Category talk:All working farming builds

NEW CHALLENGE
Time to make a monk farming build that is: Canderouss
 * NOT 55
 * NOT 600
 * NOT any variant of the above listed
 * NOT a current farming build switched around
 * IS a good way of farming.
 * Uh...why?  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ [[Image:Panic_srsbsns.gif|37px]] 23:52, 30 April 2008 (EDT)
 * why not o_0Canderouss
 * Because the ones that abuse the percentage clause of PS work well and there's no reason to go out of your way to not use those builds. Especially with something as easily accessable like a 600 build. Especially now that PB's been fixed. - PANIC!  [[Image:Panic_sig4.png|50px|18px]]  sexiness!  04:51, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

Whatever that build was, it should not have been posted there, I can cop/paste it here if you would like to see it and put it onto a proper build page, but please do not alter pages like that :) --Sam6555 14:56, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

i was thinking...
...of changing some of the build categories around. Currently the farming category includes three main types of builds: traditional farming builds like boss/drop farmers, dungeon/elite area speed clears and dungeon running builds. I suggest making this category into just the former - since the latter are already part of 'speed clear' and/or 'running' categories. I just think it would help to clarify what are traditional farming builds from speed clears and builds mainly used for running. - Athrun Feya  - 17:34, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Bump. Would be useful when looking to sort out the farming category. - Athrun Feya - 19:45, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * The overlap is a point pointless. I'm fine with the idea. Karate [[File:KJ for sig.png]] Jesus  21:26, 11 January 2010
 * Detagged all the offending builds and in the process of sorting out all the horribly random naming conventions used. - Athrun Feya - 15:16, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Sorting
Not sure where to start this discussion but would it be possible to change the Categories pages such as the "All Working Farming Builds"" page to sort by main profession rather than alphabetical order? So instead of A, B, C, D, etc., it would be Any, Assassin, Dervish, Elementalist, Mesmer, Monk, and etc.  I do not know why it was built like this.  My only guess was that no one knew if new classes would come out or something.  That is obviously not going to happen at this point.  I think this should be carried throughout all the Categories.

 * The reason the categories work like this is due to how mediawiki category pages inherently work. They take the title of the page (minus namespace) and sort alphabetically. It's not really intended for a specific video game's build prefixes. There might be a way to change this but it's probably above what we can do wiki-side. Regardless, I have been planning on replacing the main page links to the raw categories to sortable DPL pages. I just have to brush up on DPL to actually make those pages and then we can have them sort however we'd like. -Toraen (talk) 13:25, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
