Colors
April fools pranks/jokes are supposed to be clever and funny, they shouldn't be annoying and make the site less effective. - Teltic

Can the background/behind-text color be changed back to solid white? It automatically makes your eyes strain to read.

Yeah, there should be an option or something? The Black and red... IT BURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!! PlayerFroob Talk 04:42, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

It's April 2nd in UK now, it should be changed back by NOW. Or I will quit this wiki FOREVER. 13:48, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

well try dark runescape wiki is basically the same but darker all the same stufff so try dark runescape wikiThe Blogger 19:57, June 4, 2010 (UTC) 19:27, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not all the same stuff, this wiki has better material, the dark colours are distracting, and even if you like them, you can easily change your own skin in Special:MyPage/monaco.css. 19:55, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * ok it was my first post im not perfect!!
 * Ha just saying. I hate dark wiki themes; they're impossible to read. 20:04, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

ummm was rs wiki hacked or is that on purpose...its not april fools day everywhere yet lol Wolverine9988 02:04, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter what it is everywhere, because this wiki uses GMT time. 02:05, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

If you don't like it, just disable the custom April Fools skin. That's what I did. 02:06, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

LMAO so funny. I hate when he trips over the server cord :S.


 * Thats so retarded! what's the darn point?

How do u disable or change the skin thingy 05:14, April 2, 2010 (UTC) If you still are seeing the Andrew Gower Wiki try this:


 * Internet Explorer: hold down the Ctrl key and click the Refresh or Reload button, or press Ctrl+F5.
 * Firefox: hold down the Shift key while clicking Reload; alternatively press Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl-Shift-R.
 * Opera users have to clear their caches through Tools→Preferences
 * Konqueror and Safari users can just click the Reload button.
 * Chrome: press Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5

Otherwise you can go to Special:Preferences, and change the skin there. 18:21, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Wiki Pic change?
is it just me, or did someone change the wiki's thumbnail to a picture of andrew gower with retardedly large eyes?

also, in relation to read this now section 47 i think, yes, there are angry mastodons on this wiki. its called a TzTok_Jad and it wil 1 hit you before you pop into existence. Mwuh, Mwuhahee
 * APRIL FOOLS' AHAHAHAHAHA -- 23:27, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

HTML tidying
Someone should use the code on the main page so that it looks better.

Constituion not listed alphabetically in the sidebar
In the sidebar under Skills then Non-member skills, constituion is listed where hitpoints used to be, but it should be moved between Attack and Cooking. -- 21:41, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Moved. -- 21:43, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Pures

Contents
Could an admin arrange the 3 column list in the contents section in alphabetical order? (the 3rd column is kinda messed up) Armeng90 02:04, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could edit RuneScape:Main Page. 02:09, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I edited it, thanks. Armeng90 02:20, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * NeutralDone - Thanks, it has been corrected. 02:24, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Give users the option to personally edit sections on their Main Page
I believe that it may be possible, using, to allow users to edit their Main Page. If a user wanted to edit one of their Main Page sections, they would edit a specific userpage of theirs (i.e. User:Someone/Mainpage-contents-mod). The Main Page would attempt to call up this page whether or not it exists. If it does, it takes the data and uses it to modify the section.

I know that I could code it, but I'm not sure if could be used in this way because the JavaScript is loaded after the wikicode. If it does, however, I would like to modify RS:MP to add this feature, and I would like to add a guide to use it.

Thank you for listening to the worst best thing since sliced bread. 19:59, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Couldn't find the proper place for this...
...but I love the RuneScape Wiki! I've been using it since '08 when I first heard of it. It's helped me with everything RuneScape related that I needed to know. If something didn't help correctly, I'd edit it for the better. All my edits have been in good faith, so if I goofed, don't hold it against me negatively, please xD

Anyway, I just wanted to say that all the editors here are awesome. :D 07:08, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the best place for this kind of things is your userpage...Joeytje50 13:08, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Raian.  21:56, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * how can you change this 13:04, June 6, 2010 (UTC) 20:01, June 4, 2010 (UTC) to something with a pic?
 * Check here: RuneScape:Signatures. 20:05, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Opinion poll suggestion
What is your favorite quest(series)? Where could you suggest those things? plz answer on my talk -- Joeytje50 13:08, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Language flags under header
I was thinking that instead of that column in the sidebar, we could have flags for the different languages, taken from the RuneScape website. It would look something like this:

02:04, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Bad idea, as there are 12 language interwiki links on the page, plus would be impossible, or at least ridiculously difficult to make it auto-update. 02:05, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12 language interwiki links on what page? 02:09, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * On the mainpage, the links there decide what links are shown in the sidebar. Currently

