That page is an exception. It's been around for a very long time, and it's very easy to check through the hiscores. The policy of not listing player names says you can list them for things such as this. And the article is fine, it does not need clean up. Furthermore it really doesn't get vandalized enough to warrant protection. 09:18, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

"Refs"
Click on the blue links...they go straight to the same pages that your refs do, but they don't take up unnecessary space. 01:25, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Yes but adding the refs only takes up a tiny bit of space on the table and adds a PROPER FORMAL references section down the bottom. But i will admit it clogs up the page a bit... Matthew2602 01:29, July 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Proper, formal? Where is policy that states that that kind of reference is more proper/formal than the kind that was already there? 01:32, July 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * It doesn't, but is then none at all.

So, can we just agree to leave it as links since they serve the same purpose in a more concise space? 01:38, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Well technically keeping it links doesn't actually reference it. It's like saying "We're not gonna tell you if we're right or not, your gonna have to find out for yourself." Matthew2602 01:43, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

That's just your interpretation, some users may find it easier to not have to look through references. It's just 1 click to see the source, very simple. 01:50, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Well with refs all you do is get the number of the ref, click on it (which takes you down to the ref section) and click on the ref with the same number. Easy... --Matthew2602 01:59, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Fine, I give in. But above the table i'm adding in italics "The following claims regarding which player was first to get 200 million experience in a specific skill are correct and the contributors of this page have personally verified this.--Matthew2602 11:32, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Why did you report Manyman to the CVU? 06:21, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wai? 06:35, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Becuase of this. --Matthew2602 06:41, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Why did you report someone for reverting vandalism? 06:45, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

He reverted vandalism?! --Matthew2602 07:02, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Followed pages
Hey, To remove the Followed pages thing from your userpage, go to your preferences, go to the Followed pages tab, and select Make my followed pages list private. That should do it. 04:56, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, next time you want something that you made to be deleted, you're likely to get a faster response by putting a speedy deletion template on the page in question. Just put  on any such page. Admins will usually delete it within minutes. Admin requests sometimes goes a while without being checked. 00:40, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S. I also fixed your signature so the time is now properly outside the box. 00:42, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh ok I'll do that next time, and yeah I noticed, thanks! 00:46, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey but if I put reason on a template, whenever the template is used, wouldn't a speedy deletion tag appear above the template in any page it's used on? 07:00, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but you can get around that by doing it like this: . The noinclude tags means that anything between them will not be included when the template is transcluded onto another page.  07:05, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh ok, thanks for helping me with all this stuff. You should be a b'cat.  07:11, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I love paperwork and rules. 07:12, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * SO DO YOU ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION TO BE A B'CAT?! 07:26, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just made my first userbox! Like it?   07:53, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not a huge fan of the colour scheme, but otherwise its pretty nice. To be honest I'm quite surprised that a userbox like that hasn't been made yet. Its so obvious no one thought of it! 08:17, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I would have used other colours but I could only figure out how to make these work.  SO DO YOU ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION!?  08:36, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, there's no need for another bureaucrat currently. Bearcats is what we need! Anyways, if you want different colours, i suggest using this list and the way you use it is:


