GuildWiki:Post No Builds
From GuildWiki
|
This is a currently proposed policy, per the guidelines set out in GuildWiki:Policy. If consensus is reached in the talk page, this notice can be removed and the policy category can be added. |
It has been shown that the Wiki architecture is not a good way to
handle the subjectiveness of builds in GuildWars and what good
builds there are on the wiki are being harmed, while some bad
builds are being moved into the "favored" categories. Almost
nothing else that has happened on the Wiki has caused as much
divisiveness as the builds section has. Add to that the fact that
skill and game updates can instantly render builds unworkable and
it becomes plain that this is a losing proposition for the
Wiki.
All current builds should be moved to the user namespace of the user(s) who added the build or into anyone's namespace who wishes to keep said build. One month after the acceptance of this policy, all articles in the Build namespace will be deleted, and any links from articles in the main namespace removed.
[edit] Advantages
- Stop all the petty bickering about what is and isn't a good build.
- Brings the Wiki back to what it handles best: cold, hard facts.
[edit] Disadvantages
- Many people have worked very hard on the Builds section.
- GuildWiki may lose quite a few visitors as players often refer others to the Builds section when forming parties.
[edit] Suggested criteria for inclusion
- New builds could still be added, just keep them to the user namespace.
- Build names that are in the general lexicon of the game (IWAY, SS, 55 monk, etc...) would still have articles in the Glossary category that give short explanations of them.
