Thanks for adding those sub cats to the weapon overrides. I wasn't sure how to add subcats. Awesome job!! 11:21, March 3, 2017 (UTC)

Abilities
Hi Salix... I noticed that Flurry in the Attack section of Abilities page is listed as a non-member ability.. just a bit cautious to make the change in case I'm not understanding something. Flurry is a member theshold ability...maybe its the way it's presented meaning that the table is trying to show non-member abilties?Wynn Andye (talk) 22:33, March 5, 2017 (UTC)

Release dates
Hey, quick reminder based on your edit summary: Forum:Release date clarification says that we should leave them all at 3/9, and mention the actual obtainable dates ingame, as you yourself suggested. :P 10:20, March 10, 2017 (UTC)

Guthixian transcripts

Shades
I'd like to consult you regarding naming conventions for shades (not the Sepulchre of Death ones). Here's the thing; How should we go about doing this? Last time failed. 14:30, April 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) Shades in Mort'ton and the catacombs when on the ground, are called Name 'Shadow'. When you attack them and they rise up, this does not change. Their examine text does, however.
 * 2) However, if they attack you (due to aggressiveness), they become 'Name Shade'. Their examine also changes.
 * 3) In Temple Trekking, they are called 'Name shade', I think, with a lower case S. I am uncertain, but I think they might not have the special attack that shades normally do there.
 * 4) The exception is Fiyr shades, which are simply called 'Shade'.

Transcript - TokTz-Ket-Dill
Salix.. you have edited Transcript of TokTz-Ket-Dill while I was editing and I have lost all my work. I realize that there is way to work on this without two editors on a document but I don't understand it yet. I have lost 6-7 continuous hours of dialogue addition on this 2008 quest (worked from 10pm - 4am). Unfortunately, the opportunity to recover the dialogue again is lost because I have moved on too far in the quest. I am beyond discouraged... what I do want to say is that this is not the first time this has happened. It was a very difficult and complicated quest dialogue and it is a shame it is lost for a few minor edits. I just wish you had considered that I am new with the Wiki, that this situation has happened with another quest, and that the save changes said "in progress." If there is a way you can rectify this I hope you can for the Wiki. "Wynn Andye (talk) 10:24, April 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * I guess these things happen. I will have to learn to use the "under construction" and save more often. I was upset at the time but over it now. Thanks for your reply. Wynn Andye (talk) 04:35, April 29, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Transcript:Hero's Welcome

RE: Visual Editor
I often use a mix of the visual editor and the source editor. I often use piped links very intentionally, because I feel like lobsters looks much better, with the s included in the link. I was not aware (and have since been informed) that doing this is against the style guide, and will regretfully stop doing it.

Do you know, perhaps, if there's any particular reason for that? I hold guidelines in high esteem, but I can't wrap my head around why editors should have to make links that - in my opinion, at least - frankly look strange. Am I the only one that thinks they look better when the whole word is linked, instead of every letter but the s?

Sorry for doing this, I'll avoid it from now on. And thanks in advance for your response :) 07:39, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

EDIT: Okay, I am entirely confused now. When I was looking at it before, the s's weren't included in the links, which is why I piped them. Looking at the current version where you removed the piped links, the s's are in the links. But... they weren't before? 07:45, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

A Towering Feast
"it's not on the quest list, nor is this the icon shown on the non existent accept quest screen for this holiday event"

https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/runescape2/images/8/8f/A_Towering_Feast_icon.png/revision/20111221200406

It's also used on the NPCs and Items related to the event.

