My GWW Userpage

[Quintus Antonius]

Hey guys, I know some of you have some skill on wikis, but it is just something I've never been able to do and don't have the time to learn.

Can anyone help me set up my personal Guild Wars Wiki userpage?
http://wiki.guildwars.com/index.php?title=User:QuintusAntonious&action=edit

I'd be most appreciative.

[Barinthus]

What do u want on it?

[Quintus Antonius]

What do you suggest?

[Barinthus]

I'm not really a creative person - i'm better at implementing someone else's ideas ha.

[Dallcingi]

Hrm nothing comes up it's just a blank edit page..

[Quintus Antonius]

That's cause it IS a blank edit page.

[Barinthus]

I started something - it's very rudimentary right now and I'd do more but I'm running late to meet a friend.

I thought maybe a section on your armor sets, a list of ur pvp characters, a screenshot of Romulus, and if you want, something to showcase your weapon collection and mini pets.

Links to our guild will be put in of course and I'm thinking of creating an userbox specific to our guild.

I will change the box where your picture is - it's just a rough draft right now

[Quintus Antonius]

Let me know what you need. Each of my PvP characters has his own story, so to say.

EDIT:

Some other things to mention. I'm a Moderator on GWO, I have an NPC in the Halls of Chokhin, I can contribute with a native level of English, a fluent level in Spanish, knowledge of Latin and German, and a beginner level of Korean.

I'll get you a better picture of Quintus too.

Anything else you think we need on there?

[Barinthus]

How many armor sets do you have? Do you even want to show off them? One idea I just got is to use armor sets to show different sides of QA. Like that one time we joked around about how that vabbi (?) armor is ideal for you as a commander commanding forces, how this armor is for highway rogue, and so on.

One other idea is a play on HoM - fellowship would be BaR guild/alliance; devotion would be Romulus or mini pets if you want; honor - userboxes or just titles such as moderator, guild leader, etc... valor and resilence changed to something... like one for mursaat rally and the other one for something else not yet figured out.

then a series of drop menus with details on each pvp character if you want.

word of caution - i'm not an expert but i'm a quick learner, i'm confident I can do the above

[Quintus Antonius]

Wow, that's a great idea. If you want to arrange a armor photoshoot in the GH, we can do that.

I have four sets of armor, 55, Ancient, Vabbian, and Elite Rogue's. I actually designed each of my armors with the ideas you are saying in mind. My 55 armor is starter armor, plain and unordained, sort of saying how it is my "work" clothes. My Ancient armor is for fast-casting, becuase I thought it looked Daedric, and I wanted to seem like a "demon" because I cast spells so fast. Vabbian is as you described--the armor I wear when I'm in the back or midline, and the Elite Rogue's is my illusion set. I use it when I'm IW tanking usually. Sort of to say "I'm a rogue mesmer."

That's a great idea. I regret never learning how to use wiki. I look at it and its all gibberish to me haha. That's odd because I can do PHP and CSS and stuff...

Hi, just saw this thread, and since I've been contributing to the wiki since before it was officially announced I thought I'd have a quick look.

The great thing about wikis and the concept of wikis is the licensing... if you see something cool, you can just look into the source code and copy it. Of course, it's bad manners not to give credit, but if you want it then it's there. A list of users who will allow you to do such a thing can be found here (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Category:Users_providing_user_page_layouts), and a list of users providing help, should you need it, can be found here (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_Wiki:Helpers). There's also a policy on userpages which can be read at GWW:USER (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_Wiki:User_page).

And yeah, I think the Hall of Monuments idea is great... perhaps the Resilience one could contain armour galleries or something?

[Quintus Antonius]

Yeah, I think its a good idea. But hey, I'm the head of a huge multinational guild, why should I have to learn =P

Just kidding, between all the heavy readings and learning Korean that I'm required to do right now, and also managing free time, playtime, and worktime, I just don't have the time or resources to do much other than advise, which is why I'm so grateful to those people who are assisting me in this.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User:Quintus_Antonius

It's the new URL.

Made some minor changes to info box. Added few userboxes. Still a work in progress. I'm using this opportunity to learn about wiki-ing.

If others want to join in - that's completely fine with me too.

[Kailden Jera]

Hmm... I guess I can give a hand. Nothing that a little of copypasta won't solve right?

[Quintus Antonius]

There is a limit on the number of userboxes you can have, so I think some of the more unnecessary ones should go. For instance, the District one, and the Sweet Tooth one are both rather unnecessary if you ask me. I'd rather have the box for Moderator on GWO, and which languages I speak.

[Rockweaver]

this is the link to my page and if you link back to our guild page you will find some others who have pages you can look at. find what you like and most of the rest is cut and paste.

[Barinthus]

Ok re: userboxes. The one re: GWO moderator will probably have to be made but it shouldn't be too difficult. Would it be ok to use GWO logo?

EDIT: Found language boxes... http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Category:Users_by_language%28s%29_spoken

I don't have time to put those in right now, gotta run so if others want to try their hand at this, go for it.

Q - how would you rate urself for Korean? And all other languages? Native for English, Spanish probably but what about Latin and something else I may forgot?

[Quintus Antonius]

I'd rate my language ability in Korean as basic. I'm still learning. I have a lot of trouble verbally speaking and listening for instance, but I can read it almost fine.

Spanish is advanced, since I'm Mexican, and Latin don't bother since it's a dead language and I'm not even Catholic (so I have no practical use for it).

Youre Mexican? I thought you lived in Pittsburgh somewhere O.o;; Migration really makes it hard to keep track of these things... :tongue:

[Barinthus]

LoL silly.

Deleted unwanted userboxes and added language boxes :)

[Quintus Antonius]

I was born in the US, and have lived here all my life. That doesn't mean I can't be Mexican. My nationality is American, my heritage and ethnicity are Mexican/Spanish.

[Barinthus]

Ok one thing - initially you registered your name as QuintusAntonious which I assumed was a typo so I moved your page to Quintus Antonius. Apparently having users editing other people's personal user pages are frowned upon in general in the wiki community which makes sense - how do the administrators know other users are being malicious or not. They were cool with my explanations that I'm helping out and of course I have my personal reasons - this is an opportunity to develop and practice my skills.

Anyway let me get to the point - since you registered under QuintusAntonious, they will not allow me to move your page to Quintus Antonius. You can just either leave your page as QuintusAntonious or you can re-register as Quintus Antonius (or under some other name whatever you may prefer).

If you re-register, someone can mark your first user page to be slated for deletion and you can copy and paste the following into your edit section for your user page:

__NOTOC__{{User:Barinthus/Player Mesmer Userbox

Quintus Antonious is my in-game name. Quintus Antonius (no O), is my forum name because GWO has a character limit and I couldn't fit the o in.

I'm not prone to mistakes, Barinthus ;)

[Barinthus]

0_o never noticed the difference in spelling!
