Breaching of GW:1RV, I'm not allowed to revert again, could you have a look? Thanks. I'm not asking for a ban as I only just warned him, just for reverts. –Ichigo724 16:49, 1 April 2007 (CDT)

Fyren, What are your character names? I want to personally show you that you are wrong. No offense, it's just that i KNOW that Suneh Stormbringer has Lightning Surge in HM.WrathZilla 15:00, 13 June 2007 (CDT)

Flourish comment
Why was my comment that flourish recharges pet attacks removed? Most things that work on attack skills do >>not<< work on pet attack skills. There was even a question on the talk page about it. If it's about the validity of the note, I tested that before adding it (Not a fifty five 19:15, 2 April 2007 (CDT))
 * Everything that works on attack skills works on pet attacks. --Fyren 20:01, 2 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Really? so if someone put splinter weapon on me and I used pounce it would trigger? (Not a fifty five 20:03, 2 April 2007 (CDT))
 * Only if your character hits with pounce, which he will not. --Fyren 20:03, 2 April 2007 (CDT)
 * See:Chant. The majority affect attacks... but not pet attacks. --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]    20:06, 2 April 2007 (CDT)
 * The issue is not that they don't affect pet attacks. Your character uses an attack skill but doesn't hit anything.  --Fyren 20:16, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

In any case, if this is true should I put a note about it on attack skills? Neither states that things working on attack skills work on pet attack skills. (Not a fifty five 20:19, 2 April 2007 (CDT))
 * Pet skills are listed as a subtype of attack skills on that page. --Fyren 20:22, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

the last revert on Template:Pestilence
While the anon shouldn't have changed it, what's the point of reverting it? It feels even more pointless than reverting an edit that changed color to colour, since in the case of the template it makes absolutely no difference except by reverting you make the server do more work. -User:PanSola 00:10, 4 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Isn't the whole point of you writng the JS to make it easier for people to use the templates? Fixing screwy whitespace and placement of the pipes is the same thing.  --Fyren 02:22, 4 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Umm, I didn't realize those are considered "screwy whitespace and placement of pipes", and I didn't realize they make it harder for people to use templates. I've now file those two pieces of information for reference, though without comprehension. -talk 18:50, 4 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Yes, tabs are screwy whitespace when in most browsers hitting tab is going to cause focus to change to the next element in the browser rather than inserting a tab. How many spaces a tab equals is not set in stone, so when someone tries to get things to line up with spaces, it might not line up for everyone.  Moving the pipes to the end is probably going to be confusing for people when they don't understand what they actually do, so uniformity is probably most important there.  --Fyren 19:00, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

how do i get to the sandbox to make a new article?
 * Sandbox. And I think we should put a link to it from the main page, no new user will ever find it otherwise. --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]    09:46, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Bot action request
I would like to request a bot that change all template calls where a parameter assignment ends in a newline to pipe-terminated. The only exception should be when the newline is intentionally to be part of the parameter assignment, though I doubt such cases exist.

Rational: We all know that MediaWiki treats double \n\n as a , but discards singular \n. What is subtle is the point that when you make a template call, and end the assignment with a newline, newline characters *might* be included in the assignment.

Use the following as an example:

param3 actually contains a newline after "Bye", and also includes the comments on the following line. Nesting of templates may also add unnecessary newlines under certain circumstances. If additional newlines are introduced elsewhere (either by design or accident), the consecutive \n's will end up rendering a   In the past (on GuildWiki) such issues have been encountered and usually worked around by formatting the templates themselves to avoid the effects of any included newlines, but it makes the template code harder to read and debug. I was going to just phase in the pipe-terminated convention slowly, but since you do have an argument for consistency, I would like to request a bot to systematically hunt down every template on GuildWiki for which consistency matters and make sure parameter assignments are not new-line terminated. -PanSola 09:11, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * While we have had problems involving finicky newlines and templates, this isn't one of them. In your example, param3 doesn't end up with a newline and the comment.  The comment is stripped out early in the MW's parsing and discarded.  Also, whitespace surrounding parameter names, pipes,  equals signs, and values gets stripped out.  If you make template foo containing the following:

param1: param2: param3: param4:
 * The above call will render as the following:

param1: Name param2:  param3: Bye param4: Weather
 * It will all be on a single line (besides maybe what the second template returns). --Fyren 19:05, 5 April 2007 (CDT)

