User box
Also, thought I might see if you liked this one I just made... it seems to fit almost anywhere: --Zerris- (talk) 03:19, 2 March 2007 (CST)


 * Woah, is that a serious screencap there? Who'd you need to fight to get a 4000dmg attack? And mind if I use this box? :D {Jioruji Derako} 04:48, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * Answer: yes, it is real. Guessing the damage source should be relatively easy if you can identify the background (or if you come over and check out the full image at my page...).  Figuring out how I got it up to -8,000 may be a little harder. Incidentally, it was an entry for a contest I'm holding on my page. if you can get a higher damage number (w/ screenie), come over and post it! As for borrowing the template, feel free.  Just please leave the  bit, so I can feel all proud. =) --Zerris-[[Image:ZerrisSig.jpg]] (talk) 05:43, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * 8000 dmg is an old trick and no one has got past it yet. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 06:09, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * The meaning of that being? Since I think I can beat it, it'll just take a bit. All you need to beat it is a boss who can critical for over 670 dmg, and I think both The Leviathan and Mallyx can do that. --Zerris-[[Image:ZerrisSig.jpg]] (talk) 06:13, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * I wish you luck on that one! --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 06:15, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * Well, given that all Canthan/Elonian Bosses are x2 dmg, I stand a chance at getting it. --Zerris-[[Image:ZerrisSig.jpg]] (talk) 06:32, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * Eh, luck sucks. I'm going to just test as many skills as possible in a scrim, and see how much damage I can deal that way. {Jioruji Derako} 06:18, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * The idea is to have the largest possible sum of damage in one number, not in total from many numbers. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 06:21, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * Oh, I know. I wonder, what effect would 25% Armor Penitration have on a character with a total of -40 armor?
 * And thanks a lot! you picked the perfect time to move that discussion to the bottom of the page. (just as I clicked the edit button, that is.) Took me a full minute to find out where the heck everything went. :D {Jioruji Derako} 06:26, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * Well, my hint to you is that I bet you can't find a single skill (that isn't Sacrifice/Grenth's B) that'll do > 200 dmg to a 60 AL target. So try thinking just a little bit harder and you might get it. =) --Zerris-[[Image:ZerrisSig.jpg]] (talk) 06:29, 2 March 2007 (CST)

No more Campaign ?
Just want to make sure, so no more campaign for Gem icon? --Gusnana1412 13:05, 02 March 2007 (GMT +1)
 * No. I would appreciate people for removing the user boxes. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 07:01, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * Aw... I was happy with having bragging rights, and now this icon will probably be all over the place :( &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 07:10, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * I still hope it wont. I didn't change my thought on the use of the icon although I stopped the campaign. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 07:14, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * Even though the campaign end, would it be possible to keep the nogem icon available to use? at least for some members that still want to show appreciation for supporting the nogem and will not use your gem icon? --Gusnana1412 15:46, 02 March 2007 (GMT +1)
 * There is no reason why you cannot keep the support gem userbox, even though the campaign is over, the thought behind the userbox is still viable. &mdash; Gares 10:35, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * Just a simple job of removing links in the userbox that go to the campaign, or possibly re-wording the userbox (perhaps something like "This user believes that personal icons should only be used by the person they are designed for", or something of the sort). {Jioruji Derako} 22:08, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * Both are fine to me. :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 02:20, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Signature coding
Alright, I've been messing around with my signature... this new one is quite pretty. Unfortunately, it takes up about three/four lines of coding to make... I figured out a way around this by creating a template in my userspace (it works, too). Unfortunately, when I set this as my signature, it adds a SUBST: tag in there, which sticks all four lines of code whenever I sign. Is there a way to get around this tag, and just do the template link as my sig? I'll put a link to both of them here, so you can see the diference when you edit (I'm not going to be using this sig until I can figure out how to keep it small).

Direct template link:

Actual signature: J i o r u j i D e r a <font color=#237d00>k <font color=#156500>o.> 20:09, 3 March 2007 (CST)


 * You are not allowed to use temps. without subst:ing them in your sig &mdash;[[Image:BlastThatT.jpg]]Blastedt 20:32, 3 March 2007 (CST)
 * alright. Is there possibly another way to shorten this coding? (just pretend I've got a working signature here) 20:34, 3 March 2007 (CST) &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jioruji Derako (contribs).
 * Dont use it? &mdash;[[Image:BlastThatT.jpg]]Blastedt 20:36, 3 March 2007 (CST)
 * Yeah yeah, I suppose that's best. It is a bit silly to spend this much time simply trying to make a signature work anyway, and I don't see any way of making it non-disruptive. Thanks anyway... <font color="Green">{Jioruji Derako} 20:43, 3 March 2007 (CST)
 * Take a picture of the signature, make the background transparent and use that? &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 20:54, 3 March 2007 (CST)
 * Yeah, that's probably what i'm going to do. In that case though, I might as well just make myself a decent picture for a sig instead... <font color="Green">{Jioruji Derako} 21:23, 3 March 2007 (CST)
 * Well, I've gotten myself a new signature, with a small icon instead of the fancy-coloring idea. I still love the fancy colors, of course, but unless a new way to add the colors pops up, this will do. :D --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] <font color="#237d00">Jioruji Derako.> 00:59, 4 March 2007 (CST)

