk 03:02, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Eh...

Forgive my curiosity, but I'm just simply confused here. I just saw Raphs block listed here labled as "User Request". I remembered back to a time when another person (topic #4 on the contents list) asked for the same thing, and was denied. This is definitely not my place, and I probably shouldnt be asking.....but why the differences? Why was one accepted while the other declined? I'm sorry, I'm just really confused on this wiki these days... ~ Wandering Traveler 02:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

The personal opinions and preferences of admins differ -- I would personally not have a problem with user request blocking (but generally after taking yourself away has failed). I also don't like to counteract other sysops' actions unless absolutely necessary (I don't believe I've reverted one yet). In addition to this, Raph's actions recently have not been very favourable so this swayed my decision a little -- I wouldn't have blocked for those unfavourable reasons alone, but I guess it's win-win if he requests to be blocked as well. -- Brains12 \ talk 03:09, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Wantedpages / Bad Links / Bazaah

Hey, I was just reading where you said "Random redirects shouldn't be set up to appease the Wantedpages, the pages with those bad links on should be changed :)" over on talk:King Bazaah#Redirects, and I'm curious. I checked the links-to on "English" and "GMT" and they're linked from random guild infoboxes. Should anyone be going in there and unlinking these things or is that something that only the people relevant to those guilds should do? (I think there's a policy or general assumption against editing other people's user: pages too, right?)

Oh, one more thing, I was just looking at the mediawiki docs to see if there was any way to make a [[link]] that dosn't trace backlinks for example purposes? Though I suppose you can also use . . . Special:WhatLinksHere/GMT. Thanks! --Star Weaver 17:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Guild pages can be edited for general maintenance, as they are supposed to be for documentation and don't have the same "rules" as user pages do -- if one were to take out the English and GMT links, that would be fine.

I'm not quite sure what you mean for your second section though, so maybe someone else can answer that for you. Plenty of Recentchanges vultures around. -- Brains12 \ talk 18:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Should there be any order I go into? And if it's not too much, Calor, could you teach me a bit? I'm still new at the first two, and I need a bit more time with Wiki code. --People of Antioch 23:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I'd love too, but sadly, I'm going to a sort of family get-together this weekend, and won't be on the wiki until Monday. w3schools CSS tutorial and their HTML tutorial may help you a bit. As for wiki - screw it - just use HTML's div and span tags. Makes life a lot easier. Calor 00:29, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

"As for wiki - screw it - just use HTML's div and span tags." qft. If the wiki would now ignore line indents instead of making a pre out of it, it would be great.. poke | talk 00:53, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Archiving Talk Pages

I'm sure if you check recent changes you'll see my compleate misfortune at an attempt to archive my talk page. I archived everything to User:Primarch Horus/Archive1. Is that the right place to be putting it? Horus ~talk

The location you have it in there isn't wrong but normally talk page archives are kept in the user talk namespace, I can sort it out for you if you want :) --Kakarot 02:38, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I'd be very grateful. I'm getting very lost with all this! Horus ~talk

Delete, please

As I've all but left the wiki, you can delete the pages left over in my user namespace if you think it would save space. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Ebany Salmonderiel (talk).

You're leaving? :o If you want them deleted, I'll go ahead; it's not really a matter of saving space, but I guess if you're going, the pages may as well. Bye -- Brains12 \ talk 14:55, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Question:

Where does it show the number of contributions a user has made? Or do I have to go through the list and count them up? |Foul Bane| 01:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

you have to count unfortunately. -- Salome 02:19, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, Thanks. |Foul Bane| 02:27, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Poke made a javascript thingummy that counts the number of contributions sorted by namespace, but it only works for Firefox. See User:Poke/GWWT and scroll to the bottom. -- Brains12 \ talk 09:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Koolaide

Oh durn. Is there a way to get a non-copyright protected version of koolaide? Like a different site or if I drew it myself? Or is Mr koolaide copyrighted-Warior Kronos 15:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I would assume that he's copyrighted, so you probably couldn't get a version of him on the wiki. -- Brains12 \ talk 15:16, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

what guild advertizement

its a link to build and runs --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Azwildbill (talk).

