your skill boxes...
if you have to use so many different templates, don't they all comeback and make the syntax as complicated as before? o_O""" -PanSola 03:39, 21 February 2006 (CST)
 * You don't have to put them in manually, just a switch: energy? = yes and then how much energy? = 5 or if no energy: energy = no and it won't even appear on the page. Or so I hope, i'll write how it works when its done 03:42, 21 February 2006 (CST)
 * It'll be impressive when you pull it off. The best I can hack the templates to do conditionals is the elite coloring thing, and that was an ugly hack at that d-: -PanSola 03:47, 21 February 2006 (CST)
 * I might have to drop the bit where if the input is "no" it doesn't display the amount, look User:Skuld/Skill_box/index >< you can't pull variables from an included page (User:Skuld/Skill_box/energy_yes) :(
 * Is energy? = no and how much energy? = N/A too much code for a skill that has no energy do you think? 03:54, 21 February 2006 (CST)
 * Yeah all that text, even though it's plain english, still raises the complexity of the syntax (since you have to type it exactly right). But I think I can take the elite coloring hack and come up with soemthing... -PanSola 04:28, 21 February 2006 (CST)
 * Oh good, tell me when you do, my head hurts :p 04:30, 21 February 2006 (CST)
 * Done. Version 3, simple syntax yet combines the flexiblity of my original design.  User:PanSola/Skill chart test, direct application of the elite coloring trick.  I still need to separate the top and the bottom to get columns to align for quick reference lists, and I'm keeping it that way.  -PanSola 04:49, 21 February 2006 (CST)
 * Ah, I meant in plain English. Never mind, your is simpler and I think what I was trying to do was impossible :p 05:15, 21 February 2006 (CST)

I think i've got it :)

can now be done with

activation? = no

or

activation? = yes what activation time? = 5

works just as I want it ^^ 00:06, 2 March 2006 (CST)


 * BTW, double check the GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Skills. -PanSola 01:25, 2 March 2006 (CST)

Thanks
Thanks for the correction. I think I can still use the "I'm new" excuse :P
 * Btw, nice find with the Writhing Focus. Thats the first I've seen. --Gares Redstorm 04:24, 1 March 2006 (CST)
 * Your newness excuse time is running out, treasure it bwaha :p np about the focus, i'm trying to get a writhing staff now, then I have had the lot I think :) 04:28, 1 March 2006 (CST)

tizzy's spam section
hi, you online?--Tizzy 22:56, 1 March 2006 (CST)


 * Not right now, he's not. --Karlos 22:59, 1 March 2006 (CST)


 * I am joking, in case anyone missed it. :) --Karlos 23:01, 1 March 2006 (CST)
 * I didnt miss it, no way you could know =p --Tizzy 23:13, 1 March 2006 (CST)

git outa my talk page you hooligans! 23:14, 1 March 2006 (CST)
 * Its MY talk page! --Tizzy 23:16, 1 March 2006 (CST)

Hey can u come online???
 * no sorry >< 00:49, 14 March 2006 (CST)
 * aw why? U banned? --Tizzy 00:55, 14 March 2006 (CST)

uhhuh That til when? :( And why is this my spam section? *spams* --Tizzy 01:07, 14 March 2006 (CST) Graah, the only week when I can actually play with you without having to go off all the time and you go and get yourself banned >< --Tizzy 01:16, 14 March 2006 (CST)
 * U still b-anned? Do u knwo til when? Please answer :(--Tizzy 00:24, 15 March 2006 (CST)


 * Actually, you're banned?! How did you manage that, Skuld? I'm impressed! Shandy 00:14, 15 March 2006 (CST)


 * He's not banned from guildwars, just from the PC =P --Tizzy 00:24, 15 March 2006 (CST)


 * Oh. That's decidedly less cool. OK. I'll stop spamming you now, Skuld :P Shandy 00:45, 15 March 2006 (CST)


 * Infact, this is MY Spam section, look at the title *points*. Also, I wanna see Skuldy's face when he sees THIS =p --Tizzy 00:58, 15 March 2006 (CST)

Answer me on gW!

