Now optionally supports a style attribute and it outputs a proper table in html instead of using an iframe -- Darth Vader ^{talk contribs} 20:00, 31 January 2007 (CET)

tag: sort

Added a new extension that creates a tag to sort lists: <sort>

see Sort

It works like this:

<sort>
all
your
base
are
belong
to
us
</sort>

Will produce this:

• all
• are
• base
• belong
• to
• us
• your

Counter

The 377 ({{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}) doesn't update unless something changes in the mainpage. Why's that? Gonzo (talk | contribs) 12:09, 1 February 2007 (CET)

I think it does, see my tip on purging cache, maybe if you do that it will update ? You can also check on special:statistics, that should afair always update -- Darth Vader ^{talk contribs} 17:56, 2 February 2007 (CET)

What links here

What would be a accurate way to describe this? I wanted to rename it but "Pages that link to this page" is way to long. I only found out about this link recently and I like it! Though if you never press it, you probably won't know what it does. Gonzo (talk | contribs) 12:01, 5 February 2007 (CET)

Can you even edit it ? it's in the toolbox menu which is context based (ie. it changes based on what kind of page you are on). And it's a standard mediawiki function so please do not rename it even if you could, since it would confuse the people that are used the mediawiki toolbox. -- Darth Vader ^{talk contribs} 12:57, 5 February 2007 (CET)

Ok, won't do it :) You can rename it: [[1]] Gonzo (talk | contribs) 13:13, 5 February 2007 (CET)

True, i think that is mostly for localization, ie. for foreign languages, anyway, remember the help pages refer to the default names, so there needs to be a really good reason to rename it ;) -- Darth Vader ^{talk contribs} 13:36, 5 February 2007 (CET)

Linkage?

I want to add some links to this page, but where should I add them? What do you think.

• GuildWars Guru - A site with guides, builds and a discussion forum. Also hosts our guild comic in their activities section.
• MEEP - Friends and sworn enemies of DotB who seem to have their heart set to get us into the SMS Alliance.

Change the helpful guildwiki links to be a general links box, make a new page called 'miscellaneous links' and put all the links you dont want to appear on the main page there ? -- Darth Vader ^{talk contribs} 16:11, 23 February 2007 (CET)

new tag: character_statistics

So i got a bit bored, and inspired by Jens's character statistics on the forums:

Character	Hours played	Deaths	Deaths/h	XP	XP/h	XP/deaths	Virtual level	% hours	% deaths	% xp
Zum Garon (Warrior)	1,231	771	0.63	7,128,151	5,791	9,245	486	28	33	40
Doli Capax (Necromancer)	950	629	0.66	3,752,886	3,950	5,966	261	21	27	21
Zarine De Rippa (Warrior)	696	189	0.27	1,988,878	2,858	10,523	143	16	8	11
Vorian Cypher (Ranger)	440	248	0.56	1,144,527	2,601	4,615	87	10	11	6

Arhev Jezvahted (Monk)	31	0	0.00	154,532	4,985	Survivor!	21	1	0	1
Total	4,436	2,302	0.52	17,727,109	3,996	7,701	1193

370 Avg. Hours/Character, 1,477,259 Avg. XP/Character, 192 Avg. Deaths/Character

'Virtual level' means the level your character would be if there was no level 20 cap

It works like this:

<character_statistics>
Zum Garon (Warrior),1231,771,7128151
Doli Capax (Necromancer),950,629,3752886
Zarine De Rippa (Warrior),696,189,1988878
Vorian Cypher (Ranger),440,248,1144527
Zauron The Impaler (Paragon),236,124,716583
Karede Paendrag (Dervish),222,160,717267
Random Tox (Necromancer),211,34,590465
Zool Zurander (Mesmer),134,105,263842
Zoot Lanfear (Elementalist),132,38,738509
Zoltan Goatpuncher (Ranger),121,3,386907
Zenia Ghola (Ritualist),32,1,144562
Arhev Jezvahted (Monk),31,0,154532
</character_statistics>

The tag is used like this:

<character_statistics>
<text>,<hours played>,<deaths>,<xp>
</character_statistics>

Optionally you can use a 'style' attribute to specify table styling in CSS (see how its done in the guildwars_ladder tag on the front page)
