 * You considered taking strategy/PVP-build articles anywhere? Maybe off the main page? - Fennec 08:20, 25 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Maybe we can have a category called User Submitted Builds or something like that? --Thundergrace 13:29, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I really dislike discussing strategy here so we don't get articles like that, don't get into arguments about builds, and don't get utterly subjective. --Fyren 18:15, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Does anyone know why some pictures work in the preview but not when the page is saved? For example, Tanzit Razorstone's page doesn't display the picture I uploaded, but if you click edit, then preview, the picture displays correctly. --Caspian 12:34, 13 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I would guess it's a browser issue, since that image displays for me (and Morgriff's also does), but the image on Artemis the Ranger doesn't (for me). Anyone else have any ideas?  --Fyren 02:48, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I think it is a browser issue, because all 3 of those above mentioned images display for me. It seems if you save the page before uploading the image, the issue will sometimes occur. The images should display for you if the articles are changed. --Thundergrace 07:41, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * For Artemis, I was neither the author nor the image uploader. I mentioned on the talk page for the article that the HTML is fine and references the a thumbnail that exists.  --Fyren 08:02, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Yes, I think it's an issue with the cache in Firefox. I flushed mine and the images worked fine.  Thanks.  Caspian.


 * Anybody found a way to create image links in Wiki, i.e. when you click an image you're not sent to the image page, but to some other (specified) page? --Tetris L 16:44, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Well... I read the documentation and it seems all you can do is make the image page a redirect. It's a pretty poor solution, but it seems to be the only one.  The problem is that you get the usual "redirected from" message at the top AND you get the image after it (full sized).  See User:Fyren/Test for an example.  The image redirects to User:Fyren.  --Fyren 18:15, 14 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * It looks like everything that is offered by Taltosh in Grenich Courthouse is now also offered by Captain Osric in Yak's Bend. Anyone want to confirm this?  It looks like Osric's skill list will need a full update and like every skill that's offered by Taltosh will need it's aquisition updated.  I don't think I got a full skill list, I just checked the Elementalist/Ranger skills then had to move on to help a friend.  I'm happy with the way things are now, though, with having to update both places.  Whenever I go to a different site that lists skills (such as guildwarsguru.com), the first question asked after a skill description tends to be, "Wow, where can I get this skill from?!?111thousand"  It's also really handy to see what skills are offered in a given location.
 * That's right. They changed skill trainers in the summer update. All trainers in cities now have all the skills from all outposts after the last city (i.e. the trainer in Amnoon Oasis has the skills from Maguuma Stade and Fishermen's Haven in addition to those he always had). Not all traniners/skills have been updated with this information yet nad the Trainer locations list needs to be updated, too. --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 18:02, 19 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * The Skill Trainers now follow the same pattern as the Priests of Balthazar. See Faction. We need to update the Skill Trainer pages and we have to check the acquisition details of many skills. Lots of work to do. Damn ANet for this one. :) --Tetris L 18:20, 19 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * The grim reality of multiple lists with the same information. Woop dee doo! :) --Karlos 18:47, 19 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Yeah, we should dump these list alltogether. All the information is already in the acquisition details of each skill. The user would only have to click through 469 skill pages to find out where he can get each skill. Woop dee doo! ;) --Tetris L 21:30, 19 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Yes, exactly. I never use those lists myself. All I do is to enter the name of the skill into the search field. I rarely want to know where I can get all skills. Usually I'm only interested in one skill at a time. ;) Before you get me wrong: I don't say those lists are useless. All I say is I don't use them. But I definitely think two lists (Trainer Locations and Trainer Locations Table) with the same content are one too much.--Eightyfour-onesevenfive 21:52, 19 Sep 2005 (EST)
