Good work with the rare material stubs :) 21:30, 7 Jul 2005 (EST)

Hey Uigrad, I see what you are trying to do with the armor templates, but bear in mind that since armor is a kind of item, the details should be included inside an item table. This might sound odd, but take a look at Foehammer for example. The same should apply to armor. Just so you know :) 05:26, 8 Jul 2005 (EST)

LordBiro, Thanks for the encouragement and help. Do you get notification if I reply to your messages here? I just made a table for armor, along with all the same type of templates that we have other places. Does it look right? I have it working on Armor:Aeromancer_Armor, for an example. I could use some help knowing what stuff should go in the table. What is your suggestion?

Ok, I just read your message a little more closely. I'll try to use the item templates. Is there a way to add your user information after your post automatically, or do I have to do it manually like this: 14:40, 7 Jul 2005 (CST)

Good stuff Uigrad :) As for signatures, if you go preferences you can change your signature to whatever you like, mine looks like this which points to User:LordBiro/Sig, a page I made that contains my signature.  05:44, 8 Jul 2005 (EST)

Ok, I set up Armor:Geomancer_Armor as an item stub. If you think it looks good, I'll use that format for the rest of the armors. 14:56 CST, 7 Jul 2005

I think Biro meant your stats section needs to go into the table/template. --Fyren 06:09, 8 Jul 2005 (EST)

Ah, well, I don't really think the stats will all fit in the little floating table. It's important to know what armor is available in which city, so that you can decide when to buy it. That's a lot of information, especially for the headgear. Armor:Elemental_Headgear is the style of table I'm planning to use (at least for now). --Uigrad 06:32, 8 Jul 2005 (EST)

Well yeah, there is no standard set (although the color should be #f99 i think, as stated in Style & Formatting), but as much information as is useful should go in the template. The user has to be able to see the important information at a glance in a predictable place, but not be overwhelmed by unwanted info. The exact details can be discussed at GuildWiki talk:Style & Formatting/Armor 09:45, 8 Jul 2005 (EST)

Where are you getting those great looking armor screenshots? LordKestrel 12:25, 9 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * Looks like the PvP character builder. --Fyren 14:49, 9 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * Thanks, I've never done a PvP character, so I didn't recognize it. LordKestrel 14:53, 9 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * Fyren is right. Those are from the character creation screens for PvP.  (I actually had to delete one of my 4 characters, just so I could capture those shots!)  Unfortunately, that's all of them.  Some of even the most basic armor choices aren't available to PvP players, so we'll have to capture those from ingame.  I just wish there was more than 5 people in my guild :)  16:17, 9 Jul 2005 (EST)
