First Featured Article
We're going to be testing the waters on our partnership with GWG. What I need from you fine people is some suggestions for what to have as a 'Featured GuildWiki Article' on Guild Wars Guru. Nominate! Gravewit 16:00, 12 February 2006 (CST)
 * Damage. We got original GuildWiki research done on that, beyond SonOfRah's famous results. It's a pity to see so many ppl still using SonOfRah's results (some of which aren't exactly correct) as the ultimate treatise on Damage in GuildWars. -PanSola 16:06, 12 February 2006 (CST)
 * Grawl (Species) is also a good article. Animal companion too.  --Rainith 16:09, 12 February 2006 (CST)
 * Damage is a good article, but not the one I would suggest to first time readers. Animal companion is a better example of standart guildwiki articles (but if we go with that, stick a picture in it and update it to include the spider). Some other articles to think about:
 * Guild Wars: Factions - being changed a lot, but very good information.
 * Unique items list - well 1 million viewers cant be wrong.
 * One of our mission articles. Usually very well done and helpful. --Xeeron 05:55, 13 February 2006 (CST)
 * I like Damage but it's a bit arcane. I'd probably vote for Animal companion as it contains lots of interesting information that many people aren't aware of, I think. It may need to be protected shortly after it goes gets featured, however. Shandy 18:45, 13 February 2006 (CST)
 * Scams is a good one. --FireFox 23:53, 13 February 2006 (CST)

Charcatar(sp) encoding messed up
' seems to have turned to â€” on all pages.. ahh and â†? on the diff pages should be left arrow :( 02:59, 11 February 2006 (CST)


 * Yeah, I'm not sure what the heck that's all about. I'll have to check it out after work. Gravewit 03:09, 11 February 2006 (CST)

The disappearence of special pages
So.. I go to check the category and page link pages, but special pages seems to have been wiped: Special:Specialpages. Erk. 03:43, 13 February 2006 (CST)

Uploading Files
I tried to upload a file (a correct file name version of Enfeebling Blood) and I got the following 'internal error': Could not copy file "/var/tmp/phpKEmZWj" to "/home/guildwiki/public_html/images/0/0c/Enfeebling_Blood.png".

Any ideas? Shandy 23:25, 13 February 2006 (CST)

talk page
Wasn't there once talk about giving Main Page/editcopy its own talk page? Was that idea shot down? --Barek 22:53, 14 February 2006 (CST)

Fourth Area color (see Main Page/editcopy )
It looks like there's some requests for a different color in the fourth square. Personally, I'm not sure why some people have a problem with two reds next to each other. Personally, I'm not opposed to the idea of a fourth color if someone can come up with a decent looking alternative, I just really dislike the look of the yellow square. There's got to be a better option than yellow (I think the two red looks much better than the yellow). Lets discuss rather than starting an editing war back and forth on this. --Barek 22:53, 14 February 2006 (CST)
 * I second the request for a color other than yellow. Especially that yellow which looks really washed out and very much like a pale urine color.   --Rainith 00:35, 15 February 2006 (CST)
 * Dont request, suggest please ;-)
 * It looks very strange with the small squares having different colors, but the big ones not. I am not set on yellow, just put up whatever color you feel looks better. Oh and I dislike the red most out of all colors on the main page, but I guess that is just differences in taste, hehe. --Xeeron 00:42, 15 February 2006 (CST)
 * There are two blue boxes as well, not all the smaller ones are different. To me, there is a method to the current colors.  The "What's New" information is one color, the "New user" boxes are a second color (including the how to contribute box), and the general game-play information boxes are a third color. --161.88.255.140 00:45, 15 February 2006 (CST)
 * First off, that was my suggestion, my suggestion was "not yellow" I don't know how much clearer I can get. :P  That said, I tend to agree with 161.88, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  --Rainith 02:33, 15 February 2006 (CST)

Question
Is there any way to do a good search around the site when you don't know the name of the article??? --Tizzy 00:59, 15 February 2006 (CST)
 * Special:Search. What are you looking for? :p 01:02, 15 February 2006 (CST)

Foreign language wikis
Could wikis in foreign lanuages be added to this (e.g. a german wiki) or would the german fans have to make an own wiki?