Hi... Any idea when you might come online again sku? --Tizzy 11:59, 19 April 2006 (CDT)

Yes / No templates
Any idea why the "Yes" and "No" templates are not working in the article "Henchman"? When I first looked at it this morning, it was showing just the text from those templates (style=#...) and all of the data was in a single cell. I got it to drop that text and show a colored "Yes" and "No", but they still aren't in their correct columns. I saw that you had made very minor edits to the templates last night that shouldn't have had an effect, but that was aparently the trigger. I'm also not sure if it's just an IE issue, or if it's also a problem in other browsers. --Barek 23:04, 4 March 2006 (CST)
 * there ya go, my linebreak screwed it 23:06, 4 March 2006 (CST)
 * Thanks! That was driving me nuts! --Barek 23:07, 4 March 2006 (CST)

The vs. the
Skuld are you sure that the capitalization for Hilos is The vs the? The only boss that I've seen so far that has had "The" with a capital 'T' is Thul The Bull all others I've run accross have been "the". --Rainith 18:20, 5 March 2006 (CST)
 * I'm not sure! theres about 50/50 links to The/the, I just checked wanted pages. Oops! 18:20, 5 March 2006 (CST)
 * I'd suggest changing most of them to "the" as it seems that Thul is just an abberation.

About User talk:Wesrichards
The guy seems to be itching for a fight. I think it would be wiser to stay out of the fray. Let him do whatever he wants with his user or talk pages. We don't have to respond, after all. 18:12, 7 March 2006 (CST)
 * Ok. I think we need some rules defined regarding user talk pages, they're there so other people can contact you after all, it's not much different to blanking any other talk page. If you want to cut it down it should be moved to an archive sub-page methinks 18:15, 7 March 2006 (CST)
 * I'm looking for NO fights. Please tell me what you read that sounds like itching for fights.  I'm being belittled by the GuildWiki staff and their 'friends'.  I'm sure in the end, you will all have a good time banning me for doing what?  Absolutly nothing.  Tell me when and where I 'itched for fights'.  That is why I request 'someone' contact me outside GuildWiki.--Wes R 18:19, 7 March 2006 (CST)
 * All right, my apologies then. Generally, blanking talk pages is considered to be in poor form. I don't know what the GuildWiki Cabal will do to you (I stopped attending their meetings), but you should know that trying to goad members here into "contacting you" seems, to me at least, as trying to pick a fight. I don't know your history with Karlos and have no intention of digging through the history to find out. Enjoy! 18:36, 7 March 2006 (CST)
 * Well, I thought I'd spare GuildWiki the all of this unnessesary text that it has caused. My attempt at keeping what doesn't belong here out of here failed, and now for some reason I'm the one to be banned.  And please don't try to put words in my mouth.  I never called the staff here a cabal.  I was mearly trying to spare GuildWiki all this crap arguement and failed.  But thanks for all the help.  And please don't accuse me of 'not letting it go' when you guys keep 'not letting it go'.--Wes R 18:44, 7 March 2006 (CST)

status of your skill box template?
Are you going to keep working on it to make it actually plain English, withdrawing it, or entering the ballot as-is? And if the non-plain-Englishness of your current version template defeats the main reason you created it, are there elements of the style you really want to salvage? -PanSola 19:09, 10 March 2006 (CST)

I don't know :( i'd like it if we could use the display:none aspects to hide stuff that isn't needed in the skill and it would be nice to keep the elite flagging bit 21:26, 10 March 2006 (CST)
 * The issue with using display:none is, in the long term, you might have to type 10 different "none" inside the skill template by chapter 10, as the skill mechanics grow, and that simply becomes silly and a chore. This is why in my original revamped vertical design I made that part modular, so we type what needs to be displayed, everything else not entered gets hidden.  With the new horizontal format I decided to favor regularity, and just made 4 slots and ppl type what is to be displayed in the 4 slots of space (which *might* get us into trouble as skill mechanics grow, but I hope not).
 * Basically, if we end up having 10 stuff that isn't needed, I'd rather not type them in the first place as opposed to typing "none" 10 times. But it's still your choice to propose the format.  d-:  -PanSola 03:05, 11 March 2006 (CST)

