User talk:Gangsterls

This is my talk page! I joined on 2/12/2007. My RuneScape username is Gangsterls, so if you need to contact me you can add me to your friends list and send a private message to me if I'm on. I usually spend quite a bit of time in the afternoons after school and on the weekends on RuneScape. Also, I live in the eastern United States so I'm on EST time.

Welcome
Welcome to the wiki. Nice to have more hands to work on this initiative. Great to see your userpage shaping up. Wiki's arent that hard after all. And i agree that the money making guide is highly ineffective. Have a look at my attempt in developing the financial pages section. --Miw 15:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks =), as you can see I've gotten the signature and some templates figured out. I'll make a section in my talk about the financial guides too. ~Gangsterls

Money Making Guides
It has come to my attention that our money making guide is in dire need of repair. An example of a suggested method for making money under the combat section was: 'A common method is killing blue dragons. Then selling their bones and hide for upwards of 5,000 gp.' Needless to say, this is an absolutely ridiculous entry with no detail that wouldn't help anyone who didn't already know about it. This is the exact kind of lack of accuracy, precision, and detail that is necessary to actually help anyone. I urge other users to work together to improve the financial guides. For some more information see Miw's work in the financial pages section of his talk and the responses there. It would also be great if someone could help create a userbox template for those who are working on this project. =) Responses appreciated and encouraged! --Gangsterls 21:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it has the Under Construction. Ill use the google spell checker to fix and spelling mistakes, and go over grammar myself. I will also change things like GP into Gold pieces. OH, and count me in, I have worked on it before.21:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, great! Also, I redid the thieving part, the stuff it used to have basically said ways to get your thieving to 50, and then ways to make money after that (it only mentioned pickpocketing paladins, which is slow money anyway). I separated it into training and money making methods and expanded the training to level 99, but I'm not sure if we should take the training part out...it should really only be in the Thieving article...--Gangsterls 21:51, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * My sandbox, its at work21:57, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I ran a spell check on some of it, it had too many mispellings so only the first 100 were marked. I'll have to do the rest some time.22:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

List of Missing Articles
While many of our guides are very detailed and helpful, we have managed to omit some important articles. I will try to keep an up-to-date list of missing articles for contributors to see and hopefully help out with. We are missing MANY items...We need about ten contributors to just go to RuneHQ's Item Database and create pages for each item...uses, prices, etc.

For example, the following links are all fairly common in runescape, but we are missing articles on them:


 * Slave Robes
 * Jangerberries
 * Baby Dragon

Please notify me of any more! Thanks! --Gangsterls 21:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * We shouldn't really pilfer other sites content, though using it for reference is ok. Check out Special:Wantedpages which lists the most linked to articles that aren't created yet. --[[Image:Smithingimg.PNG]] Eucarya Talk 23:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok...I noticed that there actually is an article for rannar seeds. Why doesn't the link work? --Gangsterls 23:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Because you spelt it wrong? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  07:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I deleted those who now have pages...is there such thing as baby green drags anyway? --Gangsterls 21:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  07:52, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, should I just delete this section? --Gangsterls 22:06, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, since this is a discussion page and not a subpage, it should really be somewhere else (User:Gangsterls/Missing articles, for example). JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  11:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Skills Template
You should see the following line in the code.

90+  80+  70+

Now if you want to add a skill here is what you do:

Ex.Now lets say your Fletching level is 85

You would put the following to the right of the 80 image:Fletchingimg|85.PNG dont forget the. --Whiplash 17:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol thanks let me go do that. Gangsterls (I always forget my signature)
 * Ok thanks! Lol as I was putting in the .PNGs, so were you =)! Now let me go do some colors and fonts and have fun with it. I'm pretty much hopeless at code past that =(. Gangsterls.

