Common.css
Hi, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I've started converting our CSS to LESS which we can compile as necessary (when we want to update it). I realise I never put this through the YG, but given how there's half a dozen users who go near the page I figured it might be a bit pointless. My reasoning for the change are as follows: Let me know of you have any feedback on what I've done so far, even if you hate it :)
 * Allows us to split a 30k byte page into multiple subpages without resorting to @import statements.
 * It gives us access to the LESS standard library, an example of what's available can be found here. The full documentation can be found here.
 * I've added some standard mixins, which give us cross browser support with a fraction of the space. They're documented here if you'd like more information.
 * If it's set up well enough it means we can do theme changes with minimal fuss. Simply update Special:ThemeDesigner, recompile the LESS files and it's all done. No more will we have to find matching colours to match a temporary/new theme.
 * The calc thing is a known bug it turns out, a workaround is . The indentation is a bug in my code, I'll look into fixing it soon-ish.

Global Nav changes
Hi Ryan. I've removed the changes that you made to the Global Navigation. We are not currently allowing any changes to be made to the Global Navigation, per our customization policy. If you have feedback about changes you would like to see then you are of course welcome to share that on the Community Central blog or via Special:Contact. If you have any questions about this, feel free to let me know. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:59, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I posted feedback to both places and got generic responses in return. I don't have faith that Wikia will allow us to allow us to improve the bar for our readers. 18:04, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Gaz. We've said on the blog that we'll be revisiting the design, behavior, and customization options in January. Your feedback is heard and will be considered. There's just not going to be immediate movement on it. I hope that clears things up. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:05, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll believe it when I see it. In the meantime we'll have the entire Christmas period - where people have time off to play RuneScape and thus use the wiki - with the subpar user experience. Cheers. 20:44, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * FWIW, I sent Wikia a screenshot of how goofy their nav with their css looks to me at 1920 in Firefox. I'm so glad I use Monobook (most of the time). -- 02:31, December 11, 2014 (UTC)

All the information is stored insecurely in jsons in the page source. When you have an offer, you can find plenty of offers in the page source if you right click and choose "view frame source". Here's the code for this particular offer: http://pastebin.com/x3zd09t7. Anything that says "screen out" is bad, and instantly ends your applicability for the offer. 02:11, December 12, 2014 (UTC)

 * As for that offer. I got met with some ultimate bullshit, there was no question, and my options were yes or no. I said yes and screened out. 02:19, December 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * It didn't seem to care that I spammed the back button to take it again. But when I clicked no that time, it just closed the window ._. 02:23, December 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * I can get code for other answers like http://pastebin.com/iJ3T62ge, but nothing about the validity of them sadly (yet) 02:25, December 12, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Navbox color
Sorry about that; it looked okay to me at the time, but maybe my screen colors are calibrated differently. Is [ this] better? [ Example] -- 07:49, December 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think I was also confused as to why you only changed the link color for, separating it from   when they both had the light blue background and a darker blue color. Hopefully it's better now. -- 07:52, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!


Merry Holidays, Ryan PM! --

a way to take lootbeam pics
If you still want to retake the christmas lootbeam, you can get a lootbeam to appear if you obtain a key token with a full inventory with the auto-redeem setting off. It'll drop to the floor and a lootbeam will appear. --Jlun2 (talk) 06:29, December 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * After 5 January, all keys in DG (even if it appears in starting room) have a lootbeam. So if you need to retake a loot beam, you can use frozen floors. --Jlun2 (talk) 05:16, January 6, 2015 (UTC)

Have you responded to the fansite email about updating contact details? 02:40, February 6, 2015 (UTC)

Darude
Can we get a gif of sandstorm walk? That'll probably be in demand, at least I think so. At least... I'm demanding it. DON'T MAKE ME START A FORUM ABOUT YOU. 13:01, February 23, 2015 (UTC)

Diango/Reclaimables
In regards to this, the highlighting was added because of these discussions. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 09:23, March 9, 2015 (UTC)

Lucky item images
Assuming someone has the time to go through the ids or find the correct item id, would images taken by using the jagex website be allowed? E.g. http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_rs/4758_obj_sprite.gif?id=33565. That said, I don't have the time for that regardless. Maybe Cook has some way of narrowing down on the right id.

Lucky chaotics
Can you add the sprites of the lucky chaotics to the relevant pages? 08:06, March 14, 2015 (UTC)

Vic's Store
Would it be an acceptable solution to include the experience table on the page, but make it collapsible, and collapsed by default? The article won't be stretched by nearly as much, but the information would still be in the actual article. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 11:24, April 3, 2015 (UTC)

Prawnbroker
Completing the 14 Prawn Perks is a completionist requirement and completing the Prawn Perks and the additional four is a trim completionist requirement. Could you reword that somehow, "the additional four" is really vague. 10:05, April 7, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Jagex Meeting
I haven't heard anything about the meeting happening yet, so I'm hoping I'm not too late. Either way, sorry for taking so long to reply. There's a few technical things I'd like to get jagex to implement:


 * Add CORS headers to their API (e.g. user hiscores which require a server side request to access currently).
 * An API to access other user information such as quest and/or task completion status. the former requires parsing HTML, the latter doesn't exist. This is mainly useful for calculators such as
 * A (searchable?) GED API that lets me search for new items to build
 * APIs available in JSON (CSV feels really strange to work with, I get the feeling it's not a common API format either).
 * Publicise the formula for calculating experience, see.

In general, anything that means I don't have to parse HTML/other weird formats to get data and makes life easier when making calculators or making new articles for new items. I hear jagex have masses of data on all sorts of events, but so little of it is designed to be accessible.

If there's anything else I'm usually in IRC or Skype and if all else fails you can email (see my userpage) or send me a memoserv message :)


 * Did they explain why they were unwilling to provide more public APIs?


 * On the off chance I can't make it and you get the opportunity to bring up the APIs, perhaps they could look at something like mediawiki's maxlag parameter or providing possible throttle intervals. There's not a lot of use cases for the current data available via the runescape APIs, so I can't imagine asking users to throttle requests would cause much distress.

You mentioned alch values from CC, but I didn't record them down. Can you please add them? --Jlun2 (talk) 23:27, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

I'll give you max width in your parameter.

Syntax hilighting
This is sort-of a problem in most Dialogue pages that refer to the player; the syntax hilighter seems to think anything between &lt; and &gt; is a html tag, and thus awaits a closing tag... One solution is indeed to use "[Player]" instead (my preference), or wrapping them in "&lt;nowiki&gt;" tags... Unless wikia can fix the hilighter? IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 05:06, May 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Eww, no, no spaces immediately following &lt; or preceding &gt;... But if we really want a standard, we'll probably need a YG thread; in general what should be used to indicate 'variables' in a sentence ('player' name in dialogue, a skill name or number in an ingame message, for example at Veteran cape (10 year), ...): &lt;html brackets&gt;, [straight brackets], italics, ...