http://i.imgur.com/Q3Jdhr2.png

It's a quest icon for all intents and purposes. 16:53, May 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * All the other infoboxes are using the right click icons too though? They're just smaller versions of the quest accept screen icon. The fact that Towering Feast is a holiday event in addition to being a quest doesn't change the fact it has a quest icon, and I don't really see the argument for not using it on the infobox. 11:37, May 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, apparently the other ones aren't using the mini-icons, I assumed they were because they were uploaded as files ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 11:40, May 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * Navbox* ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 12:01, May 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * 2011 Easter event (although the images are terrible), 2011 Hallowe'en event and 2012 Christmas event also do. 13:37, May 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * The Yew Grove proposal was for the mini icons from right-click menus to be used (and presumably no image whatsoever if such icon does not exist, since the quest icons from the accept screen (ugh that screen) look bad when scaled down). By RS:UCS, A Towering Feast counts as a quest for this purpose. In fact it is a quest, just not accessible at the moment. When released, it was actually in the quest list and had quest mechanics and interfaces. There is no reason not to use the icon. 17:52, May 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, the accept screen icons look plain bad when downsized and shouldn't be used if you ask me, and it's clear now what Manpaint's proposal was. Also, zebras are definitely equine, and hooves aren't characteristic to horses. As for A Towering Feast, it's a quest in every single thinkable property apart from being temporary, which is not something even remotely relevant to whether or not its icon should be used, if we proceed with that idea. 19:11, May 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you please stop adding downsized quest icons to the navboxes? They do not look nice at all. 06:58, May 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * That is plain bureaucratism - as if a fraudulent banker would say 'sue me' when told to stop. These icons look bad and they aren't what was suggested in the first place. 16:52, May 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * Why would you not "allow" the removal of something that looks bad? I know you put a lot of effort into adding all those icons and that's appreciated, of course, but you've got to admit that they have to go. 06:31, May 13, 2017 (UTC)

Spirit Gems
Hi!, I noticed the changes you made to the spirit gems to make the (a) versions into links. I was initially going to do that until I noticed that the (a) pages all redirect back to the regular version. So basically it's a link to itself lol. Just wanted to make sure that's what you intended :) 23:10, May 11, 2017 (UTC)

You really don't have to keep doing this

Titles
It is easy enough to sort the titles by region column, yes. But that does not show the requirements to get them all together in one place. The current titles article requires me to look at each title individually. I'm in Prifddinas; there are some titles that are simple to do, like the Challenged or Sweet Tooth. And there are others that require buying a cape(s) costing like 1m gp each, which I'm not gonna do for a title. Querying wikia for Elven titles is a crapshoot; I usually end up here and not on Prif page.

The Prifddinas article already shows these titles in a group (unless you have decided to Be Bold and remove something helpful.) It's a good resource specifically because it includes the requirements. I think doing that for all of the titles on the title page might turn it into a circus. Maybe not. Lazy people like me want to see which titles we can get easily. It is simple if you were playing when they were released. But now you have to depend on the regional or sub-articles to tell you.

This article shows the origin and meaning of the title, and is useful if you see someone with the title and want the origin/meaning. But you could just as easily query that. I made the High Scores addition just to explain "wtf why are there so many titles with the same names?"

I'm babbling. Please restore the link, it was helpful. Pokemama1 (talk) 10:48, May 13, 2017 (UTC)


 * New topic, same page, lol. When sorted by source, the ## of loyalty points is not sorted by ascending order, but by the first number in the text. I realize this is not an easy fix because it is obviously a text field, not numeric. It is painful to see in the dungeoneering shop as well. Numbers can be parsed from a text field but this needs to happen throughout the wiki and that is way above my knowledge.
 * I think perhaps the individual title page template has a few weaknesses. I wanted to add (top 100) in parentheses to look nice for the main titles article, but due to the infobox on the individual page it would be displayed inside another set of parentheses. I understand your desire to template and collect things so that they are changed everywhere at once. However, this does make life more challenging for the average wikia editor, especially one using visual editor who can't even see that a template is being fetched. I've been a regular wikipedian since 2004 and have an engineering degree, so it's not like I'm helpless here, just new. But if we want everyone to be able to add info to the wikia, it should be accessible and not overly complicated. IMHO the most intricate and elegant capabilities of wikia software should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Use for compiling drop tables is perfect. The "universal quest reward" template was a Good Thing and now is somewhat incomprehensible. Not saying I have a 100% solution - but I think it's important to remain aware of the issue.
 * also is there a way to direct message you rather than posting publicly on your talk page? Pokemama1 (talk) 19:03, May 13, 2017 (UTC)