First of all, that article was about a location, not about a quest or faction farming -- links, tips and walkthroughs should go on the quest page or the Fast faction farming page. Secondly, the link you added was a link to a guild/personal website, not a documentation website; generally, only those links should go on articles, and not personal webpages.

Also, you can sign your comments by adding ~~~~ at the end. -- Brains12 \ talk 19:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

This edit doesn't really belong there either -- as I said, it's a location article which includes a link to the faction farming article. Information about faction farming should go on the faction farming article, there's no need to include a link to various faction farming quests when the faction farming article has those links. That's the wonder of a wiki - you find one page, follow a link, find yourself with other links and you find out more -- it's not necessary to have that quest article linked unless you're linking it for the purpose to list quests available in that area. -- Brains12 \ talk 19:51, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Dispute

Brains I think that we are in dispute. We need to discuss on how to resolve our issue. As many people (and policy) have suggested I start here. Dominator Matrix 10:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

What about starting with what this is about? Because I can't think of situations atm :P poke | talk 10:39, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Well it started with me being reading [2]. Which got me to thinking you needed a Arb com even before discussing, and for no valid reason either. I think what got me 'set off' was the edit you made on my talk page here. I saw it as rather rude, but after time realized you where just being blunt..which is nothing much. I think what got me to think any of this was needed is my belief that sysops should be nice and calm all the time. We all know that can't always be... This is pretty much a conflict of power. I tend to have a short temper towards people with higher amounts of rights then me. (which lead to the rather rude reply I left). So lets talk this over before I start a blog here Dominator Matrix 10:50, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate talking to any user I may be in dispute with rather than skipping out three or four steps and going straight to arbitration, so I thank you for that. However, I don't see us in any dispute. My comment to your talk page was not intended to be rude, nor was it intended to be very blunt (a la Auron) -- I saw that you had edited a number of talk pages adding "==...==", which, as I said, may be misinterpreted later if someone else goes to that page without seeing that specific revision of yours. Also, editing other people's comments (e.g. correcting lots of typos on the same page), while it was with good intent, is still not generally accepted. If that came across as blunt, it's probably because I didn't throw in some flowery, I love you, let's go to the park and dance words; it's not necessary to do so either. Nor was my request based upon upon being a sysop -- make sure you understand that. Had I said "I'm gonna block you, delete your pages and protect every page you edit", that would have been as sysop; had I given you a warning, "don't do that or you may find yourself blocked", that would have been as a sysop. There is no conflict of power here, nor was I using my "higher amounts of rights" in that request. As to sysops being nice all the time.. well, I can understand where you're coming from, but as I said, my request was neither rude nor exasperated. I wouldn't see it as a requirement either, but more of a characteristic that some sysops may have (some sysops having that characteristic != every sysop requiring that characteristic). I'll post my thoughts on the arbitration on the relevant page. -- Brains12 \ talk 14:07, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure if putting my two cents in here about this is a good thing or a cardinal sin, but either way, here's my two cents. DM made all his edits in good faith, and everything was allowed by policy (AFAIK), although it was bordering violating the whole "don't edit other people's comments" thing. The same applies for the ellipsis headers. I also think Brains responded in good faith, but was simply a little... snappy. Either way, nobody's strictly in the wrong here, although both of you probably didn't make the smartest decisions. In the end, there's no need for any ArbComm, and the best both of you could do is forget about it all and start off with a clean slate. Calor 15:26, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Pretty much getting off on the wrong foot. Though this discussion has fully fixed our dispute. Thank you Brains for taking time for discussing this and apology accepted :). Plus it was foolish of me to just jump to arb com without discussing it with you just because you where a sysops. That was both unwarranted, and unneeded of me...and I apologize for that.
