I has a sad
So yea. That whole User:Psycho Robot/Sandbox potions thing I had going. I've decided that the best way to go about it is to use nested tables, one table with a fixed amount of columns since these columns are common to all potions, and a second table about ingredients and production values, since the amount of ingredients varies from potion to potion. But, as I stated in the subject, I has a sad. Despite the fact that the first three columns of both tables have the same measurements (80px), they aren't output as equal lengths! OMG WUT GIVES?! 00:34, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

 * A pox on Killr833! And a pox on cellpadding and cellspacing! Anyways, I've been toying around with getting them nestled up against each other like the whole POH template, and my research indicates that your mother is they key. I mean class="normal POH" is the key. But I can't find where its defined, so I can't figure out what code is used to make them nestle against each other like that. And more damningly, I can't just copy and paste it to make a class="potion table" or something! Where is this mysterious code encapsulated?! 19:10, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * As you may be able to guess, it works exactly the opposite way for me. 96px makes it one pixel too short, and 97 is just right. Intriguing... You must have done something terrible! 23:20, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Take a look at it now. I made the entire table with 590px and left the last columns undefined. They'll fill out to be whatever the browser says it should be... 96px for you... 97px for people who don't suck... Everyone wins! 23:51, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Excellent excellent. The fruits of my labour are coming together. However there yet remains issues to be resolved. How can one specify the height of a table? I tried specifying it in the top part, just after class="wikitable" as height="300" but that didn't work! And manually specifying the height of the rows isn't working either. Its 1 pixel too short, and then I increase 1 row's height by 1 pixel and suddenly its 1 pixel too long! This is madness, pure madness! I'm beginnning to think I may well just need to give up on side-by-side nested tables. 17:34, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Now that the table layouts have been worked out, I just need to make some execution decisions that I'd like your input on. A huge one is how many potions I should try to support. For instance right now I support all tradeable normal potions, all barbarian mixes, all extreme potions, and the tars, but I don't support quest potions like Guthix balance, Guthix tea, and Serum 20whatever. Nor do I support non-standard potions like overload and sanfew serum.

For the quest and non-standard potions I'd have to code a separate table for each one, and if I did that I might as well just hard-code the information right into the template and not have the user provide any input at all, like ... and if I did that what's the point of even using a template at all? Keeping the article code clean I guess? Another alternative is making a set of generic inputs, like "ingredient1" and "ingredient2" so you could put in whatever crazy thing goes into making the potion without being thrown off by the label.

One final thing is, given that I had given up on stacking the Extreme potions table side-by-side, I stacked it vertically and I realised that it fits perfectly under the potions infobox. And I started to think that perhaps the other tables could be oriented like that too, and just be combined with the existing infobox. This not only ensures that it would be in standard position of each article, but it also combines the two functionally similar tables into one coherent entity. Furthermore I could reuse some fields present in the infobox to define things in the tables. It could also stop us from needing to repeat the images, or from having to upload new images, a possibility I encountered when I realised that we had no Extreme strength (1-3) images.

It might also make it easier to support the oddball potions, since if the ingredients were all on one row, as would be the case in this situation, then the amount of columns in that row could easily be changed without affecting the rest of the table. The columns could even be eliminated altogether and they could just be centered in one wide column. It would also stop me from having to think of a name for a new template. PotionAnalysis. Ha! What was I thinking? Although now that I think of it Infobox Potion would have worked out perfectly. Damn. 20:27, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

== Omg hi Gaz I'm making another really long heading title just like I did to Liquid helm and A brunette's to make your Table of Contents span the whole page because I'm bored of smithing cannonballs now ==

Trippy and awesome
Years and years in the future when every possible calculator is completed, do you reckon that it would be possible for someone to create (for example) a firemaking calculator where you put in your name, goal level and how much you are willing to spend, and it calculates the combination of logs that cost that much that will get you to your goal the fastest?? Like say you have 200k to get to 1m xp, and when put in the calculator says that you should buy 1027 yew logs and 8253 maple logs, which cost 199,997 gp and give you 100,012 xp when burnt. Is that not an awesome idea! 05:43, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * This one's mine, no stealing from mai brain. 07:05, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Any way to remove forcibly remove linebreaks? Like with this idea of evil's I'm working on, there is a lot of space, and I tried display:none. 17:17, April 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am amazed that anyone took this seriously, it is so...different and luxurious...to any other calculator. The problem with the idea is that it only works for a few skills like firemaking, fletching, smithing, herblore, cooking, etc. where the rate you make high level items is the same as low level things. 02:12, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure if this is possible to make. It's not a calculator, exactly, it's more of a possibility finder. I'm working on it, but I don't know if the functions available will allow it to be completed. 00:05, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I found something that may make it easier, because my main problem was looping the template. wikipedia:Template:Loop and wikipedia:Template:For_loop. I stole them, they're at Template:For loop and Template:Loop.

a favor
hi- idk if ull help me with this, but i need some templates for another wiki. dont know if u can/want 2 make, but since u made me that userbox u are the first person im asking. 02:01, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Letter from Uberfuzzy
In light of some recent events here I thought it would be of benefit to share out this letter that Uberfuzzy wrote to Azaz129 with all our active sysops, and he has agreed to let me do so. This is not meant as a slap at any one for recent actions, just as some food for thought about us and where we want to be as a wiki. As you and your wiki has shown in the past, a large stable community can exist and be fairly self sufficient at Wikia, with little need from staff/helper intervention. This is a dream of ours, to have more wikis run themselves, allowing us to focus our finite amount of time and resources on the sites that actually need it. Sadly, your wiki is an exception in many ways, not the norm.

