character template
FYI: Your template has been moved to User:Glamtre/Character, as it's a user page template and not a site template. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:54, 5 March 2007 (CST)

FYI
Item mods are never listed in the title here at guildwiki. &mdash;Blastedt 17:33, 27 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Could you be more specific? Glamtre 17:40, 27 March 2007 (CDT)
 * he probably means we don't have an article for Barbed Ascalon Razor of Enchanting, only Ascalon Razor --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 01:16, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I did figure that out. My point to the original change was that the items in question were from the pre-order packs and, although some of them had mods in their description that were in fact unique items and should be treated (from an article stand point) the same as Green items.

 * inerta is a real concept on a wiki. the Nevermore Flatbow was a preorder item back when the prophecies campaign was "guild wars: comming soon!". you'd need a compelling reason to move 2+ years of history --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 01:45, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Agreed, most of my frustration is in the poor search engine on MediaWiki sites. It can take several minutes to find an article you know exists. I am fine with the redirect solution. My only remaining question (from a process point of view using this incident as the example) is that since a Move creates a legacy redirect is is better to Move the article to a more descriptive name that more closely matches existing standard or create a the new page with the more descriptive name and add a redirect to the existing legacy page?

 * I agree with having articles named the same as the unique pre-order item, and not have them be redirects to a generic name. These are unique items, they do not have salvageable mods - the proper name for the item just happens to have a mod name in it.  To me, this is just as deserving of having the article named the same as the weapon as is Kepkhet's Refuge, Icy Dragon Sword, or Drago's Flatbow. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 10:50, 28 March 2007 (CDT)

Sunspear
The correct name for it is really "Sunspear" but since that's got multiple articles vying for the name, the article is "Sunspear (weapon)." The mods aren't part of the name but we have redirects with the mods to help searchers. --Fyren 17:41, 27 March 2007 (CDT)

preview
please use the show preview button, you're spamming Special:Recent changes. thanks --Honorable Sarah 01:17, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I use the preview button extensively. The "spamming" you are seeing is multiple edits to different data pages (not spamming by any definition) along with template development (maybe this appears as 'spamming' but there is no recourse). Please educate me if I am wrong, but as I understand it the only way to develop and test a template is to save it, hence multiple small incremental changes to the same page.  You can not preview a template to see how it works because the calling page (even if the call is on the page being developed) will not pick up the change until the template is saved. If I am missing the point or could be making my changes in a different way please let me know.  Glamtre 17:05, 28 March 2007 (CDT)

Characters
Enough characters? Talk about obsessed..03:16, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I've seen more... I know one person who has 4 GW accounts, all with expansions on them. --Lania Elderfire[[Image:Pinkribbonsig.gif|My Talk]] 00:52, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I only have these two accounts, any more than that and I would no longer have a job! -- [[Image:Axe-icon-left.png]]  Glamtre [[Image:Axe-icon-right.png]] (Talk) 19:33, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
