language
Hi, just wanna ask if we can freely add shortcut on page to the translate page in other language ? Is there spécifics rules or policy for that kind of link ? --Elenna 06:19, 8 July 2006 (CDT)
 * I'm not quite sure that I know what you mean. Currently GuildWiki is only available here in English.  There are French and German wikis for Guild Wars that are not affiliated with GuildWiki, and are not linked to from this site.  Also PanSola is/was working on a Chinese (I think it was Chinese) version that would be affiliated with GuildWiki and linked to on this site much like the different language pages are linked on Wikipedia, but I don't know the status of that.  If this doesn't answer your question, feel free to post an example of what you're talking about here on my talk page.  --Rainith 14:29, 8 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Well for the french GW i can said that Gravewit didn't respond at mail, so they made it by their own. But i think that mostly 40% of the site is translated directly from here. But for the shortcut it's just an external link to add at bottom of the page, something like this :

 * MediaWiki already has an "interlanguage link" feature. Go to an article on Wikipedia like Language and look at the navbar on the left.  If GWiki decides to link to the French or German wikis, it should be done using that MW feature.  --68.142.14.86 17:35, 8 July 2006 (CDT)

protection
not sure if it's gonna do much good since it doesn't seem to be a bot tarting a fixed page, the kid will just move on to a diff page. I'd rather have him focused on one single page so it's easier to spot ^^" - 00:08, 29 June 2006 (CDT)
 * He's pretty easy to spot with the summary he puts, plus that page was the one he hit the last, what, 3 times? Give it a chance, see how it plays out.  --Rainith 00:12, 29 June 2006 (CDT)
 * you have a point there. ^^" - 00:13, 29 June 2006 (CDT)

Test check
Did you receive my email? -Gares 15:07, 29 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Yup, and I responded. Didn't you get the message?  If not check to see if your email filters out mail from gmail accounts (I thought I heard something about MSN and Hotmail doing that a while back).  Back to work, ping me in game if you see me and we can chat more.  --Rainith 15:11, 29 June 2006 (CDT)

G is for Gold..
Hey, I noticed that you removed the and turned it back into Gold. I was just wondering why. I don't care if it's one or the other, but I thought we were transitioning into using that thing. I am oblivious as to where that discussion stood and what decisions if any were taken. So, I am trying to catch up here. Did we decide not to use the G and the P? --Karlos 12:51, 30 June 2006 (CDT)


 * There was a discussion about it, somewhere, within the last month or so. Damned if I know where, but it was decided that in tables and whatnot to use, but in text descriptions to use Gold/gold.  That is the only reason that I changed those, I'm more of a fan of using the  in the quest reward section, but hey, either way.  --Rainith 14:22, 30 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Darn. My first time using that thing too. Oh well. :) --Karlos 08:31, 1 July 2006 (CDT)

Zchlemick
Exactly 10 minutes later his campaign is all cleaned up. Admin power! :p &mdash; Skuld  16:37, 30 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Ha. I'm glad that you were on too, I was just getting ready to leave work when I checked and saw that.  I wouldn't have had time to fix it all myself.  --Rainith 18:33, 30 June 2006 (CDT)

deleting stuff
On Criteria for deletion is say if an admin tags something (presumably something that isn't obvious vandalism etc.) for deletion, they shouldn't delete it themselves. Well PPBAoEEDDoT has got to go but as you've already added the del tag so I guess you can't delete it yourself. I don't know what the best way to get around this is if there's only one admin online, I could remove then readd the del tag but that seems a bit roundabout. Perhaps if a user (ie non admin like me) just added to the delete reason to indicate their agreement on the +del, would that be ok? Can you think of something better? --Xasxas256 19:05, 2 July 2006 (CDT)
 * As long as someone else agrees with the deletion, I have no problem wiping it out (people have complained before that I don't follow the rules for deletes, let them complain again). The only think that stopped me from deleting it in the first place was that I thought there was a small chance that it was an actual used term.  I generally solo or go w/hench and don't PvP so I don't always keep up on the terms people use.  --Rainith 19:15, 2 July 2006 (CDT)
 * So if say you add then I went on and changed it to  and made the Summary:+del (I agree with Rainith). Would that be ok for you to delete it then? It just seemed dumb to me that if I'd seen it just a few seconds earlier, I would have added the +del and you would have deleted it but instead I saw it just after you add the +del so instead this pointless article sits around while we wait for another admin to come online. --Xasxas256 19:37, 2 July 2006 (CDT)
 * To me, your posting on the article's talk page an agreement with deletion would seem to satisfy the requirement. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:52, 2 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Problem with that is that you've added another article to delete! --Xasxas256 19:58, 2 July 2006 (CDT)

Jeez
Hey sorry, I was just kidding, but now I hate myself so im not ever going on my Guildwiki account ever again &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Skinny Boy (talk &bull; contribs).
 * So be it. And apparently you don't read either (the note about keeping conversations together).  --Rainith 23:55, 2 July 2006 (CDT)

Space
You mention on Xasxas's talk page that the thought of running out of space was disturbing. Gravewit said the problem was caused by 91 gigs of logs due to the files not rotating, so the issue was never how much space the wiki data was taking up. --68.142.14.34 23:52, 3 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Oh I forgot to mention that, yeah it's on the gamewikis blog, I think from memory he said one impressive 90GB file was created. --Xasxas256 23:54, 3 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Ah, I rarely check the blog as that's about how often it is updated. Rarely.  (I know, I am too droll.)  That is good to know.  Upload away then.  :P  --Rainith 23:56, 3 July 2006 (CDT)
 * If only you could add it to your watchlist...well we have a page for game updates and for guildwars.com news, I wonder if my name space needs a section for Gamewiki blog updates? I guess it probably doesn't. --Xasxas256 23:59, 3 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Or maybe Gravewit could just use the wiki to post wiki news. --68.142.14.34 00:08, 4 July 2006 (CDT)
 * I think he generally posts things related to the GuildWiki on the GuildWiki and anything relating to the server/Gamewikis goes onto the Gamewiki blog, it works ok for me, although like Rainith I don't check the blog very often. --Xasxas256 00:43, 4 July 2006 (CDT)
