Legality of audio files
We are going to hold off on including the actual music for now right? Per what Robert laid out in the YG discussion?--Degenret01 05:08, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * I am unsure, this is what we're here to discuss ^_^ I think no new audio files should be uploaded until we have this sorted completely. I would like it if we have the full length midis, but am unsure if we can. Cheers,  05:14, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ohh hell yes! If we could have a whole database of articles full of information including the actual song using QuickTime.. that would be awesome. I can't wait to see how this project will grow. My only question: How can I help ? 20:30, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to know a couple of things: Thanks, 20:34, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Why are we discussing it here instead of the "Discussion" section on the project page?
 * 2) Should we start creating music pages similar to Norse Code? I'd be happy to begin as soon as the word is given,
 * 3) I'm curious as to where I can find these MIDI files... please see here.

I'm pretty sure we can use at least a bit of the music as it is used in other articles. 21:49, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Hmm...?
Are we going to create an article for each individual song, or can we lump the same ones under one title? I.E., Attack1, Attack2... Fanfare1, Fanfare2.. -- 23:01, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Dunno. We also have to consider the "Scape" songs, which aren't numbered like the Attack and Fanfare songs. 00:16, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also to be noted is the names of some songs. I don't think people are going to search for 'Scape' to find the group of songs, more likely more direct, I.E. "Scape Soft." -- 01:46, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

I would think that we could put disambiguation pages for things like that. (i.e. search Scape, comes up with Scape Soft, Scape Wild, ect)  16:01, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. A page for every song, along with disambig pages for song series', like 'scape --'/'--scape', 'attackx', 'fanfarex' etc etc etc. 16:19, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

When are we going to start?
I feel this WikiGuild has a lot of members now, so any ideas when we can start? I feel rather exited about this project. 16:46, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

NEW IDEA!: How about we not only make pages for the music tracks and record tunes, but also try to record every sound in the game? (i.e. shades' attacking noise, going through Stronghold of Security doors, ringing a slayer bell, ect) Sure it will take some work, but that would realy bring the wiki to life! We could put NPC attacking noises on relevent pages, and sounds with the item/teleport/movment/anything's pages. 17:03, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

I like the idea. I don't know much about putting audio on wikis or anything like that, but I've always felt like the music clips and bits of speeches on Wikipedia really help add another dimension to the articles. I'm not sure how much of a toll it would put on a computer, or if that's even an issue, though. That aside, I also think we ought to start some of these song articles pretty soon. As soon as someone gives the word, I'll start helping out. 22:00, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

That's what I mean. It's like 3D shapes: you have your main article, with the facts (Your 1st dimension), then you have your images (Your 2nd dimesion), but most of this wiki lacks the 3rd dimension of SOUNDS. Like I put when I signed up, I don't know anything about putting in sonds, but if someone could put this idea into practice hat would be great! 22:23, December 17, 2009 (UTC) That would be a simply massive but very rewarding project. I don't really know how to do audio or video for the wiki, so I couldn't help much, but it would give new life to our wiki. But first things first, get the music tracks (and, for those and other tracks, minimise other sounds. For example, do NOT ring a slayer bell whilst recording a track. But it is a good idea, I Support.-- 23:44, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

I like that idea, hard, but could be used to recognize stuff in the game (i.e. people could know what hit them if they listened to random sounds in the game?) How about we only start with the important on the wiki (such as different weapons do different sounds, could be useful in combat?) What do you think? 00:40, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Kinda horny atm...
Anyone else think that the girl in the pic is kinda hot? -- 23:59, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Uh... is this appropriate? -- 00:08, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that comment was appropriate or at all helpful, Fruit Smoothie. We are discussing articles about music pages, NOT your opinion on whether a bunch of pixels that is used to illustrate the project page is attractive. You seem to make a lot of irrelevant and irritating comments on the Yew Grove and talk pages. Please stop this now. 00:11, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