As with the checkuser, we've shown that we're willing to try things out, to break away from the mentality of "how things were done in the past" to see how they fair in the ever evolving world of wikis, and to get some real world data on how a stable wiki will react if allowed more rights. You've been great test of our theoretical worries about granting checkuser where needed.

Done. You bureaucrats can now add and remove bot rights.

One thing We've always admired about your wiki is even though you have a way above average number of sysops, you have managed to keep the bureaucrat list small, showing that you understand what that roll is meant for, and not just another checkbox. We hope to continue to see good things come out of runescape, and can continue to use it as a shining example of our dream.-Uberfuzzy --Degenret01 08:56, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

hmm....
[http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Reveal_leaked_info%3F consensus here says we shouldnt have leaks on the wiki. ]and yet, we have an article for leaks. am i missing something? 17:58, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Help please :-P
I'm making a header, and got this far. Whenever I put this on my userpage, it messes everything up great description basically. I thought your good with code, can you try and fix it for me. Heres the code:  ''' Userpage  Talk   Images  Guestbook  Sandbox  Polls  Edits '''| Report

Thanks

Hello Gaz, are you planning to implemented the fixes to the code mentioned in the discussion? Just clearing some of the older discussions 04:11, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Gaz Lloyd
I love pulling Gaz Lloyd's on my talk page. 20:52, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, pulling a Gaz Lloyd could have meant either:
 * Selectively archiving
 * Not archiving
 * Since I can't stand to not archive, I decided to call a Gaz Lloyd selectively archiving instead. I wouldn't be surprised if they called archiving like crazy pulling a Yoshi or pulling a Liquid hel(iu)m. 20:57, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

A Quick Question
Just a quick question... is it possible to un-block someone who was blocked infientidly. Can you un-block them if they were innocent, such as someone using their account, or it being an extermely long time being blocked? Thank You...Stopme 06:06, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Image
I found an image that Mythbusterma tagged on to Forum:Overzelous?. IT was put into the wiki namespace instead of uploaded through an image hosting site. I would delete it myself, but I don't have that kind of ultra power, could you please take care of it? It's called File:Zealousy.png. Sicerely, your friend,-- 03:00, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

wat u do????/
What did you do? I'm not sure how, but you made many box and table templates to have the width determined by the longest text string, which is bad. Real bad. 00:11, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's still happening, at least for me. 15:18, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, some pages are working, some aren't, even with the same infobox. I've tried a hard refresh, and it didn't do anything, also I tried a null edit to see if it was just all transclusions hadn't been updated yet. As for an example, Cockroach_worker. 17:31, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * not for me.  18:27, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * yay, It works now. I would say thanks, but that doesn't make sense as you broke it in the first place :p. 18:40, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Dungeoneering/Runecrafting.
Hey Gaz, I had added this little bit of info that I feel all Runecrafters should know, and I was wondering if it should be posted under F2P Runecrafting training... Since it was deleted off of the "Subject" page.....

"It is recommended for F2P players that wish to train their level to: first, finish the dungeon; second, sell all your items except the bound(b) ones, then buy rune essence with the money; and third, use the rune essence to make the highest level rune you can, sell and repeat until you don't have enough money to buy more rune essence."

Please help me find the correct spot for this valuable information. Thanks.

Dungeoneering Help
I was wondering if you could shed some light on how to access the right and left dungeoneering doors. I want to do it solitary, and desire to also set the difficulty and complexity levels myself. I have only been able to use the free-for-all door as far. If you could let me know, it would be greatly appreciated. The information of the main article is rather unclear.

Thank you, 14:03, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Nomad
Hey Gaz, was just wondering if you had good strategy against nomad. What gear should i use, inven, familiar ( have 70 summoning) etc.

Thnx

Edit report
Hi Gareth, I have just closed Forum:Edit report, and I've copied over the stuff from your sandbox, with a few amendments. 3i+1 moved a bunch of stuff over to a subpage. Can you go look at Template:Userinfo to make sure that we didn't screw anything over? Thanks. 00:45, April 16, 2010 (UTC) z zz -- 00:51, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

CitePoll
Sorry to bother you, but could you make Template:CitePoll for citing the RuneScape Polls (see discussion)? I've tried, but I can't get it to work for some reason. 13:14, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