Parser Function
Can you tell me if the parser function is enabled on this wiki version. It does not seem to be working as evidenced here:. If it is available and just not enabled how would one go about making a request to get it enabled? Thanks. Glamtre 12:37, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I'll update our PF later tonight. Our version is from before the time function was added.  --Fyren 19:06, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Thanks, I'll watch here for you to let me know when to test. Will this update all PF's that have been added since the last time we updated? I noticed some newer String and Dynamic functions along with Variable Extensions listed on WikiMeida. As you can see I have turned into a Wiki junkie in short order and I'm already running into technical limitations of what I am trying to do in my User ns.  I want to see what is possible before I unleash some of my ideas on the greater GW Wiki community.  Thanks again! Glamtre 20:00, 5 April 2007 (CDT)

Erm yeah, Gaile was at the beta testing last night were you? It was officially confirmed, thats why we were allowed to see it, hence the screenshot I took and posted as evidence!

It is beta testing, that is why the public are testing it. Alpha is contained within Anet and all information is classified. Would they honestly show us something like rank15 if we all were told to keep quiet...I think not!
 * You miss the point. Nothing they show you is guaranteed to make it into the game the way you see it.  If ANet staff tells you so, then it's worth posting.  --Fyren 04:31, 11 April 2007 (CDT)

Overriding default Javascript functions
Is there a way to override functions defined in /Skins/common? I tried [User:PanSola/monobook.js|this]] but it didn't seem to work. (in this particular example, I want to by-pass the tag/style-stripping behavior that the default javascript performs, since it's unnecessarily messing up formatting). -PanSola 00:19, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

Complement Multiplication?
Hello Fyren, I've seen you post in a few conversations about damage calculations etc so I'm hoping you or someone who reads your page can answer a question that I can't seem to find the answer to on the wiki. I'm just wondering if anyone has determined the exact calculation for chance to miss when a foe is hexed with multiple hexes such as Reckless Haste, Spirit of Failure etc. Does it matter what order the hexes are applied? Do the percentages add up through simple addition or through complement multiplication like HSR? And can you also remind me on how complement multiplication works? I feel like I understood this at some point but can't recall. Thanks! -- BrianG 12:51, 12 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Multiply them iirc. –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 18:37, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

Monster Skill revert
I believe he was referring to the environmental effects found in The Dragon's Lair, on the stage with Facet of Elements. They don't actually belong in the article per se, but it is true that they don't actually have a Wikipage all their own. (T/C) 01:08, 28 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I don't particularly think anything you can't see being cast by someone should be called a "skill" as opposed to an effect or environmental effect. I've tried to bring this up in the past in various places (like Category talk:Non-player skills) and no one's cared much.  --Fyren 01:26, 28 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Hehe, that's because there is a line between being totally correct in Wiki-mentality categorization, and being specific to the point of obfuscation. For the same reasons it would be silly to make a Category:Endangered Species for obscure things like Blue Skale, it also does not make much sense to have every conceivable category under the sun: Environmental Effects, Non-player skills, Monsters skills, Unknown Caster Skills, Non-Environmental Effects, Effects...etc etc. Too much classification confuses the average user and works against the original goal of making the Wiki easier to use. As such, you have to draw the line somewhere...perhaps it is to lump "anything you can't see being cast by someone" as a "skill", perhaps not. I'm all for classification as a means to facilitate ease of finding information. But different people interpret "ease of finding information" differently. And that's where all our Formatting nightmares come from. :(
 * As to those particular effects in discussion, I'd lump them under Environmental Effects, just as the other Aspects are (Domain of Slow for example). [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:46, 28 April 2007 (CDT)

 * Foreign players are not going to backtrack into newbieland in order to buy a skill when they can get it in Kaineng. It doesn't make sense to list Shing Jea or non-Kamadan Istan locations alone.  --Fyren 14:02, 28 April 2007 (CDT)

Dragon Arena
The section is tips for winning, and by far, that is the worst tip. Playing arena for so long, I've seen too many teammates ruin the game by clicking around for "speed." Too many novices end up leaving openings or not guarding teammates because they're so preoccupied with clicking. Hence, I do not think it should be there as it hampers the purpose - winning. I left it on and made a note due to your complaint. xskyzhighx

On a different tournament page, "There is a Cow Level" yet on the one you linked, "Time Is Running" and "Rise In Superior Competition."

