PvXwiki talk:Meta Builds

Platform for improvement. Frosty  po!  21:28, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * lol i think you covered most of it --[[Image:Tai_Sig.png]] 21:28, 23 February 2009 


 * my thoughts is that the template is unneeded (personally I find it ugly but that's just me =p), you could just add a category instead. If this policy is approved, i'd suggest just adding it to PvX:RV instead of keeping it as it's own policy.  ~ PheNaxKian Sysop   21:33, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd like to keep it here during discussion, it can be moved later. Personally, we need something to show whether shit is meta or some fags theorycraft. Either an addition to build tags or a new tag is my preference over just a category. No one looks at cats anyway. - [[Image:Misery_Cow.png|19x19px]] Misery Says Moo   21:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I did suggest somewhere to update the Build templates so you could have this build is part of the meta yadayadyada Frosty  po!  21:36, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Frosty has all the answers >: --[[Image:Tai_Sig.png]] 21:38, 23 February 2009 
 * well it would be possiable to update the build tags with a PvP/PvE meta tag (basically the same as we have it say PvP HB or something), if that's what you want.  ~ PheNaxKian Sysop   21:41, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No that wouldn't be right, since PvP meta isn't really an "area". Let me Paint my idea [[Image:Frostrage.jpg|19px]]Frosty <font color="Blue"> po!  21:44, 23 February 2009 (UTC)



By adding say |Meta| to the list, it will add a note saying it is in the meta game (then link to the meta category/guide), but I am not the wikilingo guy so I have no idea whether its possible and what not. <font color="Blue">Frosty <font color="Blue"> po!  21:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sure it's doable. You'd be best asking one of our More code knowledgeable admins. <font color="#4F94CD"> ~ PheNaxKian <font color="#9400D3">Sysop   21:58, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It can be done very easily if  is used.   would be better of course, I need more time to review the template in order to make it work, though. ~ <tt style="text-decoration:overline;letter-spacing:1px"><font color="#444">ĐONT <font color="#444">* <font color="#444">SYSOP </tt> 22:16, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I vote make the process to add it to meta long and arduous, so random anons can't add their bad theorycrafts to it =/ --[[Image:Tai_Sig.png]] <small style="font-variant:small-caps"><font face="verdana" color="black" variant="small caps">22:21, 23 February 2009 
 * A consensus is needed, so yea, and if some anons just put it on non-meta builds simply revery and bring it up on the talk page, if they keep doing it tell and admin as they have broken PvX:1RV [[Image:Frostrage.jpg|19px]]<font color="Blue">Frosty <font color="Blue"> po!  22:23, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Fuck consensi, they don't work on PvX, make it a BM-only thing. Rickyvantof 22:25, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree on that, but that might be tough to do? --[[Image:Tai_Sig.png]] <small style="font-variant:small-caps"><font face="verdana" color="black" variant="small caps">22:27, 23 February 2009 
 * Nah, BM's would completely ignore all PvE builds and they can't be expected to update the PvP meta section all the time. This policy would also require our BM's to be very active GW players.. I'd rather trust active players to update it. I'd also prefer the note on the Great template to jump out a little more. -- -Ch  ao  s-   08:37, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Bringing this back up
This should be merged into the Real Vetting policy, and I'd like it if the meta tag could be incorporated somehow into the Great/Good templates. It'd look a lot neater than having two separate tags. RV already has a small section on Meta tagging, but this is a bit clearer. <font face="Courier New" color="Black">Toraen <font face="Courier New" color="DarkGoldenrod">TheJanitor 23:56, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of merging (which is a different tag btw ;D), but the BM section needs to be removed. We have a whopping 2 BMs active right now, and by active I mean that they contribute once every other day or so. Anyone should be able to tag as long as they can prove the build is meta. <font color="Black" face="cambria">Karate [[File:KJ for sig.png]] <font color="Black" face="cambria">Jesus  <font face="Arial" color="gray" size="1">00:00, 7 January 2010
 * In that case, we might as well just fail this again right away (lol). The Real Vetting Meta blurb covers what we'd do if BMs aren't the ones monitoring Meta status. Of course, they still have final say on what is/isn't meta. <font face="Courier New" color="Black">Toraen <font face="Courier New" color="DarkGoldenrod">TheJanitor [[image:ToraenSig2.png]] 00:07, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * As they should, but with so few active BMs it would be ignorant of us to assume they could tag every single meta build. <font color="Black" face="cambria">Karate [[File:KJ for sig.png]] <font color="Black" face="cambria">Jesus  <font face="Arial" color="gray" size="1">00:18, 7 January 2010
 * considering this is already in place (in terms of tagging) in RV why does this need discussing further? <font color="#4169E1"> ~ PheNaxKian <font color="#8A2BE2">talk  11:25, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
