Issues with HTML pull from profile page
I've Used my profile on my previous account for years to power the prices on my calculators, but it has recently started resulting with "Imported content is empty". Is there any reason that the tables aren't working for Html pulls anymore?

If it's something I can fix, is there any way for you to help me get there please. I've researched everything i can think of to fix it.

Thanks for the help Batwingrobes (talk) 19:10, March 13, 2017 (UTC)


 * I can't see anything obviously wrong with the page you're using, assuming it's User:Batwingrobes. Could you explain what you're trying to do it more details, so I can go through it step by step and try to reproduce your issue?

Basically I have my User:Profile set up as a table. For the last 4 years, =Index(ImportHtml(("http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/user:nbates93", "table",1))) has pulled all of the table into a Google spreadsheet once every 24 hrs for me to be able to use it. Suddenly it's saying that the imported contents are empty. I was doing some research and was seeing that maybe it was due to the table not loading before contents are pulled, or maybe it's not an iTable(or something like that).

Sorry if noone here would have any idea, I was moreso contacting to see if a change had been made to the website, or if there was a way I could view a static version of the site so that it could load from there? I'm not very skilled in the wiki side of everything.

Thank you very much Batwingrobes (talk) 14:22, March 13, 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm unaware of any specific changes, but I'd recommend sending in an email to staff via Special:Contact/general for further investigation. I don't believe Wikia explicitly supports such a use case, but they may be able to shed some light on what's happening and suggest a workaround.

Crystal chest drops
Take a look at Grimy torstol. In the "drop sources" section, grimy torstol is listed as being dropped always from crystal chest. This is obviously not true, because crystal chest has a dozen different loot scenarios, only one in which grimy torsol appears (and thus is an guaranteed drop within that loot possibility). This problem appears for other crystal chest drops as well; the drops DPL grabs the rarity from within one of the loot possibilities.

Could someone help change this? Perhaps there's a way to exclude crystal chest loot from appearing in drop source lists entirely? I've been unable to solve this problem myself. Thanks in advance. 17:35, March 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * I looked into this a bit myself, prototyping a template to be used on that page instead, but never pulled the trigger on it. The code could probably be cleaned up a bit if anyone cares to take over the project: User:Heaven Sent/Infobox sandbox — Heaven Sent (talk) 20:32, March 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * Yea this is a bit of a problem. I think the crystal chest page could do with a rework to make more sense. You could do whatever to stop the crystal chest stuff being fed through the DPL but it sort of should be doing that since it's still a source of torstol. Regardless, the rarities on the crystal chest page aren't particularly useful and are mainly to distinguish the few cases where a particular drop table might only give one of a set of items rather than all of them. That doesn't tie back nicely to what one crystal chest loot might spit out at you - it's not very meaningful. "You get a torstol every time, 8% of the time." -- 23:31, March 26, 2017 (UTC)

Hardcore Ironman Mode/Strategies
My problem. There isn't any page for the above section. Hardcore Ironman strategies link from Hardcore Ironman Mode takes you to Ironman Mode/Strategies, which I believe doesn't have the level of attention that's Hardcore deserves. (Plus the Ironman Mode/Strategies don't distinguish between P2P quests and F2P ones). It is a different gaming style and therefore need some its own page. Information about Fishing and Cooling should be paramount. Prayer as well should be emphasised. Some of the information, like Shops and Starting Out could be copied from the Ironman Mode/Strategies. I also think that at the bottom of each quest, an Ironman Mode alternative should be available. Eg, planks can only be obtained in F2P Ironman from the Wildy, the planks being necessary for Dragon Slayer. Level 34 Smithing is required to produce the 90 nails also required for Dragon Slayer. Level 40 Fishing and Cooking is recommended to obtain Lobsters for combat in Dragon Slayer etc. etc. Krytoxx (talk) 23:34, May 3, 2017 (UTC)

Edit rights for Elemental Workshop 3 quick guide
The guide has an excessive amount of steps which are not needed to complete the quest. - Throwaway99949 17:19, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * If you actually register and use a named account, instead of just using an anonymous IP, you can edit once you "auto-confirm," which I think is 10 edits over 3 days. -- 17:29, July 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * Define "Anonymous IP" and "using" a named acount. --Throwaway99949 (talk) 17:37, July 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * You will be able to edit protected articles like that one as soon as you become an  user, which happens automatically when your Wikia account is four days old. As you created your account today, you will need to wait until Monday.  18:31, July 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, looks like the page was made protected as it was a target for vandalism in the past. I've unprotected the page since it's been a significant amount of time since that happened. You will be able to edit the page now. 08:56, July 22, 2017 (UTC)
