Babel template

I tried to include a template for my native language (Afrikaans) and realised it doesn't exist yet. If there was a Warrior here he would probably say "You're All Alone!" XD. Can someone please tell me how to add another template to the babel thingy? Thanks in advance... Silver Sunlight 15:59, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

I created the Category:Users/Language/af-N page myself, I tried to do it correctly, so please fix if it I didn't or tell my how and I'll do it myself. Silver Sunlight 07:53, 14 March 2007 (CDT)

Spreken Zuid-afrikanen ook Nederlands? --SigmA 16:26, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

Nee ons doen nie :) maar dit is baie dieselfde, dit het daaruit ontstaan. Jy kan my verstaan en kan jou verstaan... Die verskil is net dat ek is die enigste Afrikaanse user op GuilWiki 0_o Edit : if you didnt understand : No we dont, but its very similar, it origanted from Dutch. Silver Sunlight 16:34, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

Ik kan het goed verstaan, maar het klinkt een beetej gebrekkig Nederlands.. --SigmA 16:39, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

Wat is die Engelse woord vir gebrekkig? Silver Sunlight 16:42, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

A bit incomplete, you are talking Dutch like a 5 year old kid :P --SigmA 03:27, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

Lol... I'll just take that as a compliment :P At least im unique, i'm the only registered Afrikaans person on GW Wiki yay Silver Sunlight 07:23, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

Pletterpet, hysbakkie, amperbroekie, are those Z-Af words? --SigmA 07:39, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

Well hysbak is a lift, but pletterpet and amperbroekie just sound strange and are definitely not Afrikaans words that I know. Why? Silver Sunlight 07:41, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

It was on a commercial in The Netherlands, and they said it was South African, but they lied! --SigmA

07:42, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

Wait, let me check the dictionary... Pletterpet doesn't exist, but pletter is "it is destroyed". Wow amperbroekie exists lol, it is hotpants. It translates directly into almost pants :P but they are definetly not common words we use. Silver Sunlight 07:47, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

Any user who contributes is useful, just dont revert any changes made to what you have posted. If you revert a revert you are also going past "only revert once". As I said before, wiki is only for facts not phylosiphical debates Silver Sunlight 06:24, 14 September 2007 (CDT)

Phylosiphical debates are straight out, I agree. However, I think philosophical debates could be useful and important. Esp. where the mass slaughter of millions of mobs unable to defend themselves is concerned.--66.28.139.242

Troll all you want in talk pages of the articles where I don't have to see it, but don't start on my user page. If you care so much about the mob's pixels, then name your next pve character "I Hug Monsters" and stand next to them as they kill you. Silver Sunlight 06:33, 14 September 2007 (CDT)

Hidden Caltrops

You reverted my edit this page as an anon (I assume it was you) putting the notes I removed back into the article. The reason I removed them was because they were from before an update to this skill. Before the update, it only crippled a person if you hit them while they were moving. Since the update removed the "while moving" part, those skills have no special synergy with Hidden Caltrops. It would be impractical to put "Works well with Bull's Strike and Shameful Fear" on every skill that causes cripple. --Macros 20:35, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

"Full: For 20 seconds, the next time target foe takes damage while moving, this hex ends. When Hidden Caltrops ends, target foe takes 15...63 damage and is Crippled for 5...17 seconds." As far as I can see, the damage while moving part is still there. When was it removed? Because if it was, the template is out of date. It clearly states that the foe needs to be moving for the cripple to trigger (I know it also triggers on removal, but not normal attacks). Silver Sunlight 22:25, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

O sht, disregard me then :< --Macros 02:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Heh, I agree...

