Build:E/A Gloom Farmer <-- this one. Someone grab it, or i'll lose it &mdash; Skuld 05:31, 18 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Krowman has it. Nab. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 05:32, 18 March 2007 (CDT)

DE, if you could not add builds to the list, remove them ,re-add them, it would be much appreciated. It'll save time for everyone in the long run, as I went back and backed up some of the ones you pulled from your list, only to have you reinsert them. Thanks in advance m8. - Krowman (talk • contribs)  16:14, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

We should add at least one WoH Monk and one Orders Necro, unless I missed them. --   16:42, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Also a Vermin Farmer --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]   16:48, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I don't think we have a very good Orders necro, but I'll double check. You could grab a WoH build if you wanted, but they're not all that great anymore, and may not make the cut to the new policy. I know I grabbed at least one Vermin farmer though; see my list. - [[Image:Candle.jpg|12px]] Krowman (talk • contribs) 16:56, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Build:Me/N Fast Casting Orders. I nabbed it, we can use it for historical reference. We should have an N/Mo and a D/N around here somewhere though... - [[Image:Candle.jpg|12px]] Krowman (talk • contribs) 16:59, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * My favorites were Build:N/Mo New Orders Necromancer and Build:Mo/Me PvE WoH Monk. --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]   17:25, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

Build:R/E Tainted Flames should be here. Was favored for a very long time, but fell out of the metagame due to certain skills. I think it should be archived.--Nog64Talk 17:02, 20 March 2007 (CDT)

Attribution
Doesn't the history have to be preserved? &mdash; Skuld 17:11, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Wouldn't that inheirently require moving the page itself? --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]   17:12, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Is there any way to move a page, without losing the original? Sort of just "clone" it. I'm not sure how it works, but possibly moving the page, then reverting the original location might work (providing moving the page doesn't clear the original's history). --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 17:45, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
 * History, eh? Possibly. I'm fine with the build and maybe the talk page, but mostly the build itself. If the build is/was FotM, no history really needs to be preserved, as the current version is usually the best one. However, if you're concerned about preserving authorship/history of who edited it, then yeah, we'd need to Move pages at some point. But meh. Builds have that silly RAB stuff, too reminiscent of old policy. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 17:57, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I don't care, but doesn't it violate the copyright licence not to? &mdash; Skuld 18:03, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
 * How so? -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 18:21, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Actually, he has a really good point. The Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike agreement clearly states that the work has to be atrributed by the author or licensor. I'm going to bring this up with Tanaric before we wipe everything, we might have to avert this, or at least really re-organize it. - [[Image:Candle.jpg|12px]] Krowman (talk • contribs) 01:55, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

THanks for saving my only vetted build from destruction, Krowman. =P Caramel Ni 18:36, 27 March 2007 (CDT)

I'm also currently saving all the vetter paragon PvE builds + a few select team builds to my Userpage, if you want to add that.Caramel Ni 18:53, 27 March 2007 (CDT)


 * You can't stop the build wipe, merely delay it. "Hear that, Mr. Anderson? It is the sound of... Inevitability..." Agent Smith - I mean, Taneric - probably will figure out something. worst come to worst, it'll just be the responsibilty of the build's creator to back up their builds. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 04:05, 2 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Tanaric* -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 04:06, 2 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Don't correct my only way out! If Tanaric gets pissed, I technically never reffered to him by name. :P --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 04:08, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

How to "Save" a Build
Ok, so let me see if I got this straight: If I want to keep a copy of my builds, I just go up to File, Save Page As..., create a folder probably, hit Save, and boom, I'm done? (If that's all, I've got the Build:Team - CoS Spike build. You know, since HA is up to 8 again, and Rits FTW. :D If not, please correct me.) BarGamer 03:28, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

pre-made
I'll do these, They need to be kept for history and for good inspiration  ~ Soqed Hozi ~  16:15, 9 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Good plan. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 16:16, 9 April 2007 (CDT)

Proper Moving Procedure
So if I want to preserve the page history, I need to Move the page. But that will involve removing the build from the Builds section. I know everything's getting wiped anyway, but that's no excuse to mess up the Wiki (sort of a "the world's going to end anyway, let's loot everything" mentality). So I'm double checking before I do anything; is there any possible complications if I move a build to my userspace? I'm the build's original author, for what it's worth. (Build's Critical Fox). -- Jioruji Derako.> 15:53, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Create a "history" section on either the article page or the article talk page (archived* article) and list every substantial contributor. As long as that history is preserved, everything should be fine. We can't "move" the page manually, but this is the next best option. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 18:08, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
