From Guild Wars 2 Wiki

Hi, good to see you here. :) Lord Belar 01:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Yay, no welcome template to start off with! --Gimmethegepgun 01:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Template:Welcome :P Lord Belar 01:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

If that turns into an actually used template (and it's still on my page) I'm gonna go on a vandalism spree for a day or so, k? And you're first :P --Gimmethegepgun 01:34, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, ok. You're probably safe for the remaining week Eloc is baned. :P Lord Belar 01:38, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, and by then the resentful (and extremely annoyed) might be able to push this through --Gimmethegepgun 02:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Hopefully. Lord Belar 02:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

You don't know how tempted I am to make a welcome template right now. :P Lord Belar 02:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

And you don't know how tempted I would be to turn your page into this (only about 10000x longer) if you did --Gimmethegepgun 02:13, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

That's ok, I need a userpage. :P Seriously, if I were an admin (So I could promptly delete it), I'd do it. Lord Belar 02:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Much better without that red text any more --Gimmethegepgun 02:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Lol, I like it. Lord Belar 02:28, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

User talk:Aspectacle You wouldn't be the only one with a new template. :P Lord Belar 03:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

This wiki needs more spam. It's boring right now. :/ Lord Belar 02:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, here's my idea for a welcome template :P :

Hello, {{{1}}}, and welcome to Guild Wars 2 Wiki! If you need help with anything, please feel free to leave a message at my talk page. I highly recommend that you check out the "About" page and the policy page for a brief overview about the wiki. Best of luck and happy editing! — ク Eloc 貢 02:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Lord Belar 02:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

lol, just automatically chuck Eloc in there :P Also, put the ~~~~~ in an includeonly, that should make it work right --Gimmethegepgun 02:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

If we did this from an anonymous ip, do you suppose eloc would get his ban lengthened? :P Lord Belar 02:39, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

lol that would be priceless. Would just have to substring it though --Gimmethegepgun 02:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

You'd only do it as long as they don't have CheckUser. Calor (t) 04:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Don't spoil our fun, we weren't actually gonna do it. Besides, thanks to his behavior, Eloc is getting everyone to hate him! --Gimmethegepgun 04:10, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Proxys ftw. Lord Belar 04:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow I certainly have a lot more messages on my page right off the bat than I got with GuildWiki! (GuildWiki forever! or at least until GW2 comes out) --Gimmethegepgun 04:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, because I know you from GW, and I was bored. :P Lord Belar 04:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, and a bit of spam is always fun. Also, in that case, maybe you should check out this page --Gimmethegepgun 04:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GuildWiki vs. GWW

I've been looking through some discussion and I've been seeing a trend in some of your responses. They mainly compare GuildWiki with GWW, saying one is better than the other. However, have you actually spent enough time in GWW to see how their policies actually work, and why they were written? Have you been under a policy different to that of Guildwiki to make an appropriate comparison to another policy of another wiki?

Instead of comparing the two wikis, or the policies of the wiki wikis, could you start afresh on this new wiki, instead of saying "In general, it seems like things should run the way they are [on Guildwiki], unlike GWW". -- Brains12 • Talk • 20:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

srsly guildwiki and pvx are the definition of fail, built of 12 year olds who spam each others talk pages --Cursed Angel 14:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Says the twelve year old who does nothing but spam talk pages. Lord Belar 14:57, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Guildwiki never had that bullshit until the solid admin team put their focus on GWW (and stopped caring about gwiki, for the most part). PvX has wtf spam, but doesn't support it (and doesn't let it govern the wiki in any way). It's annoying; but honestly, I'd rather have wtf spam than a weak sysop system. -Auron 15:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

haider i r liek pvx cuz der i can spamm wtf al over teh pagezz cuz tahts awsom end ecuals profit lolol --Cursed Angel 15:23, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

So other wikis are bad because people spam irrelevant stuff on them. Sort of like you're doing now? Lord of all tyria 15:51, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

as long as this wiki dont turns out to be like those i dont bother --Cursed Angel 16:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

If GW2W doesn't turn out like those 2, then it DOES turn out like GWW. Which no one of any sanity wants --Gimmethegepgun 01:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, so there's just two types of wikis? Nothing like middle ground, compromise, new thinking? - anja 10:29, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

/agree with anja. Lord of all tyria 14:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, considering it seems like the only ones here are the people who want it like GW and PvX OR want it like GWW, if it wasn't like GW and PvX then it WOULD be like GWW --Gimmethegepgun 20:57, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Or it could be a compromise... It doesn't have to be one or the other. Calor 21:56, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

If anything, the mix of the people from the three wikis will create a brand new wiki that's got a little bit of everything. -- Brains12 \ Talk 22:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

A bit of the law, a bit of relaxing and casualness, and a bit of...what few good things PVX has to offer when it comes to structure. Calor 00:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

That'd be.. uh... wizardboy? Lord Belar 03:52, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Thought so. Although I have to admit PvX does offer a very efficient first-rate spam crew. Calor 04:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

The way I see it, "wtf" spam is never harmful. Sure, it floods Rc, but a simple minor edit button solves that problem. IMHO, this wiki should probably be like GW before GWW came into existence. There were some ugly incidents ( The mess with Stabber and her alleged socks) but the admin base of GW was awesome, mature dudes who tolarated the childish stuff that popped up now and then. When gravewit sold out, tanaric, karlos, auron, fyren etc awesome people left, and gwiki is now only a spam forum kept in check by entropy and MP47's sanity. Childish stuff brings light, but too much blinds. ( how is that for a wise saying!) --Nuclear 7 19:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
