Colours
April fools pranks/jokes are supposed to be clever and funny, they shouldn't be annoying and make the site less effective. - Teltic

Can the background/behind-text color be changed back to solid white? It automatically makes your eyes strain to read.

Yeah, there should be an option or something? The Black and red... IT BURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!! PlayerFroob Talk 04:42, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

It's April 2nd in UK now, it should be changed back by NOW. Or I will quit this wiki FOREVER. 13:48, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

well try dark runescape wiki is basically the same but darker all the same stufff so try dark runescape wikiThe Blogger 19:57, June 4, 2010 (UTC) 19:27, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not all the same stuff, this wiki has better material, the dark colours are distracting, and even if you like them, you can easily change your own skin in Special:MyPage/monaco.css. 19:55, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * ok it was my first post im not perfect!!
 * Ha just saying. I hate dark wiki themes; they're impossible to read. 20:04, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Lol what's up with the new pic for the front page?
 * April Fool's joke. Shh. 01:35, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Made me freak out; not LOL. And nobody in the house knew I was awake. Bummer. --Coolnesse 01:46, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

What's with the eyes??? k, 01:57, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

ummm was rs wiki hacked or is that on purpose...its not april fools day everywhere yet lol Wolverine9988 02:04, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter what it is everywhere, because this wiki uses GMT time. 02:05, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

If you don't like it, just disable the custom April Fools skin. That's what I did. 02:06, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

LMAO so funny. I hate when he trips over the server cord :S.


 * Thats so retarded! what's the darn point?

How do u disable or change the skin thingy 05:14, April 2, 2010 (UTC) If you still are seeing the Andrew Gower Wiki try this:


 * Internet Explorer: hold down the Ctrl key and click the Refresh or Reload button, or press Ctrl+F5.
 * Firefox: hold down the Shift key while clicking Reload; alternatively press Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl-Shift-R.
 * Opera users have to clear their caches through Tools→Preferences
 * Konqueror and Safari users can just click the Reload button.
 * Chrome: press Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5

Otherwise you can go to Special:Preferences, and change the skin there. 18:21, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Wiki Pic change?
is it just me, or did someone change the wiki's thumbnail to a picture of andrew gower with retardedly large eyes?

also, in relation to read this now section 47 i think, yes, there are angry mastodons on this wiki. its called a TzTok_Jad and it wil 1 hit you before you pop into existence. Mwuh, Mwuhahee
 * APRIL FOOLS' AHAHAHAHAHA -- 23:27, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

HTML tidying
Someone should use the code on the main page so that it looks better.

Constituion not listed alphabetically in the sidebar
In the sidebar under Skills then Non-member skills, constituion is listed where hitpoints used to be, but it should be moved between Attack and Cooking. -- 21:41, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Moved. -- 21:43, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Contents
Could an admin arrange the 3 column list in the contents section in alphabetical order? (the 3rd column is kinda messed up) Armeng90 02:04, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could edit RuneScape:Main Page. 02:09, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I edited it, thanks. Armeng90 02:20, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * NeutralDone - Thanks, it has been corrected. 02:24, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Give users the option to personally edit sections on their Main Page
I believe that it may be possible, using, to allow users to edit their Main Page. If a user wanted to edit one of their Main Page sections, they would edit a specific userpage of theirs (i.e. User:Someone/Mainpage-contents-mod). The Main Page would attempt to call up this page whether or not it exists. If it does, it takes the data and uses it to modify the section.

I know that I could code it, but I'm not sure if could be used in this way because the JavaScript is loaded after the wikicode. If it does, however, I would like to modify RS:MP to add this feature, and I would like to add a guide to use it.

Thank you for listening to the worst best thing since sliced bread. 19:59, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Couldn't find the proper place for this...
...but I love the RuneScape Wiki! I've been using it since '08 when I first heard of it. It's helped me with everything RuneScape related that I needed to know. If something didn't help correctly, I'd edit it for the better. All my edits have been in good faith, so if I goofed, don't hold it against me negatively, please xD

Anyway, I just wanted to say that all the editors here are awesome. :D 07:08, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Language flags under header
I was thinking that instead of that column in the sidebar, we could have flags for the different languages, taken from the RuneScape website. It would look something like this:

02:04, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Bad idea, as there are 12 language interwiki links on the page, plus would be impossible, or at least ridiculously difficult to make it auto-update. 02:05, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12 language interwiki links on what page? 02:09, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * On the mainpage, the links there decide what links are shown in the sidebar. Currently

