From Ruud's talk: "It appears two new articles have been written. One by Gaz C.Chaim and the other buy... somebody else. I will remind the users that they should be altering you when they write a new article."

Remember to do this whenever you submit a new article. Review RuneScape:Wiki Post/Style guide/Submitting your own content, please. 16:54, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Where it is making the list it says "content" - this is a high level category. Change this to "Bestiary" and you will get more what you want. Rich Farmbrough, 13:42 8 March 2010 (GMT).

RE: Dummy Article
The Dummy Article is not inconsistent with other submissions, the other submissions are inconsistent with the Dummy Article. It's cleaner for one to simply link to their page as opposed to adding a signature that is more complex. I also don't see why people add a new section for the content of their article, as it is redundant due to the title of the page saying the exact same thing. 19:53, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

We had no official standard for what the article should look like, so it's based on aspects of other submissions that I then put together. Tien started doing the polls in each article, if I remember correctly. I decided that we don't need a new section for the content of the page because the page title says it anyway. Azliq created a nice navbox we all want to use. Scizor always used a horizontal line and then put the name of the author at the bottom. I really don't see whats wrong with it. 10:31, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

It's not the end of the world if articles are not fully consistent with the dummy, but we should at least attempt to get articles to look like it. If your absolutely sure you want your submission to be formatted slightly differently than the rest, I wont argue. The only thing they all need to have is the Navbox, some sort of nametag of the author, and a poll to show how many people have read the article (a positive/neutral/negative system is recommended, though I can't see a problem with the author choosing to simply add a poll with one option to get the same general effect as the view-count polls on userpages). 19:36, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Talk page
What a sad day it must be if I can no longer control what is on MY talk page.

Drawing attn to changes on Seeds page
Let me first apologize for sort of spamming. I'm copying Powers38, Iiii I I I, Evil yanks, Rwojy, and Calebchiam, since you are the admins who have interacted with Degenret01 over the past month on his talk page. I figure you are the ones, therefore, most familiar with his contributions, although I realize that criterion may be a bit too arbitrary. Mostly I'd like to have a discussion on the Seeds talk page about the deletion of the growing cycle information he's done, but I'm a little uncertain how to encourage it. I also most certainly want to avoid an editing war where we just undo each other's edits if I put the info back. I've started sections on the Seeds talk page and his talk page. Feel free to respond on my talk page, as well, of course. --Saftzie 06:41, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Charms
The table on the Charms page is now auto-updating, and adding new monsters is trivial. Rich Farmbrough, 10:24 12 March 2010 (GMT).
 * Ah, yes I did let SB finish the task, I am always a bit wary of botting stuff, especially because of the grief bot operators sometimes get on that other site...  Rich Farmbrough, 10:54 12  March 2010 (GMT).

Typozzzzz
First, make sure you are on default settings. Under file select "Reset to default settings". Then, go to the Options menu > Preferences. Under site, make sure it is project wikia, and type runescape in the box. Next, on the options tab in the lower pane, deselect everything in automatic changes and check the box marked "Enable RegexTypoFix". Then go to the skip tab, and check 'no changes are made'. Then under make list, Category (recursive), and type Content as the category. Then click on "Filter", and select Content. This part may take some time, but it will complete. Next login on awb, it should come up automatically. Then in the "File" menu choose "Save settings as" and choose a good name/place for it. Then click start and just watch the typos. If you close, you can just reopen the file you saved and you won't have to go through it all again. Soo done. 06:59, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Misc and Etc
Well, dont think its vandalism but I am currently trying to split up Misc and Etc. Can you help out correct what I put wrong inside and help me clean up the articals?

It has been like that for 2 years...

You should take a look at your center --> centre changes. The code syntax for wiki doesn't use centre. Maybe you were using a bot, iono. Lil cloud 9 10:57, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry for all the work I give you by uploading those images of monsters pre-graphics update for the Graphical improvements page without adding the historical template, but I'm just a bit lazy. -_- I'll try to remember adding some in the future (=today). ;)   Fswe1    10:58, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

 * Oh, this page seems broken, you might want to fix it! 14:11, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weird, on IE the words are on top of the userboxes, but everything seems fine on Firefox. Lag, maybe?  14:51, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f389/c00ldud4/Buggypage.png I took a screenshot of the bug. In Runescape, 99 Skills, Screenshots and In Runescape Wiki all have this bug, when the text is pushed to the centre. I know IE is wonky, I don't use it often though.

RE: CVU
WOW HARSH MUCH? the page originally said that they were issuing "mutes" instead of "bans" then some random ip came and changed it i didnt add the info about the terminology of mutes and bans someone else did but im taking the highground in beliving the registerd user and not some random ip. the user in question decided i was wrong to revert this ips edit and reverted mine i responded by putting in a quote from the page about mutes and bans terminology and yet they continued to revert my edits so i went to the CVU and reported and it has been sorted out on the articles talk page. im trying to be constructive with my edits here but get wacked around the head by a sysop everytime i fell im doing something usefull. -- 05:35, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

