Insignia Overview
Do we need to list the campaign? Also, I removed headgear completely from the table because in Nightfall headgear can have any insignia. --Glynnis (talk|contr) 17:09, 10 January 2007 (CST)

Definitions

 * Revision 1.0 - initial definitions
 * Revision 1.1 - armor base stats
 * Revision 1.2 - armor bonus rating and armor bonus stats
 * Revision 1.3 - attributes on headgear
 * Revision 1.4 - standard armor and ascended armor

Armor Crafter Format
Can anyone help me make the tables look nicer? Here are my two ideas. Any help is appreciated. --Glynnis (talk|contr) 15:49, 12 January 2007 (CST)

{|
 * valign="top" style="background: #BFFFD4; border: 1px solid #00D245; padding: .5em 1em; margin: 1em;"|

Necromancer (Option 1)

 * valign="top" style="background: #BFFFD4; border: 1px solid #00D245; padding: .5em 1em; margin: 1em;"|

Necromancer (Option 2)
Note: All armor has basic armor stats with Armor 30.
 * }


 * This is how I would format it, depending on what page it should be used on. That red link I want to lead to a page containing all professions basic stats sorted in a nice way :P.

{|
 * valign="top" style="background: #BFFFD4; border: 1px solid #00D245; padding: .5em 1em; margin: 1em;"|

Necromancer
Note: All armor use basic Necromancer armor stats


 * valign="top" style="background: #BFFFD4; border: 1px solid #00D245; padding: .5em 1em; margin: 1em;"|

Necromancer

 * Bonelace Armor (art)
 * Fanatic's Armor
 * etc
 * Necromancer Prophecies Headgear
 * }

 * Sorry, I should have explained better. This box is for use on the armor crafter pages (see Samuka).  I posted two options above (now labelled Options 1 and 2).  Each table has a left column for a link to the art pages and a right column for function.  Is that clearer?  Also I updated the note for Option 2.  I think the colours could be better but I'm not sure how. --Glynnis  (talk|contr) 13:03, 13 January 2007 (CST)
 * Armor +30? +30 from what? If we should write out any numbers in that note, I think it should contain ALL numbers. And personally I don't think we should include the armor function linking on those pages at all, just link to the armor crafting page. There you can read everything about that armor anyway. &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 13:12, 13 January 2007 (CST)
 * But this is my big plan. *gasp* The best way to decide which art/function pages we should have on the wiki is to go in-game and talk to a crafter. My idea (or actually it was PanSola's) is that every piece of armor should have two links from the crafter article (art and function).  I was planning to update all of the armor crafters with tables like this, fix all the links and see what is missing/extra.
 * Also I note Armor +30 because the (not-yet-written) basic armor page will say "up to Armor +60". I wanted that tell people that Samuka doesn't have the highest armor but only Armor +30 plus the normal necro stats from basic armor.  --Glynnis  (talk|contr) 14:23, 13 January 2007 (CST)
 * Ah, it's the + that confuses me, it's never used in game. If you just had written Armor 30, I would have got it xD It's good to have the armor lvl there, if it's not elsewhere in the article. And I don't mind you adding all the functions, I just think it's too much work :) Maybe it will look fine. And me informative. I will check how you have thought with Factions and Nightfall crafters &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 16:21, 13 January 2007 (CST)
 * Removing the + is easy. :D  --Glynnis   03:05, 14 January 2007 (CST)
 * One more thing. If you set that Attribute +1 is a base stat in Factions and Nightfall, I think it would be nice if it's a base stat in Prophecies too.. Just for standardization. And I think I prefer the more slimmed version with link to the base stats. It's growing on me, this function-art-table :) &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 05:08, 14 January 2007 (CST)
 * I updated the article using Option 2. Unfortunately, Attribute +1 can't be part of the base armor because some headgear doesn't have it.  I put Attribute in the bonus column. I think we will need an article called "Attribute armor" (or something).  I'm glad you are starting to like this.  :D  Please comment more if you have ideas.  --Glynnis   07:34, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Colors
The colors you added, are those the ones that was officially "discussed"? And where is that discussion? :P I can't find it.. &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 13:25, 17 January 2007 (CST)
 * Lol! I asked Bexor the same question.  The reply was scary (at least to me) because the talk page was so long.  The discussion is at GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Profession colors.  I copied the table by Barek and Gem in the Final draft section.  --Glynnis   13:48, 17 January 2007 (CST)
 * Uh, it was very long indeed. >< I hoe they make the templates soon, so we can just add the template names and the colors will update when they decide on other colors ;) &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 14:15, 17 January 2007 (CST)
 * I know, a template would be so nice. Then people like us don't have to worry about it. :)  --Glynnis   14:24, 17 January 2007 (CST)

NavBoxes
Could we have a simple line, like the line done like this above the armor nav boxes? In cases like Monk Ascetic's Star Armor It would look much better, since we lack images still. &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 19:34, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * I added it. It is very small and light.  Is that what you wanted?  --Glynnis   14:43, 22 January 2007 (CST)
 * Yes, it's not big and disturbing but makes a difference like on the mentioned page, thank you :) &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 15:10, 22 January 2007 (CST)
