User talk:Blaze fire12/Archive 1

RE:Followed pages
Go to your 'Followed pages' page ,hover your mouse a little to the left of the page's link you want removed and you should see a red circle with a white minus sign, click it. That will remove the page. 06:56, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem! 06:59, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Your signature
Hello,. It seems that your signature is improperly set up. According to signature policy, all signatures must make use of the Template:Signatures page or a subpage of your userpage. What you can do:
 * Visit the signature policy page and read the instructions on how to properly set up a signature.
 * I also recommend going back over any talk pages you have signed and replacing the raw signature code after your edits with  (or a subpage of your userpage), in order to reduce each page's space and thus loading time.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. 03:29, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello! 18:28, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Created a signature page at Template:Signatures/Blaze_fire12 and replaced it on the few talk pages it was used. You'll still need to read the policy above to change your signature in preferances. Hi Aj. Henneyj 18:34, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please also fix your signature like explained above. In Special:Preferences, insert the following in the signature input box:

User:Blaze_fire12
 * and check the "Custom Signature" box. That will make appear when you sign. Thanks,  21:52, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

Minor edits
Please mark your edits as minor if you are just adding categories. This prevents flooding the recent changes. You can also turn this on in your preferences. Thanks, 21:22, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Standardizing Generic shops
Yeah, in the case of general store, there's already information on the individual store pages, and the main page should be largely a disambiguation page. However, perhaps the unnoting items section could remain on that "generalization page", as it's a trait of general stores in general (pun intended). 14:25, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

Game Guide links
Instead of replacing them with the crud wiki links, just remove them. For the Update namespace it'd probably be better to just remove them as well. 19:37, May 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * You should template your signature, see RS:SIG. Also... Considering their wiki can be inaccurate now, it might be best to just remove. Just use your best judgement per instance. (: 19:40, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Removing Old Game Guide Citations
If they're used on userpages, feel free to edit the userpage. RS:DEU allows you to edit them for maintenance purposes, so it wouldn't be a violation of policy. 02:43, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Be Careful
Be sure when nowiki-ing links that. For example, what you nowiki-ed is actually still available. Do a quick check to make sure before deleting the link on an archive like that. 21:07, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Again, please be a little more careful. This was easily rectified. 02:05, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Please make sure you're categorizing templates correctly. I noticed that this, this, this and this was incorrect. But thanks for helping! 00:52, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

Wow...
Some impressive work there. Did you change all the potbags/god letters to the correct ones? 02:46, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * You could have a look at Special:WantedFiles and Special:WantedPages if you like doing this sort of stuff. Not many do, especially since WantedFiles became so tedious when the bot started up . 02:56, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * One thing I forgot to mention about Special:WantedFiles - the caching issues. Special:Whatlinkshere/File:Rfd.PNG and Special:Whatlinkshere/File:HAPPY BIRTHDAY.jpg have been blank for some time yet both refuse to come off wanted files. In the case if the happy birthday image, we've restored it and re-deleted it twice, I've had someone with AWB go through every single page checking for conditional use of it (with no results) and still it refuses to come off the list. Conditional use doesn't show up on the list, although anywhere that use is transcluded onto is shown, like with signatures with conditional images.


 * Essentially, if the file refuses to come off Wanted files, ignore it for the moment until we can find someone in staff with a degree of intelligence to fix the issues for us. The file redirects don't help the issue unfortunately  09:50, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Signatures
Hair fixed it. You had the tags close on another line. When making signatures don't have any spaces between the code (I mean the spaces where you press enter <.<) or it'll put your timestamps in a box. (: 04:06, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Because you have to template your signature - re-read RS:SIG. 17:15, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

