Wastrel's Worry
you're comment on worry is a bit strange. a skill like reverse hex will end worry and remove the hex underneith. it's only use is as a psychological effect. was that the meaning you intended? --Honorable Sarah 22:28, 18 August 2006 (CDT)

Wastel's Worry
Yes, it applys psychological pressure on the player, causing them to react, be interupted, and possibly take damage if it is not removed. It's easy enough to recover if it is removed. I'll be sure to clarify this. --Vulpes Foxnik 01:26, 19 August 2006 (CDT)

sig icon
your sig icon is massive. it should fit into the regular formatting. 18px is usually about right. --Honorable Sarah 13:41, 26 August 2006 (CDT)

I am very sorry. I will get this done asap. I was looking for a way for the server to do it, but I'll fix it, none the less. -- User:Vulpes Foxnik 15:02, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
 * try [[image:bigpicture.jpg|18px]] although the automatic resizing method this wiki uses is very ugly. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 18:32, 26 August 2006 (CDT)

Continuing from Skuld's talk
is just the article name by itself, like you found out. So here it's. For the whole thing with the namespace (talk, template, user, etc.), use :.

The main namespace has no prefix. That's why you had to do with the colon in it to include a page from the main namespace before Skuld moved your stuff. But you probably didn't want to know all this, heh. --Fyren 14:24, 3 September 2006 (CDT)

Armour icons
How come you're uploading images of the inventory? See Monk Obsidian Armor for what that bit should be used for ^^ &mdash; Skuld 16:38, 3 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I was thinking of it as a Replacement for the inventory Icons Box for armors that have fuctions, but not art. Frankly, without them, the pages are ugly and the boxes are larger than they should be. I replaced them with what I thought would be an appropriate symbol for them not being able to Have a Icon. Many of the factions function sets do not have armor icons. I will stop for now until I recieve a reply.--[[Image:Vulpes_Foxnik.png]]Vulpes Foxnik 16:42, 3 September 2006 (CDT)

an issue with some of your armor edits
Krytan Armor is intrisically a core armor art, that is true. However, in the context of the Enchanter's armor, the Krytan armor art is ONLY available for the Factions Campaign, and not Prophecies Campaign. Your recent edit has made it such that it will appear that one can craft an Enchanter's armor using the Krytan art in any campaign, an untrue implication I find very problematic. I'm still digesting what your vision is in the rest of your essay. - 16:10, 6 September 2006 (CDT)

ordering
why are you going out of your way to move Luxons before Kurzicks? The two are parallel in the progress of the game, and alphabetically Kurzicks come before Luxons. - 04:03, 7 September 2006 (CDT)
 * This is in reference to your edit in Mesmer armor btw. - 04:05, 7 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I don't recall doing that and I don't know why I would do that. I think maybe sleep deprivation got to me last night... I will fix it.--[[Image:Vulpes_Foxnik.png]]Vulpes Foxnik 11:38, 7 September 2006 (CDT)
 * OH! I see what's wrong, The lables are misnumbered still!--[[Image:Vulpes_Foxnik.png]]Vulpes Foxnik 11:42, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

Template whitespace
Whitespace in templates can be important in that too much can actually break things. sections shouldn't be on their own lines (like you changed in SimpleIcon). They need to either begin or end on the same line as template code to avoid sometimes inserting a newline unexpectedly when the template is included. Also, the whitespace you added to make the PF #if more readable also meant you inserted whitespace before the icon. So if someone did texttext they'd actually get "text ICONtext". --Fyren 18:01, 9 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I had no Idea. I was trying to make readable code. I'm used to programing for Teachers.--[[Image:Vulpes_Foxnik.png]]Vulpes Foxnik 18:48, 9 September 2006 (CDT)
 * So what should I do? Go back and remove the white spaces? Or would that overload the server?--[[Image:Vulpes_Foxnik.png]]Vulpes Foxnik 18:50, 9 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I edited SimpleIcon after you, so just keep it in mind for future edits. --Fyren 19:00, 9 September 2006 (CDT)

Test of my post template.

 * Do not use that. That's more disruptive than anything.  --Fyren 19:58, 9 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Sorry.--[[Image:Vulpes_Foxnik.png]]Vulpes Foxnik 19:59, 9 September 2006 (CDT)

Armor pages, cleanup
Just a question on your massive cleanuptagging of the armor pages.. I see that you're right in alot of cases, the descriptions are not updated at all and vice versa. But, for example Necromancer Headgear, it's not obvious at least for me what really needs to be cleaned up. And the "Style and formatting" or "How to help" do not tell me what is wrong in this case. I just want to know what you find bad about these pages, so I can help clean them up =) ― Stylva 02:49, 10 September 2006 (CDT)

Ditto Stylva. Please don't slap on the cleanup tag simply because you wish to perform some work on it due to it not meeting personal expectations. It'd greatly clarify things if you can specify why you are adding the cleanup tag. See Template:Cleanup for documentation. - 09:10, 10 September 2006 (CDT)

Well in the necromancer headgear section, It looks nothing like the Mesmer Headgear section. It also doesn't invoke the "Armor Function table" like it should. Not that it looks horrible, but It just doesn't look like the rest of the site. Some of thje pages do need cleanup. I realise I used it alot last night, prehaps overzelously in retrospect. I am sorry if I offended you by slapping it on the work. I'm just trying to apply the style standards on the whole armor section at the momment and sometimes it is faster for me to slap a cleanup tag on it to call attention that the page needs some major work (which the Necromancer Head gear would need to bring it to look like the Mesmer headgear, even though it does look nice, I must admit)). Sometimes I feel like I'm patching a sinking ship with duct tape. Guildwiki has grown to become bloated, and needs a major scripting overhall if we are ever going to be ready for nightfall. I've also used some discrete notifications by categorising pages automaticly if they are missing data in thier infoboxes. All of this in the end will make our wiki easier to maintain.--Vulpes Foxnik 15:18, 10 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Sorry my comment wasn't directed at Necro headgear, but at a few of the other ones which you also agreed to be overzealous, in case there was any confusion. It will still help if you add the reasoning in the cleanup tag, that way not only would you call attention, you would also let others know how to help patching it.  Again, if others can't tell what's wrong with the articles with cleanup tag, then your effort of calling their attention to the article would be completely wasted since they wouldn't be able to help you patching it. - 20:39, 10 September 2006 (CDT)