 * There's nothing like using Gem's Talk Page as a GuildWiki Help Forum ;] &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 07:51, 4 March 2007 (CST)
 * Welcome to the Offical GuildWiki Forums! :P but seriously, Gem is usually one of the better people to send questions like this. And of course, if he can't answer it himself, there's usually at least five other users patrolling his talk page. I guess the downside would be the fact that Gem rarely gets the chance to be the first one answering a question on his own talk page... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] <font color="#237d00">Jioruji Derako.> 08:13, 4 March 2007 (CST)
 * Actually, I used to be the one who always answered stuff on other peoples talk pages. Now I'm trying to cut down on my wiki time for Kalomelis sake so I can't even answer stuff on my own talk page so quickly. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 09:16, 4 March 2007 (CST)
 * well, yeah, but not to mention, everyone else has this...

Gem has new messages (answer for him).
 * hehe... I just really wanted to try out that code, to be honest. :P --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] <font color="#237d00">Jioruji Derako.> 09:45, 4 March 2007 (CST)

GFDL
I know that the GFDL tag stuffs user pages into a category, but for people who have specific exceptions, do you know if a note under the tag be honored? Fyren's user page somewhat shows what I mean, though that involves public domain. ~ Pae 22:56, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Scams article
Gem, I'd like to go ahead and move List of popular scams to a better name (and hopefully, after that, do some major cleanup), but before I do I have a couple questions. Would "Common scams" be a better new name than "List of common scams"? I prefer the shorter name myself. Second, when I move the article, do I then need to move all the subarticles separately, or do they move automatically with the main article? And last question: I'll leave a redirect at List of popular scams for now, but should I also go through and edit all the links to it manually? With the exception of the main page link, which I guess I need to propose the change at main page editcopy, is that right? Thanks much! — HarshLanguage 11:45, 6 March 2007 (CST)


 * I like the short version Common scams. You need to move sub pages manually. And you need to update all links to the new article. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 08:20, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Thanks Gem. The only links left to the old article are on talk pages or in the user namespace. Obviously I'll leave the user stuff alone, but what about the talk page links? Normally I wouldn't even think of editing other people's comments... but is it done in cases like this when an article has been moved? I appreciate your guidance! — HarshLanguage [[Image:qswearing_small.png|HarshLanguage]] 13:25, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * I saw the moves being done, so have already made the update to the Main Page.
 * On user pages, those can be left to the old redirect. As the page existed under its old name for so long, many people may still key that name in the search box, so I think we should keep the redirect that was created from the move.  As long as the redirect remains, the user page contents will still forward to the new location. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:34, 7 March 2007 (CST)

Ideas
It's just some ideas. What do you think about it? I can start a project page for thoose if you think it is good ideas. I may need some technical help but i'm ready to do as much as i can for it.--Ttibot 21:42, 7 March 2007 (CST)
 * Guild pages : What about adding adding a guids category wich would autorize guilds to make pages from them on the wiki? Guild would then be able to have a page where they can use links from the wiki and create builds with the wiki syntaxe. Guilds made builds would have a specific flag then it can be listed in page. This would fullfill the database and others users may send commentaries. I know that any ranked guild would never agree to share it tactic if they are still using it in PvP but PvE and non ranked PvP guilds could come in.
 * Translation : Many GW players are low english speaker and there is no equivalent for the wiki in foreign langage. What about adding translated pages on the wiki. All pages could have a link wich redirect to a translation in foreign langage.
 * Sub ideas for translation (if technically possible) :
 * Having thoose pages under GFDL liscence could help on exchanging with others GFDL sites.
 * Get an option wich will replace all translated pages when openning by the foreign langage equivalent if they have been translated. well, I don't think that it is possible but that could be fine.
 * Get a build syntaxe wich allow to make a build with the skills and professions in foreign langage. If the skills and professions are in the same category than english ones this would not be necessary. If they are in a different category the skill bar should specify that they have to be find in the foreign langage category.
 * Firstly make a page with all boss names, weapons, skills... translated from english to foreign langages could help on translation making.