I fixed some redirects to fit the strange format on some of the images.. if you wan't you can use this

--Markild 09:55, 12 March 2006 (CST)
 * I thinnk you got the context wrong... -PanSola 09:57, 12 March 2006 (CST)

BTW, I added chapter markings to my skill box, which makes mine more "full-featured" than your current proposal. But then it'd feel like cheating if ppl voted for mine simply based on taht feature, so just informing you about it so you can put it in yours if you are so inclined to. -PanSola 20:21, 14 March 2006 (CST)

When it's used in a quick reference list, are you planning to have the fields aligned or unaligned? The way your template is currently written they would end up unaligned I think, just checking if that is your intention. -PanSola 23:59, 14 March 2006 (CST)

Re:Template:User-chars
I believe so. Not sure if the wiki takes a while to detect pages that link to other pages - tried purging the cache for the template -> what links here, but I'm not sure if that changes anything. I guess it's no big deal either way. Besides, it's kinda messy. Evan The Cursed 05:29, 11 March 2006 (CST)

I made it 6 months ago and even then only I used it ;) 05:32, 11 March 2006 (CST)


 * Aw =/ Evan The Cursed talk 05:40, 11 March 2006 (CST)

New Armor
do NOT buy it's helm, looks like a stonesummit that got melted :p -You!

Omg you bastard share the pics >.<

Though, it wouldn't be the first time Anet shafts Warriors on the headgear. >_> Or with armor in general. Blah glad's set. Blaaah. Evan The Cursed (Talk) 05:44, 12 March 2006 (CST)

rahh! i think thats it anyway 16:27, 12 March 2006 (CST)


 * Sigh, check out the boots. That's like wearing rubber waders with your Armani suit. Am I the only one who hates that you have to wear those stupid knight-boots (or gloves or whatever) to be competitive? -- 16:39, 12 March 2006 (CST)


 * I like 15k ascalon boots :D only with 15k matching gloves though. In all honesty it won't make a difference if you don't have stoneskin gloves, kinghts boots, lts helm and a rainbow lifejacket 16:42, 12 March 2006 (CST)

Still Feeling It Out
Thanks for the help with renovation of user page. And I am special, at least my gf and my dog think so :P --Gares Redstorm 23:48, 13 March 2006 (CST)
 * No problem :) 23:50, 13 March 2006 (CST)

new skill box template proposal rules
To help ppl be less confused when voting for skill box proposals, I've instituted a list of rules that all proposals should follow: GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Skills/Skill box. If you don't have the time, or don't want to bother, I can do most of the work making your proposal rule-compliant. But to reduce confusion I'd like to create new articles under your user namespace, if that's alright with you. -SolaPan 15:52, 21 March 2006 (CST)
 * Yeh thats fine, sorry I forgot about it 18:05, 21 March 2006 (CST)

Here is what your proposal look like for quick reference lists: User:Skuld/Skill box/List and Syntax. I took the liberty of changing the skill icons to JPG since that passed the votes (and your proposal looks quite bad when you have skill icons of different sizes, which was the case with pngs). I would recommend having links to the skill articles in the box, as well as aligning the stat icons (you can used the trick I did with my landscape format). But this is your proposal, up to you (-: -SolaPan 13:37, 22 March 2006 (CST)

categorizing icons
Considering the skill icon vote that has passed recently, are you just categorizing images which will be deleted soon just for the heck of it? Or is this part of your plan to counter my planetary domination movement? -SolaPan 19:03, 22 March 2006 (CST)
 * I am categorising because I like categories :) 19:04, 22 March 2006 (CST)
 * If you simply like categories, then you can jsut create categories. No need to categorize things d-: -SolaPan 19:05, 22 March 2006 (CST)
 * evil :p 19:06, 22 March 2006 (CST)
 * Where is this vote? I hate the black/yellow borders around the images 19:08, 22 March 2006 (CST)


 * GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Skills. It was over yesterday...
 * I also hyped it up before it was going to end over at GuildWiki talk:Community Portal

skill box proposal - any more edits?
Let me know if you are going to do anything to align your skill stats icons (they look really messy right now IMHO), and/or add the compaign info into your skill box, and/or anything else. If you are not going to do anything, I'm going to announce the "7 days before voting begin" review period. -SolaPan 19:18, 22 March 2006 (CST)

Skill icons
Skuld, per the vote here: GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Skills we are going to all jpg icons. Please stop undoing all that I did for the warrior elites last night. :) --Rainith 00:01, 23 March 2006 (CST)
 * Sorry, I saw >< 00:38, 23 March 2006 (CST)
 * np - I noticed after I put this here that you and PanSola/SolaPan had a discussion about it above. --Rainith 00:58, 23 March 2006 (CST)

Luna Mindwrath
The pic, is that an emote? 04:52, 27 March 2006 (CST)
 * It's the illusionary weaponry cast animation 14:32, 27 March 2006 (CST)
 * Duh! should have known it! 15:32, 27 March 2006 (CST)

Underscores
Was that necessary on the Team B/P article or are you just bored? hehe --Gares Redstorm 02:22, 1 April 2006 (CST)
 * Well underscores are a mediawiki feature, not the article title, besides_this_is_a_mess :D 03:15, 1 April 2006 (CST)

Adjustment to ban template
Hey, if you have time, can you stick a link in Template:Ban that would check Special:Log to see if that user/ip is on there? I don't know if that is possible or not (but I figure you might). Just another way to double check that we're not double blocking somone. --Rainith 14:36, 6 April 2006 (CDT)
 * I'm not quite sure how the log works, it hasn't done what I wanted in the past and isn't now:
 * http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki?title=Special:Log&type=block&user=User:24.49.41.167
 * http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki?title=Special:Log&type=block&user=24.49.41.167
 * They return nothing, and Special:Ipblocklist doesn't seem to have any functionality


 * Strangely upload and protect work fine:
 * http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki?title=Special:Log&type=protect&page=Category:Prophecies+Campaign
 * http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki?title=Special:Log&type=upload&page=Image:Luna.jpg


 * All logs of a named user works:
 * http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki?title=Special:Log&user=Skuld
 * Got it, it doesn't work in the user field, the page field does though =) 14:57, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

Ra deletion tag
On Ra You asked Pointless, want El and Wa and Ne aswell? Answer is no, because when you say W everyone knows we're talking about a Warrior. But with the addition of the Ritualist, people are now using Ri and Ra, saying R could refer to either. So I'd say it's not pointless at all. I've put this reasoning on the article's talk page now (which I also did in the summary when I made the article). If you agree and remove the delete flag, all is good, otherwise I guess we'll have to prepare for war, I will argue for the article staying because I see the term used in game. Don't you just love the calm before the storm? :) --Xasxas256 14:50, 6 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Meh keep it, just don't link to it :p 14:57, 6 April 2006 (CDT)


 * FWIW, I agree with the Skuld's deletion tag. The authoritative abbreviation for Rangers is R. As far as I'm concerned, Ra is the Egyptian Sun God. F G 15:12, 6 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Ra is the Egyptian Sun God; the joke is on us if the introduce a Rambo class? What do I care, delete it then, whatever. I don't contribute much any more, I just try to help out now and there, those two articles I made don't obvoiusly seem to be helping, so get rid of them then. I made those two pages right at the end of the day at work, now that I'm home, I'm just tired and basically I don't care, sorry if I sound glib, but you guys win so just be happy, at least one of us should be. --Xasxas256 17:25, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

