About deleting
I am against it. You are wright that is for forums, websites, but it's verry used almost the entire comunity usses it including GuildWars.com uses a similar version. Also an extension for MW exists as well. An thats way there is this category. And this is about the game in the end like GWFreaks, The Edge, GW Team Builder, GW Manager --Phoenix 02:49, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * The end product is not something you use in the game, it's something you use to make your site look better. --Karlos 03:52, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Wrong! the end product you use in game. After the build maker makes the build it postes it on the forum for the next gvg battle, or TA, or wathever then the memmbers can specify if they can play it or not and what position as well make modification. So you see it is used.--Phoenix [[Image:Phoenix_Benu.png]] 04:52, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Ummm, this is not a build maker, is it? As I understand, it's just code to allow you to display skill info on a web page, no? --Karlos 05:06, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes it's a build maker as a code to be displayed on a forum. Take a look on http://gwshack.us/ at the build library section.--Phoenix [[Image:Phoenix_Benu.png]] 06:49, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * I'm not sure yet whether I should agree or disagree with a delete. It is right, we do have articles about 3rd party software, but this is not a 3rd party software used with the game, but rather a 3rd party software for fansites about the game. It was agreed that we do not want articles about fansites on the wiki. However, from a different point of view: Does it hurt in any way, to keep this article? It may not be directly connected to the game, but it is closely related. --84-175 (talk) 06:29, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * I have made a Mediawiki extension to support gwBBCode on wiki, so I think this page has a place in the wiki (see here). Even if the extension is not used by Guild Wiki, it is a software which has a relationship with Guild Wars.--Ouroboros 07:13, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * If this articles claim that ANet uses this on their homepage is true, that is a good argument against deletion. --Xeeron 09:23, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * I am completely against deleting, This is not a fansite article (the article is about GwBBcode not Gwshack), it is a tool just like Gwfreaks (which you have an article). It is not only for sites to look "pretty", it also helps incredible to party formation (see pickup function on tutorial). While you are ingame, I use gwBBcode more than gwfreaks actually looking for the posted builds that have neat information. I even beleave wiki should install it, having to open 5 windows to understand an uncommon posted build is annoying, which would be great if you have all the skill info in a little pop-up window. --Coran Ironclaw.
