GuildWiki:Community portal

Welcome to the community portal. This hosts recent clarifications, general discussion, and perhaps most importantly, a list of outstanding tasks that could use work.

Task list
''See Old Tasks for... Umm... Old Tasks.''


 * Go through the Explorable Areas and finish descriptions. --Tetris L 16:42, 25 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * Re-upload or rename all Skill Images with their full names, no substitutions except for space -> underscore. Requested by Talrath Stormcrush 13:45, 24 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * We are rather weak in the PvP department. We need an experienced PvP player (that rules ME out ;)) to add detailed information about all the arenas, GvG battles, guild halls, the HoH fights, fame, rank, etc ... --Tetris L 16:42, 25 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Very much on this. However I could use some help from people with indept knowledge about the lastest GvG builds. Since I am also weak in the get pictures and upload them department, anyone spending the time to produce pictures for the new articles will be more than welcome. --Xeeron 02:25, 24 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Complete weapons list and articles, with lots of nice images. --Tetris L 18:59, 1 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * EmberLight Camp now has a skill trainer that can teach ALL non-elite skills of all classes, all skill pages need to be updated about it. --Ketaros 12:44, 16 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Going though them all now..all the skills under the ", A, B, C, D, E, F, Q, N, K, L categories have already been updated with the new trainer.--William Blackstaff 20:07, 2 November 2005 (EST)
 * Went through them all, all had it except for Resurrection Signet and Signet of Capture. --Rezyk 17:50, 3 November 2005 (EST)
 * Arrgh! Checked the G, H, I & J skills before I realised Rezyk had already done they rest! In any case (noob contributor question...) do we remove this now or just do the strike thing? --William Blackstaff 00:02, 4 November 2005 (EST)


 * Put something on the GuildWiki namespace links that are on editing pages, protected pages etc. by default Protected_page Copyrights General disclaimer--195.137.4.228 06:13, 25 Sep 2005 (EST) &Dagger;
 * Also Searching which appears in search results. --Rezyk 07:49, 6 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * I put something in that a while ago, but it needs real material Skuld &Dagger; 07:41, 30 October 2005 (EST)


 * complete Warrior Headgear, but check also all other armor if its completed --HJT 11:17, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * I'd like to see a list of player trade prices for items (unique/collectors/etc). I know this would be a little hard to keep up-to-date, but it could serve as a base reference for the people who have no idea on what sells for what (like me). 27 Oct 2005


 * That would be hard for unique as not everyone sells for the same price! It could be attempted though Skuld &Dagger; 01:20, 28 October 2005 (EST)


 * That is a really bad idea and one that we have shot down before. If you want to know how much the unique items are worth look at their descriptions, that is what you can sell them to a merchant for.  What a player is willing to pay for one is much too fluid to even bother to track.  --Rainith 02:05, 28 October 2005 (EST)


 * Not gonna happen for three reasons:
 * a) As Rainith said, it is volatile. It will change on an almost hourly basis. Which means constant superfluous updates.
 * b) Worse (this is my main reason for opposition), there is a vested interest for certain users to MISREPRESENT such information. i.e. A user can edit the Bludgeoner's page and say it's worth 80K then go on the game and tell an interested buyer that 80K is the "standard" price and point him to our page (which he doctored himself). We would be used as a scam site. The inverse is also true, an insidious buyer could edit the Rune of Superior Vigor page to indicate that they sell for 5K then trick some newbie into selling it to him for that price.
 * c) There's really a simple selling method for most items in the game. See the trader's sell price and the trader's buy price. Sell your item anywhere in between. It's harder for items not sold by traders (like weapon upgrades), but even for those, just go stand around in Lion's Arch or Droknar's Forge for 30 minutes and you'll come across several requests to buy and sell the item and you'll get a good sense of how much people are asking for and offering for such an item. If you're going to be a trader, you can't be impatient and/or lazy. :)

Wanted images

 * See Old image requests for old image requests


 * Monk Headgear
 * Ranger Headgear
 * Soldier's Armor
 * Warrior Headgear
 * Unholy Feast (current image is black..?)
 * Insidious Parasite
 * Conjure Flame
 * Ward Against Elements
 * Blood Renewal

Some of these images are caps from the game. It's better if we use the large crisp images in the media kit from Guild Wars' site. --Karlos 20:34, 3 November 2005 (EST)
 * Updated the Conjure Flame article with an image. FYI Karlos, the media kits don't have complete images; for instance Ward Against Elements doesn't seem to be in the list at all, so this might not be possible for all of he skills. --William Blackstaff 01:58, 4 November 2005 (EST)

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 "New" 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 "Community" 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 "LFG", "KD/AS", "Battery" etc


 * See Category:Slang & Terminology. ;) --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 23:16, 12 Sep 2005 (EST)

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)
