RTE templates
I was wondering if it was possible to change the list of templates that are in the drop-down menu in the insert section of the RTE. 03:03, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * This what you had in mind? =o 03:06, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * MediaWiki:Editor-template-list <- That? (Saved ya the time of reading ^.-) 03:09, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, in the RTE in the insert section, there is a drop down menu titled "templates" which has Infobox, Welcome, WelcomeIP, Delete and Wikipedia. I was wondering if there was a way to change this list. Okay next question, is there a way to change this that only affects one user, like the monaco sidebar and toolbox? 03:12, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, there isn't (that I know of). 03:14, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 03:16, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could ask on the w:c:Forum:Community Central Forum, some of the people there are pretty knowledgeable and may know some code for you =o. 03:18, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, this code will override the list for a single user. It should be placed at the bottom of your user javascript file.

/* Override RTE template list */ window.RTETemplatesDropdown = [ 'Welcome Notice', 'No Vandal', 'Stub' ];

Just change the list as needed. -- 03:48, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * THANK YOU YOU ROCK  03:54, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to change what templates appear depending on what namespace I'm in? 04:22, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Like you have Quarenon with templates.js? 04:46, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Stubs and "Needs Image" Categories
I just have a few questions about these two categories. First of all, nearly every article I view is tagged with "This article is a stub". I don't know about you all, but there is only so much one can say about certain articles. If people can obviously not come up with more to say about certain articles, why do we need to have them stamped with a Stub? Secondly, there are a few articles with the "Needs Image" category which seem to have all the images they can possibly get. A few examples would be attack, defence, magic, gorgonite ore, bathus rock.... So, why do these articles need *more* images? 03:26, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * First, do you have any examples of these articles? And second, I'm not sure about gorgonite ore and bathus rock, but I find they get that category from the skill infobox template. 03:34, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, *opens stub page*. Verak (the one that originally made me question this), Bird (Nature altar), Berserker, Benjamin, Barman (Grand Tree), Bat mask...
 * Well we should just follow the proposal in Forum:What constitutes a stub article?. I don't think any of those are really stubs under that. 04:33, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's still a discussion so don't follow it's proposal just yet, and your link is broken (it's a bug), use this one: Forum:What constitutes a stub article?. 04:38, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Skin change on page
Hey I was wondering if it was possible to make it so that a user's skin changes when they go on a certain page. 07:56, August 22, 2010 (UTC) http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&useskin=monaco http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&useskin=monobook http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&useskin=wikiaphone This has to be an a full url. Just replace the "RuneScape:User_help" with the page you want and change the &useskin=monaco or &useskin=monobook or &useskin=wikiaphone to which skin you want (these are the only choices). 08:09, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why, yes there is! like this:
 * And the first part can't be something like http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape:User_help it needs to be http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help with the index.php?title= replacing the wiki/ part. 08:13, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to change a user's theme when they go on a certain page? 08:54, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, add &usetheme=sapphire to the end like here: http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=sapphire. Replace "sapphire" the with one of these:
 * {| class="wikitable"


 * sapphire || http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=sapphire
 * jade || http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=jade
 * sky || http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=sky
 * spring || http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=spring
 * beach || http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=beach
 * forest || http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=forest
 * moonlight || http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=moonlight
 * carbon || http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=carbon
 * obsession || http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=obsession
 * }
 * There are no custom themes that you can use with this method but if you want to try them you can add the them to your .css page and click "Preview". 09:15, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just found out, I was wrong, you can use http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape:User_help by using a "?" instead of a "&" in &usetheme=obsession or &useskin=monobook (changing the "obsession" and "monobook" to which you want). Like this: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape:User_help?usetheme=obsession 04:27, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sweet, is there code that one could put on a page to have it automatically view in a certain theme? 06:06, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know about that... I have no idea. 06:13, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * carbon || http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=carbon
 * obsession || http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:User_help&usetheme=obsession

Defaults
This doesn't really explain it, so how do you use defaults? 08:46, August 24, 2010 (UTC) How would I make what is in the first parameter link to, for example, Defence? 09:04, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Figured it out, but how would I make it link to something. For example,
 * EDIT CONFLICT: "bar", you should see this as "bar" but the code is " ". The parameter "foo" has a default of "bar", that means if "foo" is not defined (like this: ), it will define "foo" as "bar".  09:08, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Going into source mode shows that you did just type "bar" not .  09:12, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not that, the first things in quotations. 09:14, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * ATHOTHER EDIT CONFLICT: I think you mean as the is no Template:1. And you define that parameter and because "1" parameter is also called the "unnamed parameter 1", you can either define it like this: " " or this: " ".  09:14, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Err...what does that have to do with anyhting? Maybe I wanna not define the parameter. 21:38, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay I am writing: MEEP overrides the default option, which is MOOOO. My question is how do I make MEEP link to something in the template?  21:42, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * MEEP overrides the default of unnamed parameter 1 (MOOOO), now you want to "link to something in the template", do you mean you want "MEEP" to produce a certain result, like MEEP = Defence ? 21:57, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. 21:59, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, then you want With this, MEEP will instead produce the result Defence and if anything else it will default to MOOOO. In case your wondering "#switch" is not a template, it is a parser function.  22:07, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