Your edits
Nice work you've been doing there with your "behind the scenes" maintenance edits. They do go noticed, and you've been hard at work. Have an invisible wikicape (sorry, too procrastinative and lazy to actually make one). On another topic, erm... interesting user masthead box you got there... 06:24, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia is yuck. 06:36, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I mean the masthead. You're a "councilor" (aka: community council)  06:40, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * What's with some of your more recent edits, like this and this? I noticed you undid them all, but why did they occur in the first place? 18:37, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Was wondering the same thing, here and here. 20:04, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Linky
Doesn't matter. Kudos for correcting so many other links! 07:47, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Experimenting
Instead of experimenting with edits on pages like Treasure Trails/Guide/Maps, why don't you make your own sandbox page and use that? 18:05, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hm, there was a bit of confusion with that image the other day. Someone tried to update the screenshot of the actual location, but they replaced the map image on the page instead. So when I went to merge the new file with the old file, I merged with the wrong image (because I assumed the editor had replaced the correct image on the page). The resulting reverts and remerges might have caused the file to turn up on the wanted page. And if you're going to hide the contents of a cell, maybe you should put the <!-- inside of the pipe, so you're left with a blank cell instead of bumping the rest of the row one left. 18:17, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * The treasure trail maps guide again, sorry. 18:23, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Stdsummaries
noinclude does not work with Stdsummaries, so the line you just added has been added to the bottom of the "Browse standard summaries" list. --user452 02:05, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

Categories
When adding categories, make sure you don't insert extra line breaks into the page like you did here. 06:55, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * (And in a lot of other places.) Also, make sure to use a sensible category... this and this are not maintenance, for example. Also, if the page has a /doc subpage, put the categories in there in includeonly tags, not in the template page. 14:02, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've gone through and fixed about 50 of changes you made that affect the formatting on various pages. You need to go back through all of the template edits you made and check for two things:
 * No extra linebreaks or other whitespace have been added between the end of the template code and the beginning of your tag.
 * The category you are adding is the correct category. I think you are misunderstanding what a maintenance template is.
 * Thanks. 16:50, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Re:both your messages: on /doc it should be in includeonly, because the /doc shouldn't be in the category, but the template itself should be. Includeonly makes it just show on the template page. And no, a lot of the templates you edited have this problem. Check my contribs too for example. 17:02, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, any template that is transcluded in the middle of a line has a problem. For example, signature templates are transcluded and then the time stamp is appended. With your edits, it causes the time stamp to appear on a different line. Some other templates, like the Updates/line (or whatever it's called) also had a problem. Some of the worst were Template:!! and Template:Ordinal. 17:03, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay that's nice. Next time please check what the contents of the template are before adding a category, and check what categories are meant for. I found several uses of Category:Image templates for templates with image-related things in the pagename, while they were actually notice templates, for example. Also, maintenance templates are templates like stub, so a lot of pages you added to that category are not actually maintenance templates. 20:44, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

Just wondering, what's the point of edits like this? 06:49, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. 06:51, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, good job. Please don't add Category:Images to images -- that's a parent category only. 06:03, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Check out RS:IMG. tl;dr keep it under 30 seconds and it's okay. 06:31, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Audio uploads
If there were a Wikicape of Soundtracks, you'd have got it now. 06:05, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * If you're levelling skills/combat, you could upload that too. Or voices. Or other jingles, such as FoG or TGOP. =) 06:15, May 16, 2012 (UTC)

Your edits
You know instead of doing this and this you can just purge the page or go to the edit screen and press save without making any wikitext changes? Smithing (talk | contribs) 05:30, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

Pillar of Light
Well please add some links to it on Night-Gazer Khighorahk's page then as I don't think anyone will be searching for the pillar itself. 15:54, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

Minor edits
Hey, mind marking your edits as minor? They flood the recent changes screen otherwise. You can go to Special:Preferences and mark all your edits as automatically minor in there 19:59, May 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * I am aware of that, not really anything can be done about that. But some editors use recent changes with minor edits hidden, mainly to search for possible vandalism  20:08, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

Sandwich Lady vs the People
Stop reverting it! 18:34, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

