User talk:Hyenaste

H. Welcome to the RuneScape Wiki, keep up the good work and stuff :) I'd give you the normal "any questions you can ask me"...but i'm pretty useless. Richard1990 helped me out a bit, so i'd recommend asking on his Talk Page if you need a hand with anything. Vimescarrot 16:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Adminship?
You seem to be doing a lot of work, especially images for the wiki, I'm recommeding you for adminship --Eucarya 23:09, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Removing weapon/item categories?
What's with you mass removing items and weapons from their categories? Did I miss a talk page discussion someplace? Shadowdancer 06:27, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Give us a hand?
I'm trying to do the lunar trouble quest, draft is Lunar Trouble Draft. Help if you can!

Re: Welcome back
I was, because I've been programming, vacationing, and a little bit bored of runescape. And to tell you the truth, I nearly forgot about this wiki. O_O I hope I'll be back for a while though. >_> Oddlyoko 18:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Never! :D Wiki'ing is one of my favorite ways of passing time (and helping in a community). Sometimes my mind forgets a good amount of things, though. :P Oddlyoko 18:28, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

To-do list
What do you think about setting up a page, under a user page subpage possible, to contain a list of things that many people believe should be done? For example, I myself would like to see some page design and categorization policies, and then there are stubs that could either be merged or expanded, and large articles that could be split apart or trimmed down (trimming off unnessecary stuffs). Oddlyoko 18:36, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I already thought the Talk:Main Page was for that?
 * Talk:Main Page is becoming the repository for any comments/questions that encompass the entire Wiki. The to-do list would have one direction–to make articles the best that they can be! (shimmer, shimmer) [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 18:59, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I sort of made an attempt at this, by creating Runewikis_most_wanted_pages and linking it off the front page. Possibly replace this with more of a community set of pages, which has most wanted pages, style guides (e.g. in pages where both free and members items are covered, members items go in italics), and possible meet-ups in game planned? --Eucarya 07:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Zezima
That really stinks. Thanks for the edit, and letting me know. Oddlyoko 20:18, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Obsolete Template merge??
I only just added it though!! We need something on a page to suggest that rather than deletion, it needs to be merged with another page? --Eucarya 21:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC) Ah ok, looks like we've got better content (though there's isn't bad), and they've got better images. Let's merge em together at some point --Eucarya 21:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: monobook.js
The recent changes script doesn't transfer well from Wikipedia. It actually isn't necessary, though, since Special:Recentchanges is quite manageable on this wiki. John254 03:20, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Sysop'd!

 * As of 17:35, 27 July 2006 (UTC), you are now a sysop! Oddlyoko

NPCs
Why are you changing all the NPCs from NPCs to Non-player characters? -- Couchpotato99 17:54, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Images
We already have those images...? Uh-oh. Oddlyoko 18:04, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * OK... so which should I delete? >_> Oddlyoko 18:06, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You know, now that I think about it, Cooking is basically Food with much more information... Oddlyoko 18:08, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I don't mind switching them out. I'll just finish uploading mine. Should I cut out all the information relevant to Cooking and replace it with a shorter summary of the kinds of food? Oddlyoko 18:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

GP
Do you mind if I borrow your "Loves GP" template? -- Couchpotato99 20:50, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Right, so you prefer to have inaccurate content then. Gotcha.Shadowdancer 20:53, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone should edit the item infobox because it refers to coins as GP. -- Couchpotato99 21:07, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Runescapewiki: vs Runescape:
I believe the RuneScapeWiki namespace is the correct one, so you're just making matters worse - no offense - by "bypassing redir"s. >_> Oddlyoko 05:16, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh. *blinks* I didn't even think to try that. Sorry. >_< Oddlyoko 17:38, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Admin reading
I'm dropping this link and message on every sysop's talk page, just to make sure everyone's read it. If you haven't, please do, and if you have, it wouldn't be a bad idea to read over it again. Oddlyoko 20:29, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hmm...
It's the same thing as what you did, but I guess i just prefer having the SITENAME thing there. If this wiki's name ever got changed or something, that thing would save us some editing, because it varies according to what the name of the wiki is. Oddlyoko 22:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I think so, if you contact a developer or other user with a status higher than b'crat. What's the harm in leaving it anyways? Oddlyoko 22:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

