Common.css
Hi, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I've started converting our CSS to LESS which we can compile as necessary (when we want to update it). I realise I never put this through the YG, but given how there's half a dozen users who go near the page I figured it might be a bit pointless. My reasoning for the change are as follows: Let me know of you have any feedback on what I've done so far, even if you hate it :)
 * Allows us to split a 30k byte page into multiple subpages without resorting to @import statements.
 * It gives us access to the LESS standard library, an example of what's available can be found here. The full documentation can be found here.
 * I've added some standard mixins, which give us cross browser support with a fraction of the space. They're documented here if you'd like more information.
 * If it's set up well enough it means we can do theme changes with minimal fuss. Simply update Special:ThemeDesigner, recompile the LESS files and it's all done. No more will we have to find matching colours to match a temporary/new theme.
 * The calc thing is a known bug it turns out, a workaround is . The indentation is a bug in my code, I'll look into fixing it soon-ish.

Global Nav changes
Hi Ryan. I've removed the changes that you made to the Global Navigation. We are not currently allowing any changes to be made to the Global Navigation, per our customization policy. If you have feedback about changes you would like to see then you are of course welcome to share that on the Community Central blog or via Special:Contact. If you have any questions about this, feel free to let me know. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:59, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I posted feedback to both places and got generic responses in return. I don't have faith that Wikia will allow us to allow us to improve the bar for our readers. 18:04, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Gaz. We've said on the blog that we'll be revisiting the design, behavior, and customization options in January. Your feedback is heard and will be considered. There's just not going to be immediate movement on it. I hope that clears things up. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:05, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll believe it when I see it. In the meantime we'll have the entire Christmas period - where people have time off to play RuneScape and thus use the wiki - with the subpar user experience. Cheers. 20:44, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * FWIW, I sent Wikia a screenshot of how goofy their nav with their css looks to me at 1920 in Firefox. I'm so glad I use Monobook (most of the time). -- 02:31, December 11, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry about that; it looked okay to me at the time, but maybe my screen colors are calibrated differently. Is [ this] better? [ Example] -- 07:49, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

a way to take lootbeam pics
If you still want to retake the christmas lootbeam, you can get a lootbeam to appear if you obtain a key token with a full inventory with the auto-redeem setting off. It'll drop to the floor and a lootbeam will appear. --Jlun2 (talk) 06:29, December 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * After 5 January, all keys in DG (even if it appears in starting room) have a lootbeam. So if you need to retake a loot beam, you can use frozen floors. --Jlun2 (talk) 05:16, January 6, 2015 (UTC)

Lucky item images
Assuming someone has the time to go through the ids or find the correct item id, would images taken by using the jagex website be allowed? E.g. http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_rs/4758_obj_sprite.gif?id=33565. That said, I don't have the time for that regardless. Maybe Cook has some way of narrowing down on the right id.

Vic's Store
Would it be an acceptable solution to include the experience table on the page, but make it collapsible, and collapsed by default? The article won't be stretched by nearly as much, but the information would still be in the actual article. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 11:24, April 3, 2015 (UTC)

Prawnbroker
Completing the 14 Prawn Perks is a completionist requirement and completing the Prawn Perks and the additional four is a trim completionist requirement. Could you reword that somehow, "the additional four" is really vague. 10:05, April 7, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Jagex Meeting
I haven't heard anything about the meeting happening yet, so I'm hoping I'm not too late. Either way, sorry for taking so long to reply. There's a few technical things I'd like to get jagex to implement:


 * Add CORS headers to their API (e.g. user hiscores which require a server side request to access currently).
 * An API to access other user information such as quest and/or task completion status. the former requires parsing HTML, the latter doesn't exist. This is mainly useful for calculators such as
 * A (searchable?) GED API that lets me search for new items to build
 * APIs available in JSON (CSV feels really strange to work with, I get the feeling it's not a common API format either).
 * Publicise the formula for calculating experience, see.

In general, anything that means I don't have to parse HTML/other weird formats to get data and makes life easier when making calculators or making new articles for new items. I hear jagex have masses of data on all sorts of events, but so little of it is designed to be accessible.

If there's anything else I'm usually in IRC or Skype and if all else fails you can email (see my userpage) or send me a memoserv message :)


 * Did they explain why they were unwilling to provide more public APIs?


 * On the off chance I can't make it and you get the opportunity to bring up the APIs, perhaps they could look at something like mediawiki's maxlag parameter or providing possible throttle intervals. There's not a lot of use cases for the current data available via the runescape APIs, so I can't imagine asking users to throttle requests would cause much distress.

