Talk:RuneScape Wiki

A Wiki Craze
Doesn't making all these new wiki's help banned players come back?
 * Yes. But if they use names from before then most likely they'll be immediately banned.--Richard 22:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it's not like we can get rid of all the other wikis. C Teng 23:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

New main page proposal
A new design for the main page can be found at User:Skill/Main Page. Please say weather or not you think this should be the new main page design. 03:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks great, so yes.  03:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks fine, I support. 03:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I prefer the way it currently looks. 06:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I prefer the current layout also. Christine Talk 21:35, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I dislike the current Main Page design mainly for these reasons: That's pretty much my rant. Your Main Page is nice Skill. I'd like to see some changes but I like yours better than the current one.--Richard 22:21, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Too many lines are used in the boxes . I don't get why certain sections require these lines. In my opinion, they make the text look very ugly.
 * 2) News. I believe that game news and wiki news should be in one box. Game updates can be linked to their own articles (I don't really care about the little blurb Jagex puts out for each new update meaning it can be left out or included in the update page), with wiki news or whatever remaining the same though in the same template. In other words, all news should be in.
 * 3) The poll is hideous. I just hate the dotted lines; it just does not look nice. However, this cannot be fixed due to not being editable.
 * 4) The Wikia gaming banner I'd prefer to see underneath all boxes on the very bottom of the page. It looks nicer stretched across the page.
 * 5) I don't like how featured articles are up for a week. I'd like to see it change every week or two (after all, there are over articles).
 * 6) The "top content" box isn't that great. What I find works good is linking to categories that are neatly spread across the entire page or at the bottom of the page.
 * I like Skill's version of the main page better tan the current one.-- 00:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

You're design is good, Skill, but I think that the "User of the Month" should be higher up, and I think the "Top Content" should stay where it is. 15:25, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree, the main page is doing well for the most part currently, it's not like the world map article that desperately needs a new pic after the GE & now the wilderness updates came out.Azaz129 01:02, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Languages
Um.. is there any point to having all these other languages when RuneScape can only be played in English and German? 02:25, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I've seen people speaking Spanish, Dutch, and French in-game. Players from other countries may know limited English (it may be their second language), but would understand articles better in their native language, which is why those wikis have been created. 02:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

It's not possible to create a german RuneScape Wiki, right? 00:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If someone wanted a German RuneScape Wiki created, they could go to Wikia Central at www.wikia.com and request it to be created. That's how all the others were created, as sister projects to this wiki. 01:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Grand Exchange Market Watch
I think we should include the Grand Exchange Market Watch on the main page under popular articles. I know it is only getting started but I know that there will be more items being watched as more people become aware of it. I think it could also boost traffic to the page and would help keep it updated as often as possible. --Makemesmile 23:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

trivia on main page
we should have the all new Trivia section on the main page so i may be expanded more —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.173.218.223 (talk).
 * The main page isn't a place to promote edits. If the page has low traffic, there's no reason to expand it. [[Image:Expert dragon archer hat.png|25px]]Doomedrusher|Talk| |Contributions| 22:34, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * many people like to read trivia about the game and this would help them find it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.173.218.223 (talk).

There is a search button for people who would like to find it. Also, please remember to sign your comments =) Doomedrusher|Talk| |Contributions| 22:41, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

quotes
Have we stopped doing the quote of the week thingy, or popular quotes/ cos this one from evil bob is brill!

"Bob: Sorry I am too busy marking my territory. Player: Your territory? This place is ruled by Grand Highmage Gower and his minions. Bob: I think not. They are my minions. And I let them think he is in charge. I’m the real power behind the throne."
