• Maps for Path of Fire zones uploaded.
• Template:Icon and other icon templates rework complete.

Week of Sunday, 10 September 2017

• Anet has updated the Guild War 2 forums. This may cause broken links that need to be fixed or possibly even links to posts that no longer exist, though it appears they are keeping the older post archived so the latter hopefully shouldn't be a problem. If you see a forum link, please check and edit accordingly if required.

Week of Sunday, 20 August 2017

• "What links here" would like people to know it exists before they move/delete/eat a page.

Week of Sunday, 19 February 2017

• Anet releases a mini quest to reforge Andúril Caladbolg. As a result, it breaks our templates which, since HoT, is nothing new. Time for a new template?
• Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Projects/Shared Model Project/Objects now exists, because just like NPCs, objects have shared models too.

Week of Sunday, 12 February 2017

• A new area is released Lake Doric along with a new raid wing Bastion of the Penitent. The wiki goes a bit crazy documenting both.

Week of Sunday, 01 January 2017

• Darqam creates Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Projects/NPC Coordinates, great for finding NPCs.
• Alex, possibly hating snow, removes the Wintersday decorations the wiki had a week early.
• Sysop JonTheMoon's status is changed to semi-active, and Tanetris first post of the year is to say he's been more active on the GWIW recently than here.
