User talk:Gangsterls

This is my talk page! I joined on 2/12/2007. My RuneScape username is Gangsterls, so if you need to contact me you can add me to your friends list and send a private message to me if I'm on. I usually spend quite a bit of time in the afternoons after school and on the weekends on RuneScape. Also, I live in the eastern United States so I'm on GMT time.

Welcome
Welcome to the wiki. Nice to have more hands to work on this initiative. Great to see your userpage shaping up. Wiki's arent that hard after all. And i agree that the money making guide is highly ineffective. Have a look at my attempt in developing the financial pages section. --Miw 15:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks =), as you can see I've gotten the signature and some templates figured out. I'll make a section in my talk about the financial guides too. ~Gangsterls

Money Making Guides
It has come to my attention that our money making guide is in dire need of repair. An example of a suggested method for making money under the combat section was: 'A common method is killing blue dragons. Then selling their bones and hide for upwards of 5,000 gp.' Needless to say, this is an absolutely ridiculous entry with no detail that wouldn't help anyone who didn't already know about it. This is the exact kind of lack of accuracy, precision, and detail that is necessary to actually help anyone. I urge other users to work together to improve the financial guides. For some more information see Miw's work in the financial pages section of his talk and the responses there. It would also be great if someone could help create a userbox template for those who are working on this project. =) Responses appreciated and encouraged! --Gangsterls 21:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it has the Under Construction. Ill use the google spell checker to fix and spelling mistakes, and go over grammar myself. I will also change things like GP into Gold pieces. OH, and count me in, I have worked on it before.21:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, great! Also, I redid the thieving part, the stuff it used to have basically said ways to get your thieving to 50, and then ways to make money after that (it only mentioned pickpocketing paladins, which is slow money anyway). I separated it into training and money making methods and expanded the training to level 99, but I'm not sure if we should take the training part out...it should really only be in the Thieving article...--Gangsterls 21:51, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * My sandbox, its at work21:57, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I ran a spell check on some of it, it had too many mispellings so only the first 100 were marked. I'll have to do the rest some time.22:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

List of Missing Articles
While many of our guides are very detailed and helpful, we have managed to omit some important articles. I will try to keep an up-to-date list of missing articles for contributors to see and hopefully help out with. We are missing MANY items...We need about ten contributors to just go to RuneHQ's Item Database and create pages for each item...uses, prices, etc.

For example, the following links are all fairly common in runescape, but we are missing articles on them:


 * Slave Robes
 * Jangerberries
 * Baby Dragon

Please notify me of any more! Thanks! --Gangsterls 21:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * We shouldn't really pilfer other sites content, though using it for reference is ok. Check out Special:Wantedpages which lists the most linked to articles that aren't created yet. --[[Image:Smithingimg.PNG]] Eucarya Talk 23:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok...I noticed that there actually is an article for rannar seeds. Why doesn't the link work? --Gangsterls 23:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Because you spelt it wrong? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  07:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I deleted those who now have pages...is there such thing as baby green drags anyway? --Gangsterls 21:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  07:52, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, should I just delete this section? --Gangsterls 22:06, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, since this is a discussion page and not a subpage, it should really be somewhere else (User:Gangsterls/Missing articles, for example). JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  11:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Skills Template
You should see the following line in the code.

90+  80+  70+

Now if you want to add a skill here is what you do:

Ex.Now lets say your Fletching level is 85

You would put the following to the right of the 80 image:Fletchingimg|85.PNG dont forget the. --Whiplash 17:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol thanks let me go do that. Gangsterls (I always forget my signature)
 * Ok thanks! Lol as I was putting in the .PNGs, so were you =)! Now let me go do some colors and fonts and have fun with it. I'm pretty much hopeless at code past that =(. Gangsterls.

Skill Images
If you view the skill templates on my user page, you can see that most of the skill images, while excellently taken straight from the game, have blue/white backgrounds. This is unfortunate, as it ruins the immaculate (lol) image of my skill templates. Does anyone know how to edit the image to take out the background? (I just want it changed to make my user page look better lol aren't I selfish. No seriously I'm sure it would make some other pages look better too.)--Gangsterls 19:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * ...Hmm....If I view my user page from my downstairs desktop rather than my upstairs laptop, there is no background around the skill images. Does it depend on the computer? --Gangsterls 19:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds to me like the computer you're using has problems with transparency. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  19:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

MAJOR ERROR
We have a guide for the Runecrafting skill. However, as I was looking at my high scores, the correct name given by Jagex is Runecraft. Is it possible to change a page's name? I know in common RS slang, the name for the skill is RC or Runecrafting. Another common misnomer is calling the Hunter skill 'Hunting'. I'll check the rest of our skill guides to see if we have any other glaring errors.--Gangsterls 17:43, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Runecrafting is called Runecrafting in-game. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  19:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Re:Nomination
Oh my, thank you. I accept, but we have a whole month to go!21:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, hopefully in response to this some others will be nominated and we can get a good couple weeks of voting in. --Gangsterls 21:53, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Signature...
It's erm... Ginormous. I'm not too sure if it's allowed to be that big... 06:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol...it just has every rare! =P I know I should downsize it, but I don't know what to take out...! =(
 * You could downsize the pictures, and make them a link to your name... I'll see if I can do it... 07:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * K thanks I'm not much good with HTML past a little formatting stuff =/.
 * I learned from example... still a n00b at it actually... I'm going to see if this works...

 * I hope this works... 07:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * =( Nope...idk how to get the picture to link to a different page either. I'll sign with the tildes for now. --Gangsterls 07:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I downsized all the pics to 15 pixels and made the talk and contribs superscript...it's a bit better but still long. Is there a way to put the p hat pics under my name? What about the editcount? I just added it, I think it's something no one else has so it's cool =p but now it's even longer...ahh! Also, how do I make it auto-insert the time into my siggy?? --Gangsterls 08:01, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

LOOK!
Omg lol I was looking at the special pages, and I happened to look at Special:Statistics. Look what I found out:

From RuneScapeWiki RuneScape statistics

There are 13,233 total pages in the database. This includes "talk" pages, pages about RuneScapeWiki, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages. Excluding those, there are 2,977 pages that are probably legitimate content pages. There have been a total of 42,218 page views, and 72,014 page edits since the wiki was setup. That comes to 5.44 average edits per page, and 0.59 views per edit. User statistics

There are 104,742 registered users, of which 15 (or 0.01%) are administrators (see RuneScape:Administrators).

?!!?!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 104,742 registered users?!?!?!?!?! And people say we have too many admins...we only have 15. 15/104,742 is .000143209.....! That's a tiny percentage lol. Where did we get all those users? --Gangsterls 08:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * 104,742 for all wikia users. Not only RuneScape wiki. 21:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Really? How do we check the amount for just RuneScape Wiki? --Gangsterls 21:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Active user list. 21:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Your sig..
Biggest sig i've ever seen. I'm pretty sure the max limit was 2-3 images..Unless they changed it, which i doubt. 21:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * What should I do though? Is there a way to put the images under my name? Also...I was wondering how to put the time in. --Gangsterls 21:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * To put the time in use 5 tiddles.  21:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
