Similar items
We need a policy on how to arrange items on a page that are nearly identical, for example, trimmed rune armour and rune armour. One has a slight graphical adjustment, but does it warrant its own article or section in an article? Or should we include it in the header? We should be as granular as possible, but should we get ridiculously stubby pages for the sake of detail? Hyenaste talk 21:50, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Even if it is just a trimmed version of the same piece of armour, that trimmed version needs its own item infobox because it is a whole different item and looks different and most likely has a different price. The easiest way, in my opinion, would be to have an article for, say, the rune full helm and then below have infoboxes and short blurbs for each other variation of the rune full helm. The problem is that not many people like the way this looks, because I have tried it before and it's usually undone within minutes. -- Couchpotato99 22:06, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Will Wikis Work? at Wikia
I just read Will Wikis Work? and encourage others to do the same. It's an informative set of four pages that could offer some ideas on how to help our Wiki to grow and develop. Hyenaste talk 13:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, this could be very helpful. Oddlyoko 17:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Tagline
It's been almost 10 months since the last discussion yet we still don't have a tagline. As a reminder, the tagline is what appears at the top of every page, such as From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Hyenaste talk 17:47, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

space?
Is this place RuneScapeWiki or RuneScape Wiki? Hyenaste talk 21:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * RuneScape Wiki. ;-)

User-created information

 * Originally posted on the Main page discussion.

You know one way to give this Wiki more character and flavour of it's own would be to let the adventurers tell their tales or histories which they may have collected about the RuneScape realms. A link should be on the main page for "Adventurers Histories" - it would make for entertaining reading. --RuneScape 22:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Better idea: we can get a new namespace for the wiki (three max, I read), and use it for such user stories. We'd have to hammer out some guidelines for it, but it's a good idea, right? =) Oddlyoko 22:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * We can get new namespaces? Guide: plz But yes, these would be permissible as long as they are separate from the encyclopedia part of the Wiki. We wouldn't want anyone quoting as truth user-submitted stories. [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 23:11, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Heh, so we have options for "Guide:" and "Player:" (tentative name). Like the name? Oddlyoko 23:24, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Definitely guide, but I think we should be cautious about using up our limit of 3 new namespaces&mdash;we don't even use the forums namespace yet. [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 23:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, but the Forums namespace comes with the wiki, and doesn't count against our limit of three custom-spaces. Oddlyoko 23:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * But I think we should start using it for something before making our own custom one. I have no idea what we would use it for though. [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 23:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * A more organised way of asking questions and getting answers, and a way to "reserve" the Main Page talk for more "important" things. I can set it up, it costs us nothing to try. Oddlyoko 23:57, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Please do. [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 23:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I've requested a forums set up from the Central Wikia. Oddlyoko 00:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Huh? I thought we already had a forums namespace. [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 00:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * We do, it just requires a little HTML coding. Oddlyoko 00:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Surely we could just copy and paste it from elsewhere? [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 00:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry, should make myself clear. >_> You have to add code on several pages, like templates and stuff, and I'm scared to mess something up, seeing as I'm hopeless at the MediaWiki: namespace and terrible at templating. I might put something in the wrong place. >_> Oddlyoko 00:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Now it's clear. :P [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 00:20, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't get it. What's going on? If you mean add Guide: to each guides, I'm strongly against that. It looks ugly like that. Why not just ADD guide to the end whatever it is? --24.109.206.88 00:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

RuneScape Reference Desk

 * Ask a RuneScape related question&mdash;we need to put the answers in!

Bob the Cat
If Bob isn't seen in f2p, then why do they get the Evil Bob random? They don't get the reference. Hyenaste talk 21:50, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * F2P DO get Bob, I've gotten the jail one, but yet to have seen ScapeRune.--Richard 16:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