RE:Navboxes
Aye, that was my intent eventually. I was planning on creating navboxes for each piece of lore then creating stuff like categories. Was actually going to ask for your help once I was done with actually creating the navboxes and categories and such, as I'm currently just using a basic navbox but was planning on using a specially created navbox layout that'd add categories and transcripts etc similar to how Quest navbox does. As fer "Personalities", does "Characters" sound better? 07:42, May 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * That's why I'm creating them as navboxes before I create them as specialised navboxes, but if it's quite all right I'd like to keep Varrock in the Legend of Arrav navbox, given its significance to the story. Better getting the flaws out of the way in the testing stage. And before ye say I should also remove Reldo, I'm planning on making a specialised navbox for him anyway, as he already has a double digit of navboxes 14:30, May 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay I've created all bar 2 lore navboxes, and I'm nae touching them until all the fuss has been dealt with. When ye've got a moment, can ye create something similar to the Quest navbox for lore please? There's half a dozen that are ready to be used for testing purposes, rest just need a few pages created 20:26, May 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Doubt we'll need anything else. Think everything else is minor enough to count as "related" and Jagex have stated they're nae that keen on releasing further lores 21:37, May 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Of course - I only shortened the names for those 2 articles cause I couldnae be bothered writing out A True and Concise History of the Discovery of the Runes in brackets every time 22:06, May 16, 2017 (UTC)

Grufeld Bach
Grufeld Bach has naething to do with the original version of the quest. That is why I removed him. Only reason why he was on there in the first place was cause he was replaced in 2014 and somebody decided to shunt all the stuff changed/removed from the 2013 version onto the 2001 version, including the transcript, which despite linking from the 2001 version has naething to do with the 2001 version at all. Unless if my memory has betrayed me and Grufeld Bach held the fourth Sliverlight key. If Bach belongs anywhere it's on the current version template with a note that he's been removed 15:29, May 18, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Section headers
I added casing to the section headers after checking other pages first to make sure that's how they should be. Sliske's Endgame, specifically, as it was the first to come to mind. Should the headers on that one not have similar casing?

Also, my bad on the bolding. They don't show up as bold in the visual editor and I'm still trying to break my habit of using it >.< 20:20, May 19, 2017 (UTC)

Messages in bottles rotation
The rotation of one every two days, one every three days, etc is not even revealed on the castaways page as a simple intelligent explanation. It's hidden in a formula: only the previous, current and future days are listed. I would have added this information on the specific page if it was revealed to me, but it was not.

Rather than forcing the user to click links until they find out what mentality the organizer had, perhaps you should put ONE set of information on the bottle itself, and pick that up to assemble into a grid (as you have done with the titles.) Right now the bottles are mentioned (1) on The Arc article, (2) on each minor island article (which would be considered by wikipedia as unworthy of its' own article, but okay on RuneScape fansites we want to deliver more), (3) on the person's page, (4) on the item page (as well as disambiguation), and only finally (5) collected into a useful table so that the player has ONE page to plan and track his/her search. The other pages don't have that ONE piece of info needed: where and when can I find this bottle?! I realize it's annoying to repeat info in multiple places and then try to keep them all updated, but hiding the info is not the answer. Maybe that's where your collecting of info from the item via nav boxes should come in. (See suggestion in new topic below.)

Link proliferation is part of the problem here. The Arc wiki links to ALL of these, the island, the bottle, the character, etc in The Arc article. Send people to one place only, and link the minor bits from there. When I finally discovered the Castaways main article I added it to the Arc page as the "Main article" link; it wasn't there before and caused this page-hopping nightmare. Pokemama1 (talk) 16:39, May 22, 2017 (UTC)


 * A smart remark like "now it has been revealed to you" is not helpful. Saying "the first bottle spawns every x days" is meaningless outside of the order of the castaways lists: the turtle islands are 7th, 8th and 9th on that list. It is straight in your mind and so you think it should be "obvious" to everyone. It is not. One of the things that motivates a player to contribute is that they ran into difficulty using the wika information, and they want to clarify it to make life better for other players. Removing clarifications and explanations is counterproductive. It's obstructive. And it's petty.

Leaving your scent
I posted a version of the following two paragraphs on the talk pages of Ciphrius and "seven-eyes", but my rant was really inspired by your actions, so I've changed it. I also added the third paragraph.

I appreciate that you guys are trying to make the wikia great. I am too. I get that you want everything consistent. But it seems like you are constantly refusing changes and I don't have the energy to fight with you after I have made the effort to go in game and get information which any user expects. I shouldn't have to fight you. Your constant edits of my work are sometimes helpful, but often are trivial and unnecessary. EVERY edit made by anyone outside the "core" members is chased by an admin who wants to leave their scent on it, and I find it objectionable. The "pages just changed" feature is being ABUSED. Especially when it's two minutes after someone has saved a change and is still wrestling with the article. On your page someone posted she lost TWO HOURS of quest dialogue when you came and clobbered her work between saves. Not all browsers retain what has been drafted into a form. If we more carefully do multiple saves to preserve our work incrementally, you guys are in there sniffing at it and revising it within minutes. It is rude and inconsiderate to others. Even if the average editor knew about the "under construction" notice, I would bet it would be overlooked by people eager to "fix" something. I could be rude and say that you just want to inflate the number of edits shown on your name, but I am unsure that a pressing need for prestige crosses your conscious mind.