Skill Images
If you view the skill templates on my user page, you can see that most of the skill images, while excellently taken straight from the game, have blue/white backgrounds. This is unfortunate, as it ruins the immaculate (lol) image of my skill templates. Does anyone know how to edit the image to take out the background? (I just want it changed to make my user page look better lol aren't I selfish. No seriously I'm sure it would make some other pages look better too.)--Gangsterls 19:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * ...Hmm....If I view my user page from my downstairs desktop rather than my upstairs laptop, there is no background around the skill images. Does it depend on the computer? --Gangsterls 19:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds to me like the computer you're using has problems with transparency. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  19:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

MAJOR ERROR
We have a guide for the Runecrafting skill. However, as I was looking at my high scores, the correct name given by Jagex is Runecraft. Is it possible to change a page's name? I know in common RS slang, the name for the skill is RC or Runecrafting. Another common misnomer is calling the Hunter skill 'Hunting'. I'll check the rest of our skill guides to see if we have any other glaring errors.--Gangsterls 17:43, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Runecrafting is called Runecrafting in-game. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  19:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Re:Nomination
Oh my, thank you. I accept, but we have a whole month to go!21:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, hopefully in response to this some others will be nominated and we can get a good couple weeks of voting in. --Gangsterls 21:53, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Signature...
It's erm... Ginormous. I'm not too sure if it's allowed to be that big... 06:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol...it just has every rare! =P I know I should downsize it, but I don't know what to take out...! =(
 * You could downsize the pictures, and make them a link to your name... I'll see if I can do it... 07:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * K thanks I'm not much good with HTML past a little formatting stuff =/.
 * I learned from example... still a n00b at it actually... I'm going to see if this works...

 * =( Nope...idk how to get the picture to link to a different page either. I'll sign with the tildes for now. --Gangsterls 07:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I downsized all the pics to 15 pixels and made the talk and contribs superscript...it's a bit better but still long. Is there a way to put the p hat pics under my name? What about the editcount? I just added it, I think it's something no one else has so it's cool =p but now it's even longer...ahh! Also, how do I make it auto-insert the time into my siggy?? --Gangsterls 08:01, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

LOOK!
Omg lol I was looking at the special pages, and I happened to look at Special:Statistics. Look what I found out:

From RuneScapeWiki RuneScape statistics

There are 13,233 total pages in the database. This includes "talk" pages, pages about RuneScapeWiki, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages. Excluding those, there are 2,977 pages that are probably legitimate content pages. There have been a total of 42,218 page views, and 72,014 page edits since the wiki was setup. That comes to 5.44 average edits per page, and 0.59 views per edit. User statistics

There are 104,742 registered users, of which 15 (or 0.01%) are administrators (see RuneScape:Administrators).

?!!?!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 104,742 registered users?!?!?!?!?! And people say we have too many admins...we only have 15. 15/104,742 is .000143209.....! That's a tiny percentage lol. Where did we get all those users? --Gangsterls 08:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * 104,742 for all wikia users. Not only RuneScape wiki. 21:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Really? How do we check the amount for just RuneScape Wiki? --Gangsterls 21:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Active user list found here : http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Activeusers. It doesn't tell how many though. 21:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Your sig..
Biggest sig i've ever seen. I'm pretty sure the max limit was 2-3 images..Unless they changed it, which i doubt. 21:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * What should I do though? Is there a way to put the images under my name? Also...I was wondering how to put the time in. --Gangsterls 21:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * To put the time in use 5 tiddles.  21:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks...still have the length problem though =/
 * You have to add the after you put – every time, you cant have it in your sig, because it will say march 6 every single time.  21:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

To solve your dillema, put with the raw signature box checked in prefrences, and then all you have to do is type ~. ДҖ-- Huanghe63 talk 22:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Please remove several images from your sig. Limit yourself to your favorite one or two. You have way too many at the moment. Thanks. 23:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * OK OK THE SIG IS FINALLY SMALLER!!!!!! 23:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It's still huge for a sig but it's a start. =/ 23:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

