Welcome[edit]
Hi, welcome to the wiki! Looks like you're doing a great job so far, but don't hesitate to reach out to me or another veteran user if you need help with anything! —Idris 23:24, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks! Trying my best. One thing I could use help with is knowing how to grab data for coordinates and being able to add that in for POIs and such. Rubyssus (talk) 23:31, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
- That stuff is pulled from the API. Luckily, our awesome sysop User:Chieftain_Alex often does the hard work for us and pastes it all onto the new map's talk page for easy reference. To add it to an infobox, use the parameter
| coordinates = [coords-go-here]

- Yeah we've got pages like Widget:Map table to help get coordinates for regular location stuff.
- If you want to capture coordinates directly from ingame for anything that isn't in the API, then any methods will use the API:MumbleLink. Personally if I'm grabbing coordinates I like to use one of the methods on Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Projects/NPC Coordinates/Guide#Generating coordinates. -Chieftain Alex 00:23, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
