User talk:ST47

Hi there, it's good to see you throwing yourself into GuildWiki editing but you need to take a look at some of the Style and formatting, in particular Style and formatting/Quests. You change two links in Track Down Lo Sha, from XP and Gold to two piped links XP and Gold (ie XP and Gold ). You see that from the style guide they were originally correct. Strange because I noticed you created Style and formatting/Guild Halls so I guess you just forgot to check the style guide for quests first... If you want some more hints on the particularities on editing the GuildWiki, have a look at my user page. Thanks. --Xasxas256 18:07, 9 July 2006 (CDT)

sorry about that - I had no clue what i was doing - I just assumed that the links to redirects are bad hey do you geeks have some guide-page with links to all these styles and formats and emplates? lol ST47 18:23, 9 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Hmmm looking over a few more of your edits, I've noticed you've changed gold to gold in a number of places, if they're talking about gold it should be a link to gold, piped links don't need to be used very often, if you're talking about money, the link will normally be money not gold (also note that you don't need the capital letter). Actually a lot of your piped links are "incorrect" changes. E.g.:
 * Hero Window to Hero Window : the in game term is Hero Window


 * level to level : too wordy, an unnecessary piping, if people see the word Character level wikified it should 99% of the time go to a page called Character level. Also the capitalisation is wrong.


 * mobs to mobs : nobody says mobile objects, if the reader is unsure of the term they can clink on the link, that's the whole point of wikifying it and


 * Global Tournament to Global Tournament : Global Tournament is the correct term


 * As a final point, if you have want to wikify collectors, use collectors not collector.


 * I'm just trying to save us some work, it's always good to have enthusiastic editors but it'll annoy both of us if I have to keep reverting your edits ;) That long list might seem like I'm ripping into you but I'm not, I'm trying to make it as clear as possible to you why I think some of your edits have been made in error, there's no point in me saying "you stuffed up" and giving no reason, it's important to say why as you seem keen and I don't want to discourage you. :)


 * If you're about to go on a crusade (e.g. creating a huge number of piped links) you should check that you're doing the right thing and it's what people want. There's over 400 quest articles that say gold and not gold (IE gold vs gold ), if you start to add piped links you have to be consistent across all articles. Over time we've agreed on how we want things to look, I know it's hard if you've just come on board recently but have a look at the relevent Style and formatting guide and look at other similar articles. If you've got any questions, sing out, we're always happy to help and have a look at my user page, I think it's a really good place to start (but hey I'm biased) ;) --Xasxas256 18:31, 9 July 2006 (CDT)

my we are fast today...hmm - the collectors - i wanted to have that 's' marked to - it looked bad - piped - is piped = a link to a redir or is piped = a link to a crazy named article with the | thing caps - I used the same caps as was in the target article - is it better to move the target article so the capitalization is correct? and the hero window vs whatever it was - why is there an article named hero panel?ST47 18:36, 9 July 2006 (CDT)