"but the fun thing about PvE Monking is -> SMITING". Healing and protting is so overrated :P I generally carry an Axe to battle and Decapitate monsters. Build ->

Monks, backliners? Naaahhh. Oh, and Ray of Judgment is rather cool. Too bad it's recharge is SO long :< --- -- (s)talkpage 11:44, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I actually have Ray of Judg(e)ment on my skill bar right now :P I've always had dreams of an Arcane Echo Ray of Judgment spike in HA. Silver Sunlight 11:52, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Haha, I myself have AEcho'd Ray, too. It just happens to hurt the blue bar a lot. Perhaps I shouldn't be stubborn and should use Auspicious Incantation... or some other insane energy management. --- -- (s)talkpage 11:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Glyph of Lesser Energy-> Ray -> Auspicious Incantation-> echoed Ray -> Arcane Mimicry on ally -> ray and then everyones dead! 8 monks, 16 smiting prayers, 3 rays : 110 * 8 * 3 = 2640 Silver Sunlight 12:02, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Dont you mean Arcane Echo, rather than GoLE? Anyways, that'd be a slow spike. But could spike 3 different targets :> (btw, it's better to assume 12 or 13 smiting :P Sups in PvP fail, and you need some heal/prot, too) --- -- (s)talkpage 12:08, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah should have been Glyph of Lesser Energy-> Arcane Echo ->Ray ->etc... I don't care about healing or prot lol, just wondering what the ultimate ray spike would be :P Silver Sunlight 12:13, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

You can't have GoLE along with Arcane Echo and Ray :P Mo/Me/E ftw --- -- (s)talkpage 12:15, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

True... Don't spoil my dreams >_< lol Silver Sunlight 12:20, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

If you really try and find them...

there are so many minor mistakes hidden on the wiki. Spelling and grammatical errors, outdated information, useless information etc. I feel like I'm making a tiny dent in it all. I have done a lot of skill note purges/rewrites and did some editing on the guides as well, but it never seems to stop. I hate being a perfectionist! Silver Sunlight 14:48, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah well, every bit helps :D Keep it up. --- -- (s)talkpage 14:54, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

-- † The Falling One© 16:37, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Ja, dit is baie dieselfde ;) I can understand Dutch (most words anyway), but it's easier to read than it is to understand when someone speaks it to me haha... Silver Sunlight 17:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Het is echt bijna het zelfde :P But arn't there many people in South Afrika who play games because your the only one (i can know) who is from Afrika. (Kind of lonly so hope you don't mind me writhing :P) -- † The Falling One© 18:21, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

You would be surprised! I know a lot of people that play online games, maybe not Guild Wars specifically, but they are there if you look hard enough. There are also quite a few South African guilds in Guild Wars, I'm actually in one at the moment. Silver Sunlight 18:34, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Ow nice. It sucks when there arn't many people of your own country :P -- † The Falling One© 17:30, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

A brief explanation

Entropy promoted User:M.mendel to sysop earlier today. Auron subsequently gave up ownership of the gwiki IRC channel. Entropy banned herself for a week, unbanned herself to ask User:KyleH to have the bureaucrat flags removed from several users including herself and Auron, and then banned herself infinitely.

I do not wish to spread bias, so you'll have to draw your own conclusions. 08:19, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

So did Auron disapprove of Mendel's promotion? Silver Sunlight 08:23, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm trying really hard not to make any judgments, start any fights, or cause any drama here. See this link: GuildWiki talk:Requests for adminship/M.mendel#Closing. 08:29, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

/Sigh

People take things too seriously. I realise that maintaining a Wiki is a lot of work, but why get so upset over minor details? If the adminship for R. Phalange (I think that was his name...) was accpeted, surely Mendel's can be as well? Unlike Phalange, Mendel has made some major contributions to the wiki, even if some of them are rather strange (haha acorns). But like you said, we shouldn't deliver judgement, especially me who probably doesn't know the full extent of the story. Silver Sunlight 08:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I fully agree with you. It saddens me that people are so quick to make such "final" decisions. Some things can't be taken back. 08:57, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

How many...