2 Things
Number a) Great work on the Members article!

Letter 2) I found out how to direct images to pages; just re-upload the picture (I don't recommend it, takes up space) and in the text put #Redirect Pagename . Nifty, no? :) 03:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, about the image thing...idk about it cuz then we would have several copies of the same image which all redirected to different user pages... not worth the space. Plus they would all need different names... it would be confusing. I did downsize my sig as best I could. Can't do any more work on the members article 2night i g2g cya 2morrow 03:25, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks...
Your advice helped me get my agility up to 46... So, thanks. Once I get the ability to use the Ectopool shortcut, and I get over 1k big bones, I'll train prayer. ДҖ-- Huanghe63 talk 22:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

LOOK HERE

I tried out one of the other skins. Now at the top of every page it says: ==editb==edit==edite====enlargeb==Enlarge==enlargee====titleb==Gangsterls==titlee====mainb==0==maine====userb==Huanghe63==usere====contentb==

And at the bottom it says: ==contente==

There's no sidebar, topbar, or editbar. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?! Gangsterls at approximately 6:24 pm eastern time, March 7 2007.

Note that it also says: Retrieved from "http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Gangsterls" at the bottom of each page. Also, when I go to special:preferences I see this: ==editb==edit==edite====enlargeb==Enlarge==enlargee== Fatal error: Call to a member function getTitle on a non-object in /usr/wikia/source/wiki16svn/skins/search.php on line 34

OMG THIS IS LIKE A REAL RUNESCAPE WIKI DEATH! I'M GOING INTO WITHDRAWL PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Gangsterls at 6:30 est March 7 2007.


 * Login, then click here. It should reset your skin to the default.   23:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you thank you thank you! Wow I was really upset for a while there =). It didn't actually reset it, but it let me view the preferences page in MonoBook, so I reset it. Those other skins are a menace, lol. Thanks again! 23:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Hilarious Video
Sometimes when I'm bored or tired or whatever, I need a good laugh. So I head on down to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugrlzm7fySE Just check it out. You'll laugh, trust me. 02:25, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Here I'll embed it:   

...Well that didn't work 02:28, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You can just put round the URL, like so:

Whip

 * Lol Got a good point there. Yeah lets keep it at 1.8mil. I see many people at world 2 falador and world 78 buy and sell whips for 1.5 to 1.85mil.02:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Seed
Hi. U changed this template, but didnt check all the pages using it. potato seed,... I left word each out of template, because it is not used with Flower seeds. There each does not applay for Limpwurt seed. It allways grows 3 limps but XP is for all of them.--Alci987 19:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Then make a different template for flower seeds and change the current one to fruit and vegetable seeds only. I can't be expected to organize every project that contributors are working on. If you want to create templates for seeds then make sure they're not messed up yourself...I shouldn't have to do it for you. It was past 2 in the morning and I was tired...I was going to go to sleep but I noticed that your template said 'each (amount) experience', which is pretty bad grammar, no offense. If I missed one, I apologize. I'll fix it now, but in the future, handle your own mistakes and I'll handle mine. Creating two different templates isn't that hard...if you need help just ask. 01:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to rain on your parade...
I don't mean to be a fun-killer, but it appears that you can only have 2 images per signature. :( Also, that video was a wee bit sadistic. =/ 23:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Lolz I'll take out 2 pics. I only liked the christmas cracker and the black phat anyway. The video is a matter of opinion...I thought it was pretty funny. PARADES FTW! 01:45, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure?
I was "using sentence case and not title case." --Wowbagger421 03:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Mouseover each prayer on the prayer interface and that's how their names are. 03:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright then. Why do I have to move the template?  --Wowbagger421 03:52, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

