GuildWiki_talk:Builds_wipe

About

 * This is a petition I am starting to at least postpone the May 1st build section wipe until proper discussion can be made and by a fair number of each side of the argument.
 * This is in no way supporting one side or the other but meant to show support to a pause on the Builds wipe until more users are able to have a fair say in it.
 * This is meant to encourage more discussion by members other then the major players of the build section, to promote a more wiki like community working on the build section behind the scenes. Please discuss improvements on the popper pages. Links to popular build issues.
 * This will fail if users do not help contribute, this is not meant to prove or define the future but to show support and redirect to improvements in the build section without wiping it or to continue with the wipe, depending on the opinions of users who get more involved.
 * Please try to find ways to either stop the build wipe or reduce its effects once it comes.
 * This is a long overdue attempt to get more users other then the same faces involved in the discussion.
 * Feel free to edit this page as you see fit but I will remove anything that is irrational or contradicting.

Petition
Please keep lengthy comments out of list so that it is easy to discern and read, discussion can go on talk page or better yet on policy pages where it may have greater effect. This list is to show support of members who disagree with the build wipe for whatever reason. Signing can be done by typing: ~

 * 12) Will be striked on two things: 1) Approval of either NOB or PNB, and 2)Dicernable action on the wiki as what to do with the build section following the wipe. Until we do those two things, it will be a tad ineffcient to wipe right now (e.g., Way 1st), because it will leave too many questions unanswered. Otherwise, I am in full-hearted support of the wipe.--Nog64Talk [[Image:Yaaaay.png|19px]] 19:27, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

 * 17) --Chrisworld 00:18, 4 April 2007 (CDT) Guildwiki has made a big mistake, and will lose users. Thank you for providing me with a great site for almost a year that i have been using it but can i still let you keep my thank you, guildwiki? We will see. Can't Guildwiki be left alone? comon people sign this petition!!!!
 * 18) --Trippster19 07:35, 4 April 2007 (CDT) : I was dismayed to see that one of the most useful areas of this site will be removed. I hope you will reconsider or at the very least lock the builds section until a better way to manage it is determined.
 * 19) Shas&#39;o Kauyon : I am actually not surprised to see this happened, as since I'm a wiki-lurker, I had even read the conversations (IE: Auron proposing a build-wipe, used to have it saved, but thought that the Wiki wouldn't be foolish enough to actually go through with it), when they were sprouting.  I can also fully attest that nearly all commenters on it were those who supported the removal of builds from the Wiki.  I do not know if I will bother to use this wiki much longer, even though I also know I will not be missed due to my lack of contributions.  I sincerely hope that the administrators realize how horrible a mistake this is.  Should you want to bring up the "You should have known months ago, it's YOUR FAULT!" watch the intro to the movie version of A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for me, please.
 * 20) I support. There is NO reason WHATSOEVER to remove the Tried-and-True PvE builds from the wiki. 74.225.107.220 10:28, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

 * 26) Another lurker here. While I do feel thatsome improvements could be made to the current build vetting process, I do not think that the currently proposed policy is a viable alternative. Area 54 08:15, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * 27) SolesI'm also against this wipe because if the wipe happens half the people we're with will have some bad builds so maybe we could work this out. 18:48, 5 April 2007 (EST)
 * 28) I dont think wiping the section is the answer to everyones problems Torment 13:26, 9 April 2007 (CDT)
 * 29) emperorjaganglee builds are the main reason i use the wiki. please find a way to keep them
 * 30) Hyrule Master --- The builds are a great help to me, and I'm sure to everyone else. Instead of wiping the builds we should make a new way to vet new ones. And if we can't delay the wipe, someone should post all the builds in the list onto their own use page.
 * 31) &mdash; Ali ( talk )  08:50, 12 April 2007 (CDT)
 * 32) I support, yes the build section does need an an extremely high amount of help, but what are we doing right now? As of now all builds are being copied and pasted into user pages (which will be annoying as you shuffle from user page to user page to find the old builds you enjoy), and they are going to be the EXACT same thing when the builds section reopens. As if nothing changed at all, and as for the builds section, yes they are attempting to fix it up but the main thing is they are still arguing over what to do. I know they will make a new way/policy to carry out builds but who knows how long that will take, days, weeks, months? We don't know because each person will have their own likes and dislikes about methods, which can make it very difficult to reach the point where everyone agrees on something. But that's just my own opinion, as everyone has their own. Wyvern 18:10, 12 April 2007 (CDT)
 * 33) I don't want the builds to be wiped, they are a great resource Antz191 08:16, 15 April 2007 (CDT)
 * 34) Not that it makes much difference at this point... --Armond Warblade (talk) 00:47, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
 * 35) This is the best build resource on the net, dont destroy it! --Kickside 01:20, 18 April 2007 (CDT) (oh, and fur is murder)
 * 36) Removing the untested and stubs and so on builds would be great but what about the tested builds? The ones that work well? Don't remove those! --Mgrinshpon 09:02, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
 * 37) I'd certainly love to see the builds section stay, or locked and converted to the new format. It's the main reason I use this site.  --Jatara Blackheart 19:04, 25 April 2007 (CDT)
