Adding examine info
There are a lot of pages that simply don't have examine information on them. I've created a category (Category:Needs examine added) for pages missing that. The list should get populated soon. If there's a page in there, you can just find it in-game, whether it's an item, monster or character, and simply examine it. Add that to the infobox, and it will automatically get removed from Category:Needs examine added. 21:56, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Isn't there a way we can remove this from some, because for some you simply cannot get the examine. EG: Discontinued NPCs, unreleadses updates. 62.255.192.221 09:33, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I suppose we could add N/A to it.  06:22, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * We could set it so that "no" or "n/a" or any other negative phrases would trigger an "examine not avaliable" message. Though for discontinued NPCs there's always a way to get it, via youtube vids or what have you. 03:20, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Excess space
Remove unneeded space from mainspace articles.

From: RuneScape   is a&amp;nbsp;game.

It requires Java.

To: RuneScape is a game.

It requires Java.

AWB will greatly speed this up. For AWB settings that accomplish this, see User:Evil1888/Settings. 00:09, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Exactly which pages need this space removed? 02:17, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Remove the stub template from non-stub articles
The stub template is on like 4100 articles I think. Most of these are complete articles and don't need this template. Don't just blindly remove it, you need to have judgment to know what is a stub and what isn't. 19:44, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Link to stub-article list here. (Added link for lazy people like me.) Lgm123990 19:32, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Fill in the blanks
Fill in the Dungeoneering pouch image column at Summoning pouches. 14:20, August 14, 2010 (UTC) Done
 * Task has been completed. I'd like to add to this and say just to fix up all of the Dungeoneering Summoning images.  Some of them have shadows, some of them aren't categorized, and some of them just aren't there.   21:00, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Uncategorized files
Go through Special:UncategorizedFiles and...add categories. The easiest one to do is to add Category:Item inventory images. 10:28, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there like a list of the different image categories? 06:47, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * It looks like there are images in the Category:Images that could stand to be properly sub-categorised. 08:40, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Dungeoneering Arrow Articles
Go through all of the dungeoneering arrow articles and either then include the poisoned types and pictures in the article, then create proper redirects with the (p), (p+), and (p++) suffixes, or create new articles for the poisoned versions of the arrows. Lgm432 19:02, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirects completed. 01:33, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Someone still needs to add pics and info though. Lgm123990 16:18, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Adding new drops templates
A large amount Monster pages need the new drop templates to be added. This will be a massive job to tackle, which is why many users need to help. See this and that for more information.

10:44, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Only problem with that is that the rarity is commonly guess work. 11:27, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

See User:Chicken7/Drops for help on this topic. 11:41, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's still usually guess work between uncommon and rare. 11:47, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just remebered if you don't know and it doesn't say put it as uncommon and it can be changed if needed. 09:55, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okey dokey. 10:18, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Some pages will be here 11:37, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

of course one of the sneaky things that game developers do is to change drop rates and such, either in name of 'game balancing' or just to keep the users guessing, which of course keeps interest in the game, just an observation. 08:34, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

This, ofcourse, is NOT true. In the past 2 years, jagex altered the droprate of a monster only ONCE, and that was Tormented Demons. This was done because jagex did not forsee that players would come up with methods as efficient as they are now to kill them. -- joske
 * Not true. I've been slaying for literal years.  It used to be easy to get a whip inside 3 hours, but much harder to kill abby demons.  Now I can go weeks without seeing whips and often times do.  Same with most other slayer monsters, bosses, and anything else with a semi-rare valuable drop.  The more they are killed, the more Jagex lowers the drop rate.  Be better if they solved the root problem and just made things harder to kill.   12:40, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Since this isn't a drop log this shouldn't matter as it will be as easy to change as it was when they were just lists. 10:10, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Capitalization
All of the Stealing Creation items need to have their names in the title, infobox and article changed from "Class" to "class", as that is the correct caps. 11:23, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * In addition, Hardbody needs to be changed to leather body. 11:30, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * That hardbody to leatherbody wasnt an easy one, i kept breaking a table >.< i couldnt figure out what was wrong turned out the center tags somehow moved themselfs to a spot on the tables code that intefeared. Ifixed it and now all the text references say leather body instead of hardbody 01:35, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