Editing bots project
I thought you might be interested in the editing bots project, which is intended to centralize requests for bot edits. -- Gordon Ecker 19:31, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Opinion sought; Armour/armor pages
New pages (eg, PvP reward) are of course all linking to lower case articles. Many articles (such as Warrior Sunspear Armor) have not yet been moved. Which is the most sensible course of action:
 * Moving the article and updating links
 * Marking the article as "{ {move|...} }", then updating links
 * Editting key pages that link to article, then moving article
 * Wait for a bot to do it

I've been doing the first option, and was critized for not fixing the pages that link to it first. (Which I found odd, as you would actually be breaking them until you moved the article they reference).

Doesn't bother me either way, but I thought it best not to tread on any more toes. --BlueNovember 18:52, 27 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Move and then (if you want to do the extra work) fix the old links and tag the redirect for deletion. The other way around makes no sense, as you said, since it breaks links.  The move template is just to try to get peoples' attention for discussion.  As for bots... dunno.  I'm not sure who else would care to run one and the software I used for mine broke with MediaWiki 1.9 apparently.  --Fyren 20:18, 27 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Just want to point out that I didn't mean "change all the link before moving the article". It was about changing the link then move to the next article because at that moment many people were moving the armor page and marking the redirect for deletion.  I was just warning everybody so we don't end up with page linking to deleted page.&mdash; ├ A ratak ┤  20:52, 27 May 2007 (CDT)

 * I see. Notes like this must be posted, because they point out synergy with other skills. You cannot assume any visitor to have any level of experience (there are beginner’s guides here). Finding synergistic effects is a basic task of the game itself and any results must be posted with the according skills, otherwise the articles will remains stubs. --Hatch 08:17, 31 May 2007 (CDT)
 * He wasn't talking about expecting a level of experience, but seeing as nothing in the game tells people that two attunements don't work, why should we try to convince them they do?

Crap...that will teach me to look a bit closer at things. -_- Sorry for the screw-up

Guest List
You and anyone reading this might want to take a look at This Page. If you ever need a guest for anything just message someone from that list, or if you find yourself not getting your daily helping of PvP add your name to the list. Hopefully it will keep gaining popularity until everytime someone needs a guest, they turn to it first (after their friends list). Next time you're in a group and need 1 more but cant seem to find one, think about it =) VegaObscura 01:55, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

OBwiki MediaWiki 1.10.0
Thanks for upgrading OblivioWiki to v1.10.0! Parser functions also have been working. :-D --<font color="#00008b">theSpectator talk 00:20, 12 June 2007 (CDT)


 * I noticed a bug when using IE on Obliviowiki and Hammerwiki - the bottom bar starting with the license logo seems to float across the middle of the page. Looks fine using firefox though. -- Pendrako 02:42, 13 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Fixed, but since Oblivion is using our squid cache, some pages may be cached with the missing closing div that caused the problem. You can ?action=purge those pages as you come across them if you want, but eventually they'll work themselves out by themselves.  --Fyren 03:03, 13 June 2007 (CDT)

About the signature thing...
I was trying to get it right..but i couldnt so i gave up ill just use the standard user name signature... - Chrisworld 13:14, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
 * What you need to do is save the image to your hard drive, then reupload it to the wiki with another name such as "ChrisworldSig" and then redirect that to either your userpage or talk page. Lord of all tyria 13:21, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

Dual icons
Are you going to implement the dual icons in the skill box sometime? -- Xeon 13:59, 22 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm thinking about what to do with template:skill icon and the QR. I don't particularly like the QR showing two.  I've got copies of the skill box in the sandbox that show dual icon and generate progressions.  --Fyren 18:53, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Did you see what I came up with for the QR that shows two? I don't really think it appropriate to show just one. As a Luxon, I will never be using the Kurzick icon and it would be harder to recognize in the QR. I'm still not sure about the template:skill bar and template:mini skill bar. But I think template:skill icon could be side by side. At the moment though, I don't see a reason we can't show both in the skill boxes. where I've been testing stuff. We could also maybe do something where what icon it shows depends on the user's allegiance with category:users/Guild Wars/Luxons but that's kind of complicated and probably would be silly.&mdash; ♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 19:15, 23 June 2007 (CDT)

I must have had a browser error, because every time I looked, the spelling changes I had made did not appear. I didn't even realize that information was deleted!

