GW2 Wiki English Mirror:Weapon formatting
From GW2 Wiki English Mirror
Jump to navigationJump to search
This article will explain the formatting practices and processes with regards to the documentation of weapons.
Dropping suffix from page title
If the in game weapon name is for example "Giver's Wintergreen Greatsword of Chilling" the page title should be Giver's Wintergreen Greatsword dropping the part that accounts for the sigil.
Screenshots
Screenshots should emphasize the subject and minimize other elements.
- Take them in a well-lit setting, using a non-distracting background.
- This is the reason why the preview panel is not a good choice - brown background and the lighting is off.
- That said - if there is no image and you can only take a preview image - go ahead and upload it!
- Remove any and all armor.
- Armor can clip into the image; outfits remove some effects.
- Preferably taken with a human female due to their lack of clipping.
- Arrange so that narrow-profile weapons (e.g. staffs) are approximately level with the ground.
- The same advice applies to underwater weapons.
