GuildWiki talk:Community portal/Archive 17

Domain Name
What are the current thoughts on the domain? guildwiki.org, guildwars.gamewiki.org, etc. Gravewit - gamewiki would be great! Adam

Personally I'd prefer guildwiki.org, since that's what this site is called and that's what people will type in if they try and find it. Well, I would anyway. TBH I'm quite happy with the domain as it is for the moment. Zerolives.org/guildwars isn't hard to remember :) - LordBiro/Talk 21:04, 21 May 2005 (EST)

I'd like to keep the actual doman ambigious, (gamewiki.org is taken by some guy who isn't using it. Sad! It expires in September. gamewiki.net is open, though.), so that in the future we can branch out. I know Rood and I have played just about every MMO that's launched in the last 5 years or so. But in the short-frame it might be nice to just use guildwiki.org or something more specific. Gravewit

my minor vote is for guildwiki.org -- it's short, easy to remember, and can be communicated and remembered easily in-game if you tell a friend about it. It's also more intuitive, being the name of the site and all =) --Arc 05:33, 25 May 2005 (EST)

Nothing stopping guildwiki.org redirecting to guildwars.gamewiki.org, funds permitting. That's the ideal solution, I think. Jon.

I agree with Jon. There needs to be room to expand - Mister Walrus

Just read that the domain situation is solved therefore i deleted my post - Newty

This page really isn't serving as a community portal
The title of this page is "Community Portal," yet all it has is our URL on it. Maybe some links to other fansites, guildwars.com, etc.? &mdash;Tanaric 20:44, 2 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * That's actually a good idea. kaarechr 20:46, 2 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * You say that as if my ideas are usually horrible (don't respond to that ;)). In any case, this is something I cannot help with, as my workplace has WebSense installed, and I cannot access, say, the guildwars.com fansite listings or any of the fansites themselves.  And I refuse to do any serious wikiwork on my own time when I can be paid for it instead. :) &mdash;Tanaric 20:48, 2 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * One of the problems I see in this though is what the criteria for sites should be? There are alot of GW sites out there with varying content. And do we link to guild pages as well? One option could be to create a set of rules that the induvidual sites should comply to in order to be included (much like on guildwars.com) and a set of categories. But I don't know if this is overkill.
