PvP versions of quick references
I'm starting to create PvP versions of these pages. (See User:Ender-Alacran/Quick_References). I was particularly motivated by the Binding Ritual skills quick reference page, since every single binding spirit is split to PvP (and thus the page was nearly useless for PvP.) I'll start moving/creating them in the normal namespace sometime later this week if no one objects. Anyone is obviously welcome to help create them as well, or even take over the project if they've got a faster way (like using a bot of some kind.) --Ender A 20:54, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, after looking at the code, it seems to me that it would be helpful to create "-skill name- (PvP)" pages as redirects back to the normal version for all skills that aren't split. That way, if they're split in the future, these PvP QR won't need to be sought out and updated. Plus if people mistakenly search for a pvp version of a skill that isn't split, it'll simply redirect them to the correct page. Does that sound like a good idea? Maybe I'm just edit-happy right now. :P --Ender A 21:23, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see a problem with it. I wouldn't do all of them, but just the ones that you use in your QRs.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 22:52, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, we're currently inconsistent on the "quick reference" page names. Do we want to go with "___ skills quick reference" or just "____ skills"? The former is more specific in case we need the other name for describing something more general, whereas the latter is obviously shorter. I have no preference, but I would like to make them consistent.--Ender A 00:18, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * (1) the general idea of PvP quick references sounds ok. Alternatively, you could also divide the pages into PvP and PvE versions. (2) The naming convention depends on usage. Mesmer skills fits the category better, Mesmer skills quick reference fits the comparison page best, and List of Mesmer skills makes more sense for either a similar page with no details (just the list, Ma'am) or an article with all the details.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 04:14, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * These will be moved into the main namespace once completed? (and clean up all the redirects left behind after all those page moves please). --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 05:01, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