"Regarding your CVU report for Risk Wizard, both of you may receive a block if you continue the edit war" "What? I think you're misunderstanding my intentions. I don't want to block you." Really? Those statements are rather conflicting one says i risk getting a block and the other says im not going to be blocked. =S Not me who started it I simply took a registerd users word rather than an ips then someone came along and reverted my edit. feel free to go look on the forum moderator page history. -- 05:50, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Images
I have so far added AA tags to images that either have no transparency with AA or poorly done transparency. Having them retaken without would improve the quality of them greatly. I would assume File:Dragon hally.png was taken without AA turned on in game, then applied later. Riblet15 13:16, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I do believe File:Radat.png could be improved if recaptured without AA; in order to add transparency to it they had to cut away at the edges of the person, making the outlines all lumpy, and in some cases oddly colored. As Xopp said on the template's talk page, I agree that AA images are better, but I do not feel the template itself describes the correct issues with an image that is taken with AA. And really, I have no idea how to do something like File:Dragon hally.png without applying AA after adding transparency. Riblet15 13:34, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Edit report
Thanks for the bug report. The maximum has been raised significantly, so this error should no longer occur. -- 14:45, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Edit reports
Hey, do you know where the page is to edit to remove edit reports from RFAs? I can only find the base template, and that has these inclusion things that totally lose me. Was there ever a discussion on adding it in? I'm just kinda disgusted that people get too focused and narrow minded on numbers and templates and are not actually reviewing the contribs themselves, so they hurt the community. If you just give me the link if you know where it is, I will remove it until the community can discuss it. Unless they already did and I missed it. Thanks man.--Degenret01 07:49, March 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Re:Previous Featured template - I was thinking along the lines that it is kind if like a cleanup tag, but even more so. Like "This is a special cleanup because it was once featured so it is even more deserving of cleanup". That is why on a few of the articles I actually substituted it in where they already had a cleanup tag. If it looks too big or bulky, sure, we can move it. I was also going to make a template for the articles proposed but didn't meet consensus to lose their tags, and that one I was planing on placing on the talk page.--Degenret01 21:48, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to compliment you on your RSWP article about the new login screen:Ad in disguise. It was very well-wrtitten and informative 22:50, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I had actually never thought of it in that way, and I thought it was quite an interesting read indeed.
 * You were my subordinate in my story, heh. My five-part plan for conquering the world is now two-fifths complete! Now I have to make the contents of that story become reality. *shoots Telos and hides the corpse* Ohmigosh, the vandals are attacking us!

Policies not on policies page
How do I find one that we forgot to add to the list? Specifically, our signature policy. I suddenly am curious when exactly it has to be in a template and when it doesn't. Oh, and you ddn't give further opinion to what I said above regarding my why I used the Former featured blah blah blah template the way I did. Or did you get all logical and put in the templates talk page where Murph would never look? --Degenret01 08:37, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Caleb, it's me Angels. You know from the old wiki? Well Bonzibob blocked me for reasons I don't understand a few months ago, and I'd kind of like my freedom back here. There's no block reason given or any clues to when the block ends. Can you get me unblocked please?

Actually, there are a couple of things I'd like to ask, if you don't mind. First of all, I've restarted a cleaner and hopefully funnier version of the Unrunescape Wiki. Is it alright if I use some of the RuneScape Wiki templates (e.g. quest and skill) to help get the infrastructure set, as I am hopeless at wiki coding? And secondly, can I apply to have it made as a sister site, as the current version is clean but very small User_talk:Angel's_fire21:03, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering if you'd be able to help add transparency to some non-RS animations I have lying around my desktop. He has knocked four times. 13:03, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Opinion
I need your opinion. Is this a good idea for a poll on the front page?? Will people understand it who don't edit the wiki?? What other options should be added if it is a good idea?? Which aspect of the wiki should the community concentrate on?? Making popular articles more comprehensive Expanding stub articles Prettifying articles Improving image quality (eg. SD -> HD) Creating more JS calculators Creating redirects Something else 10:21, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that an image option is needed, but apart from that I basically copied what you said word for word. If you think of a better option, edit Template:Poll quickly and nobody will realise that it was changed. 11:46, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I hope we're allowed to vote, since I just did.  11:50, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * No it isn't, I have made probably thousands of edits changing articles to British spelling, but the AWB has made me obsolete! And a revised poll is now on the front page Liquid. 11:52, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * It is a very simple poll, so it is one person one vote. 11:55, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Letter from Uberfuzzy
In light of some recent events here I thought it would be of benefit to share out this letter that Uberfuzzy wrote to Azaz129 with all our active sysops, and he has agreed to let me do so. This is not meant as a slap at any one for recent actions, just as some food for thought about us and where we want to be as a wiki. As you and your wiki has shown in the past, a large stable community can exist and be fairly self sufficient at Wikia, with little need from staff/helper intervention. This is a dream of ours, to have more wikis run themselves, allowing us to focus our finite amount of time and resources on the sites that actually need it. Sadly, your wiki is an exception in many ways, not the norm.

As with the checkuser, we've shown that we're willing to try things out, to break away from the mentality of "how things were done in the past" to see how they fair in the ever evolving world of wikis, and to get some real world data on how a stable wiki will react if allowed more rights. You've been great test of our theoretical worries about granting checkuser where needed.

Done. You bureaucrats can now add and remove bot rights.

One thing We've always admired about your wiki is even though you have a way above average number of sysops, you have managed to keep the bureaucrat list small, showing that you understand what that roll is meant for, and not just another checkbox. We hope to continue to see good things come out of runescape, and can continue to use it as a shining example of our dream.-Uberfuzzy --Degenret01 08:56, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
