GuildWiki:Suggestions/PvP mode

There are skills which have been split off into PvP skills and there are abbreviations which mean completely different things in PvE and PvP (SoC is Song of Concentration in PvP and Signet of Capture in PvE). Many of the qrs (quick references; they list things like skills which apply cracked armor) only list the PvE versions of skills and also include PvE-only skills. A PvP player would not be interested in the PvE things and only wants to find out about things that they can use in PvP.

If we can provide a setting or a script which would allow a PvP player to only show PvP content, that would be quite useful. Searches automatically go to the PvP version of the skill, qrs only list PvP skills, disambig pages on things like SoC just go right to the PvP version.
 * I don't think this would be that difficult to implement since most QRs reference a template anyway, you'd just need to modify the templates to have a PvE and PvP section for split skills and then a template tag on a given QR page to tell it which notes to use for filling in the table entries. The most difficult aspect would just be spending the time updating preexisting QRs/templates. But a "Use PvP versions" button on skill lists would be an excellent idea, especially since the game's PvP has a strong following and is complex enough to justify it. -- AudreyChandler 20:37, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Pros

 * 1) Very useful
 * 2) Encourage PvP players to look up things on this wiki rather than the other wiki

Cons

 * 1) Very difficult to implement
 * 2) Not really a new thing that would encourage new contributors
