Category talk:Build stubs

How do I add new builds? --Melly 09:00, 23 October 2005 (EST)
 * Easiest way is to go to New Contributions and put the build name in there, save, then click on the build name. --Rainith 09:14, 23 October 2005 (EST)

Should there be a category like "build" (and even "team builds")
I think there should be builds and even 4v4, tombs and gvg builds, but they must be up to date, im pretty sure there r several builds that are not anymore of any use. --HJT 00:49, 27 October 2005 (EST)


 * The problem with a growing list will be the fast determination from names. Even now without any category, i can't spot the builds sense in a second. Lets say i enter the builds section and look for a special kind of build. What is Cupido, ODIN or Hidden Monk? I have to click them and search a while till i might find what i need. E/Mo smiter is a good example for a name, straight to the point.
 * Next thing, what prevents people from posting all kind of builds? There are always basic builds with 3-5 essential skills. The others are situational. With the vast amount of skill combinations, the build section will swell without any limit. -- Nemren


 * Hmmm a very simple solution: Append the professions. E.g. "Cupido (Mo/R)" instead of simply "Cupido" --Xeeron 14:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I agree with Xeeron, we should rename all the entries to the formato "Mo/R - Cupido", so we see all the builds ordered by Main Proffession. I can do this work if you agree. --Nektar 13:28, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Would be nice =) --Xeeron 10:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I've been working on this and we are almost there now. Do we want to make it "Pri/Sec - Name" or just "Pri/Sec Name"? I've been doing the latter and will continue to until I hear otherwise. It's not hard to change in any event. --GraceAlone 03:32, 16 February 2006 (CST)

To edit or to vote down?
The way I see it, many people are submitting "their" build right now, which is all fine and good. But we should agree on a way to deal with builds that are percieved as sub-standart (other then letting them rot in the stubs category). We could either vote down builds, or edit them. Editing may change the very intention of the creator of the build, but I still think it is superior to voting some builds down. Opinions? --Xeeron 14:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. I think we need some way of judging the builds so that we know when to move them to their respective categories. Right now things are just sitting in the stubs section and not much is being done about it. I guess I'm a little "gung ho" at the moment and want to see the section cleaned up but it would be nice to move some things to the builds directory where they should be. --GraceAlone 18:56, 16 February 2006 (CST)
 * A few of the builds are obviously bad. We should have a system akin to the one for promoting to unstubbed status for deleting builds. However, if a build looks semi-plausible, you should try it out and give it the benefit of the doubt. Shandy 19:00, 16 February 2006 (CST)
 * At what point are we deeming a build worthy of being "unstubbed?" At the moment it just looks like they sit there in limbo; I don't mind testing the builds that I have the skills for, but I assume we don't just want the opinion of one person. I'm just not sure at what point we're moving a build to the category instead of a stub. It would be nice to get some things moved over as that cat is looking a little "thin" at the moment (IMO). --GraceAlone 20:22, 16 February 2006 (CST)
 * Well, in the past we had the problem of too many people entering builds and not enough testing them. Basically a build sits in stubs till either: Someone comes along, calls the build crap and sets it up for deletion (and noone disagrees) or till more than one person positively comments on the build on the talk page. So whenever you see a build that you know will work drop a line on its talk page. =) --Xeeron 21:58, 16 February 2006 (CST)
 * Sounds good. I'll start testing these when I get the chance so that we can clean this up and hopefully get them moved or marked for deletion. --GraceAlone 23:33, 16 February 2006 (CST)

Capitalization
Some of these are in title case, some of these are not. Why? Pick one (preferably lower case)! &mdash;Tanaric 20:27, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Standardized Format?
Should we be looking at Moving all of the builds to a standardized format to create a more uniform look. I agree with arranging them by the Primary Class. I think we should look at seting up a format to be used on all of these builds. Comments Xneff 01-06-05 3:54pm EST


 * Well there is currently a vote on my usertalk page (maybe I should move that here), so please wait with rearranging till that is over. However I fully agree that both ordering by primary class and a standardized format are desirable. --Xeeron 12:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with standardized format and arranging by primary class, but for the builds that have also a specific secondary the article could have the class combination (like "E/Mo") in its title, for example in parenthesis after the build name. That way people looking for builds for specific characters could find those builds more easily. Just my $0.02. --Sorya 04:13, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Well I've finished "standardizing" the titles for the builds. All the builds now show "Pri/Sec Title" and I've put the team builds under the heading "Team - Title" Now to just get things moved out of the stubs! --GraceAlone 21:19, 16 February 2006 (CST)
