Maps with coordinates

Hey, if you want to create a big map with multiple coordinates, your best bet would be to use the interactive map widget. You can copy the usage here, for example, or here is the widget description directly with explanations: Widget:Zone map v3. Otherwise, infoboxes support multiple coordinates separated with a comma, but it is not suitable for large-scale projects like the Teleporter map. ~Sime 16:07, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Oh, thank you so much for the tip! I was editing an image of the maps, similar to the Raptor Taxi ones, but the interactive map widget is way more elegant and more future proof (should there be more maps containing teleporters) --Skrittbrains (talk) 17:24, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Since you are listing {{#Widget:Zone map v3 ...}} on your user page, please keep in mind that in general transcluded widgets cannot be tracked via Special:WhatLinksHere. Thus, it is recommended (see the related widget page) to use the wrapper template {{Interactive map}} instead, you may want to change it to {{Interactive map|...}} in your copy paste section. --Tolkyria (talk) 13:20, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip! :) The copy-paste exists in case something like tracking the Jade Tech Teleporters or Purist Lieutenants comes up again. Should these special maps also be formatted with the wrapper template? If so: in "applied" code, would it look like this? --Skrittbrains (talk) 13:36, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

{{Interactive map| map = x | markers = { "name": " Marker Name ", "coord": [a, b], "text": " Description " }, }}

Yes, that's the correct code. --Tolkyria (talk) 15:06, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Acquisition level 3 headers

Level 3 headers to split acquisition by methods are only used if there is more than one acquisition source, see Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Item formatting#General. —Kvothe (talk) 13:23, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, I forgot to replace em with ;Headers - did you fix the pages already or should I backtrack? --Skrittbrains (talk) 13:42, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Don't use headers either, if there is just one source we do not mention the type of the source. DJemba (talk) 13:57, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

But a section for a gathered item is not very informative, when it appears as:

Acquistion

• Soybeans

Icon in event infobox

Hellow, please do not use the icon template in {{event infobox}}, the icon template adds some extra formatting that breaks it. Just find the correct icon (for example in the source code of the icon template), and use it there. Thanks! DJemba (talk) 14:35, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Yes, thank you! Having gotten caught in the redirect loop i couldn't find it, so the page source code is a much appreciated tip. (could they aslo be found via Category? And if so, are the correct categories Category:Tango_icons, Category:ArenaNet_icons and Category:Icons?) --Skrittbrains (talk) 14:47, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

The model is actually unique as it has a more blueish tint to it, along the lines of File:Captain Greywind.jpg vs File:Ascalonian Siege Guard.jpg. Sunlion (talk) 01:56, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