 * Thanks for sharing your ideas, although GuildWiki talk:Community Portal would have been a better place. I'll still answer your suggestions here.
 * Foreign language wikis exist allready. I can't remember urls, but I'm sure you'll find the german and french wikis with google. ANet has also started an official wiki of their own and they will also make foreign versions later on.
 * Guild pages have been discussed earlier and been disallowed. In the new official wiki users decided to allow guild pages in a guild name space. Builds should still be kept separate from the guild section. If you want to start a discussion over adding a guild section to this wiki, feel free to ask my help and I'll help you with it.

 * Ehhhmmm... What was the problem? I didn't quite understand. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 06:02, 10 March 2007 (CST)


 * Blacktide Den was, for some reason, listed as a subcategory, and when you clicked on it it gave you a category list of all the monsters in the blacktide den mission. Seems like someone fixed it before you got a chance to see it, though. --Armond Warblade (talk) 12:27, 11 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Ah, I understand. There are categories for all missions and explorable areas which include all of the NPCs, monsters, bosses etc which can be found there. The category Category:Blacktide Den (Mission) was incorrectly added in the Nightfall missions category, but Kryasante fixed it. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 13:26, 11 March 2007 (CDT)

[[Image:Wingsthatheal-icon.jpg]] "Wings"
Does this build look good or even work?

Basicly use left to right until Repeating Strike then just spam that for 0 energy. If you get blind use Signet of Malice to remove it. use for PvP for basicly spiking casters, even spamming Repeating Strike on Melee's or Rangers. "Wings" 08:23, 12 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Why are you asking me? I have never played an assassin, and I don't play PvP. Could you please also always put your sig on the same line as your message, not make a new line for it. The sig policy sais that. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 08:39, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
 * And don't spam multiple talk pages with a large skill bar. Next time create a page in your user name space for the build and just give a link on the talk pages. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 08:42, 12 March 2007 (CDT)

fine then i didnt spam pages either. -- "Wings" 08:44, 12 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Atleast one other page on my watchlist. Sorry if I accused you wrongly. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 09:13, 12 March 2007 (CDT)

without the dots in between. -- "Wings" 07:55, 15 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Well, you are allowed to do almost anything on your talk page, but editing other peoples comments is never allowed. Ofcourse this is a bit weird situation, but I would say no personally. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 14:07, 15 March 2007 (CDT)
 * You could move it to a sub page, like User talk:Wings That Heal/Guestbook or similiar. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 14:08, 15 March 2007 (CDT)
 * thats to much cause then people have to goto a different page, sign, then come back to do what they want and most people wont sign it. -- [[Image:Wingsthatheal-icon.jpg]] "Wings" 19:50, 15 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I was thinking the same thing... hm. What if you made a seperate page for the guestbook, like Gem said, but keep, like, the last ten slots on the talk page? For example, when someone signs the number 39-ish spot, you take all the signatures, move them over to the guestbook page, and restart the numbering at number 40. That way, you keep it easy for people to sign, you keep it short, and people can just click an easy link if they want to see the full guestbook. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] <font color="#237d00">Jioruji Derako.> 23:08, 15 March 2007 (CDT)

thx that might work, i just didnt want people to have to go to a whole new page just to signt hen come back, cause if you look at 3/4 of the people that took me guest book have it on a new page and they only have like 10 sig's at most. -- "Wings" 23:13, 15 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, I would definately just keep it on the main page, and move the older signatures to a seperate page. So it keeps it nice and easy to sign, but doesn't take up all that space (also, you wouldn't have to worry about editing people's comments). --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] <font color="#237d00">Jioruji Derako.> 23:16, 15 March 2007 (CDT)

Just having the sig and/or date would make it look a lot cleaner and beta. -- "Wings" 23:33, 15 March 2007 (CDT)

im not sure that even works cause it wont count from 40+ it will start all over from 1 agian. -- "Wings" 23:35, 15 March 2007 (CDT)
 * hmm, that's right... there's probably some sort of coding you can use to set the numbers manually, I'll look into it. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] <font color="#237d00">Jioruji Derako.> 23:37, 15 March 2007 (CDT)

ok thx. -- "Wings" 23:38, 15 March 2007 (CDT)

Gem, would you be able to ask the other mods or whatever you call them, if its ok do delete the wording before the sigs and dates in my guest book on me uer talk page, since they are not comments (only random sentences with 0% meaning) and its my user talk page, thx. -- "Wings" 05:26, 16 March 2007 (CDT) Finally got it all sorted out my guest book is up and running. -- "Wings" 09:48, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

However, I was wondering whether there is some kind of ballpark cut off point at which my nomination starts being seriously considered by the current Admins or if it is just the kind of thing that is played by ear. <font color="DodgerBlue">Defiant Elements (talk ~ contribs)

Also, I would like to point out an instance of GW:NPA being violated. It is actually on my nomination page.... an anon user writes: "Hes an asshole in-game." Since I don't appreciate being called an asshole, I was wondering whether I could get a ban or at least remove the vote. <font color="DodgerBlue">Defiant Elements (talk ~ contribs)


