GuildWiki talk:Improvement project

Added Improvement
Can someone go through and make a new section for weapons that do not have counterparts that can be made with pieces? Example is Gorrel's Staff. I've been looking around and making note of unique items found in quests, but it would be nice to have someone else help and start a section and a template for unique items so I can contribute my findings easily. I'd do it myself but I don't have the time. Thanks. Stexe 23:13, 24 February 2007 (CST)

General
Btw, should we add the template to the article page instead of the talk page? Or maby both? -- (talk) 18:39, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * The Article, or both (but probably the Article). The talk page is a bit too elusive. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 18:53, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * I'll put it on the article page of the current one. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 18:55, 9 January 2007 (CST)

This is going nowhere. Zero edits to the two articles that have been selected. How could we promote the project? -- (talk) 03:08, 11 January 2007 (CST)
 * Put it on the main page at the top? In the blue box that was used for important announcements? (Last one was, that we hit 10,000 pages) Currently, it's at the bottom, and if nobody Watches the main page, I'm not surprised that they didn't saw it. Oh, and I think we should, at least until the project gets more popular, increase the time the articles are featured. It would be good, if your Admin nomination was finally over, so you could edit the Main Page yourself :( &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 05:22, 11 January 2007 (CST)
 * I was thinking of leaving the current article for a few more days untill we get more popularity. Yes, someone should put up the notice box on the main page. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 05:46, 11 January 2007 (CST)

I'm still leaving the current article. The project ahsn't gotten much popularity. :( -- (talk) 07:39, 17 January 2007 (CST)


 * Well this seems like a Wikipedia thing, but really we have Community Portal, is there any need for this? --Jamie [[Image:Jamie.jpg|24px|(Talk Page)]] 08:04, 23 January 2007 (CST)


 * The community portal in't well suited for listing major articles which need urgent clean up. If this project gets some morepopularity, it will be very usefull. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 04:51, 24 January 2007 (CST)


 * Well then, it seems the best idea is to advertise this on either the Community Portal or the main page. I'd suggest a boilerplate is in order for the community portal at the top, something catchy which might aspire to those looking for something more than the Community Portal but don't know where to turn. Not to sound overly sappy but... really I think a Wiki community project is like a never ending quest where everyone has their own ideas on how they go about reaching their own goals; whether it be fixing up armor pages, tagging bosses as need SoC Confirmation or just general spell checking. What I mean to say is everyone has their focus and what their "comfort zone" is as far as their contributions to the wiki are. I guess you could consider this project page to be the "guild hall" in a Fable sense in this analogy but really that is over romanticising things. :) --Jamie [[Image:Jamie.jpg|24px|(Talk Page)]] 07:15, 24 January 2007 (CST)


 * More advertising for this project would indeed be welcome. Would you like to take care of it? --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 14:31, 24 January 2007 (CST)


 * The Community Portal article has been needing a navigation template of some sort at the top for quite some time. Many people suggest it every time a new issue comes up - but so far I haven't seen anyone propose anything more than those initial two "Welcome" paragraphs.  I've never really focussed on the creating one myself; but a navigation tool of some sort would help at the top of that page.  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 14:37, 24 January 2007 (CST)

Change
How about changing the idea of the project a bit? Instead of only selecting one artticle as the improvement article we would just collect important articles which need improvement here. When a user adds an article here he should then explain what need improving. Articles which need only minor improvments should not be posted here. If no one disagrees within a day or two I will make the necessary changes. -- (talk) 09:34, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * /agree. Good point, no-one is voting unimportant anyways, because articles aren't likely to be posted here without a serious need of updating. namnatulco 13:43, 3 February 2007 (CST)
 * I did the change. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 02:26, 5 February 2007 (CST)
