Talk:Community news

Needs more formatting and divs. I like divs. 13:22, 9 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Congratulations, you now have an invisible div that does almost nothing. :P &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 13:29, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Those are the best kind of divs. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 13:42, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Stuff
So after bouncing ideas off Wyn for a little while, I've come to following conclusions. I'd really like to see community news become a big area for GuildWiki, and coordinating with Guild Wars Guru would also be very smart for us because we'd get lots of Curse support and hopefully new contributors too. So I'm going to start watching the events forum on guru and pestering the posters there to add their events to the wiki too (or let one of us do it). Maybe I could get a sticky in the forum too. I'd also like to create an Event namespace, where every event has its own page, and then the central page (right now this article) would be similar to GWW's featured articles, in that each event would have a header, an image, a short blurb, and then the "... See more here" dealio. Maybe we could steal their formatting too, if no one here has better ideas. Events would be removed from the central page a week after they've occurred (just an arbitrary length, open to discussion).

Do people think this is feasible, or too ambitious? And who would be willing to help facilitate it? 16:01, 12 March 2011 (UTC)


 * what would you do in the case of multiple events at the same time? (it's unlikely to occur, but it's certainly a possibility). Phenaxkian 16:52, 12 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I like the idea; promoting community initiatives is essential to the vitality of the community. There are some great ones that have been run in the past and more advertising never hurt anyone. Guild Wars Guru would love to collaborate and coordinate with you on this - we'll be in touch! JennGuru 00:53, 13 March 2011 (UTC)


 * During the "busy" season (just finished) there are often concurrent events, but I'm sure it can be dealt with. Felix, how were you thinking of integrating this on the main page? -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  07:39, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
