Help pl0x
Could you please me why this signature is messing up my guest book? (It's the signature right below mine) Thanks, 02:11, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh by the way, when I tried the edit report tool it just redirected me back to the original edit report page without my name typed into the box. 02:13, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * One last thing. Mass rollback no longer works (I don't even see the link anymore) since the links at the top were changed with the addition of avatars. 02:18, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * I tried looking up more people's edit reports and it only worked for you and me. For everyone else it still redirects me to the main editreport.php page. 04:10, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sometimes it works and sometimes it will say it's processing but it never goes past 0% progress. 11:57, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Exchange templates
Hi, I've been going through the Category:Grand Exchange by date updated and updating them all from oldest to newest, and I've noticed a problem with the templates... When no input is supplied for shops or alchemy values, it says N/A, but that's not right! It should say "unknown"... but I don't know how to do that... could you possibly change that so if no value is input it says unknown, and if "No" is input for alchemy values, it says "Cannot be alchemised" (or whatever the proper term is)? The output for the shop section when you input "No" seems fine to me though. Thanks in advance, 04:37, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Will all the changes take effect on other exchange templates, like GEItem? 18:02, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * What does it currently do when no value is input? 18:42, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hm.... a bunch of colums of "unknown" would look pretty bad... but then again it'd be a good motivator to go through and get rid of them.... I say we leave it. Having them blank is a good way to show that there's no data input, but not having it be too disruptive. Another thing though, could you change the "history" link to point to the actual exchange page, in this case Exchange:Dust cloud scroll, instead of just the image? Its not very useful as-is. 21:19, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe the as-of-yet-unnamed column could be named "history", and the links in it could be "view" "edit" and "graph". What do you think of that idea? 03:31, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well the whole thing is exchange really... how about "details"? 05:51, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good, good, now then, take care of this admin request which I have failed at >_> 15:24, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh that crazy Gaz. Never a dull day with him around! 15:32, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

CTI and vandalism
Hey, I just read where you say vandalizing an items price can upset it. Is there any way we can make that price never have happened? Otherwise we can't trust our CTI and that kills the point of it.--Degenret01 18:17, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Auto welcome script
Hi,

I recently added your auto-welcome script to my monaco.js, but it's a bit awkward.

I entered a custom variable (my welcome instead of the normal one), so that it now puts  there, but is puts something else there, as if it says. Could you please help me?

13:45, October 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * I guess I should be a little more patient. Thanks anyway  15:42, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Newsletters
Hey, I saw a thing on QBot's page that it could deliver newsletters and if someone wanted to start a newsletter they should contact you. Well, I decided to make a newsletter.

Errr.. OK. It'll be called the "RuneScape Wikia Game Developing Newsletter" (or RSWGDN for short). I expect 5 or lower people to subscribe. P.S. Do you you know of any web browsers I can use on my PS3 apart from the annoying default one? The default one is what made me have to start a new subject here :/

15:33, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Sorry about my stupid PS3 Web Browser making me make a new section.
 * 2) User:Dosdummy/Newspaper. You'll want the first two links.

Oh well, more new sections for poor Dosdummy. Let's Ask Jeeves about Alt. browsers! 16:34, November 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * K. Err... Try talking to me on RuneScape - I'll be on between 14:40 to 15:30 GMT. My username is Dosdummy. Actually email it to dos72137621@mailinator.com 14:43, November 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * E-mail not recieved. Hmm.. maybe you could send it to theg721@live.com? theg721 is a good friend of mine, i'll bug him to check his email ;) 19:36, November 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * Got it. Though I don't understand this "newspaper". Well, if I know programming I can do this newsletter :) 20:16, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Edit report 2
Me again

According to my edit report, this is one of the pages that I edit most.

But that's not why I'm posting this. The edit report doesn't seem to be updating! It says that my last edit was yesterday, but I have also made edits today. Am I being impatient, or is it something else?

