I like your userpage. Christine 00:51, January 4, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for these. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 04:53, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

re:navbox
That's not the kind of thing I would normally have a category for. Since it's more of a maintenance task and is expected to get removed, I think it makes more sense to have a single checklist page to keep track of it, instead of putting that category on every single quest page and needing to go to each one when it's time to remove the category. 18:12, January 7, 2015 (UTC)

RE:T:SkillAchievement reworked
Somehow this doesn't seem quite right.

Re:Locations
Template needn't have locations IMO. Given the depth of the Myreque series, it'd become Template:Mortyania. :P 13:53, January 11, 2015 (UTC)

Quest length
Regarding this: not necessarily. The Quest infobox contains the official information, as present in the game/Jagex wiki; the walkthrough information further down (to my knowledge) contains the actual/proper length and other quest information. At least, that's how it is on all other quest pages. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 15:30, January 11, 2015 (UTC)

Re: File link broken
Just for the record, while RS:DEU states that one should not edit someone else's user page, maintenance edits such as red link fixes are an allowed exception. Granted, asking for permission is of course in no way bad, but I just wanted to let you know. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 05:03, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
I honestly don't particularly care.

Re:
You made a new page instead of just uploading a file. -- 19:41, January 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * If you want a free image editing program (for Windows, Mac and Linux), I recommend downloading GIMP. Just select the eraser tool, then select 'hard edge' in the same window as where you selected the eraser tool, and then reduce the eraser size to 1px by scaling it down with the scale box that says 'Size'. Then zoom in on the image with ctrl+scroll up, and then you should be able to apply transparency on inventory icons.
 * If that doesn't make the background checkered, you need to first select Layer->Transparency->Add Alpha Channel. See User:Spineweilder/Transparency for an image, and see the rest of that page for a full guide on how to apply transparency to larger objects (if you're interested in that at all). For inventory icons, the method I just described should suffice though. 18:25, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * Spine just expanded his transparency guide to include a section about applying transparency to inventory icons. you can read it here. That guide also has pictures for each of the steps, so that's probably easier than the text-based one I posted. I hope you find it helpful! 20:57, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

RE:File link broken
No I don't mind. Red links are a complete exception to asking, as IP83 said.-- 23:20, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Prifddinian templates
They are looking good. I'm glad to see the original Prifddinas navbox split out. A few things I'm unsure about, though: If I think of anything else, I'll drop a note (a bit short on time atm, sorry). IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 05:06, January 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * Adding links to the template pages of other navboxes
 * Linking "NPCs" and "items" in the title of those two navboxes

Replace "RUNEDATE" with the runedate.

I then added "&count=5" to the end for the sprite of 5 seeds.

Rollback
Please do not use the rollback function when you disagree with an edit, a normal undo (+ explaining summary as you're used to) should be used instead. The rollback function is reserved strictly for vandalism. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 05:00, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * From what I can see in the history, 5-x made two edits: one simply editing the article after you did, and the second one being a normal "undo" of your "rollback". I don't see him having used the rollback function. If you using it was by mistake, my apologies for jumping the gun.
 * As for the naming matter, I'm all for consistency in using the same term everywhere. As far as I know, both the voice of Seren icons' tooltips and the elven tasks refer to them as "districts", but I haven't looked at what other parts of the game use. I don't specifically have a preference on which term to use. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 08:56, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Comp. cape reqs
You forgot to add the following comp reqs to your template: So ye
 * Complete Curse of Zaros
 * Complete Camelot knight waves
 * Also, there are only 17 buyable recipes in the Meilyr shop, not 22.

patchnotes
0mg i just aked that in edit summry u a br0 16:02, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * As soon as you made the patch notes, I went in to link it, but you edit conflicted me. So I guess we're even, huh? 16:13, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Kinshra book
Thanks! :) We really enjoyed writing it, despite the internal communication problems. :P Do you like it? 19:46, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Much appreciated! Main credit for the writing goes to Kitty though. By the way, Lord Valzin is a completely new character. 20:30, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Great to hear, that was one of our goals! :D I presume you liked Raddallin too? 21:16, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

RE
Because they've been redlinked since release, almost half a year. It's not helping anyone to have the broken file there, it's clogging up categories and special pages, and the broke link takes pushes the indent in almost a third of the space allotted. When someone finally gets the image, the file can be added back, but that's not going to happen any time soon. Broken files and links are fine for new content, because it helps show what still needs to be done, but this is far from new. It's causing more harm than good. 21:04, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Comp cape
Thanks, but I'm have so few requirements left that I wouldn't bother to use that 22:07, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Tarn
Completing the hard task doesn't need the diary to be taken and read; should you not do that, there is a separate comp req that is triggered when you do so. 22:39, February 4, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Comp Cape Reqs update: Tarn's diary
Awesome, thanks. Also noticed just now that the template lists Bandos' memories as 14 existing when in reality only 13 exist. 00:07, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Your bot and the overall counts of 120s and 200mxp's
I hadn't actually checked before, but it does look like the number of players with 120 in all skills is actually quite low at the moment, so could be done by checking the skill xp levels of the individual players. However, I also noticed that the Bot is not really updating the players will all 99's correctly, because it is just updating it with the number of players with the max total of 2595. I will disable the updating of all the "overall" counts by the Bot as it is getting it wrong anyway.

