Skeletons
Hi. 02:53, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Celestial catalytic staff conflict
User:Fizzyliquid has been editing the celestial catalytic staff article in what I consider to be an improper fashion. While you can check the talk page for some history on our argument, it boils down to this: He thinks that strong magic potions boost Magic damage by 3% per level instead of 1%, and that therefore the maximum hit of Fire Surge with a CCS and strong magic potion is 546. I am a mage in Daemonheim with a CCS, and I've never hit anything close to this, so I asked him several times to produce proof (while reverting his edits to the article in the meantime). After repeatedly stating that he had personally witnessed hits up to 440 (the calculated max hit is 434), he posted a screenshot of himself hitting 438 with Fire Surge. Despite that this is a very small amount higher than the standing maximum hit, he insists that magic potions boost by 3% per level. We've gone back and forth on the article a few times, and now he's removed the max hit paragraph altogether.

Rather than fuel an edit war, I'd like some conflict resolution, and this is the only place I can think of at which to post it. What does someone else think that we should do about the max hit information in the article? -- 05:09, April 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * See the Potions, Spells and Runes update on 17 November 2009. Going by that I'd have to aggree with Fizzyliquid. 09:45, April 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * There's nothing stopping Jagex messing around with the game's physics in Daemonheim. They already do it in several other places. Also, while I haven't tested this a lot, I haven't seen fire surge hit nearly as high as I expect for 3% per level while on strong magic potions. I'll see if I can get some test data.
 * As a final note, the max hit formula is by no means 100% and is known to be off by up to 10 life points in either direction. 14:41, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Gallery
Is it possible to make a gallery of personal images? 02:38, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * You can use extimage, and then put those in a regular gallery. 03:41, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

"No" option for CiteNPC
The template CiteNPC should have a "no" option for the parameter "loc", but it doesn't. When I put "no" there, it just showed up as "no" and the field wasn't deleted. For example, look at Immenizz's reference at Aetheric thread. Can anyone help? 17:10, April 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sounded familiar, I did something like this for Infobox non-player character earlier. However the problem here lies in the documentation not the template. You can just omit the loc parameter with this one. I will change the documentation to match this. 00:04, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was me too Thank you! I'm not too good with code, so I would never have realized. Thanks again!  00:39, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I just removed the parameter and it was re-added to Category:Incomplete references, it seems that you can't just remove the parameter. 00:41, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that that category has more to do with the reference created by the template than with the template itself. 04:14, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? I thought that the template adds whatever page it's transcluded on to the category if a parameter is missing. 04:42, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * You're right, it does. When I was looking at the category it seemed it was something to do with references in general, but I just noticed that the template's code specifically checks for missing parameters and then adds the category. Since the documentation already mentioned loc was only to be included when applicable, I assume it was always meant to be optional so I will exclude it from this last check, and include quote instead, since that is mandatory. 05:23, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Learning wiki code
Where can I find a detailed (not beginners) guide or database with all the syntax for all the codes that wiki recognizes. In particular, I am looking for the codes that customize the colors, borders, sizes, alignment, etc of text, tables, images, etc. 02:10, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Try MediaWiki's help section. -- 02:11, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Perfect! Looks very well organized and detailed enough for me. Now I have to get reading! Thanks -- 02:36, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * In addition, a lot of things can be done using HTML span tags with the style attribute filled with CSS properties. Just in case something isn't covered by wiki-code. Wiki-code is preferable though since it usually costs less space. 04:36, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
