Easy was to rv pages?
So I saw the recent changes to Style and formatting/Builds that went against the request to not post builds on the page and was going to rv it but then I realized I've only ever chosen 'edit' then pasted the old line or two that was changed from the history. I see that about 1/2 the article was changed and when I copy/paste it adds dashes and such to the page. Is there an easier way to just revert it to the previous version without having to copy/paste the old version like I have been doing?--  Vallen Frostweaver  07:43, 7 December 2006 (CST)
 * If you're viewing a diff, click "edit" for the old revision then save. Otherwise, go to the history, click the date for the revision you want to restore, then edit, then save.  --Fyren 07:48, 7 December 2006 (CST)
 * Thanks. But you stole my page to try it on. :p  I'm sure there will be more in the future though as there always is.--[[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  07:58, 7 December 2006 (CST)
 * Only admins get the shortcut revert button. — Jyro X [[Image:Darkgrin.jpg|25px]] 08:11, 7 December 2006 (CST)

S&F...again
Didn't we speak on this before :P I finally noticed your statements on Talk:Bolten's Recurve Bow. If you can show me any place Bow is "slapped" all over the page, I will support a change of S&F. The link Bow is there because that article shows the physics of each bow, as not every user that looks on the wiki knows the range of a recurve bow, that hornbows have an innate 10/10 ap, or the refire rate of a flatbow.

And again, to the Collector/Weaponsmith Counterpart, even if it is empty, the title is there for others when they look at the article, they might decide to fill it in. Not everyone is familiar or even knows to look at the Unique items S&F guide, even veteran contributors ;) And I have no clue why you blanked the longbow error instead of taking 2 minutes to fix it. &mdash; Gares 13:22, 7 December 2006 (CST)


 * Yeh, sorry about that >.< &mdash; Skuld 05:21, 8 December 2006 (CST)

Double Build post
Hey skuld, sry to bug you man but this guy changed his build around and now its virtually the same as my build. Also, I archived the rate-a-build for some new votes because of the skill changes. Here's his build Build:Mo/any ZB Prot Monk and here's mine Build:Mo/any Protective Benediction. I know they are property of wiki but for simplicity I'm referring to them as "his" and "mine". I'm saying this to you as a very experienced pvp monk, this build is gold and I would like everyone to know about it. Can you please test it again thoroughly, please also realize it takes some degree of experience to get it right. Thanks skuld.--Johnny55 03:30, 8 December 2006 (CST)
 * I already marked the one I submitted for deletion. I didn't see your's before and it wasn't showing up in the list of untested builds under the monk category. — Jyro X [[Image:Darkgrin.jpg|25px]] 03:32, 8 December 2006 (CST)

These skills can be useful...but let ask you, what would you do against dazed, migrain or even backfire with additional hexes covering it? Totally defenseless...These builds are much more suited for GvG. Johnny55 04:59, 8 December 2006 (CST)


 * Get my partner or drawbot to remove, or in the first bar (arena), dark escape and kite. My ele blindspams the thumpers and I have dark escape and SoA &mdash; Skuld 05:02, 8 December 2006 (CST)


 * Kill the mesmer, signet and stance while waiting out backfire? I am much more worried about the abundance of A/W, thumpers etc than a backfire mesmer.. &mdash; Skuld 05:06, 8 December 2006 (CST)


 * Ok what about random arenas...my opinion is the monk should take care of the team not the team should take care of the monk. Don't get me wrong though...these skills are useful but arent needed if you have someone helping you. Signet and stance won't hold up against heavy degen with backfire. Johnny55 05:09, 8 December 2006 (CST)


 * Why would you want to play RA? T_T &mdash; Skuld 05:11, 8 December 2006 (CST)


 * ask the people that play in it...just because you only do TA doesn't mean no one does RA. Shield Bash has 20 second recharge so this is only good against one attack. The shadow skills can be helpful but...At best you will get off one return and by the time cripple wears off they will catch up to you, even if you are using escape because you still have to cast. They both have long recharge too. Johnny55 05:19, 8 December 2006 (CST)


