Task:Complete Armor
Status: In Progress Okay this task looks daunting but here's how we can break it down into easier steps. I've listed all the armor types according to the Armor Types page for each class. Where the list says Check ... Go to the page and check is all the information is there (for an example use Gladiator's Armor). If all the information is there simply come back here an place a line through the armor. If something is missing, come back, and change the Check to Complete entry for If only the image is missing, then strike the armor on this list and add a new entry to the Wanted Images list. Where the list says Complete entry for... go and complete the information in a nice table. Everyone got it? Alrighty, here we go then...--William Blackstaff 19:27, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Task:Explorable Areas Descriptions
Status: In Progress(??)

 * Areas that need descriptions/expansion
 * Regent Valley (Pre-Searing)

 * Please keep in mind in adding these areas I only checked whether they had a description or not (whether they were called description, overview, general, etc), not the quality or quantity of the descriptions. Some are one line entries and some a multi-paragraph entries (Admittly some of the areas can be describled in one line and some require multiple paragraphs).--William Blackstaff 19:49, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Task:Update PvP Department

 * We are rather weak in the PvP department. We need an experienced PvP player (that rules ME out ;)) to add detailed information about all the arenas, GvG battles, guild halls, the HoH fights, fame, rank, etc ... --Tetris L 16:42, 25 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Very much on this. However I could use some help from people with indept knowledge about the lastest GvG builds. Since I am also weak in the get pictures and upload them department, anyone spending the time to produce pictures for the new articles will be more than welcome. --Xeeron 02:25, 24 Sep 2005 (EST)

 * Also Searching which appears in search results. --Rezyk 07:49, 6 Oct 2005 (EST)

Some of these images are caps from the game. It's better if we use the large crisp images in the media kit from Guild Wars' site. --Karlos 20:34, 3 November 2005 (EST)
 * Updated the Conjure Flame article with an image. FYI Karlos, the media kits don't have complete images; for instance Ward Against Elements doesn't seem to be in the list at all, so this might not be possible for all of he skills. --William Blackstaff 01:58, 4 November 2005 (EST)
 * Thanks. I know that. It does not have any elites, it does not have some skills and it even has the wrong image for other skills (liek Holy Veil). But for the ones that are there, let us use them. --Karlos 05:44, 4 November 2005 (EST)
 * Added png image for Ward Against Elements, from screen cap. Cheers from a newcomer.--Krissy 14:22, 7 November 2005 (EST) P.S. I think the server clock is off. The timestamp says 14:22, Nov. 7, but I'm quite sure that it's 6 Nov., 22:22 (EST)
 * It varies with where you are, like me in the uk it's 6 hours wrong or something, you can set it in special:preferences 11:17, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Issues for Debate
How categories are handled, at Category_talk:Categories, as well as proposals for new skill categorisations at GuildWiki_talk:Style_and_formatting/Skills.

The "New" skill template: Looks the same, but changes the way it's coded at Template_Talk:Skill_New.

Last but not least, right here is the debate over whether this new page makes any sense. I'm going for a mostly informal style: This is, after all, a "Community" page for a relatively small community. Personal pronouns are the norm, first person is the view to take.

I was hoping somone would post an article on the various slang used in guild wars such as "LFG", "KD/AS", "Battery" etc


 * See Category:Slang & Terminology. ;) --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 23:16, 12 Sep 2005 (EST)

Quick page &amp; category links
On Wikipedia's main page there are some small links, linking to new pages and categories (see Wikipedia:Template:Newpagelinksmain), I find this useful; could we have a similar thing here? I converted it to GuildWiki flavour URLs here User:Skuld/new-links-testtpl --Skuld &Dagger; 19:00, 17 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I would like to see an overhaul of the Main Page completely. The page as it is at the moment does not really look very appealing, and overall seems a bit cluttered. If you look at wikipedia the main page is very clear and concise. 06:20, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I've made the change, but since this topic relates to the Main Page directly it should be discussed on Talk:Main Page :) 06:39, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * great =D ok. thanks for the tip --Skuld &Dagger; 06:53, 18 Sep 2005 (EST)