These edits are a constant insult to users who have done in-game research on a topic while you are at your desk creating navboxes, just to change a phrase that isn't the way you personally would have written it. A question of vandalism or outright misinformation that will harm readers needs correction immediately. Spelling mistakes can be corrected later. And people who will be contributing regularly eventually need to learn where you want Fishing and level 15 capitalised or not, to be consistent across the wiki. But STALKING a person's edits isn't right. And stalking to revise everyone's edits is worse.

Let me be direct: you guys aren't just monitoring pages to protect players from someone deliberately vandalizing the wiki with bad information. No, you are marking your territory, like a dog does, making it clear that this is YOUR wiki, and players who want to help other players are only here at your forbearance. You are sending a message, and it is "Go away. We want the information you have researched when we couldn't be bothered to find it in-game ourselves, but it is Ours now and we will be taking full credit."

Does the RS Wiki have a policy about chasing recent edits? Because if they don't, they should. Pokemama1 (talk) 20:09, May 22, 2017 (UTC)

Excessive bolding
Sorry, didn't see your edit on the bolding. --194.150.65.25 12:21, May 23, 2017 (UTC)

Off-hand
Hello! So I noticed the edits you made to my recently updated pages Defender, Rebounder and Repriser, where you changed "offhand" to "off-hand". I will definitely use 'off-hand" from now on.

The reason that I used "offhand" was because I noticed that if you hover your mouse over the "Slot" icon in the Combat Stats infobox on any specific off-hand item page, it says "offhand slot" rather than "off-hand slot". This is the case on every page that is a shield or any off-hand weapon or item. Based on that I incorrectly assumed "offhand" was correct.

Since "offhand" clearly is not correct, I would love to be able to change it so that it says "off-hand slot" when it is hovered over, but I don't have the knowledge how to change this. Some guidance would be appreciated. 15:20, May 29, 2017 (UTC)

Re: "The" Jack of Spades?
The quest has been officially referred to as "The Jack of Spades" in the past, such as on Twitter and Reddit. If it turns out to not have a "The" then it shouldn't be too hard to move it to the correct name. For now though, I'd rather go off those official responses than a seemingly unfinished leaked newspost 11:23, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

Discontinued content
Hey Salix, I'm going to get some sleep now but if you want something to do, it might be worth organising our discontinued content templates and creating new ones. I noticed when adding templates to Spring Fayre content that we have a lack of useful templates.

We have:


 * Discontinued content
 * Discontinued override
 * Discontinued title

It may be worth making the bottom two sub-pages of the first, and adding additional ones for pets, music tracks, emotes, etc - like you've done for the seasonal content templates. These are all types of content that are discontinued from say, the fayre, but don't have an appropriate template for them (so they are in dire need of one :P) 00:23, June 6, 2017 (UTC)

Help with Sophanem Slayer Dungeon
Hi! You've helped me with things I couldn't figure out in the past, so I thought I'd ask you again.

I noticed that the article Sophanem Slayer Dungeon has been erroneously placed in the category Menaphos. The correct category of Sophanem has been added, but I can't seem to figure out how to remove Menaphos as the category. I'm assuming it's hidden in some way and I don't have the wiki permissions to see it to modify it? 11:02, June 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * It was Template:Sophanem Slayer Dungeon that was adding the Menaphos category. I've edited the ctg parameter to the correct one. 11:07, June 7, 2017 (UTC)

Notes, notes, notes.
I heard you like notes. Anyways, removed most of the  stuff from QGs and also spaced between asterisks and stuffs. Although it doesn't affect anything adversely, it does show a space in the beginning of the list item. For that reason I think it's technically bad formatting but whatever :P

Lol
https://i.imgur.com/wNMhFAM.png

You're not even the real Salix!
You thought you could just switch over to Menaphos? Nice try... About the globals thing, check out my sandbox, trying to consolidate it a bit by putting the return description in within the data as seen here. Idk how to Lua so if you wanna try to fix the sandbox module, refer to the errors here. Then the actual test of the module is here.

