"Imo its usefulness already pretty much got killed when the builds wipe occurred" Then dont look at it and leave the red links be, whatever... --- -- (s)talkpage 18:25, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Basically, I'm trying to make it useful again. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm going to make a bot to take care of this by rewriting the links to point to PvXwiki. The exact article may not exist over there either, but at least it will clean up Special:wantedpages without the need for a bunch of redirect articles.  (Why must you archive so much? >.>)  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 19:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright. I suppose thats a pretty good system really. It could just point (eg say somthing like "For builds see here. The Builds wipe cleared all builds, and moved them from GuildWiki to Pvx". Seem good enough? And Giga, You only just noticed? :P &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:14, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * What I was thinking was to take a wiki link like W/Rt UW Solo and just change it to W/Rt UW Solo so that I'm not actually changing anything except where the link points. There's no need to add a link to the buildswipe page.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 19:29, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not totally sure if we can do that, since a) Pvx: links, afaik, dont work- pvx:Main Page. Apart from that, it'd probably be quite a lot more practical to do that, though yeah, if you can get a bot to do that, it works well- Though it'll probably take longer, and more RC spam. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:31, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That PvX Main link worked just fine for me. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 19:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, I had no idea. Perhaps we should just link to the Main Page of PvX? Because most of those articles don't actually exist on PvX. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:36, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Just an fyi, im offline now. :p. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 20:14, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It would need to be pvx:Build:W/Rt UW Solo . Linking to the build namespace is important ;) Also, just adding one pipe at the end of an interwiki link makes the pvx: part not show.  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 20:18, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hm, I thought I'd tried that pipe trick a while back with Wikipedia links, but it didn't work. Either I didn't do it right or maybe that's one more little thing that got changed by Wikia.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 20:41, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Main Page seems to work fine.  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 20:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Since you're back
"Viper doesn't really care". Rong. I just have a social/emotional disorder which really gets in the way when I'm discussing crap. (hadn't read it before, missed it cause of archive) --- -- (s)talkpage 19:20, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Aha. Meh. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:22, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Me too. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:22, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Me three (and four) tbh, but meh. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

wiki drama
In the interests of avoiding wiki drama (which you are so concerned about that you feel it nessecary to hide discussions) I am hereby requesting that you do nothing to deal with the builds and stuff in the wanted pages at this time. If you have an idea, you can post it in the Community Portal for discussion. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 19:37, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Truthfully, what does that have to do with the builds section? That was just a spring point for the drama- It'll always get there. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If you'd really like to avoid drama, just stop taking unilateral action. Propose every single change before you make it. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That is so impractical that it is just.. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Ofcourse you wont need to propose to add a dot to some sentence, but the big things (like clogging RC with creating redirects to erase them from Wantedpages) should be proposed. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 19:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

small FYI about Commands
means it shoeld me moved to "Chat command". Note the lower case and singular form :) I'll move it for ya. --- -- (s)talkpage 15:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Bah *Poke*. anyway, would you mind getting on msn? I need to discuss somthing with you. And rik, if possible. And RT, but hes afk. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 15:10, 29 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Meh, suppose I can. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 15:12, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

o_O
What's with all the build pages?-- - (Talk /Contribs ) 15:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

um...
Why are you recreating the build articles again? I thought the consensus was that those articles were not needed. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 15:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I was under the impression that we'd agreed to post a direction to PvXwiki for builds? Isnt that what you were making your bot for? &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 15:37, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you alright with me carrying on with it? If not, I'll stop. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 15:38, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, the bot is going to edit the links themselves instead of re-creating the articles. And now I'm going to have to re-re-delete all those articles you just made in order for the bot to work.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 15:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry, Ish. I'd misunderstood what it was that you were going to do ;\ &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 15:41, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Anyway, apologies again, and if you think its disruptive behaviour, ban me. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 15:47, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * So I herd I was right.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 15:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * about.. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 15:49, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Replacing links instead of recreating them.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 15:53, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You never said to do that.. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 15:54, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I said we should instead link to the builds in PvX.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 15:56, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Link to the builds in PvX != Change the links to link to PvX.. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 15:58, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I won't even try to make you understand.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 16:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Purely for Knowledge reasons
Since I Already know theres about a 0 in 1000 chance of me being promoted, I want to know the opinion-

   Would May Make A Good Admin?

Yes

No

No maybes, please. &mdash; Warw/Wick 16:57, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

 * This is what RfA's are for. Haven't you had your fill yet? [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not gonna rfa again. I just want to know. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 05:29, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Stop spam
Get bot Random <font color="Black">Time  17:57, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You just said I could in MSN! :( &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 17:58, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * For a little, no more please, it's spamming rc <font color="Orange">Random <font color="Black">Time  18:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * +1. Could you at least do it when the wiki's dead, at like, 1 am PST? [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 19:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I have asked warwick to do these things:

edit as maybot, change edit summary and run at 1 per 15 (it's in the bot settings) <font color="Orange">Random <font color="Black">Time  19:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I would ask her not to do that until (unless) maybot is given bot status. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 07:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

kids these days...
"If no-one opposes this in the next 30 minutes", what the?? Back when I was responsible for proposing some massive changes on the wiki, I used tostirring up trouble for GuildWiki in terms of massive changes, I used to wait for 7~14 days, and was still considered a troublemaker by some.

If you want to blank your own user page, yeah 30 minutes of "if nobody opposes" is fine. A major action on the wiki that is a pain to undo deserves more than one day of notice, and a final 24 hour warning. The ability to learn from experience is part of the factors of "Would May Make A Good Admin?", and I hope you prove to be so, since you are an admin even if not on this wiki. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 19:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * D:.. I'm impatient though! At least this time I actually gave warning that I was going to do it :( &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I do see a positive step towards improvement, which is better than nothing (-: -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 19:54, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * :D &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:55, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Just as a note, I disagree with all of the reverts. Usually, if it has a picture, skills, levels and profession, and description, its not a stub. There might just not be any notes, and it might not have any drops that are worth noting (Eg special drops). &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:58, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've counted, like, twelve so far without skills and/or HM level and/or description. And at least twelve more without pictures.  zzz. [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 20:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Its called Bot Editing. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 20:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)


 * It's called "manual work" --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 20:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, its called Bot Editing. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 20:05, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Unless it has all the info from the Style guide, it's a stub. Please quit, unless you're adding in the info. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  20:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't run a bot to edit things that require judgement. It prevents fuck ups and a lot of RVing. Lord of all tyria 20:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not doing it anymore. Gonna use it for default editing, much faster and I get normal edits. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 20:08, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Botting
Just want to make this clear: if you are botting, use maybot if you are yourself use warwick <font color="Orange">Random <font color="Black">Time  18:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * We've discussed this on MSN, RT. I'm just using AWB to help. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Aka I'm checking to make sure I dont screw up totally. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:25, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Please wait for concerns to be reached, it may take more than a day - this is a warning <font color="Orange">Random <font color="Black">Time  19:52, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ish sez 1 day, I give 1 day. and you're somewhat saying it differently on msn. Stop the bluff, we all know its fake. :D &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 19:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Then I'll say it. If you act in a potentially disruptive fashion without attaining consensus again, administrative actions will be taken. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:55, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
