Re:Moving issues
It was partly wikia's nub serves, as where you were trying to move the image to needed to be deleted, even though there was nothing on that page. It happens every now and then, that even if the redirect is suppressed, the page stays created but says it doesn't exist. 06:50, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Chat logs
In my rush to get rid of the dangerous links, I took out the whole text, not knowing what else to do. Nex added it back in in a better fashion. No harm's been done, and it won't happen in future. 22:31, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Portalboxes
Can you remove them please? Thanks. 00:48, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. 06:17, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Null
You want the image deleted because you think it's from a private server like the lizardman picture? I'm 99.9% sure that I've seen this picture in an ID list. 02:39, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oi. 03:23, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * In this situation, null refers to any item that has been hidden by Jagex. For example, each stackable item has different IDs for the sprite that shows up when you change the quantity; those items are not supposed to be seen, and Jagex covers them up as null. There are plenty of instances where the null is accessible through everyday gameplay (a quick YouTube search will find some legitimate findings), so this is a glitch image more than anything else. When you access the null in-game, it has a distinct sprite, which looks like a dwarf's head. That's what the image is for. 03:32, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

AWB account
You have it, and are clear to go. 02:40, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Search
Nope, that is certainly not just you. I have been bitching to Wikia for more than a year about how awful Special:Search really is, but it actually seems to have gotten worse. At this point I don't bother with using the wiki search for anything (especially non-mainspace stuff). Google usually does the trick, when it's something like "site:runescape.wikia.com/wiki/User:". However, there are thousands of readers who don't know about that, and use the search anyway--we get about 10,000 dead-end searches every day here. As you've probably seen, I've spent lots of time making redirects for typos and section headers (and lowered the number of dead-end searches), but all of it would be unnecessary if Wikia spent some of their time developing a useful search engine (instead of crappy talk page replacements). 21:47, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Re:
Twigy was in the clan at the start of the month. He then told me to kick him because he didn't plan on returning. He then returned, ruining those plans. Of course, when you're kicked from a clan your xp is reset, so when he rejoined his xp gained was 0. It's just a nuance, but obviously I know he's active, so I didn't bother changing it. 21:55, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Re:SavBot
I apologize for the edits, just testing the flag. And, this bot does have a purpose, and it has nonexistent emergency shutdown links because I haven't yet outfitted it with an AWB. 02:40, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Whoops, misunderstood your message there. I had a problem with creating the talk because somehow, in the frenzy of making all the subpages, I accidentally made one in the mainspace without realizing it. So, that's how it occurred. And, I know what are nonos and what are nononononos, so don't, point them out to me in a condescending manner like that, I'm a bit edgy at the moment, and that seemed kind of... something... to post it like that. I don't know, maybe I'm just being nitpicky. Time for me to go to bed nao ^_^ 02:43, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

 * No, he'll get his sysop tools back once he confirms that his account is secure. We have people who talk to him frequently. He's still around. (I've seen him ingame about two months ago, and he was in the IRC last week, if you want examples of official wiki sites.) 01:06, February 15, 2012 (UTC)

 * The failures to move images during this request arose because you didn't remove the Armadyl ones from your previous request before saving the requests page. The rest went by without a hitch. I'm still monitoring the bot's operation for the test period.  01:45, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

Image mover bot error?
The bot looks at all revisions that it has not seen, and considers every line of the correct format a new request. So when you want to make a new request and it's processing one, then the bot will do it when it is done with the current revision.

In that case, you need to delete the text of the older revisions, add yours, then hit Save. 02:14, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * I mean delete the text of the older requests from the current revision.

Bah
You gave me an edit conflict on the drop script thread. >:( 06:45, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

Lol, riot.
There's a riot on w66... *sigh* 19:12, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I dislike it, since it'll attract 5 year olds to this game that is already accused of being childish.

I like the armour, not the idea of sharing a game with 5-year-olds that are better off with Club Penguin.