GuildWars
Hi, I tought you could answer my question, because ur mr. computer-know-all. My pc can't play Guildwars in a normal way, I am always having laggs. Is there a way to solve this in game? Or is it my pc? &mdash; Shady Guy   08:47, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

time from server
I was creating a few scripts when i came across a little issue. returns the current time +1 hour from GMT, which im guessing is what timezone the server is set to. Next returns 1:00pm but +5 hours so its true value is 6:00pm and reading over the mediawiki articles, it should not be doing this. Also the server time returned from {{#time: is out of sync with the world clock by +12 minutes, which i expect is the normal problem where computers go out of sync, but 12 minutes is rather large, would syncing the server cause issues? Anyway thought you would like to know about this stuff. -- Xeon 12:59, 6 July 2007 (CDT)


 * assumes times given to it are local unless otherwise specified. It also returns UTC times unless you give it "r" or "c" for a format:


 * {| border=1 style="border-collapse:collapse;"


 * ||{{#time:h:i A|13:00}}||1 PM CDT is 6 PM UTC
 * ||{{#time:h:i A|13:00 CDT}}||same as previous
 * ||{{#time:h:i A|13:00 UTC}}||1 PM UTC is 1 PM UTC, heh
 * ||{{#time:r|13:00}}||r outputs local time because behind the scenes PF is using a different PHP function
 * ||{{#time:r|13:00 UTC}}||1 PM UTC is 8 AM CDT
 * }
 * I also changed the server clock which will undoubtedly cause strangeness in recentchanges and page histories. --Fyren 19:03, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

js
Most likely will be a no but is it possible to enable a js file for a single article? Was reading up about js in wiki but i can only find information related to defining the wiki globally to accept js. -- Xeon 09:14, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Sort of, but the JS will be included on every page. The body tag (or something, too lazy to check) has either ID or class page-Page_Title, so you can check for that.  You can use that freely in your personal JS, but I dunno if we'd want it site-wide.  What did you want to do?  --Fyren 16:42, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Wrap content entries like Necromancer elite skill locations and have a drop down to show entries of only one campaign at a time depending on what they select. If you have to make it global to do that, then there is no point. -- Xeon 02:20, 23 July 2007 (CDT)

Ranger Stepping
Regarding the Wiki entry Ranger Stepping: this term is fairly new, and has really never been coined before. For I mainly contribute Running Builds over at PvXwiki now (see My Userpage), I didn't quite realize that this entry has been deleted from the GWiki database. I would ask you to reconsider the deletion of this entry as it has become an efficient running techniques for advanced PvP, and PvE runners. It would be a loss for GWiki to leave out an aspect of a game only because it is not an official term, etc., coming from the developers of this MMORPG (but after all which term would be official). A demonstration of it can be found here: Veoh Video. &mdash; Luobailong   (talk|contribs) 13:57, 7 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I don't see why the information can't be incorporated into the kite article. Ranger stepping is a misnomer, as it can be done by anyone with a speed boost, as the D/Mo in the video demonstrates, and the capitalized article name goes against GW:ULC. -- Gordon Ecker 19:22, 7 August 2007 (CDT)
 * As my delete reason said, there is no evidence anyone uses the term. Whether it describes something useless or something invaluable is irrelevant.  --Fyren 01:48, 9 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Ranger stepping was first introduced by the Ranger back then. Therefore Ranger stepping. It was believed that only stances with evasion could be used to further increase the evasion factor. However, it soon came out that any running stances can be used for quicker deaggroing (and evading) PvE enemies by zigzagging which affects the enemies moral as if you would run in a dozen turns. &mdash; Luobailong  [[image:Luobailong_sig.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 09:33, 9 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I suggest adding it as a section of the kite article then proposing a split. -- Gordon Ecker 17:31, 9 August 2007 (CDT)


 * If that is allowed: I wouldn't want to spend time on writing/modifying the Kite article if there is no common consensus with the result that it would get reverted anyway. &mdash; Luobailong  [[image:Luobailong_sig.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 11:38, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
