Rollback without diff
Sometimes, I try to click "Rollback without diff", it will say "Invalid token" or something like that. Anyway to fix this? 22:54, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Pulling Wiki's market prices for a Java program?
So, I want to write a Farming calculator in Java that tells the user xp/hour, profit/loss, and other stuff. The problem is, I can't give the profit/loss if the prices aren't up to date, and I don't want to go in there and modify the code every time prices change. Furthermore, I can't do it all myself; I need a database that is consistenly updated, and RS Wiki is the only site I know of that has that. How would I go about setting the price of each item as whatever Wiki has for it? How would I pull those prices into my program? Furthermore, is it okay by RS Wiki's policies? Thanks.

Hilite
Hi Quarenon, to hilite names on a particular wiki, what needs to be done? Really, only the following has to be added to MediaWiki:Common.css/hilite (where Username stands for the user's username and colornumber stands for the specific color to hilight), right?

Oh, and also the import statement has to be added to MediaWiki:Common.css

Besides those two steps, is there anything else that has to be done?

Thanks, 22:51, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

User Badge
Is there anyway to edit userbadges? I created a page, but it doesn't let me go edit it in source mode. Aalso, is there a user:stormsaw1/editnumber or something like that, that displays my edits, so the userbadge automatically changes?

Thanks

02:58, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

(BTW your auto welcome script is, DA BOMMMMMMB. How in the world do you make stuff like that?)

IRC changes
Hi Quarenon. I've changed how you become an OP on the IRC channel a bit, to conform with how it works for anybody else. Instead of being automatically opped, when you need op, use

"/msg ChanServ OP #wikia-runescape"

to give yourself OP. You can also now alter the topic (not recommended to do frivolously), voice/devoice, and unban. Endasil 17:34, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Java form
Is there anyway to make it a bit more customisable? Like I made one for Calculators/Combat level, but the input fields are large. Also maybe colors, etc. If I'm asking for too much, just poke me, I'll shut up. 22:19, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, would it possible to make parserfunctions like #expr, #var, to be usable as the default value? Like this:

param = level|Wanted Level| |int  02:15, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Protected
Hai cause ur nerd and everything could you help me? I want to put this in the css so it show every time you load a page on the WoL Wiki. Thanks, 22:48, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * So you cant put a template on all pages. Aww thanks anyway. 06:31, March 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * The template has a transparent image on non protected pages that you can't see. 20:52, March 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks anyway! 21:25, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hiscores
My highscores auto update isn't working. I have the data page, Qbot updated it, but it doesn't show up in the template on my userpage. 01:08, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Edit report
Hi Quarenon, your edit report some more, and have noticed a bug. I noticed this when looking at Stelercus's report for his RfA, but it seems to be the case with my report also. I'll use Stelercus as the example. Stelercus's peak edits is said to have been 317 on February 5, 2010. However, if you look at the Total Edits (last 60 days) graph further down the page, you will see that the jump in the graph, which is the 317 edits, occured at around January 17. Since this is quite a big difference from the stated date earlier on the page, something has to be wrong. Thanks, 01:59, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Whenever I try to process mine, I get "Error: Max contribs exceeded". 02:05, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol win -- 02:06, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, I found something else that is wrong with it. I got this page after I was looking up 3i+1's report. I'm not sure if this is relevent, but I did click the "If this page does not automatically update, click here" once. Also, when I went back later to try it, I got the same error. Not even switching browsers works. Thanks, 01:06, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * It appears that I'm getting this same error. Firefox 3.6 + Windows 7. -- 01:40, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Your scripts...
Your scripts are... AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- 21:41, March 17, 2010 (UTC)superplayer08
 * Hmm, Auto CVU doesn't seem to be working for me. It could be the result of all the weird testing of the CVU page Iiii I I I did today. Could you check it out? Oh, yeah, I get this error when I try to use it:

Thanks, 01:05, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. >.> -- 01:12, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Script plawks
Hey do you happen to know of a script that turns those new (ugly) buttons back to the way they were? Also with the search bar. Thanks 22:00, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Two things

1)http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt101/Twigy_tag1/Editreportproblem.png Edit report need fixing.