                  02:12, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Where would it be placed?? Still on the sidebar or somewhere on the front page?? You didn't say. 02:11, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Front page. First of all, it isn't that hard to auto-update, if we decide to include every single wiki. Second, here, I've only included wikis that have RuneScape communities in the forums; we can have a "More" link. 02:15, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * The 'include all wikis' is a bad idea, as most of them are junk/spam/empty. Also, the languages sidebar can also appear on any page with an interwiki link, and the links available will be different than the main page. 02:23, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, so, say we only include the above wikis. I don't see a problem with having links to them from the main page; after all, Wikipedia does it. 02:33, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, if we want to include wikis that don't have official RuneScape communities (Taiwanese Mandarin, for example), we can simply make a flag. Added a Taiwanese flag easily, above. 02:50, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Anyway this is the wrong place to discuss this, removing a box and adding flags should be brought to the yg. 02:53, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll add a discussion in the morning; it's getting late here. 03:01, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Disclaimer
The disclaimer down the bottom of the front page no longer applies as we are now officially affiliated with Jagex. I have no idea how it should be changed. 04:56, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, looking at the official guidelines, only Gold/Platinum fansites are official. 11:49, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Memory issues using Chrome?

 * Hello, this is Fruit.Smoothie here, I just wanted to bring this up; I'm not sure if this affects only Google Chrome, but lately while using it, every time I try to access the main page the page would freeze and Chrome would crash either due to memory usage errors or scripts not being handled/loaded correctly. If a programmer or coder could somehow reproduce the problem using Chrome, and fix it if possible, then that would be great, as I'm not sure if it's just me or affecting more users too.
 * Thanks! Fruit.Smoothie 05:13, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know, sorry. I use Chrome, and the wiki works fine for me. I'm not a programmer or coder, though. 12:25, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

"The fountain in the basement of the heroe's guild basement"
That is what appears on the featured image tab of the page. Needs corection. I'd do it myself, but I'm not an admin. 00:14, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Front page ads...
I'm sorry but I dont know where else to put this. On the front page, I saw two RWT ads, And when I came back several times, They displayed again... I did'nt get a picture because I was unfamiliar with how to upload images on this wiki (I thought you could do it by URL location). Is this a big concern, Or does this happen a lot? 16:22, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sannse is trying to take care of these for us. 16:22, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * May I add there is also WoW adverts, which seem a little um, strange since the two communties are "rivals" 16:26, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * One more thing... There are some pornographic adverts for some game called "Rappelz". People have stooped so low... 20:21, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with Nagai yume, what a useless advert. 17:47, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

err... I don't know if this is the same for anyone else, but the entire wiki is completely f*ck'd up.

Many item icons need updating
After the Z-buffering update on Sept 15 2010, a lot of item icons seem to have been subtlety changed. I noticed this on the rune scim right away and uploaded it here. A while later I checked to see if all the scimitars had been updated, which they didn't appear to be at first glance (only checked f2p), but they turned out to be slightly different than their older version when opened up and compared to the older version in an image editor. I've uploaded a new version for each f2p scim (bronze, iron, steel, black, mith, addy, and rune), but I don't know about p2p ones.

I also just checked a rune battle-axe and rune 2h against their older versions, and they are slightly different as well (I've also uploaded new versions). I wouldn't be surprised if most melee weapons were updated (if not other things like armor too).

So, if other people could help check for updated item icons (even if they don't look different at first glance) and upload them, that would be nice. Goingtothe 04:34, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the info but as stated at the top of the page this is not the place to talk about it. talk pages are supposed to relate to thier normal page counterparts.

Advertisements?
I've been noticing alot of scam/dishonest runescape advertisements on the mainpage and other pages. Is there any way we could get rid of these?

P.S. I know they're scams because they advertise things like "free party hats" or "100 mil free" Things like that.

Jango122333 17:42, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Also, I've been noticing lots of ads with sound. Really, no. They're really annoying. I'm listening to some cool runescape song, or listening for the sound of a tree falling, and suddenly I hear a vacuum cleaner or something. I really doubt that there were vacuum cleaners in medieval times, but sometimes I can't even see the ad, just hear the sound of it, which is really REALLY aggrivating. Plus, as a little side not, I noticed some video ads (which really slow down my computer) with even another ad at the beginning of it... Doom monger6 14:36, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! Well, I'm quite sure Wikia's doing it's best to filter out these ads. Though that isn't easy. Could you please report any bad ads to Wikia? Please see for Help:Bad advertisements on doing this. 17:44, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * All of the advertisements are bad advertisements because there are so many of them playing at once. One video wouldn't bother most people. 2 videos playing whilst logged into RS tends to slow things down on older machines (like mine). 4 videos playing with sound that overlaps and now it's counterproductive. I imagine many people would be driven away by having to mute 5 different videos every time they click to a new page. --Hairpiece
 * I can see how that could be really annoying. I highly recommend creating an account - it makes almost all of the advertisements disappear. 21:15, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

New skin?
Well, I think it sucks... It's not user-freindly. --
 * The new skin was created by the company that owns this site, Wikia. Unfortunately, those of us working on the wiki itself hate it as well, but we are powerless to remove it. See Forum:Wikia's New Look - Logo, skin, navigation, etc. for complaints discussion on the topic. 20:52, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I changed my skin back to the original (in preferences). Can't stand the new skin. 21:48, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I love it.  23:08, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * The new skin (not the monaco, the one with the dark blue edges) is very inconvienient. 17:29, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

New logo PLUX!!!!
I'm sorry, but there were some great submissions of the competition in Summer. I don't know why you kept this 2004 styled one, even for the new layout, and even kept it to the extent to modify its size.