Quoting Wikipedia: Ra can refer to:
 * Ra - the sun god of ancient Heliopolis
 * Ra (Stargate) - the character from the film Stargate.
 * Ra (band) can refer to two bands:
 * Ra (Norwegian band), a Norwegian psytrance act
 * Ra (U.S. band), an American rock band
 * Ra (board game) - the German-style board game
 * Ra, Fiji - a Province in Fiji.
 * An alternate spelling for the Polynesian deity Roua.
 * The chemical symbol for Radium
 * The Rayleigh number, in physics
 * Shin-Ra, the ruthless corporation from Final Fantasy VII
 * The Ra Cailum and/or the Ra Cailum class battleship
 * Ra, a half-step below Re on the solfege scale
 * The boat the Norwegian Thor Heyerdahl used to prove that it was possible to travel across the Atlantic in a primitive boat.
 * Radium number 88 on ther periodic table
 * Ra (Slang), British English slang for young upper middle class person (usually female)

I think it will be fair to say that Ra hs quite a few meanings and adding one wont hurt. --Xeeron 17:47, 6 April 2006 (CDT)


 * You are ignoring the substance of the objection, viz. "Ra" is not an authoritative abbreviation, and concentrating on some incidental feature. What of my point that no one is likely to search for "Ra"? If nothing links to "Ra", and it is used only colloquially by the inconsistently lazy Guild Wars playerbase, then I fail to see why we need the redirect. F G 17:52, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

Charr Ashen Claw
I couldn't work out why you put a cleanup tag on Charr Ashen Claw, it seemed ok to me. Rainith said on the Talk page to drop a note on your user page which seemed sensible to me, so here's my note :) --Xasxas256 20:44, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Well it has a bosses section, and the locations section is different =) Yes I am lazy Skuld  00:16, 12 April 2006 (CDT)
 * So if I were to: remove the bosses section and remove the pics next to the skills and items, you'd be happy for me to remove the cleanup tag? I've noticed that you've put a cleanup tag on quite a number of articles, I've cleaned up a couple today, I might harrass you about a few more though :) --00:37, 12 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Hehe yes :p Skuld  00:39, 12 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Okay...apologies for all that stuff about Augury Rock to Thirsty River, I've moved it off to my Talk Page, again sorry for the confusion. --Xasxas256 04:22, 12 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Skuld and Stabber are actually the same person. In fact, they are both Xeeron who, as we all know, is Tetris. Since Rainith is also me, that leaves you Xasxas, who are you? :) --Karlos 04:58, 12 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Lol, no really I laughed out loud, which is always good when people around you are studying and you start laughing on the PC next to them for no reason! Also I thought we'd established that I was an reincarnation of Trotsky. Either that or I'm Dashface. Us Aussies are all pretty much the same, we all ride Kangaroos to school and I'm throwing a few shrimp on the barbie right now. :P --Xasxas256 05:08, 12 April 2006 (CDT)

Deleting Hydromancer build
It would be nice if you could leave a note on the talk page stating why the build is rubbish. --Xeeron 05:01, 12 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Bcos it was made from the water skills I had unlocked, which was possibly not the best choice Skuld  05:30, 12 April 2006 (CDT)

Hey, I just wanted to tell you, your user site is pretty cool. I took the liberty of adopting your style for my own user page, I hope you don't mind. :) --Nilles 03:54, 18 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Of course not =) Skuld  10:18, 19 April 2006 (CDT)

Skuld!
We miss you!! Foo 06:38, 18 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Aww =( Skuld  10:18, 19 April 2006 (CDT)

So???
When are you planing to come back Skuld???!!! Tell me!!! I miss you!!! --Tizzy 08:08, 23 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Don't know sorry Skuld  10:14, 23 April 2006 (CDT)