2)Think you could make a second smiley script cause there are more and the growing amount could do with a script. Thanks 04:33, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yip its working. Thanks. 05:58, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Possible change to your Templates Toolbar script
Hi Quarenon, I have a proposal for the addition of several Charm log templates regarding the methods of updating them and their vandalism. The Yew Grove thread is found here, and it seems to be popular with the people who have voted so far. If this passes, would you be willing to modify your Templates Toolbar script so that it incorporates the new templates? Thanks, 01:54, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if this is a bug of not, but some users with an insane edit count (for example User:SmackBot) give the Max contribs exceeded error when generating an edit report. 02:29, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Great! Also, nice to see that for once, someone other than 3i+1 makes the first post on my talk right after I archive. 00:42, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I like the new graphics design Also, it seems to create reports faster now, which is really nice.  00:44, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Ohai
Unacceptable username needs to be blocked thanks  03:13, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm fast to notice  03:19, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Forum:Image_maintenance_bot
Did you ever make/launch this bot? I'm just trying to close some YG topics down and archive them.--Degenret01 05:59, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * It might be neater and easier to follow if you copied the relevant parts of the discussion regarding 3 and 5 into a new thread, or just used whats said as a summary in a new thread. Then we can focus on that part. I myself start to get lost when there are so many options of what to support and what modifications are made to which part of the proposal. If your not interested in launching the bots then everything else I said is moot . Thanks,--Degenret01 22:32, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Big Q
-- 01:03, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think I'm going to make the executive decision, as the owner of my talk page, to downsize the Big Q to something more readable. 01:16, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * =O For the first time, I got an edit conflict on a welcome notice. You're sure fast. 01:56, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

WWWHHHYYY
Why must it be that every good deed goes unpunished? WWWWHHHHYYYY????

''Translation: Your calculator has broken and I am sad. Very sad indeed.'' 01:15, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yay, thanks  11:03, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you take a look at the  s in the warning part of this page? They don't seem to be working properly. For example, go here. Click submit without changing anything. That is the first table. The number of trips is 4.  Now change the pouches from None to Small. Click submit again. That's the 2nd table. The number of trips remains as 4. The 2nd table should say that the number of trips has not decreased but the amount of runes has increased. It fails to do so. Please check it out, the small fraction of people who use this calculator need your help!  22:20, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

autorefresh checkbox
Is there a way to remove the sitewide box, without removing my own 10-second refresh box? I currently have 2, from when the sitewide .js was messing up in ff. 04:39, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

window.enableAjaxRC == 0 didn't do anything, am I missing something? (yes i did hard-refresh) 05:02, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * It works, thanks! Also that semicolon insertion is interesting, I didn't know about it. 05:15, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Something else, this guy's getting an error on Sacred oil I've never seen/heard of before. I think it has something to do with the ge prices, so I changed it, but I don't really know. 05:22, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I never saw one either, on ff/ie, so I didn't have any ideas except that random span. 05:55, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
It's been awhile. How are you? 05:52, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've been doing pretty well. I've been in New York for the last few days and I'm heading home tomorrow. Back to school and whatnot.  00:29, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Templates toolbar
What happened to it? It got longer and has names instead of the Template name. While it's good in some regards, the enlongation of the toolbox has pushed some boxes on the top toolbar to the next line. =/ Also, it's harder to find the correct template now, that the names are not lined up. Can you help me fix my specific monaco.js so that I still have the older version? Thanks, 15:19, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, never mind. I figured it out. I just copied the entire code from your older version of the script over to my monaco. 15:22, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks! 01:57, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