Please, please, make a nicer logo and favicon. It really brings the wiki down. Sorry, but I'm a big graphics enthusiast.

I came up with a few quick, simple ideas. I hope you take this message into account.

Main logo concept (I realise it seems a bit 'dirty', I'll fix it later :p):

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk184/deathskill/RSWTwo-2.png

Favicon concept (I know the 'R' is pixelated, but when a proper 16x16/32x32 version is created there shouldn't be a problem):

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk184/deathskill/favrsw.png

I like the concepts! I'd keep the runes around the logo, but these are pretty good. Possibilities! -- 20:53, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Heart icon still links to Hitpoints
When the heart icon for Constitution shows up on the top of the main page, it links to the Hitpoints article. This redirects to Constitution automatically, but may look better just linking to Constitution.ledzepmtg in most reference frames 04:49, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Need to edit Stat Template!
I'd be happy to do it, but I'm not sure how.

What I mean is add the new Absorb stats to the template. I suggest just adding a new line with a Mage icon, Ranged icon, and Melee icon with a shield in the corner.

If you think it's pointless, just create a separate template for other items. Still, for good standards, we need the new template :P

I'd be happy to create the icons myself.
 * I'll see if I can figure something out ;) But as for icons, they would have to be Jagex official or none at all. 21:46, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks :D How come they need to be from Jagex? I thought the opposite due to copyright.

Omg is the background of the main page world of warcraft? did the editors put it there since runescape is becoming like WoW. Open for discussion.

Edit History
Someone tell me where I can see the edit history for this page (and the others). I can't find the button. I would appreciate if someone could tell me. Thanks!

-- 16:56, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Ps. It's kind of hard to get help here, when no one's answering the (kazillion) questions I've asked in several talk pages.


 * Look at the black toolbar along the bottom edge of the screen, click Tools, and History should be there. 18:58, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

The poll - Who created the poll? The voting options are vague and misinterpreting. I don't like it, and I don't like it but its better than the old one are essentially the same thing, as well as its good and could be better, and I don't like but its better than the old one are also essentially the same thing. I don't know who writes your polls but they could definitely use some work, there is a lesser desire to vote, when half the voting options are essentially the same thing. A yes, no, a medium, and an I don't really care how it looks, are the only options really needed for a question like that.
 * Agreed. I'm gonna be bold and change it. 20:23, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Automatic Purging of this Page
How is it that this page purges upon refresh? Almost every time the refresh button is pressed, the two and  icons are updated. Can this be explained? 01:19, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * That is likely a function of the templates themselves, which undoubtedly use the function. It will randomly display one of several options which you specify. -- 01:21, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, but even so, this page purges faster than normal. I tried to copy this method for a wiki I'm working on (http://quizzing.wikia.com/wiki/The_ACC_Bible_Quizzing_Wiki), but it takes a very long time for the images to refresh. What's the difference?-- 01:46, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

New Wiki Theme
At first I didn't like the new format of this wiki, but as time goes by I actually don't mine it anymore. Sure, the old one was more efficient, but think about it, now we got a cool map to see where we are( or at least around 1/5 of a map)....but still I'm starting to like the new themeTra93dyTextftwHS House Hold (HS) Tra93dy 06:45, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed... I definitely liked Monaco better, but I don't see why everyone is getting so worked up about Oasis. 13:23, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I wish the Activty bar (Edits made to pages) is still on the front page.

Arr_d.png and Arr-u.png
These two images isn't probably transparent... Link to the images: Arr_d.png Arr_u.png Link to example: Example

Can someone fix this somehow? Btw i'm using a modified monobook-theme if it makes any differences. 22:10, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Behind the Scenes March link
The update for the March behind the scenes link is pointing to the wrong page. It points to Update:Behind_the_Scenes_-_March when it should point to Update:Behind_the_Scenes_-_March_(2011). 20:47, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

Common Trade Index
I'm sure this has been noticed, but it reports "Expression error: Unexpected < operator" multiple times. --Limxzero 05:53, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I never look at the main page, fixed now. That big ugly mess is caused by a single incorrect format edit to a single exchange price. Not a wrong price, just anything wrong with the page itself.--Degenret01 06:22, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Why is Fist of Guthix so crowded?
I meant to post what I wanted to say somewhere else.