User:Cats go poop
I'm getting tired of this guy. Next time he does this again, can we ban him for at least a month? >_> Oddlyoko 02:16, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Eh? Oddlyoko 02:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries
I love your edit summaries, they make the Recent Changes a bit more fun to watch. :D Oddlyoko 18:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * *laughs* Oddlyoko 18:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Vfd Archive
I was looking at the Vfd archives and thought that the yellow background used to signify an archived discussion should be a template. Seeing as how I have not much experience with templates in wiki, I wanted to ask you before I created the template as you created the Vfd archives. This is the template I made based off of what you did:


 * This is an archived deletion proposal. Please do not modify it. Comments should be directed toward the article's talk page. The result of this discussion was .


 * ''The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. No further edits should be made to this page.

You can't really see it in the discussion page but if you view the source it looks fine. Would this work? Also, would it be helpful? Please tell me what you think. -- Couchpotato99 00:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I've made another template and have been having some trouble with it. You seem to be good at them, so if you could look at the talk page of this template I would appreciate it. Thanks! -- Couchpotato99 22:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the help! Now to go put it on all of the melee weapon pages... -- Couchpotato99 23:46, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Metal item template
Don't make it add the item category, then the articles show up under the item category and a subcategory of the item category. They are all already in weapons or armour, so adding them to items too is redundant. -- Couchpotato99 00:10, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Did I get it to do what you wanted? -- Couchpotato99 00:21, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I have some new questions :P. If there is any template for those things that you knew about and could share with me, I would be overjoyed. Thank you in advance. -- Couchpotato99 02:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) How could it be done so that if is defined, it doesn't show up in the list? So basically I want to know how to do "If  is not defined, (insert text here)"
 * 2) How could it be done so that if equals "" (so like if I were to do  ) then it says Metal on the top? This is to replace the {{{Metal}} template. So basically I want to know how to do "If  is defined as "(insert text1)", (insert text2)"
 * Yay! I did it myself. Thanks to good ol' parser functions. -- Couchpotato99 03:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Current events
You replaved Current events with Game updates on the sidebar. Before current events had all of the updates, but now that it links to game updates it excludes the 5 other types of updates: Behind the Scenes, Customer Support, Shop, Technical, and Website. Having Current Events was better because you could see all 6 types of updates, not just one. -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  17:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

RE: Cats
Lets take for example Adamant battleaxe. It was in the adamant category, but when you have a bunch of adamant items they will all end up under A once they have been alphabetised (because they all start with A). However, if you say it treats the adamant battleaxe article as if its name was "battleaxe", and it gets alpabetised under B and it makes things easier to find, as they aren't all under A now. -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  21:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Yeah, it worked after you did "18:38 . . Hyenaste (Talk | contribs) (unblocked User:#24: Couchpotato unblocked.) " Thanks. -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  23:42, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Couchpotato's edits were indeed vandalism and personal attacks against me.Shadowdancer 23:45, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * But I guess it must be convenient to preach to me about reviewing the logs and then not bothering to do so yourself, eh Hyenaste? Shadowdancer 01:16, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The liberty of an editor was in jeopardy in some two-sided conflict and I checked the logs quickly and decided to unblock him. I told you that if I had made a mistake I was willing to block him again. [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 01:18, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Guess what? You made a mistake.  Shadowdancer 01:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe I have. On your page, you will see that Couchpotato's edit could be a conflict, and he did not have enough time to rectify it. When I asked you for a better reason you simply said that you refuse to defend the blocking further. Well, Shadowdancer, if you can't provide a valid reason, what am I to believe except that you blocked him out of spite? [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 01:28, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
