GuildWiki:Community portal

Welcome to the community portal. This hosts recent clarifications, general discussion and so on.

Search
As you might've noticed, I've changed the Search function in the siderbar to use Google Search. There's a very good reason for this: Mediawiki's built-in search was just killing our server. Just changing the sidebar dropped server load by a substantial margin. You can still access normal search by going to Special: Search. Don't abuse it. Gravewit 14:17, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I was wondering about that, spent 10 minutes searching my computer to see if it was a setting in my browser that was doing that (since I have the google toolbar & deskbar). The only problem I see is that that Google seems to find articles that no longer exist. For example Kyla doesn't exist but if you search for it it comes up as a page. Weirdness. --William Blackstaff 16:15, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Task List
See the Task List for a list of current GuildWiki tasks to help with (or add to the list to ask for help).

New Contributors
With the recent influx of contributors, there has been an issue with 3 or more sequential edits (see Signet of Capture history) changing only a few characters. At the very least, it would be nice for a &quot;This is a minor edit&quot; to be checked, and even better, &quot;Show preview&quot; (which even I forget a bit). Is there any obvious way to notify the newcomers to do this? - Lunarbunny 02:43, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Probably not =D. --William Blackstaff 02:51, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

As of 10/30 There has been a few changes to the Article &quot;How to form a Guild&quot; as of recent updates have restricted this action within Pre-Searing Ascalon City-Guest Edit: Guild Capes are no longer made in Pre-Ascalon

Issues for Debate
How categories are handled, at Category_talk:Categories, as well as proposals for new skill categorisations at GuildWiki_talk:Style_and_formatting/Skills.

The &quot;New&quot; skill template: Looks the same, but changes the way it's coded at Template_Talk:Skill_New.

Last but not least, right here is the debate over whether this new page makes any sense. I'm going for a mostly informal style: This is, after all, a &quot;Community&quot; page for a relatively small community. Personal pronouns are the norm, first person is the view to take.

I was hoping somone would post an article on the various slang used in guild wars such as &quot;LFG&quot;, &quot;KD/AS&quot;, &quot;Battery&quot; etc

Quick page &amp; category links
On Wikipedia's main page there are some small links, linking to new pages and categories (see Wikipedia:Template:Newpagelinksmain), I find this useful; could we have a similar thing here? I converted it to GuildWiki flavour URLs here User:Skuld/new-links-testtpl --Skuld &Dagger; 19:00, 17 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I would like to see an overhaul of the Main Page completely. The page as it is at the moment does not really look very appealing, and overall seems a bit cluttered. If you look at wikipedia the main page is very clear and concise. 06:20, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I've made the change, but since this topic relates to the Main Page directly it should be discussed on Talk:Main Page :) 06:39, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * great =D ok. thanks for the tip --Skuld &Dagger; 06:53, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)
