Wiki technical questions and WvW guide - September 4, 2013[edit]
Hi everyone,
I've got two important sets of questions to share with the wiki community today. Please hop on my talkpage to share your thoughts and answers!
Wiki technical questions[edit]
We're currently working on an upcoming to the wiki software (upgrade to version 1.20.7), together with using QuestyCaptcha. We've cleaned a few things on the wiki backend, including configuration files, and want to make sure that we're not changing something incorrectly. So here are a few things, including questions that need to be asnwered by the wiki community:
- The variable $wgLogo will be set to http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/c/c9/Logo.png (see Guild_Wars_2_Wiki:Reporting_wiki_bugs#Wiki_logo_not_set), let us know if this is not the good one;
- The variable $wgRightsUrl will be set to http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2_Wiki:Copyrights
- The variable $wgAutoConfirmCount will be set to 10
- The variable $wgAutoConfirmAge will be set to 1 day
- The variable $wgShowIPinHeader will be set to True
- The variable $wgCaptchaTriggers['create'] will be set to False
- As far as we can tell, the English wiki is not using the extensions Loops, CharacterEscapes, and ImageMap, let us know if we should enable them here;
It's also the time to ask us for any subsequent configuration change! We need the answer to these questions as soon as possible, so that we can then test the changes and push these updates to the live wikis. Thanks for your help!
WvW guide[edit]
We're interested in providing GW2 players with more WvW guides and the World_versus_World article is not currently the best page for that. I'd like to work with the wiki community and other players to try to change this and provide the GW2 community with some sort of article or link hub so that people can get a really good start in WvW. If we can pull something together fairly quickly (e.g., 2 weeks, which is probably super quick in wikiTime (TM)), we'd like to promote it to the larger GW2 community, in time for the WvW seasons!
If you have links, ideas, a passion for WvW or just want to help, hit me on my talkpage so that we can discuss it! Thanks.
