Reorganisation
I am trying to reorganise the armor information pages to make each page unique and useful. I moved the section on maximum basic armor stats to basic armor and the section on special event headgear to headgear. I replaced these sections with links to those pages (as placeholders). If there are no comments in the next few days, I will delete the placeholders. The reorganisation will include: Any comments are welcome. Thanks. --Glynnis  17:10, 25 January 2007 (CST)

 * Armor (rating)

 * Headgear


 * I want to replace the bullets in the table with links to the quick references using the star icon. The star is so pretty and isn't used officially for anything.  See my attempt below.  I created a new temple to do this (Template:Navimg). Please tell me if it's too confusing or ugly.

 * Does anyone have any advice on formatting? I don't like the borders inside the the "By Profession" column but I don't know how to remove them.  :( --Glynnis   16:08, 29 January 2007 (CST)

Armor Poses
I'm not certain if this is the best place to discuss this, but there's been a recent tendency to take screenshots of armor in a some "at attention" pose. While this does take a lot of work to do and it does create a uniformity, please consider the following. In a clothing store, they often pose the clothing on a mannequin to create a loose, fashionable feel. It's true that if the poses were stiff and uptight, it wouldn't appeal to the eye as much. Every piece of armor that is posed in this "/attention" emote is suddenly rendered dry and undesirable.

I'm all for uniformity, but it is my opinion that, if we are to start posing the armors the same, we could probably choose a better pose. And that's just my personal opinion. I'd be more than willing to help on the alternative to this. --Cyann 11:06, 15 February 2007 (CST)
