GuildWiki:Community portal/Old Tasks


 * Go through the Outposts and finish the images and flavor text. Requested by Talrath Stormcrush 15:49, 22 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I think this is complete now. Added "getting there" and "quests" as well. Could somebody go through it before we remove this from the task list. kaarechr 11:56, 26 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Just went through them. Looks like this one is done. I'll leave it up for a few days, then move it somewhere else. --Talrath Stormcrush 12:27, 26 Aug 2005 (EST)

I don't think this exists yet, but let's make a Software & Technical Issues Page. Gravewit 15:10, 12 Oct 2005 (EST


 * Guys, you might want to check this security bulletin regarding MediaWiki: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14987 -- Serps 08:55, 5 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * So, in a more task-ish format, we should upgrade to Version 1.4.9 or greater as soon as possible. &mdash;Tanaric 09:02, 5 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Indeed. This version is currently vulnerable. -- Serps 09:22, 5 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Oh good, I want to use or whatever it is *memory blank* Skuld &Dagger; 00:05, 6 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Main Page should have a link to Armor Types instead of Armor Descriptions


 * Should we split the images up into sub categories like armour and monsters? It's a bit of a mess --212.158.245.101 09:06, 14 December 2005 (UTC)


 * What would be very helpful is a list of elite skills sorted by profession with the areas they can be capped at listed below them.
 * Also an article on farming the lost strongbox and frozen chest.


 * Done (again, stupid crash). --Rainith 00:32, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Task: Gather skill data for the Assassin and the Ritualist

 * Gather skill descriptions for the Assassin skills.
 * Convert the Ritualist skill description image to actual text (maybe run it through OCR software? :-) (Ritualist Skills Quick Reference)

I'm currently doing the progression tables for the Ritualist. I already have the Assassin ones complete but I don't know where/how to upload it (apparently the Upload file feature expects media only). Can anyone tell me where to put it? -- Soul of Magma 12:23, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Update: Ritualist tables complete; just tell me where to put them... -- Soul of Magma 07:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Update: I decided that User:Soul of Magma/Ritualist Skill Progression Tables would be a good place. This task can probably be removed now. -- Soul of Magma 15:00, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Fill In Armor Crafter articles
Fill in which armor sets each Category:Armor Crafters craft. Most of them are fairly empty, even though the info is already on individual Armor pages, so no need to do in-game checks with characters. -PanSola 08:26, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Done to the best i can, might want to check it again. -Delarosa 05:47, 1 February 2006 (PST)

Task: Profession Combinations
Status: Only Mesmer Warrior still needs to be created. However some articles need a good look from an expert of that combination. --Xeeron 20:38, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Review Profession Combinations:
 * Create the missing articles
 * Clean up the articles that are sub-par
 * Link them from the individual profession page

Task:Update PvP Department

 * We are rather weak in the PvP department. We need an experienced PvP player (that rules ME out ;)) to add detailed information about all the arenas, GvG battles, guild halls, the HoH fights, fame, rank, etc ... --Tetris L 16:42, 25 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Very much on this. However I could use some help from people with indept knowledge about the lastest GvG builds. Since I am also weak in the get pictures and upload them department, anyone spending the time to produce pictures for the new articles will be more than welcome. --Xeeron 02:25, 24 Sep 2005 (EST)

Task: Remove old peer review templates
Have a look at Category:Requests for peer review, go to each article listed there and remove    --Xeeron 23:12, 10 February 2006 (CST)
 * Done --Epinephrine 03:28, 16 February 2006 (CST)

Task:Namespace
Status: Done(?)
 * Put something on the GuildWiki namespace links that are on editing pages, protected pages etc. by default Protected_page Copyrights  General disclaimer --195.137.4.228 06:13, 25 Sep 2005 (EST) &Dagger;
 * Also Searching which appears in search results. --Rezyk 07:49, 6 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * I put something in that a while ago, but it needs real material Skuld &Dagger; 07:41, 30 October 2005 (EST)
 * The three links above now have stuff, thou someone who has better wiki/legal knowledge might want to look them over. Post anything else that needs to be filled in, or I will consider this task done with and move it into old tasks. -PanSola 21:40, 14 March 2006 (CST)

Task: Correct equipment and skill descriptions
The recent update changes many skill and equipment descriptions. The new weapon descriptions alone will present a formidable crusade opportunity.

--Xeeron 05:30, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Find new descriptions in the game
 * Change the description on the wiki
 * I assume if this task is still not done, it's not crusadable, and will merely fall under "if something on the wiki is wrong, fix it", so it's safe to move into old tasks. Objections? -PanSola 17:23, 15 March 2006 (CST)
 * I just did go through and change a whole lot of the item descriptions to fit the new system. However, there are still a few references to the old system that need to be mopped up. --adeyke 08:27, 16 March 2006 (CST)

Task: Item value
Remove most of the value sections from armour, weapons and the like. Can be left in for ID kits and the like I think, or they could use a seperate template when we're done.

Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Item value entry


 * This is done now, I believe. I've manually checked most of the pages the bot touched, and there were no significant breaks. The Ritualist and Assassin armor pages have an extra-large pink area, but once the pictures are added they will go away. If you noticed anything odd, let me know. &mdash; Stabber 01:09, 21 March 2006 (CST)
 * Wheee great job! :D 04:57, 21 March 2006 (CST)

Task:Complete Weapons List/Articles

 * Complete weapons list and articles, with lots of nice images. --Tetris L 18:59, 1 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * If there are no objections, I'm going to move this to Old Tasks. Any article need image have an entry added to the image request section.  Right now I don't even know what *is* incomplete / still needs to be done with this task. -SolaPan 03:01, 23 March 2006 (CST)

Task: Weapon + Armor Images
There's all down there in "Wanted Images" but I think they've been forgotten. We're missing quite a lot of armor images; we have most of the female sets, but a lot of the male sets have nothing. Furthermore, I'm all for component views, but let's move those to armor sub-pages so you're not loading megs and megs just to check crafting requirements; I know at least one of the mesmer armors has this, I'm going to tweak it now as an example. --Nunix 18:38, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Update: Eohjay has given permission for GuildWiki to use whatever weapon, armor, and focus images we need, with the provision that we don't edit them, and tag them with a proper credit (actually I think the credit bit is just my addition, but it's a right and proper thing to do anyway). So if anything's missing, or wrong, or just a bad image and he's got a better one, feel free to use those. --Nunix 22:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Task: Redo How_to_help
Status: Took Category:Helping Out to go along with the page. More help still welcome It looks like we will soon implement Bareks draft for the main page. This draft includes only one link in the Helping out on this Wiki section. That calls for a comprehensive How to help portal, instead of the skeleton currently there: --Xeeron 05:35, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Discuss how such a portal should look like/what it should include on GuildWiki_Talk:How_to_help
 * Rewrite How_to_help to a helping out portal site