You don't have to move the template, just put the template into each prayer page that you make. Also, capitalize the names of skills. 03:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't understand, I have been putting it into each prayer page, haven't I? --Wowbagger421 03:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, THAT template. Ok.  I didn't know it existed.  --Wowbagger421 03:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It didn't until today, I made it while you were making the first few prayer articles. 05:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Poison
Nope there is only one poison salesman, granted he appears in two locations, but he is the same piece of code, (same npc) like in quests where npcs meet you in different places e.g. the zamorak mage (there are two copies of him)(mini quest) but i'll leave it bcos I see what you are saying.
 * Oh, ok, never knew that, thanks! Please sign your comments with the four tildes ( ~ ) or with a signature just so I know who you are. 17:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

ok I 4got soz ;-) 26 march 9:08am

Signature
What's with your signature? Sometimes it just messes up the pages when you add the time of your edit behind it, like RuneScape:Requests for adminship. Oh, and because you seem to be super active here at the moment (that's very good) many people will visit your user page and it would be fun to you have a poll there. (I was disapointted because there wasn't.) Like this: 20:53, 27 March 2007 (UTC) Do you have a poll in your user page? Come to vote! Nah.

Yeah my signature seems to create a lot of space between the name and the date sometimes. Other times it goes off the page. The box made of dashes that sometimes surrounds the date is when I accidentally put a space between and the  (it's meant to just be ). I was very active during my two week break, which ended last weekend, although I am usually quite active anyway. Unfortunately, about the same time that my break ended, my wireless internet also broke, which kept me off for a few days. Now I'm back, and I'll make a poll on my used page =). Still can't figure out why the signature makes all that space though...anyone have any ideas? 20:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I have the same problem with my sig giving extra spaces. I think it's related to the use of relative positioning (to get the bottom line), but the browsers still allowing space for it. If I manage to work out a fix for it, I'll let you know. I also noticed that your contribs link in your sig is wrong, it goes to Special:Contributions:Gangsterls when it should go to Special:Contributions/Gangsterls. 16:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi again Gangsterls, I think I've solved it. It's a bit long winded, but hopefully you will be able to follow. Also check out details explanation of the quirks of positioning at http://www.quirksmode.org/css/position.html.


 * The problem is that the "position: relative" moves the contained element from where it would normally be, but does not alter the position of following elements.


 * The "position:absolute" will position element and take it out of the normal flow so following elements will be positioned as if the element wasn't there (i.e. the gap is closed up). The "position:absolute" is positioned relative to the nearest ancestor that is not "position:static" (the default positioning).


 * My solution so far is to include the whole of the two line block in a "position: relative", and then position the second line using "position: absolute; left:3px; top:3px" (the minor left and top adjustments for better positioning). Hope that helps. 17:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! I'm off to edit my signature now. I'll check out the coding on yours if I find any problems. Good job catching that contribs link! Thanks again. 01:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. I fixed some minor problems, but sometimes if the sig is near the right edge of the page then the links on the bottom line will go out of the article frame on the next line. No idea how to fix that =/. Now the date shows up right next to the party hat. How would I move that out a bit? 01:23, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * =/ This is harder than I thought! 01:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * And for some reason, I see the "talk | editcount | contribs" part of your signature on the title line of RuneScape:Votes_for_deletion. I'm assuming that it might be a problem with the one of the position:absolute scripts in your signature (like suggested above), and it is being displayed through the transcluded article for deletion pages.  I've got no idea how to fix it, I briefly poked at it but couldn't find anything.  Just thought I'd point it out anyway.  22:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Appears on this page as well, I just noticed.  22:49, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it shows up on every page i sign on =/. Maybe if I take the absolute positioning out it'll go away. Hyenaste fixed the date problem, so now the only problem is that bottom line showing up all over the place. 23:08, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmph. Amaurice, it seems like the 'position absolute' attribute doesn't work with MediaWiki, because the 'talk house' line of your signature shows up in the title page of every line you sign on, except it's on the right so it's usually covered partially by the title, but if you mouseover, they're your links. 23:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
