General
 * 1) For those that are curious, Gravewit owns the site and I suppose you could call Nunix his right hand man. You can look up the rest of the admins here.
 * 2) http://www.gamewikis.org/blog/ is used to discuss some GuildWiki aspects.
 * 3) User questions can is used as a Question/Answer forum.
 * 4) Try to be nice to the other members here, you won't agree with everything everyone says but try to argue a point objectively without making it personal.
 * Category:Votes shows any issues currently being voted upon by the GuildWiki community

Editing Help
 * 1) Read this if you haven't already, Lunarbunny's Grammar Guide!
 * 2) The editing help page is quite useful (a link to it appears each time you go to edit a page). How to help is also a good starting place.
 * 3) There's more editing help here, here and here.
 * 4) Please don't wikify links (putting  around a word)  multiple times throughout an article. Wikifying the first occurrence is almost always sufficient.
 * 5) Don't post the market price of an item, we don't do that here. The merchant's price is ok but not what people are trading an item for.
 * 6) Create an account, it's easier to keep track of your edits, allows people to discuss things with you and gives your edits more authority.
 * 7) Don't write questions on an article, use its talk page to ask questions related to the article.
 * 8) When editing a page, try to make your summary comment short and relevent, it helps out those who are watching the Recent changes
 * 9) If you upload an image, don't use the BMP format, use GIF, PNG or JPEG but don't reduce the quality on JPEGs too much.
 * 10) You can and often should add pages you edit to your watchlist (use the Watch tab up the top).
 * 11) Sign your Talk page edits with ~, don't sign your article edits though!
 * 12) We only capitalise the first word of articles, unless it's a proper noun. E.g. Purple item has a lowercase "i" but Titan Quest has both the "T" and "Q" capitalised.
 * 13) Keep spelling standard across an article, don't use both Commonwealth and American English  spelling the same article. In the sentence above I've written "capitalise" so I'd now write standardised instead of standardized to keep it standardised.
 * 14) You can create test pages off your user page, E.g. User:Xasxas256/Secondary Profession Guide or you can use the Sandbox.
 * 15) Before you jump in and create an article you should see if there is an existing style guide. This makes life much easier and keeps everything standard.

Maintenance Help

If you find an article has been vandalised, go to the history of the article (it's a tab up the top), find the most recent unvandalised revision, select it, go to edit, copy the text out then open up the article again and save the old copy. The easiest way to detect vandalism is to keep track of the Recent Changes and use the "(diff)" link to see what's been changed. To request a ban on a user who's been vandalising the GuildWiki, go to their User Page and add the following

If you can see an article that you think should be deleted, you can flag this using on the articles page. If it's obvious, that may be sufficient, if you think other users may object you should explain your reason for wanting the article deleted on its talk page.

There are quite a few other flags we use, see here for a complete list.

User/Talk Pages

You user page is a place to put some information about you and your Guild Wars characters. It is your own page so you can largely do what you like with it within reason. If you use another user's user page as inspiration, please declare this on your user page. Many of us work hard on the design of our user pages so give credit where it's due. If a user has requested that you don't copy a part of their user page, please respect that. You talk page is where others can leave a note for you, questions, comments etc. and you can do the same on the talk pages of other users.

Curios
My bow type flow chart can be used by anyone to find out which of the standard 5 bow types a bow is.

Notes about self
I'm male, from Australia and I don't like seeing things links being wikified 10 000 times in the same article. Articles should never had more blue underlined text than black text!

Notes to self
Remember your time may not be CDT, the time you see in the History may be different

Very untidy Builds page

Notes to the reader
Now that we've got an image for Guardsman Zingpah (even if it has the green circle and his name) I'm not sure I have any extra notes. Ok here's the Aussie word for the week: Cactus. Slang meaning stuffed, broken, worn out. Example Usage: "Did you fix my printer?" "Nah sorry mate we'll have to buy a new one, the old one's cactus."
