Intended Design[edit]

Please put discussion in the other sections

I want to use this section to document what the design criteria are for the topic page. As such, this section is a 'hidden' extension of the topic page.

As far as this section is concerned, I request that the rules for informative pages be followed. (This applies to this section only; the discussion rules should apply to all other sections.) In particular, I request that the signature and archival of deleted material rules not apply to this section.


  • The main change is to be formatting the tables to look like the bank vault panes.
    • This does not seem to be working out. I have tables for each bank sections, but there are also tables that do not have corresponding bank sections.
  • The cells in the table are to be clickable icons with no text.
  • The cells will have drop-downs that display the name of the material.
  • If possible, the drop-down text should be translated to the user's prefered language.

To Do

  • Small seperator between tables
  • Borders every 5 items? Does it work with sorting?

Discussion[edit]

The old table organization reflects the structure of GW1 a bit too much. The bank pages provide a more relavent structure. --Max 2 11:25, 13 June 2012 (UTC)


Material Progression[edit]

The development of materials through player action is implicit in some of the old tables. I think that progression belongs on several separate pages. Using several pages would allow the sequence descriptions to be included by reference in each of the material or item description pages. A master page sequence page would also be appropriate and would include by reference each and every seperate sequence page.--Max 2 11:25, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Red Links[edit]

I have removed the red-link suppression parameters deliberatly. The red links end up in the 'missing' page/file reports (not that anybody really looks at those reports, but they exist for a purpose). The red-links also alert anybody looking at the page that something needs to be done. In both cases, the links are to '.png' files while corresponding '.jpg' files exist. I'd convert them, but it would be better to get official copies from ArenaNet. --Max 2 10:48, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