RE:While Flooring Sleeps
Aye, but I think the Americans would get upset if we told them to abandon their system 21:42, June 12, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Description in /data
I just figured it's easier to manage by not having it in one place and not having to type them manually, rather have the constants dynamically generated. If you think we should manage them separately I guess it's fine but it's not only more work but can lead to potential inconsistencies between the doc and data.

Pet granularity
In response to your message on RuneScape:Requests for splitting/Magic carpet (pet), I *believe* the Pet of Seasons recolours are actually pets that are held in your inventory, apart from the one you get when you combine them all together to create the pet accessible through the interface. Angelic Inari is a recolour you're correct, but that page is as recent as May this year, so we still can't really base other pages off it. This is why a YG thread is a much better idea so that if it does pass that articles relating to interface pets should be split, any pages (including Magic carpet (pet)) can be split without the need for a RfS - ty for understanding :) 12:27, June 13, 2017 (UTC)

RE:Changes: One of a Kind/Quick guide
"rewards are not needed on the Quick guide, that's what the full guide is for" I urge you to reconsider. The wiki's list of rewards is much more comprehensive, and lists rewards that the in-game rewards screen doesn't. By me providing a link to the full guides rewards (which by no means reduces the quality of the concept of a "quick guide") it allows players to view rewards that before hand they did not know of. At least, I personally always finish off a quest by scrolling back to the top of the page, and going to the full guide to see the rewards. Adding a link there makes the guide more complete, for people like me makes it more convenient, and in my opinion improves the quality of the quick guide. -- 20:00, June 15, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Explorer Jack
Well if that is the case, then perhaps he is not bugged and we should remove my edit?

I've been focusing on getting my tasks completed lately and on the day I edited it, I had completed 12. Since then, I have completed 23 additional tasks and yet he still says I have completed zero. So they must have removed a significant amount!

You're an admin though and I'm just a lowly editor, so if you think my statement doesn't belong based on what the Jmod explained, then I will remove my edit (or you can remove it lol). Just let me know what you want me to do :) 23:15, June 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you for sharing the everyone is equal page with me. I was unaware, but now I know. I do find editing the wiki extremely enjoyable and I'm glad that everyone is equal. It makes for a very pleasant environment. Perhaps one day I will be able to have extra tools as well! Thank you again for all your help! 23:39, June 15, 2017 (UTC)

Your edits look good, it's definitely a lot cleaner that way. Thanks for taking care of it! Aescopalus (talk) 21:55, June 19, 2017 (UTC)

Extra space
Cook is right. This is what I meant to show you before: see image I noticed it like halfway through. Because the browser trims any whitespace, it appears fine, but technically isn't correct wiki markup. So... it should not have a preceding space.

Quicker way?
Yesterday I spent some time improving the crush weapons article. I've looked at the slash and stab pages as well, and they're also in need of a lot of work. I'd like them to look like the crush page, tbh. That took forever though, and it was already in a table before I got to it.

Do you know of a quick way to replicate the crush weapons page on the other two melee types, or will they need to be written manually? 14:45, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know DPL, so looks like it's gonna be manual.


 * Fun.


 * Ah well, I have a few days off. But not tonight :( 14:58, June 21, 2017 (UTC)

Template
Alright, I was just looking at some page (I forgot which) and it had the template Nex: Angel of Death on it. Which wasn't made yet. So I thought the regular Nex and Nex AoD templates still had to be made. --Galian prist (talk) 15:56, June 22, 2017 (UTC)

 * By that time, NXT will presumably be finished and actually look good everywhere, so that'll take ages. :P 09:10, July 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * I can't stand the insane loading times, the weird blue-grey lighting and unphysical shadows in dungeons and inside buildings, the bad textures and lighting on chatheads, and I think that's mostly it. They will have fixed the broken AA by now. 09:28, July 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * Honestly, dunno. Once within a few weeks of release and then once more some time this year I think. But by looking at wiki images (e.g. Senliten's tomb or any chathead) I can observe it still isn't to my liking, though perhaps loading times have improved. 14:54, July 5, 2017 (UTC)

Titles
Ok thanks; suffix isn't an official term used by Jagex anywhere. I only added it because that's what the Wiki called the Mobilising Armies titles before Titles became an official term for it. I'll remove it now. 01:58, July 3, 2017 (UTC)

