== {{yes|sortkey=}} Random "Error in widget Game link" ==

I don't know if this only happens to me, but on some pages I get this error instead of a game link. Example: [[Endless Casual Clothing Tonic|Error]], [[Endless Riding Clothes Tonic|no error]]. Happens after cache purges and on different browsers. [[User:Tyndel|Tyndel]] ([[User talk:Tyndel|talk]]) 21:02, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

: I get it when I purge either page.  Force-refreshing clears it up, though.  I don't know what could be causing it, Poke's mucked about with my code so much that I can hardly find my way around that widget anymore. :P  &mdash;[[User:Dr ishmael|Dr Ishmael]] [[File:User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png|link=User talk:Dr ishmael]] 21:27, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

== {{yes|sortkey=}} Search bar weirdly case-sensitive ==

If I'm about to write a two-word search and I do not capitalize the second word, I'm not getting an article suggestion in the drop-down menu, even if the search term is exactly matching an article. [http://i.imgur.com/mWCHc4A.png Screenshot 1]<br />
However if I instead capitalize the second word (and I don't need to capitalize the first), I'm getting the correct suggestion. [http://i.imgur.com/sBZj2Cl.png Screenshot 2]<br />
A minor bug, but somewhat annoying. &mdash;[[User:Nelg|Nelg]] ([[User talk:Nelg|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

: Not a bug, that's just how the base version of MediaWiki works.  There are extensions that modify or replace the search engine, but we don't have any of them installed.  &mdash;[[User:Dr ishmael|Dr Ishmael]] [[File:User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png|link=User talk:Dr ishmael]] 19:09, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

:: Yeah, noticed that very long ago, and it really bugs me to ''have'' to capitalize that second word. >_> &ndash; ''[[User:Valento|Valento]] '''<small><sup>[[User_talk:Valento|msg]]</sup></small>''''' 19:13, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

: I'd like to add something related to the search bar capitalization "issue". If you search something having capitalized the first letters (i.e Bowl of Spiced Meat Chili) and press "Go", you are promptly redirected to the correct webpage (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bowl_of_Spiced_Meat_Chili). If however you search without capitalizing (i.e. bowl of spiced meat chili), you are redirected to the "Create the page "Bowl of spiced meat chili" on this wiki!" page (although the correct result is indeed just below that). In some instances, when searching without capitalizing (i.e. bottle of elonian wine), you are redirected to the lowercase page "http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bottle_of_elonian_wine" which shows a "502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server." I'm just mentioning it, so that you are aware of the '''502 Server Error page''', rather than any "fix" related to search capitalization.

:: Per the request on the [[GW2WT:TECH#Fixing Case sensitivity|GW2W:TECH]] talk page, Stephane + Justin have plans to implement extension:titlekey which will resolve the problem for the few pages that the search fails to find due to case problems.
:: By the way, the [[Bottle of Elonian Wine]] problem was totally unrelated - the recipe list by discipline template craps itself if it is used on a frequently used item (some guy kindly added all the mystic forge recipes for elonian bottles of wine). The page needs splitting up. -[[User talk:Chieftain Alex|<span style="font-family:Constantia;color:#D2691E">'''Chieftain '''Alex</span>]][[File:User Chieftain Alex sig.png|16px|link=User talk:Chieftain Alex]] 19:55, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

== {{yes|sortkey=}} Stats for [[Mad Memoires: Complete Edition]] incorrect ==

The stat lookup is incorrect for [[Mad Memoires: Complete Edition]] , the precision stat value is incorrect (should be 24). [[User:ChipSylex|ChipSylex]] ([[User talk:ChipSylex|talk]]) 17:20, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

== {{yes|sortkey=}} Page not loading properly ==

Seems like this page doesn't load properly: [[Special:ActiveUsers]]. It's being cached slowly and only shows 1 person, sometimes 12 persons and sometimes just 3 persons. Seems too random and broken. Do you know why? and can be fixed? It works perfectly in the spanish wiki BTW. - [[File:User_Saelyth_iconsignature.png|Saelyth's picture|link=User:Saelyth]][[User:Saelyth|'''Saelyth / Aens Windstorm''']] <small>[[User_talk:Saelyth|''Talk'']]</small> 19:05, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

The amount of bonus stat in some armor pieces, such as [[Latera's Light Gloves]], [[Latera's Leather Gloves]] or [[Latera's Heavy Gloves]], do not display. I could not find the right area in the infobox to fix this. [[Special:Contributions/92.132.231.202|92.132.231.202]] 14:36, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

== {{yes|sortkey=}} Vendor Item Table - sort by cost inconsistent for items bought with karma ==

See [[Style Guide]] and [[Rebel Isaak]].

