GuildWiki:User questions

This page is for GuildWiki users to ask questions in case there's no obvious relevant talk page to ask on. To do this, click edit, then follow the directions at the bottom of the text box.


 * You considered taking strategy/PVP-build articles anywhere? Maybe off the main page? - Fennec 08:20, 25 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Maybe we can have a category called User Submitted Builds or something like that? --Thundergrace 13:29, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I really dislike discussing strategy here so we don't get articles like that, don't get into arguments about builds, and don't get utterly subjective. --Fyren 18:15, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Does anyone know why some pictures work in the preview but not when the page is saved? For example, Tanzit Razorstone's page doesn't display the picture I uploaded, but if you click edit, then preview, the picture displays correctly. --Caspian 12:34, 13 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I would guess it's a browser issue, since that image displays for me (and Morgriff's also does), but the image on Artemis the Ranger doesn't (for me). Anyone else have any ideas?  --Fyren 02:48, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I think it is a browser issue, because all 3 of those above mentioned images display for me. It seems if you save the page before uploading the image, the issue will sometimes occur. The images should display for you if the articles are changed. --Thundergrace 07:41, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * For Artemis, I was neither the author nor the image uploader. I mentioned on the talk page for the article that the HTML is fine and references the a thumbnail that exists.  --Fyren 08:02, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Yes, I think it's an issue with the cache in Firefox. I flushed mine and the images worked fine.  Thanks.  Caspian.


 * Anybody found a way to create image links in Wiki, i.e. when you click an image you're not sent to the image page, but to some other (specified) page? --Tetris L 16:44, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Well... I read the documentation and it seems all you can do is make the image page a redirect. It's a pretty poor solution, but it seems to be the only one.  The problem is that you get the usual "redirected from" message at the top AND you get the image after it (full sized).  See User:Fyren/Test for an example.  The image redirects to User:Fyren.  --Fyren 18:15, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Note: Discussion about Skill Trainer changes moved to Talk:Trainer locations. --Tetris L 23:32, 19 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * By the way, would it be possible to make a companion forum for this site to discuss things? I am so incredibly lost when I look around to try to see where I go to discuss something.  There are these Talk pages, but they seem to be hidden.  Like the Skills Trainer.  There's that table, the regular list, each list, they're being reworked with modules, etc.  Each and every page there has a discussion list plus there appear to be some main discussion pages too.  It would be great if all of the many many different chats going on at once could be put into a normal forum where they're easy to see, read and respond to. -- Banaticus
 * Like was said on http://guildwiki.org/guildwars/index.php/GuildWiki:Community_Portal "I've made the change, but since this topic relates to the Main Page directly it should be discussed on Talk:Main Page :)" -- the Recent Changes page doesn't do anywhere near as good of a job as a forum would do in discussing issues.


 * Hi there. Would you be ok or interested by a franch translation of this wiki? I'm sure it would be an huge work but anyway, maybe me and my mates would be intersted in doing this ? --Prof. Desty Nova 00:21, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Je parle francais un peu -- comme une vache espagnol. ;) -- Banaticus

 * Woot, correct french sentence though! ^^ Alright, I'll take care to respect these rules if I do so. Thanks --Prof. Desty Nova 20:32, 24 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I can't wait to see "Whuup Buumbuul" in French... "Le Whuup De Buum comme Buul" :D Je parle francais comme Alana Pekpek!! :) --Karlos 20:48, 24 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Hi guys, i got an idea about something i find to be missing in this wiki:
 * 1 -> There should be a section related to pvp/pve popular character builds
 * 2 -> There should be a section related to Weapons/offhands crafting locations and such
 * 3 -> There should be a section related to crafting materials (like deldrimor steel, etc..). --Fbatista 21:18, 23 Sep 2005 (GMT)


 * 3 -> Here: Crafting material
 * 2 -> Weapon crafting? Maybe try this: Collectors
 * 1 -> Try this: Category:Build stubs =) --Xeeron 07:06, 24 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * 2 -> about this one i was refering to things like a list of what the weapon crafters in each town can craft (like the long sword with max damage and 15% damage if health above 50% that you can craft in droknar's forge)


 * What's the difference between, http://guildwiki.org/guildwars/index.php/Category:Fissure_Armor which says, Category: Fissure Armor at the top and has links to each professions Fissure page, and this page, http://guildwiki.org/guildwars/index.php/Fissure_Armor which says, Category: Fissure Armor at the top of the page and doesn't have links to any Fissure Armor pictures? Perhaps the Fissure Armor page could redirect to Category: Fissure Armor?
 * If you check the top of the page for Fissure Armor you'll see that it already redirects to Category:Fissure Armor, the problem is that when you create redirects to categories, you loose the list of what is linked to that category. --Rainith 13:07, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * It is because of that that we decided not to use categories as the main articles. I have moved the content back to Fissure Armor and kept the category as just a list. --Karlos 14:55, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Any chance that we can get the list of the various fissure armors to display at the bottom of the Fissure Armor page? That way, people who search directly for "Fissure Armor" and go straight to the "Fissure Armor" page will be able to easily click a link to see what the various fissure armors look like.  As it stands now, if you actually want to see what the armors look like, you must navigate away from the Fissure Armor page to the Armor page where you can search around for the links on that long page and see what the fissure armors actually look like.  It was a 3-minute attempt to find the actual picture of the elementalist fissure armor that led me to find the Fissure Armor and Category: Fissure Armor pages in the first place. -- Banaticus
 * Seems pretty simple to me: Fissure Armor -> Category:Fissure Armor (link is on Fissure Armor page) -> Fissure Elemental Armor or Fissure Ranger Armor or Fissure Monk Armor, etc... why should that take anyone 3 minutes?  --Rainith 17:57, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * In the Fissure Armor article it says: For a list of all types of Fissure Armor, see: Category:Fissure Armor. --Karlos 18:30, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * A page listing all templates would be deeply appreciated, since I spend tons of time just searching for them whenever I do something for the first time. --Xeeron 08:15, 29 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Here.--Fyren 09:43, 29 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Thanks a ton. Is there a wiki link as well, or can you only reach that with a normal link? --Xeeron 09:56, 29 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I believe it is Special:Allpages then choose the namespace "Template" and hit "Go". --Karlos 11:07, 29 Sep 2005 (EST)
