User talk:Anja Astor/Armor

Hiya, I'm quite keen on updating armor pages too (but I'm a little new to wiki-ing)! I was thinking the categorisation on armor is fine for now, but each of the classes ((scholar, adventurer and soldier could be improved). I was thinking of following a similar method/layout as the profession armor pages, except rather than dividing the armor by region / expansion pack, dividing it by race. So for example...

Armor

Asuran

Armor A

with image

Armor B

with image

Charr

Armor A

with image

Armor B

with image

The only thing I can see that would be a problem with dividing by race is that there isn't many race-specific armors! Crafted armor and armor bought from vendors are usable for all races, it's only cultural armor that's specific. I really like those collectin pages from GW1, and in my page structure I meant for these galleries to be on the Light armor, Medium armor and Heavy armor pages. What do you think? - anja 04:43, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

The reason I went for division by race is because the appearance of a single armor set will slightly differ between, say, human and asura. I certainly like your page structure at the moment, but there doesn't appear to be light / medium / heavy armor pages, instead they redirect to the Scholar / Adventurer / Soldier pages. I'm all for having seperate pages for armor though, as on the GWs1 wiki. It's also worth noting that links to Charr Armor A and Asuran Armor A would both link to the same place, with a more detailed description of the armor and pieces. Typically people look up armor to see what it looks like first, then find out where to buy it, so I presumed following a GWs1 similar model would be ideal. (Sorry, forgot to sign my last comment.)

I think we should unredirect the Light armor etc and put the galleries there. Or, if there are too many armors, maybe make galleries on the Acolyte's armor page with images for all races so you can see the small differences. And your redirects you mentioned, for charr acolyte armor etc etc. So it's easily searchable :) Feel free to edit my structure btw, if you find some problems or better suggestions. It's meant to be a project page for more people :) - anja 17:31, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
