Hi everybody. I'm Felix Omni, bureaucrat of GuildWiki, the unofficial Guild Wars wiki. Our site is no longer hosted by wikia; as of today we are hosted by Curse. The new URL is http://www.guildwiki.org.

Just like with PvX Wiki, you can reclaim your old account by using the User Migration Tool. Preferences do not carry over from wikia, so be sure to set them before editing. I hope to see a lot of new faces!

Excellent news. I've always preferred Guildwiki over the official one.

I've been waiting for this ever since Wikia started using that annoying new layout and PvX made the jump. Happy to see it was so quick!

I love to use both wikis, as they usually provide a slightly different spin on a given topic, and GuildWiki often has articles the official one doesn't. Also, the GuildWiki armor galleries are way better. Very valuable resource!

I'll have to update my bookmarks and keymarks.

Glad to see the new site up and running.

I've always hated wikia sites, not the content; just the way they are all always so ugly or tacky. They needlessly clutter up every single page. That current WoW background and banner looks really bad with some of the other wikia's.

They are still independent wikis so it's still their choice.

Anybody know of any "meta wiki" that wikis all the wikis that you could hope to wiki?

Interwiki links are handled through a special table in the database that translates a specific wiki-link prefix into a URL prefix. Currently, the wiki prefix pvx: is being translated to the Wikia URL, but that should get fixed today.

Awesome news once again! Thanks a lot! Updating my bookmarks like I did with PvX

Edit: By the way, Kvinna, will you also become involved in administering PvX and GuildWiki on behalf of Curse like you are with Guru?

Just as a sidenote,

I would bear Felix's children.

That is all.