 * The actual input varies of course depending on what you're using. 03:34, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * May I ask how you got that hex code? 06:33, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's just a random hex code I typed up. I don't really know what colour it leads to. This page has a list of colours, their names, the hex codes, and the rgb values that produce them. 06:37, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * But I remember trying colours from that page and them not working. =/ 06:44, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Did you perhaps try something like "#red" or maybe did you try a hex code without the octothorp? Octothorp = # in case you didn't know. Free vocab lesson! 06:49, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha!  I think I did it without the......octothorp? Hmmm...wonder who named it that.....  06:56, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Damn! 200 million experience got knocked right off the hot-spots.  07:00, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do those X11 colours work with ?  07:07, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes they do, and in fact if you take a look at the actual userbox template, you'll see that the color you input gets used in a style="" setting anyways :P 07:08, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oops, ignore that noinclude,  Oh awesome!!!  THAT MAKES THINGS A WHOLE LOT MORE COLOURFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   07:19, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Changed the userbox; replaced the cyan with a nice gold.  07:27, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think when choosing colours its important to ask why you are choosing the specific colour. Picking gold is a natural choice since treasure trails equate to wealth, but why choose green or red? I think it'd look nice with a gold border, white image background, a text background that's the same colour as the scroll, with black text. it'd be a mix of the wealth symbolism of a clue scroll with the actual physical look of a clue scroll. 07:32, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * .....Wow your a deep thinker, but hey, I guess that's why your admin......I'll have another look at it. 07:41, July 20, (UTC)
 * Now?  07:50, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it definately looks better, but seeing it now the white looks a bit off. maybe make that the clue scroll colour too. 07:52, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not white, it's PAPAYA WHITE But um, how about THIS instead of the white? 08:07, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Welcoming old users
Generally there's no need to welcome old users if they haven't made an edit in two years and are probably long gone. 03:12, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * ....Huh...okay.  03:17, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

In-activeness
Just like to let everyone know that tomorrow I'm going on a trip for the next 3 days. So if you post something here, don't expect a response soon after. 06:38, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Back :P 23:56, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Userbox changes
Hmmm... I suppose you're right. I'll add it back in. 04:55, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 05:01, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uh, that sounds like the exact same thing as Template:Userbox >_> 05:37, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Firstly, nice mirrored sig. And second, well yes and no. I'll see if I can get a working example. 05:51, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, don't worry about it. 06:03, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it looks nice, but I would make the text and image a bit smaller so its closer to the other userboxes in terms of side> That's just a personal preferences, sometimes no one cares about things like that. 00:54, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Tome Raider
Sorry about that. I shouldn't have been so quick to judge. Even I, who claimed there was nothing left to add, did not see the words "planned title" in Mod John A's post. Good thing you noticed it, otherwise readers of the article might have thought it is 100% a permanent name. Please excuse my ignorance. Continue editing. 10:44, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Signature
10:42, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * .....CRAP! Why is it doing that?! I seriously don't know why it is doing that...help? 10:50, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * You might not see this so I'll post it on your page. 11:08, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I see.  11:10, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well too late, it's already on your page.  11:13, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Go to your preferences and in the 'Custom signature' field/box, change it to . That will fixed it for future signing.  11:19, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Testing, testing... 11:23, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes it works!!! Woooo, thanks! By the way, have everybody's signatures widened? 11:25, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Widened... err... only if the person changes their signature. 11:34, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Like gotten bigger up and down, I swear it's just suddenly wider..... I gotta go.  11:36, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Request for closure
If the page already has a Request for closure template on it please don't put another one on as this does nothing because this template just put the page on a certain page and making another doesn't do anything. Thanks. 10:59, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok then. 11:00, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Request for Rollback tools
You can now use Rollback. 19:40, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Colors
I'm not sure what you're talking about, I don't see any blue or red on my page apart from the signatures. Perhaps it has something to do with your skin User:Matthew2602/monaco.css 22:03, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Supporting/Opposing stuff
When you support/oppose stuff, you really should leave a reason, even if it's someone elses reason, in that case write "per insert user here". Just helping out  07:58, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okey dokey, and yeah, I do do that. 08:00, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Firemaking locations guide
Hey. Preserving article history is important so that we do not lose old information or past editing events. You're correct; you can only move a page once. So when you split pages, it is best to move the old page to one of the new page titles, then change it how you see fit. I chose F2P because majority of the old article's info was free-related. Even though it seems the information is completely from scratch when looking at the P2P guide's history, at least the history is not lost. 07:33, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know preserving article history is important...Ohhhh ok.  07:35, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