javascript
I'm planning on learning it, after I get my new hard drive, and you seem to know quite a bit. Is there anything you would recommend? Like books/websites/programs/etc.? 02:14, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Quite a bit more than I expected. Something else, Chicken7 wants the Runescape:Community Portal title hidden. I tried this, copying the use earlier that hides from the main page. It doesn't work, and I'm wondering if it is because the cache hasn't updated, or is there a problem with the actual code? 06:02, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. One last question: is there anyway to get the autorefresh on every page? I know it could be done by putting every page in the list, but there's gotta be a better way. 06:44, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to get it appear on history, as sort of a one-page recent changes. I tried

if (wgAction == 'history') { $(document).ready(preloadAJAXRC); and if (wgAction == 'view','history') { $(document).ready(preloadAJAXRC); , but the first stopped it from working, and the second did nothing. 05:26, March 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * That worked, but now I'm trying to add it to contribs, since it never worked for me in the sitewide script. I added

wgPageName =='Special:Contributions/*' and also without *, but it again, does nothing. 05:47, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Errr, all that happened is it removed the box from almost everything, with the array at the top still working, except, of course, contribs. 04:32, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also trying to view the script on your website just gives a timeout. 04:35, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Jeez, you're like magic. Thanks, it is so much better than watchlist, and it gives me the ability to watch specific people. There are other ideas I have, but imma try to learn some js to try it myself.
 * Yeah, I guess. But the edit report link hasn't been working for some time I believe, I tried about a week ago and couldn't access it, but forgot to mention it to you. 04:57, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, the site works for me now, not sure what went wrong. 03:29, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

RuneScape Wiki Post Newsletter: The Golden Quill Awards!
This automated newsletter message was sent by QBot on 00:41, March 30, 2010 (UTC).

Hiscores
It seems Wikia never deployed my fixes, so I have made a few more changes and would like the code reviewed. It is at User:Catcrewser/RSHighscores, please review it and testing would be nice, but if it is too much trouble to test then don't worry about it. I'll post on the YG to get any bug reports and feature requests, hopefully the never version will handle everything so At leastI can reapply the extension for review by Wikia. - 21:58, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * At least in my testing I have never able to reproduce it keeping the newline in the test version. How about I merge the technical side of the template into the extension, but leave the template to handle constants, which will prevent the need for new versions when skills are added or renamed(we would be in trouble if that happened if Wikia took a while to review)?   ->   Since the expansion code will be in PHP directly(rather than wikitext->php) along with being cached I presume the calls will be much faster, so this is a win-win for Wikia. -  23:44, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I forgot newlines appear as spaces in html. Too long away from coding. Now I'm trying to find the most efficient way to do it and if possible do it lazily as in most cases it will be not needed to handle the whole string, but then how do I continue where I left off? Maybe using a n+1 for first explode limit and keeping the extra as a separate array entry that if no key entry exists for the next n, then that will be exploded the rest of the way and the second explode will be done on first access to the n entry. Or does that seem like too much and would slow it down instead? - 16:14, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Included the changes in v2.0.1, please test. - 03:16, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, apparently PHP warnings are not working on my laptop, but I fixed the issues and added two more error codes(invalid skill, invalid type). I'm going to add notice of intent to YG that unless feedback to not do so immediately I will send to Wikia for review tomorrow and I'll leave the thread open for fixing affecting calcs. - 17:04, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but it is a problem with my install, not that I don't know how to set it. - 02:03, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Periodic countdown timer
Hi, I thought it would be nice to have a timer on the Fish Flingers page counting down to the next game. I implemented it using the existing Template:Countdown, but it requires the page to be rerendered in html (by the wiki) and refreshed (by the user) each game. This could be overcome by having MediaWiki:Common.js deal with periodic timers. They could be useful in other periodic events like penguin and circus resets, and daily events like Bork and Zaff. So, I was wondering whether you'd be willing to replace lines 824-873 in that file with lines 10-71 on this page? (I tried testing this on the wiki by editing my monaco.js, but I think it kept conflicting with the common file). Thanks, Stewbasic 01:16, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll put it on the Fish Flingers page. Stewbasic 22:12, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I haven't had time to add more nodes to it. There are also a couple of things I want to improve, like having a time delay associated with each teleport. I'm not familiar enough with... erm... wiki etiquette to know where such a discussion should be put, do you have any suggestions? Thanks for the link btw. Stewbasic 16:06, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

