User talk:Terraveria

Welcome

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] —Idris 23:37, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Oh, awesome! Thanks so much! I'll be sure to add some of those in when I get the chance. :) Rubyssus (talk) 23:39, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

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)

Sweet, thanks for the extra info! I'll be sure to take a closer look at all of this soon. Cheers! -Rubyssus (talk) 01:12, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