Double Spacing
I thought I saw double spacing on a transcript you worked on. I looked closely at the books and it appeared that it might be double spacing between sentences. I am fine with single spacing - just thought that you had done it on a transcript - I could be wrong about seeing that. I'll backtrack and take out the double spacing... Thanks :) Wynn Andye (talk) 13:35, July 4, 2017 (UTC)


 * Interesting...so in the case of library books - what do you think? Should spacing be left as is to be consistent with other pages on the RS Wiki - or, should non-breaking spaces be used to create the transcript verbatim? I would be willing to insert the non-breaking spaces... Wynn Andye (talk) 19:29, July 5, 2017 (UTC)

Double space
I left you a message on your talk page regarding the double spacing, but I can't see it listed so perhaps I didn't save it. I was double spacing because I had noticed it done on another Menaphos library book transcript - for some reason I thought it was yours, so I kept going with double spacing for consistency. It turns out it was another editor. This might be a duplicate message regarding this topic...my apologies if it is. Thanks :) Wynn Andye (talk) 14:33, July 4, 2017 (UTC)

Rotten zombie head chathead
According to thr equiped image history of Rotten zombie head, you seems like likely to own the head, could you grab a pic of the chathead if you have it please?

15:17, July 7, 2017 (UTC)

Redlinks
Adding links to chatheads that don't exist is making the template and all pages it is used on show up in Category:Pages with broken file links. I'm not sure how big of an issue this is, but it does make it hard to find pages where file links are broken for reasons like files being moved. I get that it means the files are then automatically used in the navbox when they are uploaded, but its been sometime and the chatheads have still not been taken yet. The NPC pages already have the template that indicates they are missing images. Also Cook has made a cool dpl thingy that can find missing chatheads even without this template so there's not a real need to have a link to indicate that the images are missing. In any case I hope to be taking as many missing images as I can at some point, this is just my reasoning for clearing out the links to images that don't exist yet :) 19:44, July 7, 2017 (UTC)

Bestiary
Hi Salix, I was wondering how I can download a full list of Bestiary creatures with relevant weaknesses, offensive/defensive stats and affinities to an Excel sheet?

Re:Signature
Thank you very much for fixing the timestamp issue within my signature, Salix! I tried to find where the error was, in addition to experimenting with different formats, but often had to go back and retroactively fix my signature where it was used in order to prevent the indentation of the timestamp.

 * I reaffirmed that all of my signature settings are consistent with the conditions articulated within the page which you linked to me. When I sign my signature, I just use the traditional four tildes ( ~ ), but I think that the issue was caused with the additional text I had within my signature - "With the Utmost Sincerity, Respect, and Integrity". I have removed this text and allowed just my signature banner to sign for me - hopefully that solves any issues. :)

Re:Template:Special Attack
Hi there. I think that splitting the template into 3 separate navboxes is a brilliant idea! 10:01, July 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * I find that upsetting and I strongly disagree with the decision. I worked for a long time creating the original template. If simply being in a category is sufficient, then ALL navbox templates are obsolete since they all also are in a category of the same name. 11:08, July 21, 2017 (UTC)

Our Man in the North transcript
Absolutely will change the spelling - that one slipped past me. Thanks for catching that one. I'm finished Our Man in the North quest and finished proofing the transcript now. :) Wynn Andye (talk) 23:42, July 24, 2017 (UTC)

RE:Equipment bonuses on teletabs
I disagree with this. The creation table offers a useful overview that I expect is relevant for many users looking up that particular article, whilst the bonuses table offers little of value bar stating the slot. It's quite an easy decision for me that the creation table has priority over the bonuses in terms of what it offers to the article so it's natural to put it first. To be honest, I only included the bonuses template out of some respect of consistency with other articles, it seemed a bit of a pointless addition to me. The stuff with the headings naturally follows from this: If you have a self-contained template that follows the intro it is reasonable that it might not have it's own heading since it follows from the "general info" subject of the intro. If the template follows something else it clearly needs it's own section to distinguish the content from the previous section. That said, I think there would be no harm in it having a heading all the time since it will consistently act as it's own entity. -- 22:41, August 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * I've explained my reasoning and I will continue as before if the matter arises in future. A template that adds little to an article does not deserve special treatment simply for consistency. -- 22:10, August 14, 2017 (UTC)

Our Man in the North typo
Hi Salix. No it isn't a typo... if I remember correctly it is the exact word used used in the quest, meaning to "sic" someone on you or get someone to act aggressively on your behalf. It is slang. I probably used "sic" as it was the word given in the transcript. Unfortunately, it is also used when editing to denote a grammatical error in the original when transcribing. I have changed it to "Jabari refuses to go honourably and threatens to urge Amascut to retaliate against both you and Het." I think that is better and carries the same meaning.

