HoM names for armor
The bolded names for armor that show up in the HoM (Marhan's Grotto Ascended Armor, etc.) are not meant to be wiki-links, because having articles with those names would serve no purpose. Please stop changing them. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 15:45, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * There ARE ALREADY articles for those armors, and they SHOULD be links, because having a link that goes to the Marhan's Grotto Exclusive armor page lets you know which armor from each profession fills that slot on the monument. That way, someone looking to fill the monument can be sure he doesn't buy the same armor set twice with two different professions. 65.102.211.54 20:12, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That Marhan's Grotto Exclusive armor is linked here and here. If someone needs to know of their armor and that monument, can check out the monument page. That's what I'd do with my monument, instead of relying on armor pages that should just be about that particular armor. Ariyen 21:57, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Nonetheless, One can see what any given Elite Sunspear armor looks like via a link from the class-specific page, but not so the elite Prophecies armors of a particular kind.65.102.211.54 22:20, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ariyen, if you see a word on a page that we have an article page for, you can link its first occurrence. It helps people find their way around the wiki more quickly. --◄mendel► 22:37, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess you try to be boss of everything Mendel. I don't see why every single thing has to be linked on the armor article that can't already be found, just as easy via the monument it's self. Also, those changes makes it inconsistent with the other armor articles that are like the Warrior. I'd rather see this ip get "consensus" first, before changing a lot of articles, same with you. it's already been like it has for a long while with no problems. Ariyen 00:49, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


 * On a sidenote, shouldn't the word "armor" be uppercase on the page names as per GW:ULC ("If the game capitalizes a word, so does GuildWiki.") if they're uppercase in the game? I am referring to Marhan's Grotto Exclusive armor etc. ,the page itself states the name is uppercase ingame. --◄mendel► 22:35, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent)

I'm confused by the controversy. Redlinks are bad, sure. But we have distinct articles for the names used by the HoM and that used for the elite armor. Shouldn't both sets of articles link to each other at least once per article? How is that a bad thing?

Frankly, ANet's decision to force consistency only in the HoM and yet violate their own Prophecies mis-naming convention is confusing. I welcome anything that we can do to help make things clear to most people. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 01:19, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * There are no redlinks - where do you see any? The IP linked words to articles - we always do that. If it's suddenly improper to link in-game terms that are lready there in teh article and that have pages for them, we can just tell everyone to go away. --◄mendel► 02:12, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, there was a redlink - the [ first time] this IP created one of those links, it became a redlink because of the [A|a]rmor issue. At the time, I had no clue that these article actually existed (in fact, I thought I remembered arguing against their creation), so I assumed that the IP was mistaken in creating said link.
 * So when Ariyen reverted the IP's edits today (with her inaccurate edit summaries stating they were redlinks when they actually weren't this time), I assumed that the same thing had happened again. Seems like I've been making a lot of stupid-ass mistakes like that lately.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 04:33, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


 * There, the situation has been resolved - all Prophecies elite armors now link to their HoM name. I would've done that earlier if I had bothered to check Ariyen's edits instead of trusting her judgment.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 05:01, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, you shouldn't trust mine. I was trusting your's. Eh, oops. Oh well, Glad you're fixing it all. Ariyen 06:54, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
