Guild Wars 2

I have no idea where to put feedback for the official wiki. I’m not a wiki user and I don’t want to try leaving feedback there and end up accidentally editing a page or deleting something, I know how to use the forums, so I’m asking here.

Basically I just want to express my seething hatred for what they’ve done to the Item Nomenclature page.

There used to be a wonderful table on level 80 gear (under a heading “Triple Attribute” that had all the information on armor sets of different types, indicating craftable or not, and most useful of all, which gemstones lined up with which stat sets.

The new page doesn’t have any of this. And sure, there’s a link to “equipment acquisition by stats” or something like that, but guess what, that link doesn’t have the gemstone information! I’ve had to go back to the old versions of the page just to find what I need!

I checked the edit history comments just to see if there was a reason behind this madness and apparently it was because all that extra USEFUL information didn’t belong on a page called “Item nomenclature”, and that it should be moved so the page contained ONLY information of that type.

Are you serious?

Change the name of the page to something that fits then. I got one, try “AMAZINGLY USEFUL GATHERING OF INFORMATION ON LEVEL 80 GEAR”. Name it that, that fits everything that could ever be on there!

What we have now is inferior. The purpose of the wiki is to help people find information about the game, right? Well this change does the opposite. I now have to visit 3 pages to find what used to be available in one.

1. Item nomenclature to find out what names = what stats
2. equipment acquisition by stats to find out where to get said items
3. SOME OTHER PAGE I HAVEN’T EVEN FOUND to find out which gemstones = which stat combos

That’s not even cool. And I don’t like it.

So to whom are you actually talking?
The GW2 wiki is maintained by the community.

Here is a list of administrators you can contact.

Another thing is, if you dislike it why not change it? Why don’t you propose a change or actually change it?

Notice something wrong, missing, or unsatisfactory? Feel free to edit pages yourself and make use of discussion pages. Wiki content is created, maintained, and administrated by players. See how you can help.

I think all the information you are looking for is listed on the Equipment Acquisition by Stats page.

The major and minor attributes are listed in the table. If you’re uncertain what each little icon means, you can hover over it to see. (They match the in-game icons.) The nomenclature is also included in the column marked “Prefix.” In the Total Availability column, you can see which stat sets are available for which gear (weapons, armor, backpiece, trinkets, and jewels.) Finally, the rest of the table tells you which equipment you can receive using various methods of acquisition (crafting, karma, dungeon tokens, etc.)

If you need something a little more clearcut for those jewels, there is a handy table further down on the same page: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Equipment_acquisition_by_stats#Universal_upgrade_components

This page is an amazingly useful gathering of information on level 80 gear. It just might take a minute to get used to the format.
