FatalEagle.9286 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Since information about game items is in the wiki page can a wiki page be opened by right clicking on an item? Can an improvement be made in this way?(/wiki is not useful.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokomis.5076 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Why is /wiki not useful? Next one wants rightclick on a PvP Champion to the wiki page. Next one wants rightclick on any skill available to the wiki page. Next one wants rightclick on any TP/Gemshop entry to the wiki page. I think it would clutter up the menu too much.

FatalEagle.9286 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 All information about the items is on the wiki pages. It can only be done for items. I do not think it will lead to confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the /wiki command and the item name you want to look up, there is no reason for a right click option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uden Reavstone.3426 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I think that "/wiki [insert article name]" is all I need, but I wouldn't mind a return of GW1's F10 help menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatalEagle.9286 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 C'mon guys, why the user manual of the game is outside? To access information; 1) enter 2)write \wiki 3) go to bag and press shift + click item then again enter! whereas item on right click goto wiki page. Which is more useful?

To be sure, it's hosted by ArenaNet (or by some CDN or other on their behalf, same difference), but it is written *by the players*, not by ArenaNet. If you go on there and you find an update by "cynique", you can be totally sure that *I* wrote it, and I do *not* work for ArenaNet. That said, it would be a useful feature, although it would immediately spark complaints here that some brand-new item that's only just become available isn't on the wiki.

Randulf.7614 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 The current system works fine. Coding in an alternative way of doing something that the existing way does pretty much perfectly, doesn't seem to me a good use of limited dev resources. Yes it would prob save a few seconds of typing in the item name and make it a tad more convenient, but it's not really worth the hassle for them to implement it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Blackfeather.6509 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Another thing: it's pretty hard to inadvertedly run the /wiki command, but a misclick in a meny is common. Badly timed switching out of the game can be... unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since both methods lead to the same result, they're both useful. This is all about your personal QoL. :# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't seem to work when playing with a german client.

Whenever I do this, it always says that "there were no results matching the query" Keeping the wikis up-to-date is a large task, requiring a lot of commitment from the community. If you find that a /wiki did not take you to an associated page, do your best to try and help out. The /wiki command works by associating in-game ID numbers and those that players have attached to wiki pages using infoboxes. This number is what you would have seen other than the "no results" message. If you're looking for direction or help, the German language wiki has [its own version of On Wiki of Gold](https://wiki-de.guildwars2.com/wiki/GW2Wiki:Projekte/Goldenes_Wiki "its own version of On Wiki of Gold"). I'd link you to more helpful pages on the German language wiki, but that's a language I never picked up :/ . _Edit_: It would also be proper for me to link to the [French On Wiki of Gold page](https://wiki-fr.guildwars2.com/wiki/GW2Wiki:De_l%27Or_sur_le_Wiki "French On Wiki of Gold page") and the [spanish On Wiki of Gold page](https://wiki-es.guildwars2.com/wiki/GW2Wiki:Proyectos/Wiki_de_Oro "Spanish On Wiki of Gold page").

FatalEagle.9286 Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Well, Which one would you prefer? 1) /wiki 2) Right Click Please answer in a friendly way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 The Wiki works fine for me. I usually have it open in my browser, so it takes no time at all to look something up. Right-clicking would be a QoL, but there are many other QoL features I'd prefer the Devs work on first. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely prefer 1. Right-clicking is going to lead to a lot of misclicking and is going to become a problem soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only argument for 2 that I actually see is making the function more visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatalEagle.9286 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 is the right click dangerous for "use" or "Deposit item" or "Mail item to" or others ? They are dangerous in this case. I don't think you will have problems. My goal is that it is user friendly. Anyway we continue to use "/ wiki". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonblaze.3175 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Why not something better than a right click? Could be simply a shortcut that essentially does "/wiki [item]" all in one? Essentially just a glorified macro. A example being F5, which is quite common for being the 'help' button. No chance of misclick and saves time. Could just either hover+F5 or hold F5 and click said thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