Sorry for posting here all the time,

17:01, November 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay. Thanks  20:03, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

User:Quarenon/templates.js
The templates toolbar seems to appear sporadically after I installed the Auto CVU script. I've tried clearing my cache but it still seems to do that. Could you help? -- 01:33, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, the Quick Preview button seems to be missing. -- 01:34, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Both are still missing. -- 20:27, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Never mind, it works now. -- 20:57, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Templates
This is becoming one of my most edited pages

Somehow, the templates-in-toolbar script doesn't work anymore. Now, I read on your talk that Iiiii I I I had this same problem but that you fixed it because of some error in the script. However, since I have a custom script (User:Oli4burggraa/templates.js) I think my script is now broken. How do I fix it? 16:24, November 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * I tried that yesterday and it didn't work. Now it does. Do you have some power over my .js that I don't or what?  17:00, November 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh okay. I'll never understand .js and .css and all that stuff Thanks anyway   07:41, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Fluffy bunnies
I need help with some fluffy bunnies which aren't behaving as ordered. Gaz has started them off but has seemed to have gotten busy, so I figured I'd spread my annoying amongst other users. The fluffy bunnies are used for citing resources. The initial desired lettuce/fertilizer can be found here (in the collapsable table), and the DNA can all be found here (I haven't changed it while putting it fluffy bunnies). I've also created this page which runs each fluffy bunny through a number of tests to determine that it handles the situation gracefully no matter what bizarre combination of lettuce is provided (it didn't take as much time as it looks!). The links to the fluffy bunnies in question are CiteForum CiteGG CiteDevBlog CiteNews CitePostbag CiteGodLetter. Thanks in advance for any thought you give my precious fluffy bunnies! 17:54, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * He fixed almost all of them, but there are still two problems I see - first with CiteGG, there's an issue when the URL and section title is specified, but not the article title. I've marked the issues in the test page. Also in the Game Guide template, two periods appear in each case. Second issue, with CitePostbag, when a title is specified, but an issue number is not, it says "Postbag - Postbag title"... which is redundant because of the last entry. I have also marked these on the test page. CiteGodLetter has the same issue, but with the names switched around. Other than that they're perfect >_> 23:29, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea sorry Gaz pounced on those problems too  02:59, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Javascript on the wiki
Hi, I was planning to write an algorithm for the mapquest idea, but I'm a bit confused as to how (if?) javascript gets into wiki pages. Looking through the scripts on your user page, it seems that each script must be added to the wiki user's monaco.js. This means that visitors without a wiki account wouldn't be able to use them, and that a user would see each script on every page of the wiki. Have I understood correctly? Is there no way to have a script on a particular page (in this case, a shortest path script on the (eventual) map quest page)? Stewbasic 23:19, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Newsletter
Hi there! I would like a newsletter made for like the updates of the game and important news of the wiki. I have made the supporter's list here and the other list here.

Thanks,

HELP!
I need some help adding a picture to my page on the charictar box thing. thanks, 20:07, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Bot thingy
Hi ! Here is the things that you told me to tell you about:


 * 1) What i want the bot to do: I want it to remove redlinks from pages.
 * 2) Username of bot: Redlinkbot
 * 3) What wiki it will be used on: Erm.... RuneScape News Wiki

If you need more information just tell me.

Cheers,

18:48, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Well, As I am not an administrator on my computer, I cannot download stuff like that. I think you should do it. Sorry if this wastes your time. Thanks,

08:13, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

QBot
May I have the scource code for the version of QBot that runs on the TBO wiki, if you don't mind? 23:36, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Err, how do you go about running it? Just dragging the PHP file to PHP.exe doesn't seem to work. I just want something exactly like the newsletter bot only one that I control, so I can send things to different users who want the QBot messages but not the ones I have planned... What I've done is copied the scource code into a php file, edited just a tad to make it do what I want (like defining a few things that are different) and dragged it to php.exe, but nothing happens, am I doing something wrong? 05:27, November 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * I honestly have no clue what you just said. Nevermind  06:08, November 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * I just wanted a seperate version of QBot, because I wanted to send some things to people like QBot does, but some people might not want these specific messages but want those of QBot, so a different thing would be needed. Does that make sense? 06:17, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