Do you got any hints that would be useful for me please help me i got like no money and ive juust recently gotten my account back from being hacked so i need to save for my old gear again so do you have any money making ways or training guide the money making guides on this site dont really help me much

Music articles
You removed a bunch of tracks from their articles (seen here). Was that an accident or do they need to be deleted or what..? 05:58, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Wiki Activity page...
Nice spam, brah. 04:30, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Community Portal
Hi, thanks for spotting that. I'd left out the  prefix in the link, it's been fixed now. Cheers, 07:02, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

re:Template time again!
1: done; 2: done; 3: done, and yes, I'll fix those too. 07:48, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Uncategorised pages
I've created a page that contains a current list of all uncategorised pages, files, templates, and categories here, just so you know. Now we don't have to wait a full day to fix any uncategorised pages. :) Smithing (talk | contribs) 20:06, June 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey. Just a note, whenever you see files linked at User:Smithing/Uncat that show no image, it just means that the file page itself does not contain an image, but still exists. It would be best to just tag these file pages for deletion. Also, forgot to note, feel free to edit the User:Smithing/Uncat page to make improvements to it. Happy editing. Smithing (talk | contribs) 20:02, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Wanted Templates
Aah, it's probably one of those formatting templates...I basically took some code and altered it, tbh. Probably Cake would know. 15:26, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

re:MediaWiki is back!
The templates didn't work. They were just put within styles, like example, which didn't make the thing show up as a red link, but it was a broken template. I fixed both (Template:Border to Template:Border-radius, Template:Info size to (as it was intended)). Also the sitenotice was already updated, but the link still showed in the whatlinkshere because of the Wikia cache. I null edited the pages and the link doesn't show up in the whatlinkshere anymore. 10:45, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Re:The Crucible
"The" is not part of the name.

Evidence: Heiman1991 00:38, June 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * The reward interface is called "Crucible Rewards" not "The Crucible Rewards"
 * When you right click the door it reads "Crucible entrance" not "The Crucible entrance"
 * When exiting the crucible the message reads "Exit the Crucible?" not "Exit The Crucible?"
 * Runespan has also been referred to on the RuneScape main page along with on the RSOW as "The Runespan", but we have it simply named "Runespan" on this wiki. - Heiman1991 00:59, June 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I won't do that because Wizard Elriss mentioned Wizard Acantha and Wizard Vief are running the The Great Orb Project, so "The" is part of the name. - Heiman1991 02:57, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

New pages
If you're going to separate pages for the bagged and planted versions of the POH plants, don't call them random names. It's not Bagged Thorny Hedge, the item is still called "Thorny hedge". Disambiguate it or something, but don't make up names. Also, there are a bunch of formatting errors on the articles you made. 08:27, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Ehh
About the undo of your edit on Template:Signatures/Bluefire2/Hofmic - first, the category is not needed, as it is obviously a subpage of my sig (and I will tranclude it onto my sig soon enough). Also, what's with the onlyinclude tags? 03:11, July 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh right. I'll add it back then D: 09:08, July 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Why are you apologising? I'm not annoyed. 13:45, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Template:Random skill1
I fixed the issue with the random skill (I think, weird coding). I tried to fix some of the red links, and I managed to get around one that was blocked by the spam filter by editing the talk page section rather than the entire talk page. Most of the others I couldn't find or I assume they will disappear once wantedfiles is purged. So if you have any other issues with the spam filter, try to edit sections rather than the page. Also send a report to Wikia and tell them it's stupid. ^-^ 01:54, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you :) means alot. I honestly don't know what else to say. I'll leave smartguy words for the mainspace. 06:22, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Welcoming
When welcoming users, could you please check that they're not infinitely blocked first? Easiest way to do this is by clicking the contribs link on the user creation log, instead of the talk link, as the block log will be displayed there.

