no 2008 article
Merge holiday locations is a good project aimed at removing all the different year articles as they basically all have the same stuff. Unless this year is radically different from last year, put all information here generically and keep that project in mind when editing. Thanks everyone!&mdash;♥Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 20:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I think it is good to have seperate Holiday locations. Merging them sounds like an awful idea, no offense. Dates, Times, Drops, Events are all different from year to year. Therefore it doens't make any sense to merge them. Also it doesn't really take up that much space to recreate one for every year. As well as the fact that it would be very confusing to have them all in one article. Please DON'T merge. 16:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

New Miniatures
So we most likely will be getting a mini rat of sorts. But I think GW suggested that the 2nd mini will be this guy and as the picture is labled nian_spot.jpg and a Nian in Chinese mythology, is a beast that comes in spring. . Cool.
 * a little further digging via google and I came up with this this site That has art from GW and a Nian is pictured

Rock, Paper, Scissor
Will this mini game be here again this year ? I see no note of on Guild Wars website. Unindal 15:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * How do you mean? The only R/P/S mini-game during a festival I can recall is during Halloween events with the Mad King. Actually Unindal, it's already mentioned here, see no reason why it wouldn't feature again this year, generally only new activities get added to festivals, Anet don't usually remove ones from the same past event. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 04:47, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

New collector???
Whats this about a new collector for mini pigs? what do you think s/he will trade for it? I personally think a mini ooze, (since rat and ooze are seen together in town) or a mini Nian. --Patch 16:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Is there a collector for piggies, then? --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 16:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

 * You phail at formatting :P Also, it says RIGHT IN THERE that it's every 3 hours --Gimmethegepgun 22:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

2007 schedule in 2008
Thinking out loud here, is there any reason for retaining the 2007 schedule and having to use those show/hide boxes? In the past GuildWiki was about documenting the game as is, not as was. Since the intention is to no longer have 2007, 2008, 2009 etc articles for each festival (which is a good thing), do we want keep past year's schedules or each year just replace the now "old" schedule with the new "this years" version? --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 04:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, they're sorta pointless as-is. Maybe remove the show/hide boxes, just have a note at the beginning of the article that says, '[BLAH] is an annual event, and there may be changes/additions from year to year. The information on this page is current as of [somedate].' Probably do the same for the other holiday articles. --Belker 06:27, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
