Linking
Taking QZ for an example: By typing Quickening Zephyr you'd do thesame as with Quickening Zephyr. Talking about the Anomaly on GoSac :P When linking, spaces are the same as underscores --- -- (s)talkpage 17:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Quickening Zephyr..ah, so it does, Its just i've had problems making internal links to skills with spaces in their names before (probably due to the strange capitalisation rules and/or my clumsy typing) so i started instinctively doing it that way to avoid me spending ages correcting my broken links after hitting show preview only to get into an edit conflict because i took so long doing that...then correcting links again ad infinitum. Anyway i think i get it now, thanks for explaining :-) --<font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green">Talk</B>  17:48, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You're welcome :) The Wiki linking system requires exact CApiTAliZAtiON for a link to work. That is a problem when I link from time to time. I usually press shift, spacebar, release shift and then start the word. Bad hand-eye coordination and terrible timing ^^' --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 17:54, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Mind if I 'borrow' the new update userbox? Lord of the Yoshis 06:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, clicking show preview should show you what it'll look like. you just have to clear your cache afterwards. &mdash; Warw/Wick 18:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Er, won't that cause the show preview page to expire?--<font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green">Talk</B>  18:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Your preview page expires? Odd.. *Stalks off to investigate*. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 18:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Nvm it dosen't anymore its just my ISP being tempermental again. Anyway, by chance i managed to hit the perfect page width on my second try so i wont be clogging RC after all--<font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green">Talk</B>  18:40, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Question
Do you know if we are allowed to submit copyrighted content with permissionon GuildWiki, I cannot find the copyright policy :P -- Shadowphoenix  16:22, 4 April 2008 (UTC)


 * "content with permissionon GuildWiki" sorry your typo made that rather confusing, do you mean permission of guildwiki or permission on Guild wiki. I will assume your referring to copy and pasting some text from somewhere else onto this wiki. Tbh im really not the best person to ask, try someone who understands copyright bueraucracy such as User:Randomtime or User:Entropy. However, as far as my knowledge of this wiki and copyright extends, if its under the creative commons (CC) license or (i think) the GDFL, then if you have permission of the copyright holder (probably the creator) then it should be ok. That said, i wouldn't take my word on this, maybe try the ask a question link on the left above the search box and post on that page if you need a quick answer--<font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green"><B>Talk</B>  16:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind...
I fixed your page a bit. Thoughtful 12:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I know, was just going to post on your talkpage. Ty anyway, My html skills are somewhat limited when it comes to show/hide boxes and tables. I wonder if you could tell me why the show/hide thing dosent work properly if i set it to hide by default (it says hide when its already hidden, then you have to click hide to be able to see show ;/). The code was stolen appropriated  aquired  borrowed inspired by someone elses userpage so maybe they just fail--<B><font color="Blue">Cobalt  </B>| <font color="Green"><B>Talk</B>  12:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not good with show-hide boxes, but I'll look at it. [[Image:Thoughtful-new-sig.jpg]] Thoughtful 12:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I figured out how to get it so that it's not empty the first time it says hide, but I can't get it to be normal hide by default. [[Image:Thoughtful-new-sig.jpg]] Thoughtful 12:56, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Youd need 2 or more S/H boxes to make em hide by default. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 12:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm, that's an odd system, but ok, thanks for the info :)--<B><font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green"><B>Talk</B>  20:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I wonder
Is it possible to have a poll on a talkpage Yes No Maybe --<B><font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green"><B>Talk</B>  18:56, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the Official Wiki
Your commentary here on the creation of the Official Wiki by Anet needs some facts. The Official wiki was created not to dismiss or disrespect this wiki, but because of a licensing conflict that made it impossible for Anet to integrate it into the game through the F11 menu. The copyright license that this wiki was created under does not allow for commercial application, GFDL does. It's as simple as that. The issue of this wiki being taken over by Wikia is what caused the mass migration of editors from this wiki to that one. As for the Official wiki simply copying this one, it's more the fact that so many of the editors that created this wiki moved and took their style, and content with them. This is NOT a competition between the two, we complement each other. This wiki has better historical documentation of the game, GWW is a bit more up to date. --Wynthyst 15:16, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