19:26, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

I hate this riot. The armour doesn't look too bad, even though it'll make loads of young kids (I mean 7-) join RS...

There is no point of rioting. Just quest, it's good to quest. I say that in the riot, I might be flamed at. Also, why even riot? Yeah, I know people think it's now WoWScape... 20:13, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

Armour glitch page
I'll delete the image if you transfer the information to the appropriate glitch subpage first. 01:29, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Penguin numbering
If people trust me and no one else edits, then there's no problem. But we've actually been there on this page. People add some or delete some. Numbering makes it obvious. Also, as for order, 1-points first, 2-points last, non-quest before quest, Wild as last non-quest, otherwise taken in same order as Team Peng. -- 01:46, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

 * Please don't use summaries like "Oh, god, I did that again?" in move requests ^_^ 07:54, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Move requests

 * This is a follow-up to User talk:Joeytje50, User talk:Joeytje50 and User talk:A proofreader.

I hope you weren't offended by my messages to Joey. It was just so hilarious that thousands of files were being renamed all over the wiki with such a funny message.

And don't take it too hard, we all make mistakes. In this one I forgot to remove the requests from the requests section... after I removed an announcement at the top of the request page. So the bot did them again! 10:36, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Image move bot

 * This is a follow-up to User talk:A proofreader and User talk:Joeytje50, and is cross-posted to User talk:Saftzie. Replies should go to User talk:A proofreader.

Yeah, I said to go ahead with a huge request of 3000 images, but what I didn't expect is so many red links appearing all over the wiki between the moves and the edits to fix the red links. Cook Me Plox alerted me to that.

Saftzie edited a page, fixing the red links, because s/he thought the bot would not follow up. The thing is that it would follow up, though; it will just not edit that page now because it's already fixed.

Currently, the bot does the moves and the edits in two blocks. Perhaps it would be best to interleave moves and edits for a hundred images or so, to get the benefits of both things on the table.
 * You can actually abort a request if it hasn't been processed yet and the bot is already processing something large, by requesting a revision-deletion for your request. If the bot can't read the text, then it can't process it.  10:47, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yus I do read bot summaries, as I stalk Special:Log along with Special:Contributions/newbies and  on IRC, and Special:Log has no bot filter. If there's a bot spamming, I usually don't watch the Log for a while, but when I checked the Log I saw that summary before being able to not watch the log for a while (if you know what I mean ^_^). So yeah that.

Image move request #5353261
Your request was cancelled by clearing the bot's task list.

Some images could not be moved. No references were updated in pages.

11:08, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ohi,
 * I requested that A_proofreader stop running the task you requested. While uppercase PNGs are the bane of the wiki, it was screwing up too many pages for too long to be viable right now. It was about 10% of all the wiki's files, and it would have taken at least 12-15 hours to move all of them and update the files. It was getting to the point where a lot of large pages were unreadable. Proof is going to change his bot so it does moves and reference updates in packs of 100 or so, so you can hopefully re-request that very soon. 11:28, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * I made another request to update references to the files that were moved successfully according to the bot's log. It is here. You can probably find the results at User talk:A proofreader when it's done. I'll now know that 3k image requests screw up the wiki for too long and will edit the code when this reference updating is done. Cheers, 11:34, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Colours of the userpage
Maybe #63FFF7 ? Lighter blue, but probably would still need white text, wouldn't it?

RE: Warning
You cut it out. Someone keeps trying to revert my original image with a lower quality, jagged edges, large file image.
 * Nervermind, sorry. I didn't know what was going on.

What ...er... happened?
I read Barbed bow for a moment... I didn't see any vandalism. Maybe it was sorted out already. Aww, I've been waiting to put a block warning template on somebody's user talk... Me has no responsiblity, methinks though.

19:39, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

^Ohh, the image. Well, if it was in his edit, it's his vandalism. (I actually should put that on his page, not yours- sorry) 19:42, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Great, I was publishing two times- edit conflict. GRRRRR 19:49, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