I need your opinion....
On the wiki I made, I made | this template, and need your judgement on it. 02:28, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Help needs (again)
This appears to be epically failing. Can you find a cure for this terror? By the way, early congratulations on 7,000 edits  16:28, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well that was fixing the center tags. I was talking about all of the expression errors. 14:43, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lazy me, never bothering to check things. 15:38, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Edit report (again)
Apparently I haven't logged on since 1970.  16:49, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

May I impose?
I am looking for an un-involved admin that hasn't taken part in the discussion on Forum:Runescape_model_viewer. I closed it as it appeared there would not be consensus and there was some flaming going on. If I thought consensus was achievable I would have left it open. Anyhow, I saw you haven't taken a stand on it so was hoping you could review whether I closed it too early or not. At least one person wants it re-opened. If this is something you would rather not do, I totally understand. Thanks either way,--Degenret01 04:20, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S. At the top of the thread is a link to basically the same discussion that Azaz had closed just a couple weeks prior.--Degenret01 04:24, April 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for looking it over, I'll let the people know it is back on.--Degenret01 15:31, April 7, 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)

Hiscore addition
Hey, I had an idea and I wanted to know if you, The Great Q, could make it possible. Basically, you hover over any icon on your stats table and it tells you the total exp you have in the corresponding skill. Also, if it does work, could the total exp be updated with the auto update script? 10:08, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * So I don't have to do any thing? 17:23, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Reachin' to the limit
As you can see, at User:Killr833/PokemonCatchRate, if a combobox param has more than 18 choices, it only shows the first 18. Which SSSSSUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKSSSSS, because the Quick Ball that I'm trying to use to catch Raikou won't be listed. I can't use my perfectly arranged calculator, which is somewhat disappointing. Could you remedy this? Take as long as you need. 01:10, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why do you just happen to know EVERYTHING? I saw the first one of those earlier, so, yeah... By the way, I caught my Raikou after let's say 25 individual times I had to track it down, to get its HP to 1 and to through some Quick Balls. Yay me! I also has a suggestion; you should make a script that lets people to only allow certain others to see their things. These things inside a span tag with a certain class will only be shown to some pipe-separated users specified in the title. Anything in the span tag would be noticed by a bot (QBot, perhaps?) and encrypted using a code (A > M, B > 1...) that is generated daily. It would also automatically remove the edit that placed the original message there, so people can't look in the history to find out what it says. Please tell me I didn't leave anything out, and also tell me that none of this is possible and I am extremely crazy? 22:34, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wow, You really are a god . Sorry to bother you again, but can you look at mu monaco.js page the quick preview and smiley toolbar dont work any more. 09:18, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

RuneScape Pathfinder thing
Hey Quarenon. What is the status on this project? It'd be a fantastic tool if we had it, and would attract heaps of users. I'm thinking it may be best to close that thread, and instead move the idea to its own individual WikiGuild. That way discussion can take place between all those who are interested, as the community has already shown their support for the idea. What do you think? Is there a need to yet again get community permission for a WikiGuild? Cheers, 03:46, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Modifying
I have an important suggestion here but I realized something; 's JavaScript doesn't work right with parser functions. Do you know any way to make function as a magic word? 22:27, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

I do not mean to bother you, but...
Will implanting any of your custom scripts slow down browsing on the RSW for me? Just curious, as they are too good to be true! Fruit.Smoothie 02:21, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
