Talk:Daily forecast

I wasn't really sure what to title this, but I thought it would be good to have a centralized forecast table for all of the daily stuff they've got going on now. Especially since I revamped the main page to only list the current stuff. I'd thought about putting it in the GuildWiki: namespace, but wasn't sure if that would be appropriate, since that is supposed to be meta-info about the wiki, not info about Guild Wars. If anyone has a better idea on what to call this, feel free to move it. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 22:06, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

On a separate note, is it possible to add the day of the week as well? Its not that I or any other user would be incapable, but it would certainly speed up the process of planning ahead to do certain missions or bounties.--Ascalon Destroyer 04:44, June 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Done. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 12:58, June 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Awesome job on this page btw Kaede 13:31, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

time note
I fixed the TZ offset in the date display. I don't know whether it should be noted that for a given "day" (line), what is listed is what it is for the most of the day. That is, for Sandford, it changes FROM what is listed to the next one (at night time, anet time), and for the rest, it is what it changes TO what is listed on that line (in the morning, anet time) 71.146.64.149 00:10, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Great page!
This is an awesome idea. GJ to all who made it happen. &mdash;Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 18:31, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Two oddities

 * 1) On the Quick access links page, this section stands out; it's the only data that is on the left margin & the only table without a container box.
 * 2) It's also missing one of the non-static FedEx/Bounty type quests, Nick the traveler.

Would anyone have objections to updating the forecast so that it's (a) centered/boxed and (b) includes the Nick data? (naturally, Nick T would show one item for up to 7 days and "unknown" for the remainder of the forecast). &mdash;Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 18:41, June 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * IANAGD (I am not a graphic designer), so do with it what you will.
 * Nick the Traveler is weekly, and we have no clue where he's going to be in the future yet. This is a daily forecast, so adding him would contradict both parts of the page title.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 18:57, June 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * heh. Cool. Wasn't sure if there was a strong reason for the current look.
 * Eh, I disagree (yah, it's not "daily," but it is a useful (and missing) part of Quick Access). However, unless there's strong support from others, I'll drop the suggestion.
 * See below (shortly) for a mocked up daily forecast. &mdash;Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:34, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Mock up: centered
Here's a mockup of what the daily forecast could look like centered, with a similar boxed background to the others on Quick access links. Although both pages linked below are in my user space, peeps should feel free to edit them. I'm terrible with colors, so I hope s/o else can adjust to look nicer. &mdash;Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:43, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * For the Quick access links it's a good idea to color it, but I don't think it's such a good idea to have it colored over here, though it would work. I think the lower font size will synergize well with the improvement made by User:Llandale. I don't think a centered view is necessary in either way, however it would fit the style. Conclusion: color [[File:Cookie_Tick.gif]] center [[File:Cookie_Tick.gif]] font size [[File:Cookie_Tick.gif]]. Simply the empty line between the "updated on"-message and the table should be deleted.