re:JS problem
Could you try putting those scripts in your /common.js and see if it works then? Other than that, the autowelcome script doesn't work when the user is blocked, so that people won't welcome permanently blocked users. 13:13, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you try putting  at the top of your /wikia.js and then clear your cache and refresh a page, then see if you get a popup box saying "test" when you load the page? 16:34, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay then you can remove it again. I have no idea what the problem could be. It should just work fine, as there is nothing that would break it. I'm sorry, but I can't help you with this. Maybe it is just a problem on Wikia's side, which will probably get fixed soon then. 17:16, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

re:MediaWiki again
There are other admins that know what to do on MediaWiki pages, but I'm fine with you asking me. If I'm not online (usually during UTC nighttime) you can ask either Gaz or Ryan_PM, or just wait for me to come online. Also, for cases like the sitenotice, you should ask an admin to null edit the pages (press edit and press save without changing anything) because that usually fixes it. I can't remove :File:$1 as redlink, so it'll have to stay what it is. 20:14, July 26, 2012 (UTC)

Rag and Bone man images
Why are you removing the Detailed Item Images from the articles of the bones obtained from Rag and Bone Man? The reason better be good. -- 02:32, July 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, good to know :) -- 02:58, July 27, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing my profile page, man :) Eakhor (talk) 17:06, July 29, 2012 (UTC)

Red Links
Hey, I was not aware of that. That should not be creating a red link, as its a variable thats supposed to be defined in my calculator box, which is on the exact same page. If you could fix that without deleting it that would be great. The goal was for the user to chose a number from the drop down then the variable would be defined and produce the correct result. I'm sure i have the idea right (ardougnec value being = 2 would make that shown and the other not,, etc etc.) however the page is not understanding that, and I'm looking around for help. If it would help, make it not a link, just text. Thank you (if you understood any of that),

. 23:12, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Bot task
That's quite the list of files. I'll get BrainBot cracking through the list and I'll message you when its finished. Cheers, 02:51, September 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, in reply to the other question. No one can get around the spam filter. It is one of the most infuriating obstacles that Wikia sticks in the way.
 * All done! I've run through all the pages now. The only ones left are the ones blocked by Wikia's goddamn spam filter.

Links
This is not how you link to a page, unless you're linking to a specific revision. That link format you used is only to be used to link to external pages, e.g. RuneScape news post links. Unfortunately it is the only link format that the Visual Editor uses, which could explain it if that is what you are using.

First off, disable Visual Editor by going to Special:Preferences, clicking on the "Editing" tab, removing the tick from the top box and saving. This will ensure that you are always using the Source Editor.

To make a link in Source Mode is easy. You just need to type pagename. For example cake is cake. To change the link text you use a | after the page name, e.g. cabbage is cabbage. To link to a file without making it into an image, you put a : before file, so File:Cake.png displays as File:Cake.png, and cabbage is cabbage. To link to a specific section on a page, put a # after the page name, and then the section name, using the exact capitalisation and punctuation, e.g. Cake is Cake and cabbage is cabbage.

I know it looks like a lot to remember, but it's pretty simple when you get the hang of it. Thanks for reading this, and I hope you follow this advice. 22:25, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Shop Reworking Project
Thank you for your compliment :) It is great that you can help working on this project :D Please check this page and move the files of the shop images in the region stated in Not started section. 01:06, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

Recent contributions
Just stopped by to say some nice work you've been doing. -- 01:08, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

You and files
I've just had to clean up several files from you that were messed up for whatever reason. One is you forgot to add File:Destiny.ogg to the relevant article, so it was unused. Two is that you added a shop stock image to an article that didn't exist. The file was moved and renamed so I had to figure that out. Pay attention to what you're doing. ( 22:36, October 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Joey tried to fix it and.. Yeah dunno. I guess your best bet would be to save the newest image and upload it under that file name, then tag the last one for deletion. I have no idea why it's like that - you could submit a bug report to Wikia. 19:52, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Wanted files
Please make sure you've tidied up all the file links after moving a file in future (not sure if the above message relates to the same thing). Thanks, 10:58, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

