Welcome to the wiki[edit]

Hi there I guess you are new here. Anyways I noticed you edits and I reverted most of them. Two reasons for that:

  1. It is consensus that we don't link to youtube videos except is is the offical Anet channel. Since you added mostly youtube videos I deleted them. Anyhow, consensus may change with each new editor, so when you would want to add youtube videos you should discuss this first at the Community portal until an new consensus is reached.
  2. Exploits should never be posted. The problem is that ANet see it as a bannable offence to explain how exploids work. Therefor it is best not to post exploids in the wiki, because this might result in ANet banning you from the game.

I hope that covers the first steps, feel free to contact me or any admin from the board. Have a nice day. - Yandere Talk to me... 22:53, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

More importantly, we don't want users to see exploits here and assume that they're allowed because it's the official Guild Wars 2 Wiki, so surely we wouldn't post something that would get them banned. Felix Omni Signature.png 23:29, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Guides to achievements & monthlies[edit]

Hey, I saw you were trying to link some guides. I didn't look at the videos because most of the GW2 stuff on youtube is just too long/didn't watch for me. Most of this stuff doesn't seem that difficult and 10 lines of text seem good enough to me. But maybe some people would be interested in a specific person's guide and videos.

What I remember people doing on the GW1 wiki was create a guide in their own user space, e.g. [[User:Grammar Nazi/Guides/Monthly]] with some text and maybe links to vids. And then they would mention that on the talk page of e.g.Monthly. A lot of times, that was the end of it. But sometimes, players used the guide so often it got linked from the article. And once in a while, people other than the original author asked for it to be made into a mainspace article, e.g. [[Guide to completing dailies quickly]]. 75.36.181.135 20:26, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