                  02:12, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Where would it be placed?? Still on the sidebar or somewhere on the front page?? You didn't say. 02:11, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Front page. First of all, it isn't that hard to auto-update, if we decide to include every single wiki. Second, here, I've only included wikis that have RuneScape communities in the forums; we can have a "More" link. 02:15, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * The 'include all wikis' is a bad idea, as most of them are junk/spam/empty. Also, the languages sidebar can also appear on any page with an interwiki link, and the links available will be different than the main page. 02:23, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, so, say we only include the above wikis. I don't see a problem with having links to them from the main page; after all, Wikipedia does it. 02:33, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, if we want to include wikis that don't have official RuneScape communities (Taiwanese Mandarin, for example), we can simply make a flag. Added a Taiwanese flag easily, above. 02:50, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Anyway this is the wrong place to discuss this, removing a box and adding flags should be brought to the yg. 02:53, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll add a discussion in the morning; it's getting late here. 03:01, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Disclaimer
The disclaimer down the bottom of the front page no longer applies as we are now officially affiliated with Jagex. I have no idea how it should be changed. 04:56, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, looking at the official guidelines, only Gold/Platinum fansites are official. 11:49, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Memory issues using Chrome?

 * Hello, this is Fruit.Smoothie here, I just wanted to bring this up; I'm not sure if this affects only Google Chrome, but lately while using it, every time I try to access the main page the page would freeze and Chrome would crash either due to memory usage errors or scripts not being handled/loaded correctly. If a programmer or coder could somehow reproduce the problem using Chrome, and fix it if possible, then that would be great, as I'm not sure if it's just me or affecting more users too.
 * Thanks! Fruit.Smoothie 05:13, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know, sorry. I use Chrome, and the wiki works fine for me. I'm not a programmer or coder, though. 12:25, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

"The fountain in the basement of the heroe's guild basement"
That is what appears on the featured image tab of the page. Needs corection. I'd do it myself, but I'm not an admin. 00:14, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * redundant, ain't it? I'll take a look. 00:18, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed it. -- 00:25, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Front page ads...
I'm sorry but I dont know where else to put this. On the front page, I saw two RWT ads, And when I came back several times, They displayed again... I did'nt get a picture because I was unfamiliar with how to upload images on this wiki (I thought you could do it by URL location). Is this a big concern, Or does this happen a lot? 16:22, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sannse is trying to take care of these for us. 16:22, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * May I add there is also WoW adverts, which seem a little um, strange since the two communties are "rivals" 16:26, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * One more thing... There are some pornographic adverts for some game called "Rappelz". People have stooped so low... 20:21, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with Nagai yume, what a useless advert. 17:47, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Get an AD blocker if they're so offensive o.o  [Composite 4] (My Talk)

where do you get them? --86.41.183.165 19:18, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * It depends on what browser you use. But don't worry about rule-breaking/offensive ads; the RSW gets rid of them as fast as we can. 22:55, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * AdBlockPlus ftw! 23:12, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

TzTok-Jad featured article is pre-Constitution
When Jad's page comes up as the featured article, it says "can hit over 90 on those not using protection prayers". I was unable to find this anywhere I could edit it, and I'll also post this onto Jad's discussion page.ledzepmtg in most reference frames 01:57, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

What?!
Who fucked up the sidebar o.o They took away all the useful links.  [Composite 4] (My Talk)
 * Seems to be one of Wikia's "upgrades". 21:35, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * This was caused by an error in our site JavaScript and has been fixed. -- 21:51, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks so much guys for fixing it ^.^  [Composite 4] (My Talk)

Logdotzip riot?
What is this idiocy about. There is a riot in world 66, but why? I can't understand what's going on in the chaos. Few people are trying to break it up, but it is out of hand.Master Chump 04:02, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Typo?
"Featured article Contact! is a one of RuneScape's toughest " "is a" Thought someone could fix it, I don't have the right premissions to edit front page so this is the best I can do..

23:35, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral Thanks for spotting it. 05:32, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

It would be nice if the recent updates posts, espically with quests like the recently released love story, had the title link to an article on the new/altered content.--Solstice0100 13:39, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

OMF WTF FIX NAO
OMFG THE LOGIN BUTTON IS BROKEN AND NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN CLICKED. OMFG FIX IT PLZZ IM IN A HURRY.
 * Yeah, it's an annoying glitch that's happened to me a few times, but only staff can fix it, I think. Unless someone here can invent some clever CSS code. 23:45, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh wait, I forgot: try this. 21:15, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Overdue change
Would an admin please replicate this change on the actual main page. Thank you. 13:45, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Confirmed Future Updates Tab?
Hi, could someone please tell me what happened to it? It used to be there but now it isn't.Red Dog31 21:48, July 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * You might not have seen the notice in the SiteNotice that we've shortned down the sidebar greatly. At the bottom of RS:SIDEBAR you can find a quick and easy method to revert to the old sidebar if you'd like. 22:09, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you are just looking for what the future updates are, see UU. Cheers, 05:27, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Random Article
Hey, I think there should be a random article button like on wikipedia. Sometimes, I just want to browse random articles to see what cool things are on RuneScape or to find something to do. I don't know, just a suggestion. Doom monger6 21:42, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * There's one at the bottom of every page, I think there's one in the toolbox (thing below the sidebar), and here's another one. 22:08, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ohhhh, didn't see that, thanks! Doom monger6 03:56, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