When a table has values on either side of 1,000 karma, sorting the table by cost will place the > 1,000 karma items ''below'' items that are < 1,000 karma. 

I'm guessing it's looking at the leftmost digit without checking how many digits. --[[User:Chrury|Chrury]] ([[User talk:Chrury|talk]]) 03:49, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

== {{no|sortkey=}} Attack damage display on weapon skills are non-standardised ==

Based off the formula of "Damage done = (weapon strength) * Power * ( Modifier ) / (target's Armor)", all skills with identical modifiers on the identical weapon should have an identical base damage display. This is currently not the case.  
  
For an example, take the 4 Ranger Shortbow skills [[Crossfire]], [[Quick Shot]], [[Crippling Shot]], and [[Concussion Shot]] - All of these have a Modifier of 0.4 whilst the displayed damage on Crossfire is 134 whilst the rest are 118. This is because the displayed number is manually entered and not calculated. Due to this, weapon skills site-wide have varying damage displays on identical weapons with identical modifiers.  
  
Whilst this could be quick-fixed on a per-skill basis, a potential long-term fix for this would to have a site-wide standardized weapon strength on a per-weapon basis and having the damage display calculated as opposed to entered. This would have the added benefit of being able to modify the damage across all skills if the base weapon damage were to change at a later stage.

: This isn't really a wiki bug is it, just a lack of documentation consistency? -[[User talk:Chieftain Alex|<span style="font-family:Constantia;color:#D2691E">'''Chieftain '''Alex</span>]][[File:User Chieftain Alex sig.png|16px|link=User talk:Chieftain Alex]] 10:32, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
::One way forward would be to modify [[Template:Skill fact|the template]] as he brought up–there is already a [[Guild_Wars_2_Wiki:Skill_formatting#Skill_facts|standard]] for how we can present (or calculate) damage for each skill entry. <s>The template will need to be updated with the various weapon strength values at level 80 exotic. </s>[[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 13:43, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
:::Sorry, I didn't realise that {{tl|Item stat lookup}} exists for this purpose. Maybe that template can be called to retrieve the weapon strength. [[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 13:51, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

:: The only variable from the formula, for the sake of wiki, should be Modifier/coefficient. When documenting skill damages in wiki, we can fill in 2 independent variables, i.e. coefficient (optional), and Damage Done (which should dependent on coefficient, if any, nonetheless). If we leave the damage done as blank, it shows 0 even if we have the coefficient which should be able to calculate the damage done from it. My suggestion is that the template should accept both damage done and coefficient as it is, but coefficient prevails when both exist and use it to calculate the actual (reference) damage. --[[User:Fanolian|Fanolian]] ([[User talk:Fanolian|talk]]) 13:57, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

== {{no|sortkey=}} Crippled Template produces spelling errors ==

The [[Champion Giant]] article uses the code <nowiki>{{Crippled|cripple}}s</nowiki> which displays as {{effect|Crippled}}s. The 'd' shouldn't be there, but I've no idea how to go about fixing it.

== {{no|sortkey=}} Recipe ingredient list is out of order ==
In creating a recipe list for the experimental precursors on a [[Precursor Crafting|new page]] I made, the list of ingredients for [[Rage Experiment]] does not show up properly. The actual item's page lists the correct order (ingredient1, ingredient2, etc.) However, when the recipe template is used:
{{recipe list header}}
{{recipe list row|Rage Experiment}}
|}
The [[Essence of Fish]] shows up on the bottom, rather than on top. This is how it should be sorted:
{{recipe list header}}
{{recipe list row|Zap Experiment}}
|}
And in fact, all other similar weapons that have completed recipe lists show up this correct way--all except Rage Experiment. I can't figure out why.