If you do get something that updates the overall, then maybe you could also update the other skills too, then I can turn off this feature of the Bot altogether. I have not played Runescape for a while (since I briefly got my trimmed completionist, and then gave up trying to get it back again). I am looking for other Bots to take up the roles covered by the AmauriceBot so I can eventually shut it down. Some of the roles have already been picked up by other Bots (and been shut down in AmauriceBot), but some still remain with it. I am willing to provide what information I can in such a transfer. 01:48, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

Master clan cape
Do you know if the master clan cape can change inventory sprites? If so, can you possibly add the others to the item page? Thanks. 13:26, February 10, 2015 (UTC)

RE:Namechanges
I know but meh 14:55, February 10, 2015 (UTC)

Navbox order
In regards to this, so far the general consensus in the forum thread is to base the order not on being chronological, but on how relevant (and specific) the navbox is; as it only plays a tiny part in TWW (a cutscene), the bottom seems to be the most appropriate. That said, I won't turn this into a discussion to change it back. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 13:58, March 8, 2015 (UTC)

Skill mastery
In regards to this, it was removed in this edit; best ask them why. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 13:29, March 14, 2015 (UTC)

Farming cape
Please show only the cape, without wearing the hood like the other cape images. --Jlun2 (talk) 07:36, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, I complained about skin being green and all, but no one cared, so I assume noone would care about wacky hair either. :P --Jlun2 (talk) 09:29, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Seems fine. --Jlun2 (talk) 23:15, March 17, 2015 (UTC)

Hiscorecounts
I noticed you updated the overall count for players with 99's, which is something I'm looking to incorporate into my bot along with the rest of the counts. However, the sheer number of requests I need to make gets into the thousands, so I'm trying to find something quicker. How did you get the number?
 * When you say maxed, what do you mean? Are you looking for the last person with 2574 total level? The problem with that is if someone has 100 dungeoneering and 98 in something else - how can you tell if the player genuinely has all 99s or if they have a total level inflated by dungeoneering?

Quest reward fixes
Thanks for all of those. Clearly I'm losing my concentration as of late... IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 13:06, March 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks again ^^' . That template change doesn't like me. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 13:51, April 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yep, I've decided to stay away from that template now... Thanks, IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 04:29, April 26, 2015 (UTC)

Comp reqs
Thanks for the update, but I'm now keeping the list on a separate private webpage. 16:31, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

RE
If you think it's rude, you're really taking it to personally. Yes, I saw the response. I didn't really care. Approximately 5 people know what the category is, and approximately 2 of them make navboxes. If someone is invested in your project enough to use that silly category, they can easily switch over to the subpage list.

Your list was by no means dynamic. It only changed if someone who made a template actually knew to remove it. The list I created was an exact copy of the category at that time. The list is in your userspace because it was your idea, and it's exactly as much work as removing the category.

Literally the only difference is where the list is stored, and frankly, it should have only been on a subpage from the start. If you don't want to be nonsensically triggered by edits that make sense, then you should not make stupid categories to begin with.

And now that you've gotten a taste of what actual rudeness is, I think you should thank me for preserving the list exactly as it was, instead of just leaving you to create another by hand. You're welcome.

Riblet sums up the issue nicely in the diff I linked in my creation summary. If you don't like it, then oh well. 02:02, May 9, 2015 (UTC)

Comp cape req
Why 'No'? One chapter should be guaranteed every 20th lap. The book should be complete is 160 laps, while you already need 200 laps for the title, thus subsuming the requirement. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 06:59, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Good job!
Thanks, I should actually finish it this time. 18:52, May 29, 2015 (UTC)

WE3 Titles
Hey Salix, what was wrong with the additions that I made to titles?

It's confirmed by Mod Deg that you can't unlock them until the following weeks.

Navboxes and subgroups
When you change the type of a group in a Navbox a subgroup, please place the whole content of that group in the sub-Navbox template; there is a slight styling/padding difference. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 18:38, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

RE
That would be something to talk to onei about. And I know he's currently messing around with these templates and getting them working. For now just wait, and poke him tomorrow if it's still broken. 21:18, June 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's caused by a stale message cache. Trying to figure out how to rebuild it as we speak.

Re: CompCapeReqs Navbox
No problem for the links, though pardon my mis-correction of the Scabarites Notes one.

The navbox look neat, but I am almost-not-at-all aware of all the requirements, so only the icons provide me too little information to figure out what requirement it is meant to represent at times (especially all the various notes/books).

One note on the content, though, isn't "unlocking the port regions" subsumed by the "final story voyage", as it requires 6m miles distance travelled? IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 08:10, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * A name/short description could indeed help, though might work against the idea of having a compact navbox. Only trying will tell? IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 08:26, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Making subnavboxes could make the navbox easier to navigate. The descriptions are looking good. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 09:22, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Not sure whether these are good suggestions or not, but two thoughts of mine:
 * Don't centre the items in a subgroup
 * Remove the verbs and "all" from the descriptions. E.g."Obtain rank 1250+ in Conquest" becomes "Rank 1250+ in Conquest" or "Obtain all Circus clothes" becomes "Circus clothes".
 * IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 11:59, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd say go for it, but I wouldn't go overboard with adding the template everywhere (e.g. add it to player-owned port, but not Player-owned port/Special voyages). Before you do, left-align the "Minigame" subnavbox of the regular comp cape navbox if you could. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 13:27, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