RS:WP Bot?
Hello, Quarenon, I believe that you are working on a bot for the RSWP, as asked by Jack Spiral. I got curious, and I'm wondering what the Bot is to be doing. I could use about any information about what the Bot is made to do. Thanks. -- 02:26, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * I see. Hmm... Well, I noticed something. When I logged in to the thing, the list didn't include the last two people on it, me and Caleb. Isn't this supposed to include them? Also, does that website of your's can use Wikia coding and such? -- 14:38, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, the thing works fine from what I can tell, Cheers! Though I have so many things to do now... -- 16:16, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Test
Hello this is a test of the Qbot messaging system, hopefully this bot will be used to send newsletters.

Template toolbar not working..
The toolbar never seem to work after a few minutes of force-refreshing -.-


 * Nvm it worked lol, just forgot the code

The first good script I ever wrote

Not really, I'm hooked on New Super Mario Bros. Wii and refuse to do anything else :S 11:41, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Sandbox
Can you put a link to the sandbox on MediaWiki:Recentchangestext? I think we should have a good link somewhere, and there isn't one in the sidebar. 06:53, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sleep is for the weak!. But really, I just thought it was weird that the sandbox has no links on any high-traffic pages. Although, it would probably be better on the sidebar, but I don't know where you'd put it. 07:05, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Can you help me?
I have recently made a personal wiki for a school project, and I got the welcome message from Wikia.

I have also edited it (the talk page) myself. I got the "new messages" thingey, but it doesn't go away! It also shows up on other wikis (like this one), but it doesn't go away! I've seen the new message a gazillion times, I've even tried deleting my talk there.

I don't know who to ask, but since you know a lot about wikis and the coding, I thought I'd ask you.

Could you help me? 18:06, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * This errors sometimes occurs, please consult w:Forum:"You have new message" - No, I don't. Tedjuh10 (Talk)


 * Thanks Tedjuh. Never mind, Quarenon  18:11, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Templates
I would like to add Template:Trivia notice to my template dropdown and have it work the same way the test templates work, with the last page viewed being inserted automatically. Can you help me plox? 22:34, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Edit Report and Log Report?
Hi. Could I ask why is the Edit Report is still in BETA? It is a nice tool, and should be made into a public final version. If the tool extracts information from Special:Contributions, could you create another tool to extract information from Special:Log such as number of deletes, moves, protects, etc. 10:05, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Highscores for Calculators
Wikia finally fixed a bug which kept it from being activated and it is now installed. Please see User:Catcrewser/RSHighscores for usage. Currently an older version is running, but the only change between it and 1.0 is removing broken code(which was code for an additional error code). - 23:43, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I could always use memcached if needed, but that depends on Wikia's liking to the idea. What would be a good cache expiration? 5 minutes? - 00:11, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you look at the new version now? I've added caching, trimming, and new response codes that are much more useful(Not found, error, no name, limit reached). - 02:34, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Hey Quarenon! What's the status of this. There seems to be no opposition to your second proposal (no discussion either ) And with the code to remove the Category header, where is that to be added? Cheers, 12:16, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

Newsletter
Hello, Could I please have a newsletter generated which says:

''Hello ! Rswfan would like to wish you a merry christmas and a very happy new year! He hopes to see you more in 2010 and have a nice day!

but not in italics, I just put it like that to show you.

Calc script
>:S

You modified the calc script to notify me that it was installed by default... 3 minutes before the first time I had looked at it in months. I was going to check a jQuery function that you had used. Foiled again! Ah well... anyways, it was kind of lucky, because now I don't have to wait for the next siteNotice to pop up to find out I need to remove it (you may want to update the siteNotice ID so that everyone else knows :P).


 * Yeah, I just found the code by looking through the previous versions. It's good to see something finally working.


 * On an unrelated note, I was in the IRC chat, and someone was being a Zezima-follower. So I told them that one of the wikians was better than Zezima. Of course, he didn't believe me. My reply:

 @stats zezima  @stats amaurice -RuneScript- *** [ ZEZIMA ]: Overall 2,372 | Att 99 | Def 99 | Str 99... -RuneScript- *** [ AMAURICE ]: Overall 2,376 | Att 99 | Def 99 | Str 99...
 * I thought it was rather funny.