Re:Ingrid
You're absolutely right, but both her website and her linkedin use the masculine suffix. 07:07, August 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * At the very least her parents are; good odds she was born in Britain though. As far as I know, Ingrid isn't a particularly Slavic name. 10:05, August 14, 2017 (UTC)

Style
Sorry to bother you, but could you please stop using 'players' and 'the/a player' unless absolutely necessary? 'One' or, better yet, the passive voice is much more professional and makes the player cringe/wince less. Merci! 15:39, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and yes I do. Its only virtue over 'the player' is that it doth not make my eyes bleed. :P 20:33, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * The yous are gone but you added many players where passives would've been appropriate... (yes I know that takes a teensy bit longer) 06:54, August 17, 2017 (UTC)

RE:Summoning pouches
Sacred clay items are limited to the minigame and cannot be taken outside, and are covered in Template:Stealing Creation. We do the same thing with separate Dungeoneering templates, and also use a similar rationale as to why we don't include Dagger (class 1) in Template:Main-hand stab weapons, or Platebody (class 1) in Template:Melee bodies.

I think that this should be the same for all sacred clay items, including potions, tools, and pouches. What are your thoughts on this approach?

Slayer master template
Hello, how are you? To avoid a "revert war" I'd like to know, what's the purpose of removing, well us from the template, in the page we are specialists, so I's assume we should be put in the template, unless the template is meant for those that gives assignments? Also how did you get your own image into the wikia on your page? 13:15, August 18, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Stuff
NXT makes no different whatsoever for most NPCs or monsters; in fact it only adds environmental graphical effects that cannot be removed. Therefore it is objectively worse. The Java image already depicts how the subject looks in NXT and is therefore fine (unless obsolete of course); the NXT image depicts how the subject looks in NXT with added LD and stuff, which is bad. I don't know which case you were referring to when you wrote that message, but the point of NPC images is to show how the NPC looks; without any added effects. Uploading an image using NXT just to have a different label when there is no difference or, worse, when it adds an unwanted graphical side effect is the pinnacle of blindly following a policy to the letter when RS:UCS clearly states that one should not do that. But I'm tired of arguing about this, as you'll understand, so I'll refrain from commenting any further. 12:40, August 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, we're supposed to show the NPC model. If there are unavoidable external graphical effects in NXT, and they are absent in Java and the model itself looks exactly the same, it's a no-brainer which to use. If NXT inverted all colours with no option to turn that off or added weird vertical stripes all over the screen (it actually does the latter for me) then we wouldn't be using images suffering from those effects either, would we? As for UCS, I interpret it as "treat each image individually and assess which is best". Tony interprets it as "retake every image Fswe uploads even when it makes zero difference and ignore all of his talk page messages". And trust me, no-one is more tired of it than am I. :P 13:04, August 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * I do not revert his images only because they are NXT; again, I consider each image individually. Take the cave monk for instance, in this case the NXT and Java models are 100% exactly the same. We have, then: a Java image that you might as well call an NXT image because the models are identical; and an NXT image with clipped feet, LD and that is smaller. Pray tell, which would be better? 14:11, August 30, 2017 (UTC)

RE:Template isn't a category

RE:Ales
I assume those are the ales required, but I am trying to gather all of them at the moment as many will not buy on the GE. There are exactly 28 'standard' ales, so I guess they must be the required items. 07:10, August 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe we can trade eachother the ales to complete it. The ones I still need are: Mature cider, Asgarnian ale (m), Mature pigswill, Mature wmb, Dragon bitter (m), Moonlight mead (m) and Axeman's folly. So if you get across any of those let me know :) 07:36, August 31, 2017 (UTC)

The Conversation on Wikia's Videos
My comment on retiring was out of frustration, but not intended to be a "Wikia change now or I'll rage quit" or a "I'm quitting tommorrow". I had intended to wait a few weeks to see if Wikia did listen to feedback from editors/users. For the moment it seems they have. Though looking over my comment on the forum, I can see now that I should have phrased it a little better. --Deltaslug (talk) 23:23, September 6, 2017 (UTC)