Syntax hilighting
This is sort-of a problem in most Dialogue pages that refer to the player; the syntax hilighter seems to think anything between &lt; and &gt; is a html tag, and thus awaits a closing tag... One solution is indeed to use "[Player]" instead (my preference), or wrapping them in "&lt;nowiki&gt;" tags... Unless wikia can fix the hilighter? IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 05:06, May 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Eww, no, no spaces immediately following &lt; or preceding &gt;... But if we really want a standard, we'll probably need a YG thread; in general what should be used to indicate 'variables' in a sentence ('player' name in dialogue, a skill name or number in an ingame message, for example at Veteran cape (10 year), ...): &lt;html brackets&gt;, [straight brackets], italics, ...

RE:Lighting detail
Lighting detail gives NPCs, items, ect the colours and stuff of the area they're in, as opposed to the natural colours of the subject. I don't see how having lighting detail on is any improvement, a case could be made for bloom, but unfortunately you need lighting detail on for it to work (there was a time when it didn't, but alas). Thus, images of NPCs, Monsters, Items ect should be taken with it off as per RS:IMG.

Also, since this is about the Astromancer, honestly, him looking like a chibi due to the screen getting a weird fisheye effect at large resolutions was more of an issue than the lighting. 07:53, May 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, but what benefit did lighting detail give besides tinting the Astromancer orange (and making the particle in his hand a little bit brighter)?. Can those even be considered benefits? 14:17, May 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, for things like the TzHaar and TokHaar a case can be made for bloom, I just don't think there was one to be made here. 10:40, May 21, 2015 (UTC)

It seems like you have a way to check what items have been added with a new update. In the last update, was there a new experience lamp added for the Court Cases rework? IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 16:44, May 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * Does the data provided by the API not contain the name, or? I've already completed all Court Cases, and as such cannot earn another lamp to get the proper information. I wonder how Cook found the ids and names at User:Cook Me Plox/Project Lamp. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 16:59, May 27, 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ryan. Ive noticed you edited the adamant or rune dragons page. Im not sure how to edit, but adamant dragons drop hard and elite clue scrolls. Im sure rune drags do as well, and im not sure on the drop rate (got one of each in about 10 kills), but I was wondering if it should be added to the drop table or wait until a droprate is confirmed.

RE: QPMC
Readable? What readable form? There's also no indication that the order used here is gonna be used either. I only reordered it like Mod Manti had so you can compare it quickly and see if there are any requirements missing. Now you have to compare the two lists by searching all the matching reqs. 23:29, August 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * I didn't even notice it was alphabetically. However you didn't only revert that, I also added some extra info at some reqs, alted some links and removed Purple cat as it is not a req. However you re-removed it later anyway and readded Ports, because for some reason when I looked at the forums it wasn't there anymore. And it's true he uses names not in-game, I didn't edit that, did I? I believe it was Amascut indeed who made that list. I don't think either it would have the categories, it's just to group them at their current state indeed. Now I know it's alphabetically, I'll just do some more effort to keep the list up-to-date. Because I am following that thread atm. 00:06, August 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * It prolly will change into the order used on the in-game list once that gets released. For now it can remain to be ordered alphabetically. Maybe we can remove those categories and make the full list ordered alphabetically? 01:20, August 14, 2015 (UTC)

RE: TH nav
All the articles that are not in Category:Treasure Hunter have a navbox that is in Category:Treasure Hunter templates. Although some of those navboxes also contain other stuff, e.g. Template:Christmas2015. But all TH exclusive navboxes (so excluding the aforementioned XMAS2015 navbox and some others) have their own category which is a subcategory within Category:Treasure Hunter, e.g. articles on Template:Celebration of Fire have the Category:Celebration of Fire which has the TH category. I see that this might be problematic for adding Category:Reclaimable from Diango and etc., but I don't see others reasons beyond that to add a navigation tool like a navbox if it doesn't contain the link to the article. And as for the category I've hopefully explained that the articles are still located within the TH category, but through a specific subcategory. 08:58, February 5, 2016 (UTC)

Cache template
Hi, I’ve made Cache that I’m intending to use for pages with information from the cache/APIs. I know you make pages based on these sources so I’m just letting you know as I’m hoping it’s something you’ll want to use. Feel free to alter the wording if necessary as well - I’ve just tried to create something similar to the future template. Thanks, 11:19, June 3, 2016 (UTC)

IDs on new pages
Hey, can you do me a favor and not add item IDs to pages you make from cache info (e.g. gem crown token)? I'm using that field to additionally check whether the page's infobox has been through my script that automatically populates most of the infobox with stuff from the cache and Adventurer's Log, and when the page already has the ID, there's not a good way for me to tell whether the page is missing stuff (like in this example, it's missing the value which would have been taken care of if the script had been used).