 * The decision is made by the bureaucrates. It's a sort of dictatorship. If one of them thinks you should be an admin, they have the possibility to make you one. If none of them want to, then you wont be made one. There is no rule that they need to follow. They can even promote a random contributor if they want. ;)
 * I wont strike the vote, but as the decision is made by the bureaucrates anyway, they will obviously not let such votes make their mind about you. The point is what kind of image your actions and the votes give, not what some random guy thinks. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 03:42, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I wasn't worried about a single vote effecting my chances at adminship, I just don't appreciate being called an asshole. <font color="DodgerBlue">Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * I understand. :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 03:44, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Hmmmm... so more likely than not, my nomination will be decided by Tanaric and/or Lord Biro. <font color="DodgerBlue">Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * Correct. :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 03:56, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, it is 4:05 am where I live, I think it is probably time to go to bed and stop staring intently at Recent Changes and GW:RAF. :) <font color="DodgerBlue">Defiant Elements (talk ~ contribs)
 * Just as an FYI ... both the new anon posting at 58.169.49.176 and the one used earlier by Solus at 138.217.165.69 come from IP ranges registered to "Asia Pacific Network Information Centre". --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 03:59, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

message from Jagre, regarding builds policy
I think Tanaric is like George Bush, and we are like the American people.

I do not think he should have ultimate power over something like that. I do think the question was framed with an edge. If nothing else, the guildwiki builds section should be copied and pasted onto another website, along with it's vetting procedure (although the process (including voting, etc. should be explained more clearly before a user is able to post one). I think it is steadily moving towards perfection.  I am about to check the vetting procedure for possible improvements.

 * Hi. Tanaric and the other sysops and bureaucrats in the wiki have dicator-like powers, but they have never been misused and I don't see a sweep of the builds section as misuse either as most of those that commented the talk page were supportive, me included. As stated many times, people have 4 weeks to save any builds they want into their user name space, after which everything in the builds section will be swiped and the new policy comes into effect. We are not going to permanently remove the section or harm the wiki in any way, we are just going for a fresh start with a working policy. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 05:44, 19 March 2007 (CDT)


 * George Bush? Does that constitute as a personal attack? -Silk Weaker 05:49, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

report of malicious behavior
i'm sorry to be doing this... the user, barek just banned me for no reason. He violated the "revert wars" policy. please look at the Meleemancer page for proof of this. My edits were beneficial to the article. His original "revert" was absolutely unwarranted. he said that it was because I linked to a meleemancer build on the meleemancer page. When I added the part on strategy again without the link, as well explaining myself (after also explaining myself to barek and receiving no response) he reverted it back again and IP banned me. He should be banned and demoted from the role of admin before he causes further damage to the community.

Please look at the article and the edits made. They are constructive and not anything close to a "personal essay." His actions, IE banning are personal attacks. This is an open page and each user is entitled to fair treatment. Fair treatment towards him would be banning him.

 * After a quick glance it's you who first broke GW:1RV, though Barek did it too. You contributed, he reverted, you reverted the revert (breaking 1RV) and he reverted your reverting of the revert (again breaking 1RV). I'll look at it more carefully after posting this message, but your going too far with your ban and demotion suggestions. One revert against the rules and a possibly poor ban are no reasons to demote and ban someone who does a lot of good for the wiki. (Besides, if someone banned him, you would deserve a ban too for the same crime) Most users break a policy once or twice, especially when spending multiple hours in the wiki every day. If I don't spot anything relevant in the contributions when looking at the details, I suggest to forget this incident. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 16:50, 19 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Ok, I looked through the article history nad the block log. Both of you violated GW:1RV, but only once before stopping, so neither of you deserve a ban. Bareks ban for you was out of place since he was involved and also broke a policy, so I'll post on his talk page about it. He reverted the ban quickly, so no action needs to be taken. Otherwise this was a small incident which you are making a lot larger than you should.
 * This is the second time today you post on my talk page to suggest (directly or indirectly) removal of powers of a sysop/bureaucrat, although you hardly know the users and their contributions. I suggest taking it more calmly and taking your time to get to know the wiki, the contributors, and the wiki etiquette. This is not work for any of us, we don't get paid for it, so let's take it calmly. I appreciate it that you held a proper tone in all of your posts unlike many other newer users who feel violated. I hope you'll enjoy your time here. :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 17:35, 19 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Forgot one thing: The text removed by Barek should not be in the article imo. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 17:39, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

Need some arbitration on Build:Mo/E_Sliver_renewal_55
The author has removed the delete tag (twice) on claims that his build is different enough from other 55 builds because it uses Glyph of Renewal and 2 open slots. --8765 17:04, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
