Missing format[edit]

Imo this page doesn't qualify as mainspace page, as it misses crucial mainspace key points, namely:

  • it misses proper section headings that structures the page and allows the wiki user to access sections via table of content.
  • it misses proper links to the correct items, e.g. header of first image states 1 Aurillium. Does this refer to Aurillium? How should a wiki user (not necessarily new wiki user) know that this refers to Liquid Aurillium Infusion?
  • it has excessive gif image usage that prevents the wiki users from experience this great gifs due to loading time.

If you need help with the formatting, please ask either here or in gw2 wiki Discord, which already recommended to distribute this images on the individual infusion pages (probably on subpages to allow fast acess of the most important information and to check the images if wanted). --Tolkyria (talk) 21:18, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

I added the basic formatting, also like the idea of subpages so I might look into that later. DJemba (talk) 21:26, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
I'm gonna plop what I said on discord to here, "For the most part though, I think only one animated gif/file is needed, as they all look the same to me, and the best spot for such an image should be on the infusion page, not a separate page". A gallery page, similar to the already existing pages for weapons and gliders, might not be a bad idea however. - Doodleplex 21:32, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
I still can't see any improvements to the format of this page, e.g. - repeating myself - what does * 1 Aurillium: stand for?
Furthermore, we do not mention the contributers on a mainspace page, this goes either to the history summary or to the file page.
Overall, given the current "format" and that having at least eight gifs of each infusion (causing extremely long loading times, more than one minute), I can't see how a wiki user should use this page. Therefore, I suggest that our wiki admins take according actions. --Tolkyria (talk) 14:52, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
