Talk:Guild Wars Glossary of Terms

Do we need this?
Not wishing to rain on anyone's parade here, but doesn't the Category:Abbreviations and Category:Lore lists already provide this information? --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 03:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I guess it does, but wouldn't it be good to have it all in one unified section, rather than having to click all of the links on the Category page? But this would turn out to be one hugely long page if all of the GW abbreviations had their own definitions. --Teh Cannon 04:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I'll fix it up. And ill change it froma Dictionary to a Glossary of Terms.Fire Tock 13:52, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

K just added in a few more definitions.Cool Bow 05:48, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

How many terms do we put in here? For example, Tombs is the tomb of the primeval kings, but searching Tombs takes you there. Should it still go here?

I say we put in...Around Everything?Fire Tock 16:14, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Btw Cool Bow, I think the Glass arrows picture is too big.Fire Tock 16:15, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Names
Hey guys, I was thinking. I know that we can spot what the name is by it's category and it has : after it, (my idea) but what if we made all of the words bold? I was looking at the E category and i saw Energy and the description then i looked down and the next line was really confusing, i didn't understand it. Then i noticed that the second line was another word. So maybe we should make the names of each word bold so that people don't run into that same problem again.Fire Tock 02:11, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Common abbreviations
More stuff to add

"See also" vs direct explaination
Some entries simply have "See also" to an article. My question is, when do we use this "See also" and when do we provide an inline explanation? Just about every single terms listed here has their own article. And if they don't, they probably should. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 23:39, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I believe "See also" should be used when the explanation of a term is long and complicated, more than a simple entry of a few lines. For example, to explain "WTB" is short and easy. But to explain "Balanced" is a bit more difficult. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 06:07, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Spolier
hey, Guys i was thinking, I just added in DoA to the Glossary and i thought this was a big spoiler to people who whavent completed Nightfall. So maybe we should add in a spoiler to the top of the page but saying....Fire Tock 14:33, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * How does that spoil anything in prophecies, factions and GWEN? it's got nothing to do with them. but I agree that it's spoiler. Spoilers should get a small section at the bottom, like the skill aquisition of Hundred Blades. Oh, and by the way, what it says at DoA is not correct, you've already defeated abbadon, and simpely continue to whipe out his generals.--El Nazgir 14:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm so arry about the abbadon thing. Forgot. But also i'm guessing there will be spoilers. So just suggesting ahead of time.Fire Tock 23:12, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Umm. I ran out of ideas and time. Someone please save this. Just because i created this doesn't mean you can't work on it.--‎ Fire  Tock  14:33, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll put it on my list of things to do. Which means it will get done. Eventually. :P [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 18:38, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

WWT, WWS, WWB
I learned that those meant willing to not wanting to, very minor difference but if someone is bored it wouldn't hurt adding, if I did it someone would just delete it :( Lost-Blue 22:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Don't see many people saying willing to buy a tormented axe though--[[Image:Chris1645.JPG]] 22:16, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I do.. Lost-Blue 22:21, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Why would you say willing to buy as opposed to want to buy?--[[Image:Chris1645.JPG]] 22:24, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Want to buy sounds like your selling it, Want to buy some gum, lol and I persoannly think wanting sounds rude like, I want it now, as opposed to willing, I am willing to take it now, and i just say willing. Lost-Blue 22:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh i get what your saying and now you mention it, it does sound kind of rude but WWT is still not commonly used in game.--[[Image:Chris1645.JPG]] 22:32, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
