Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Weapon formatting
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
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[edit]
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[edit]
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.