Yeah, for those uhh.... "colorful".... descriptions, check Rellik's contribs. It's rather ugly --Gimmethegepgun 11:43, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Haha I've heard it was him who gave their descriptions a face lift. I guess I'll go through his contribs some time. It's fine that people want to make the wiki fun, but when we allow humour in the articles, it's difficult to tell people when enough is enough. Eventually every page will be crammed with stupid jokes. Silver Sunlight 11:46, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

deleting "old skill versions"

I would like to give Githyan 24 hours or so to do the merge himself, but I can see where a speedy deletion might be desirable. Tagging the suggestion is a good idea. --◄mendel► 13:13, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

After adding the delete tag I wanted to make sure he knows about the existing suggestion, but you beat me to it :P Silver Sunlight 13:16, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I saw you rummaging in the attic (those old pre-made builds...); which led to me finally acting on this merge. Happy editing! --◄mendel► 14:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions

I feel bad about changing so many of your edits because I really like that you've been working on the section - it's been mostly me up to now. I've disagreed with your responses mostly when I thought they didn't accurately portray the consensus on the talkpage (if there is any), so maybe we should just discuss them some more. I think the points you've made are good, but I can probably come up with some good counter-points as well. ;-) --◄mendel► 04:17, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I had a feeling someone would intervene :P Some of those suggestions have just been lying there for so long with out any discussion. Pages like that really become hard to use when you have to read through outdated suggestions. (Kind of like what happened to our admin page, before Entropy removed the old admins.) I'll go and have a look at what you did. Silver Sunlight 09:12, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Maybe we can just add something like "next action" to make clear what would need to done to move some of those suggestions forward (on the closed ones, no such action comes to my mind). Perhaps we can also add a "date added" column. --◄mendel► 12:22, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, the "next action" would be useful for someone reading the suggestion and thinking "OK, but what now?" I'll make a draft of some kind for an example.

User:Silver_Sunlight/Suggestion_draft

Is that what you had in mind? Silver Sunlight 17:04, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Hehehehe. No. It's good, though.

See, what you're doing is creating something like the stuff that is in GuildWiki:Projects. That is good, yet it exceeds the state of the discussion (again). So my "Todo" would just have been "create a project to coordinate and commence work on this suggestion" and expect somebody else to put the details on the project page. Now as you'll quickly see the project pages suffer from the same kind of rot as the suggestions, i.e. you can't readily tell what state these are in - some are reasonably active, some are covered in (virtual) cobwebs, so it wouldn't really have been a very good solution.

Of course there's nothing that's keeping us from using the very suggestion page as a project, i.e. listing it on the Projects index and categorizing it in Category:Community projects. Do you want to do that? --◄mendel► 18:11, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Oops hehe... but like you said there's no reason not to use the suggestion page as the project page. However it feels like a bad thing to disorganize the Suggestions/Projects pages even further. We are attempting to sort them out (like moving around the old suggestions), so I would prefer to create an actual Project page that links from the suggestion.

Before we create a project page though, lets get an idea of how the community feels about the suggestions. It doesn't help to create a project that no one wants to work on. Once we have seen which of the suggestions have the most interest, we can create project pages for them. That way we don't have project pages drifting around with no one interested in editing them. Silver Sunlight 18:24, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I think it's a good idea to not split the page, because it's really the same subject, and then there isn't a big decision involved at any point of the process. Everything that has been written and discussed on the suggestion seem relevant to the project. Maybe it's just the project index that needs work? I'm too tired now to think about how the project index could be structured: sections for "virgin", "active", "temporarily on hold", "completed", "abandoned" ? --◄mendel► 19:16, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

That could also work... Either way, it doesn't really matter in the end where it goes, as long as it's there and easy to reach :P It would definitely be easier to keep it on one page, like the draft I made. Silver Sunlight (T/C) 19:25, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Conservatives may be offended by "virgin." Replace with "maiden" imo. 208.44.247.101 19:55, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Guess I was too terse before. You can use that image, just scale it down to 50px wide like mendel said: [[Image:SSunlight.jpg|50px]]. Since the height is 19px already, it will be scaled smaller and you don't have to worry about it. —Dr Ishmael 19:55, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
