User talk:William Blackstaff

Can someone explain to me how to get rid of the 'You have New Messages' bar that comes up everytime I come to the site even though I have no new messages (unless I totally don't understand the new messages thing. Currently it's my belief that the New Message (uhh) message refers to additions to my user Talk page). Is it becuase I don't actually log out of the Guildwiki site?


 * You have the right idea, and you shouldn't have to log out. I don't know why you still get it, but someone else had the same problem and I think it was solved when he removed the talk page from his watchlist. --Rezyk 12:59, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Keys
I wanted to get your attention before you did a bunch of work on this. First I would suggest you wait a bit to see what other people think (at least a day).

Then if you do decide to do this, please structure the key page similar to the Vial of Dye page. Obviously you can leave out the mixing part, but give a list w/pictures and a usage section. Also I would suggest you make the individual key pages into redirects instead of just killing them altogether. --Rainith 13:39, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I was planning out the changes I was going to sumbit but on closer inspection of the Key article there really isn't anything else to add. Keys simply aren't that complex. All the changes I was going to make short of the redirects (and perhaps the images) are already on that article. Since I have no idea how to do redirects (heh me so noobish) there arn't going to be any more changes until I figure out how. In any case I'll listen to your advice and wait for a day or so--William Blackstaff 13:47, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Chests
I see you have started on chests.. Try and do the table like the one I did for Keys. simply replace the image names and item names and remove the prices. Thanks. --Karlos 11:03, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Will do.--William Blackstaff 11:08, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Categories with names of Places
These categories are aimed to enumerate all characters in a location. We don't really do it for towns and outposts because it's pointless, the town has a list of all NPCs in it. But please do not removed categorizations such as "Ettin's Back" and "Fissure of Woe" from monster pages. :) --Karlos 06:35, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't worry Karlos, I wasn't going to removed any categories for areas (such as Deldrimor Bowl) just outposts and towns as it seems pointless as we have entries for those (as you pointed out)--William Blackstaff 07:00, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

collector armor "completion"
Thanks for the good (and tedious and boring... which is why I didn't do it myself for all 6 professions d-:) work. BTW, I think you left out Pre-Searing and Ascalon for the Elementalist's Armor (I know headgears aren't offered in general prior to Shiverpeaks) q-: -PanSola 16:43, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops sorry was doing it rather late at night (my time), I'll get onto it.--William Blackstaff 16:46, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

 * ARRGH!!! I have to update all the tables again! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! oh well i suppose it'll give me a chance to double check everything...(grumble grumble)

Petition to remove collector from the collector armor articles' tables
I find the view at Stylish Armor much more pleasant/compact/concise than Elementalist's Armor.

When people see the name of a collector, MOST of the time they won't know where that collector is, and will have to click on a link to figure out. The article of the Collectables already INCLUDE the relavent collector information, so you aren't saving users number of clicks to get to their information, not to mention when multiple collectors deal with the collectable, the armor charts always appear first.

So all I see with the addition of collector info is unnecessary clutter )-: -PanSola 08:41, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Hmm well I see your point that's it's clearer and if you want you can revert the changes, I only though that some poeple might find it easier. Revert the changes if you feel it's too much I don't mind. --William Blackstaff 09:03, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
