| - While trying to figure out ways to better display and make accessible our builds collection, I've come up with the following suggestion: I think we should make an addition to the default skill template for elite skills (possibly even for all skills), called "Builds focusing on this skill" or similar, and under the headline, link in the builds in the [[Category:tested builds]] that make use of the skill in question. This would showcase and make the good builds more easily accessible, make it easy to see if your idea for a build has already been done, and just plain be a practical reference for finding a build you know is here (but don't know the exact name). Thoughts? --Bishop (rap|con) 21:55, 10 May 2006 (CDT)

Thoughts? --Bishop (rap|con) 21:55, 10 May 2006 (CDT) The way current template mechanics are, the section you want will appear above progression and acquisition. I do not believe it is the proper place for it. It should be manually added towards the bottom of the article, if the linkign is to be done. -PanSola 23:13, 10 May 2006 (CDT) Agreed. I wasn't suggesting, or even thinking of, anything automagic. --Bishop (rap|con) 00:11, 11 May 2006 (CDT) To showcase, rather than explain, what I mean, I have taken the liberty of adding my idea to the IW article, as an example. --Bishop (rap|con) 00:34, 11 May 2006 (CDT) No comments on this for over a week. If there are no objections, I'm going to start implementing this soon. --Bishop (rap|con) 09:52, 19 May 2006 (CDT) Exactly why would this need to be done? I do not think the builds need to be more accessable, it will be alot of data to update if a build was updated/removed than just the build page. I would rather not see such variable and technically opinionated information be added to the skill pages which should be entirely concrete fact. --Draygo Korvan 10:13, 19 May 2006 (CDT) I think it would be useful. A major part of what makes a Wiki (or the web) more useful than a static manual is hyperlinks. I think that players who are looking at a skill will often (say, at least 10% of the time, which is enough for me) be interested in seeing how the skill is used in action, or "vetted" methods of use. Sure, people will ignore it much of the time (like most of the wiki), but otherwise users are simply not likely to even realize the information exists. --JoDiamonds 21:38, 21 June 2006 (CDT) While I can see a potential use for it, I think it's a maintenance nightmare to maintain. Builds by their nature are dynamic over time. Even established builds in the game have been known to evolve, yet maintain the same original build name. Add into that the build variants and just the number of builds that are currently languishing in un-tested states, and I just see a major headache in attempting to maintain this. I think this trully needs to be thought out more fully before implementing. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:44, 21 June 2006 (CDT) Okay, I thought about it more (I know, I just posted, I thought fast). My main objection here is that this design requires maintenance in two locations; both in the build, and in the skill article. This isn't efficient to me, and prone to missed edits. Alternate idea: Add an optional row into the skill box for elites only. That row can contain a link to a category for builds using the elite skill in question. It's then easier to maintain as all maintenance would be in the build article itself to include both the elite skill and the category tag. No maintenance of the skill article would be needed beyond the original linking to the category page no matter if the skill remained in a build over time or not. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:53, 21 June 2006 (CDT) I like the having a link to category idea, but I think it should be manually added to the bottom of hte article instead of going into the template. -User:PanSola (talk to the Image:Follower of Lyssa.png) 00:18, 22 June 2006 (CDT)
