News in this category?
Hi, I'm just asking, why news are in this category. The category title says it's Directory for Updates and the Updates page list just Patch Notes and prepared Operations (big updates). I suggest we create Category:News and add News articles there and leave Category:Updates for Game updates (Patches and Operations). BTW: This should be also part of the Category discussion → Zarevak 14:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * See below. Also agreed on naming needing more attention. - Dashiva 17:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

update category
what would be the usage of the update template? ( a description would have been nice). Since i find mysefl updating news lately, i would like to know the usage and function of that category.--Stargrazer 16:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * To answer both at once, maybe putting news in the updates category was a bit rash. The motivation was mainly to replace the old categories being phased out, and several of the core news pages were already in the updates category (plus there hasn't been a non-update-related news item since the game launch).
 * So there's nothing final about it. I would however encourage someone to figure out how we can solve the redundancy between news about updates and update articles. It also ties into what we want to be - a stand-alone fansite, or an information source that supplements other fansites. For the former, I guess we'd need more focus on news and community; for the latter, we might not need news at all (just updates). So yeah, don't think I just went ahead and decided. - Dashiva 17:39, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Personally, i think of this more like the guild wars wiki, which is the ultimate information source on skills, quests and walkthrus. (http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Main_Page) . Patch info is cool, re-adjustments and upcoming changes could be nice, but shit like interviews ? not really. but that's just me. --Stargrazer 16:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Updates update
So we finally got a new news item, and it's an exact duplicate of the corresponding updates item. Is the news section viable at all? - Dashiva (talk) 18:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
