PvXwiki talk:Build Archival

PvX:ARCHIVE was about archiving talk pages, not builds, so this wouldn't really be an addition to it :P &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( sysop ) 17:18, 10 March 2008 (EDT)


 * Done. So, thoughts? --[[image:GoD Sig3.jpg|20px]] Guild of  Deals  17:19, 10 March 2008 (EDT)


 * Also, can anyone think of a name? Since we already have PvX:ARCHIVE, I need sometihng else, gogogo! --[[image:GoD Sig3.jpg|20px]] Guild of  Deals  17:39, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
 * PvX:UPDATE? &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( sysop ) 17:45, 10 March 2008 (EDT)


 * Not bad, as archives come with updates usually. Do you think this would be a viable policy? No point of submitting it if it's gonna be vetoed. --[[image:GoD Sig3.jpg|20px]] Guild of  Deals  17:50, 10 March 2008 (EDT)


 * Well, isn't this somewhat necessary in the long run? I'm not really active in the PvX wiki community to know how this place operates though. If there is the same amount of wikilawyering as other places, you might want to change some words around since not all nerfs/buffs to skills will significantly impact a build. Cripshot is indeed a good example. PlacidBlueAlien 02:18, 14 March 2008 (EDT)


 * Well, the older Cripshot fell out of fashion with the introduction of Nightfall, which then brought in Natural Stride (replaced Distortion) and Mending Touch (replaced Blackout to overcome Conditionways). I mainly made this as after March 6, there was a HUGE flood of builds to be archived, yet some didn't know if Other builds should be archived, Good builds, etc. --[[image:GoD Sig3.jpg|20px]] Guild of  Deals  07:12, 14 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Seems pretty much good to go to me, a quick check didn't turn up anything else that covers this, move to policy? Perhaps it needs a minor cleanup, mention of archive template, date archived, reason for archival etc. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  10:35, 29 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Well, this was in response to the massive March 6th update and massive archival issues that followed, so it may not apply to anything right now. --[[image:GoD Sig3.jpg|20px]] Guild of  Deals  15:10, 29 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Yeah, but it contains good info and another big update might hit the pipe again. We can always hope. - [[image:miserysig1.jpg]] isery   -TALK  15:17, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Support/oppose?
I support this policy, we don't have any guidelines for archiving build pages. I'd perhaps like to see the addition of archive templates somewhere (just a section to say these are templates you can use kinda thing.) PheNaxKian Sysop   11:03, 13 September 2008 (EDT)
 * We have quite some policies already. I think the "Archive vs. Delete" section should be added to Archived-Build, but the rest isn't needed. ~ ĐONT * SYSOP  02:12, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

delete?
Anyone got reasons not to delete (I added the main points to PvX:EB. PheNaxKian Sysop   08:26, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Failed proposal? Yes. Delete? No. ~ ĐONT * SYSOP  08:30, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
 * hmm, i was thinking it seemed pointless to call it failed because it hasn't failed as such. It';'s just been added to a different policy. But a failed tag works to. PheNaxKian Sysop   08:33, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