 * I don't do RA. I don't do theory of monk builds either. Those work better than CoP, sorry. &mdash; Skuld 05:20, 8 December 2006 (CST)


 * I've done all the monk builds man. This isn't theory, it's experience. CoP is a hands down life saver. Sounds like you spent too much time as a Blessed escaper, which has more energy issues than these...Also, alot of other people aren't fortunate enough to be able to form a solid group of experienced players, this helps them out. Johnny55 05:25, 8 December 2006 (CST)

Builds no more? Ack!
Aw man, you were my 'go to' admin for helping clean up the ranger builds. :( Sorry to see you stepping aside from it but it's understandable as to why.  I'm a bit frustrated myself and I'm beginning to come around to the idea of just having build 'ideas' that are very general in description and purpose rather than specific builds that list all skills, equipment, and stats required. For instance, a typical Barrage/Pet Ranger would bring a minimum of Barrage, Charm Animal, and a Pet res skill.  In a group of B/P's they typically bring fav winds and winnowing on one or more rangers in the group as well.  There, I just summed up the requirements for your average B/P Ranger in 2 sentences but what currently has several pages of notes, variants, stat changes, and other info that is too specific IMO.  Maybe just having a quick general description of 1-2 sentences under a profession for each 'type' of common build for that profession could replace so much of the builds section...  I mean, there's already a paragraph describing it's effects... hmm...--  Vallen Frostweaver  11:20, 8 December 2006 (CST)
 * I got all my c/w out of the way and i'm fed up of arguing and don't seem to be doing much good. I'll delete stuff if you give it to me aswell as my regular admin duties but thats about it :) &mdash; Skuld 13:03, 8 December 2006 (CST)


 * *Sigh* I love the build section and think it could be a great reference, but right now its a joke compared to the other Gwars sights build sections. Originally I was against it, but it might be time to move the builds section to its own sight affiliated with the wiki.  Then maybe we could get more respectable buildgurus from other sights to become involved and help turn the builds section into something respectable.  As it is people here are just giving up it seems.  It may be that a wikis format just isn't compatable with a build section.&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]]  13:22, 8 December 2006 (CST)

Question
Question: What does "[sic]" mean. I've seen it a few times and have not understood it.
 * Backronym for spelling is correct, latin for "as written" or similar. Little note to point out that it may not look right, but that is intentional. &mdash; Skuld 11:51, 9 December 2006 (CST)

I cant upload images !!!
Whenever i try to upload my character image it gives me this message: "." is not a recommended image file format.

The image is in .jpeg format... ive tried bmp,png,jpg and they all givr same error


 * Put destination filename as name.jpg &mdash; Skuld 13:39, 9 December 2006 (CST)

User:Jbernstein
Can we do something about this guy already? He can trash his Build:E/R Trapping Flames page all he wants until it gets deleted, but since he's throwing a tantrum and making malicious edits to other pages (also see ) and is currently engaged in an edit war his build page, I think it's time to actually officially warn and/or block him. Please advise further action. --Scottie theNerd 18:45, 9 December 2006 (CST)
 * Jbernstein also added a deletion tag to Build:E/Me Echo Nuker, though it looks like you've seen that one and un-reverted Skuld. Not sure what's going there, I was surprised to see a delete tag remain on a vetted build page. -HarshLanguage 18:55, 9 December 2006 (CST)
 * I think Skuld left it just for the "LoL" factor. =) --Scottie theNerd 18:57, 9 December 2006 (CST)

I don't have time atm, you might want to get someone else &mdash; Skuld 18:57, 9 December 2006 (CST)
 * Skuld really isn't the admin you want to go to on Build portal issues (no offense bro). It's not that he doesn't want to admin or that he's not a good one (he's great) but I am not sure that his time restraints allow him to pay that much attention to the build portal. His priorities lies with administrating the other sections of the wiki if I may make an observation. — Jyro X [[Image:Darkgrin.jpg|25px]] 19:04, 9 December 2006 (CST)