New Weakness Categories
There is consensus at Forum:Weakness category to create categories for monsters with each kind of weakness. Because of the scale of this undertaking, it will require volunteer help. Please see the previously mentioned thread for details. 14:08, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do these categories already exist? I wouldn't want to make duplicates. 08:24, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Use the following categories:
 * Category:Weak to stab attacks
 * Category:Weak to slash attacks
 * Category:Weak to crush attacks
 * Category:Weak to magic attacks
 * Category:Weak to ranged attacks
 * Category:Weak to melee (use only if monster is generally weak against melee. Do not add Weak to slash and Weak to melee, it is not necessary)
 * Category:Weak to poisoned weapons

How do I make a link to categories here without putting the page in the cat?

01:44, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

AWB can possibly speed this up. Infobox monster has also been modified to automatically add categories, but it is being very buggy and many pages are not showing in the category, anyone who can fix this or add support for multiple weaknesses should try and fix it. 04:32, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

This project has been finished, thanks to Matthew2602 for doing all monsters lvl 100+ and myself, all monsters lvl 1-100. Hopefully our viewers can make use of this information. P.S. AWB doesn't just possibly speed it up, it makes it heaps faster. 02:15, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * You know, I contacted wikia about fixing the wiki's string limit so that Template:Infobox Monster would give the categories if mentioned in the "weakness=" parameter, so as soon as that is fixed it would be nice if those would be removed from the pages as they will be given automatically. 02:21, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Will the categories duplicate or just remain as is? 03:17, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Scan clue Images
The images displayed for the locations should all be in a similar format such as size, showing map and/or avatar. The page is also exceedingly lengthy, possible expand/contract the Locations.. like you can hide/show the contents table there is the link - scans --Gary4qq 12:22, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Page creation
See User:Cook Me Plox/Sandbox for a list of all the pages that need to be created/split. Lots. 200. Get on it ^^  10:09, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

HasStrategy
All pages with a strategy sub-page need to have the HasStrategy template added to it, per consensus at Forum:Strategy guides. 10:51, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Categorizing pet images
I could use a hand in categorizing every image of pets. Each image in the pet articles should be under Category:Pet images. Additionally, inventory sprites and chatheads should also be placed under Category:Item inventory images and Category:Chat head images, respectively. They should not be under any other category. It would also be nice if you could add descriptions in cases where there are no descriptions or the description is unclear. The format I think it think is best is: "A [color] [growth stage and pet name] [chat head or inventory sprite]. 20:42, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've done all cats and dogs. 03:17, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Aftermath of Page maintenance page
RuneScape:Page maintenance was created along with some other pages as a result of consensus at Forum:Page maintenance page. A few things need to be completed as soon as possible.

Moving discussions
All discussions previously placed on article talk pages need to be moved to their own sub-pages on ATBS and ATBM.
 * Done. 10:45, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Fixing templates
Template:vfd top and possibly Template:vfd bottom need to be modified to remove Category:Requests for deletion after archiving. This is to make RuneScape:Page maintenance run correctly.
 * This must be done manually when archiving, 222. 09:10, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * K 09:14, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. (to a point) 10:45, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Fixing another template
Template:Merge and Template:Split need to be updated to lead to the ATBS/ATBM page as well as a link to the relevant discussion page, WITHOUT PRODUCING A RED LINK.

Get going, 08:31, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * It does that already... 09:12, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is still a red link. I know cos I changed the template myself. 09:14, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Where is this red link? What page? 09:15, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's gone now. There was previously a real red link on the Split template. Is the pale red coloured link meant to be there? 09:21, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's a easy fix. 09:25, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. 10:45, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

More issues have cropped up
and are being fixed by a variety of users, please report any other problems here 10:45, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Potions needing new inventory images
I don't know for sure or the barbarian posions are updated. Please update.