CVU
Don't report people to the CVU unless they deserve a block. In this case (with the Magic box), the edit was not particularly offensive, it was the first offence, and it didn't warrant a block. In general, unless the edit is incredibly inappropriate, you warn, don't block. 03:00, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Now he gets a block :) Anyway, you should use the warn templates more often. 03:02, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought the warn and other notice templates were only for admins and b'cats. 03:04, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope. Anyone can use them  03:42, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Usually we don't bother with Warn4. If it's profane or really inappropriate, use Warn3 the first time then report. If it's just a test edit, use Test1 or Test2. 03:51, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Removing a little bit of information, writing "lololol", or something like that. It's not that important which message you use, more that they just get warned. 03:55, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you are going to use a warning template or something like that (like here), please add 'subst:' (case insensitive) to the beginning of the template name this way if the template is changed in the future, that user page is not affected. Thanks.  04:19, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cheers, good job. By the way, subbing the templates is more of a personal thing. I personally see no reason to do so. 04:27, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm conflicted. 04:29, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you're conflicted, go ahead and subst them. There's nothing wrong with that :)  04:34, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

It's actually the other way around; it's almost sort of a violation of RS:DDD because we want it to appear as it was when the warning was made. That being said, it doesn't really matter. 22:55, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Oh...
There was a message on RS:UH that Yew grove is quicker, so i thought, let's place it there then... I didn't know it wasnt the right place. 23:02, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Summoning
Hey, I was wondering why you changed the wpalso on Summoning from Conjuration to Summoning. I changed it due to a redirect. 03:24, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I would hope that the average user knows what it means . But I guess it's fine. 03:54, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!
Whilst I was still editing the Ratcatchers section you very kindly came along, charged in and re-saved the section I was actually working on and entirely wiped out what was by then about 20 minutes of work in progress referencing some of the dialogue that takes place during the quest. You can’t see it because of your blundering it was never saved. How about just taking your time in future and seeing what's happening before you blunder around destroying someone else's work? To say I’m a little disappointed would be an understatement! 11:46, August 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply but I was "that ip adding trivia", and what was initially a very minor edit because something just a tad longer. I hadn't bothered to log in because of its minor nature. If you take a peep now you will I'm sure see the relevence. Anyway being in such a good mood I popped back and re-edited so no harm done, all the best. 22:23, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Vandalism
Hmm... Could you please tell me which page(s) I supposedly vandalized? Because I do not recall doing anything to vandalize pages. 14:26, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Well, if I actually vandalized anything a few days ago like you claimed, someone probably should already have told me to stop before today (or yesterday for your time zone, not sure). It probably is a missunderstanding and you might have seen someone with a name similar to mine.

The only major chunks of code I remember removing are on the Calculators/Farming_herbs article, where I removed most of the code for a slimmer version that had the same result. Asides from that, I have mainly been doing edits to the YG and to calculators and their templates, so I doubt I have been doing any vandalism there. Although, it is possible that I did do a mistake. Anyways, it's all cool. 22:06, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Stuff
There is nothing wrong with telling one of us demigods we are wrong, we'll just smite you then go about our business. But srsly, I blocked them both before blanking, just some of us don't say blocked/warnedf/etc in the summary. If you check the block log and compare it to the cvu's history, you'll see that usually a blank means it was taken care of. Also, sometimes we might not even remember to remove something from it, so it could be hours before it's removed. 07:04, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, like the summaries, some of us don't give warnings/block notices, we leave it to others to do that. 07:13, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, you can give blo9ck notices, but of course you can't actually block people. 07:22, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

block notices
Hai, I understand what you're trying to do, but I don't think you should do it. There's typically no need to add those notices so far after the fact. Many of those vandals have been blocked for days or weeks. Also these vandals know that they are blocked because when they attempt to edit when blocked, they get a notice from the website that they are blocked. Doing that could confuse people. 07:36, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh oops I gues sI wasn't paying much attention. I guess I read the first warning they got instead of the last one :P anyways its still unnecessary but if its only from yseterday and today, I don't see an issue. 07:44, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Re: 200m
Heh, don't worry about it. I was kind of a dick about it as well, but I think we can put it behind us  22:35, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Re:200m xp thing
Hey, it's cool. I understand. And I don't hold anything against anyone on wiki. So yeah  03:38, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, that edit you reverted is right...see 2147483647. I'll write some more about it so it's not so vague when I get a chance. 06:23, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

A Question.