File:Carefree_Crafting_Stall_stock.png
Heya, Blaze fire12. I understand there could have been a bug while trying to move File:Craft_stall.png to File:Carefree_Crafting_Stall_stock.png, but next time, if it happens, could you upload the transed version, which already existed? Thank you 20:17, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Dwarf images
Y U NO USE ANTI-ALIASING?? 21:08, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Shop images
Hi Blaze. I see you are uploading shop images. But, one think, they look fuzzy to me. Can you try and fix that fuzziness? 02:45, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

Your images
I know, the last few posts on your talk page have been about your images. They're not that great. I'm not here to rant about you, I'm here to help some of your image skills improve. You're not that terrible.

1. Use anti-aliasing.

2. Don't use online programs where you click the background to make it transparent. On the armbands you uploaded, and your profile picture of your in-game character, it looks like that's what you did. Follow the exact instructions on Spineweilder's transparency guide. That's what I use. If you don't how how to use transparency properly, it would be better to upload an image without transparency, tag it with the  template, and have someone who knows completely how to do trans do it.

3. Take the image with the correct angle.

If you're confused you can always ask me for clarification on my talk page. 00:48, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

You have a lot of messages on here
You have a lot of "you're doing this wrong" messages on here but I just wanted to let you know that we're all very glad you're helping us out like this. It's truly appreciated (: Just want to help you do it efficiently. Also I came here to point something out again lol. I stalk the UnusedFiles and today there is "Pizza shop.png" which is a shop stock image of Tony's Pizza Bases. How come you uploaded it in a new file? Can you not rename files? 14:18, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Shop Reworking Project
Sorry for replying late, I was been busy in the last week. Anyway, here is my reply of your questions:

Regarding about the images in the shop description, just forget about that no images should be added. I have no idea on what I was thinking at that time :P

For the instances on StoreLineLarge, just leave it alone first, and I will think about that section later.

Anyway, thank you for your work in renaming the pages, it helps me a lot :) -- 09:49, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Template categories
This is very much not the norm, so it's perfectly understandable why you've been doing it. However, with template pages in the format Template:PAGENAME/preload can you not add a category to them? Similarly with Template:Stdpreloads. In the case of the former, they're under the purview of Forum:Template preloads. In short, when the preload subpage is loaded, the category loads with it and an unsuspecting editor would find themselves with an incorrect category on an article. In the case of Stdpreloads it increases the width of the dropdown menu (from what I can tell) and the dropdown arrow disappears of the edge of the column in Oasis (probably not in Monobook, I haven't tested it).

On an unrelated note, would you consider letting me nominate you for user of the month next month? It's a little late for it to gain any momentum this month, but you do an extraordinary amount of behind the scenes work and you definitely deserve it
 * Unless I can get someone like Joey or Ryan to find a way of categorising them without it showing up after loading the template, nothing. Seeing them on a special page is less concerning than having all sorts of odd categories appear on mainspace page in my mind. I'm sure we could turn a blind eye to 50ish templates appearing there. I don't think it causes any unwanted strain on servers (the code was written by a current member of wikia staff) like double redirects or cross-wiki template transclusion so we should be fine.
 * That list owrks on DPl so I should be able to utilise notitle (I think it's that) to remove those template from that list. If it comes down to it, I can list them manually, but hopefully I can get it to not display any preload subpages. -goes off to test-

Greengrocer location image
This is the correct format for NPC maps. Why did you replace it? Just to zoom in? But that didn't really help because the image is so big that it appears small on the page. Fix your image or remove it please. Also, why did you remove the image of the Lumbridge dining room from the 2011 Christmas event page? Don't just remove things from articles@@ Give a reason and tag it for deletion or something. If any of these were also removed from mainspace by you, please fix them. 14:13, October 31, 2012 (UTC)