User:Stelercus/monaco.js
Hey, Quarenon. I added all of your Scripts to my js file, but they do not appear to be working. I have bypassed my Cache and all that, but I am not totally sure what is wrong. Do you think you can look into it? Thanks, 22:37, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

Most of them are working now, but not all. You are welcome to edit my js file to sort it out. the smile template thing is not working, nor is the auto cvu, among some others. 20:05, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

file
There was something I wanted to ask you: is it possible to automatically, in your templates script, to recognize when 'File' is used and put a colon in front of it? If not, it's okay. 09:31, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

GE Price
I noticed a spell that doesn't have the '''__ Costs __ per cast. With ___ it is ___ coins'''. That stuff. When I edit a page that has it, it shows like "#expr:GEPri" that's all. How would I do that so it's per cast? Thank you =).

Thanks
That's all I needed. Thank you. 21:28, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Edit report bug
Your edit report generator is rather picky when it comes to usernames. For example, it absolutely refuses to generate a report for User:Fruit.Smoothie. It also is adamant that User:2+2=4. Probably is not allowed to have a report. Just thought I'd let ya know.

P.S. (post signature) is it a bad thing that I had a peak of  80 edits in one day, and they were all in the userspace? 114 edits on 10 December, with over 100 in the user talkspace? 10% of my edits are Christmas greetings o_O


 * Yup, I noticed that. Looks good!

Tempaltes Help
Hey Q! Long time no see (sorta)!

I was just wondering a simple thing: is it possible for a template to call a variable from a page that uses a different template?

Ex:

Page 1 uses template 1 which creates a variable1 with the value of 1. Page 2 calls variable1 from page1 and writes it on the page.

If something didn't sound clear, just tell me.

PS: Love your new navigation bar on your page, really cool.

13:53, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, that's pretty cool Quarenon, but infact, it wasn't for that that I was asking.

I was asking because I would like to create a sortable table with all the charm drop percentages, so people would be able to see what would be better for them to kill. The only problem with this is that the charm log is organized in a table with images, is there a way to take the value of a certain cell and add it to the sortable table ?

Sorry if I'm giving you a brain hurt =P.

-- 14:34, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Well Q, I must say, you are awesome =P. Thanks for the help. One small problem though (yes, I know, I'm annoying): not the whole percentage shows, instead of showing for example 65-100% it only shows 100%, any ideas on how to fix that?

Again, sorry if I'm giving you a brain hurt =).

If it's too complicated to be done, don't sweat it, it's not that all important, we just need to wait for the charm logs to be accurate.

00:55, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Well, in that case, it's a bit too complicated, we'll just have to wait for the charm drops to be accurate.

When my page is done, do you think I should put it on the Mainframe and if so, under what name? I was thinking about charm drop table, linked by the charm drop template? What do you think?

Again, thank you for your help.

Hi
Thanks for the welcome message first of all. Secondly I Hope you can clear two things up for me. First I was wondering if I could use any picture for for an avatar or if it was against the image policy 2ndly I was looking at the userboxes and seen a few I wanted to add but I couldn't figure out how get them to line up and I had noticed you had some lined up so I was wondering if you could explain how to. Jim teh Mage 04:00, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks alot, still getting used to editing lol, all the changes I made as an IP were small just like "this is a members object" so even the user boxes are alot different. Anyways thanks again I'll come back if I have any other questions as I'm still going through all the new stuff and policies. Jim teh Mage 04:42, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Edit report
Haider,

I just looked at my edit report, and I saw the new sections you added. I like them, especially the one that shows edit count milestones.

However, I found this: http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/6792/dayofweek.png

How can something be 750%?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, 15:39, December 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem. Maybe you could also make it this way? I find it very interesting that I have made almost 750 edits on mondays but only 425 on wednesdays And the lazy part of me (which is big) doesn't like calculating it with my total edit count and the %.  21:39, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
