Clarification
Could you perhaps clarify what you mean by a general spammer here? Not entirely sure what one is right now. Someone who advertises material? One who sends the same message over and over? Thanks, Smithing (talk | contribs) 18:46, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Portal box
Hi, I noticed very few pages have links to portals on them. In fact, I really only noticed the italic text on the top of the skill pages. I expected an approach more like Wikipedia, having a portal box at the bottom of the page. I see you already have such a template (Template:Portalbox), but it's only used once: where I just placed it on Bronze equipment. I presumed this was how it was meant to be used, and can't help but feel that the usage of italic text at the top of the page is ugly and makes the article quite cramped.

I have access to AWB, want a hand in slapping those portals on other pages? 20:23, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * In fact, looking at what links here, only Template:Portalskillarticle seems to have been used before. That effectively makes half the portals useless. I'd imagine every novice quest would have a portalbox at the bottom linking to the novice quests portal. I'd imagine every piece of armour would have a link to the equipment portal. I'd really hate to see this whole project go to waste, especially after so much effort was put into it. 20:27, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I notice them at the bottom, and figure that if I can notice them, at least a few others of the however many thousand daily viewers we have will too. Not to mention people who are familiar with the concept of portals from Wikipedia would look for them at the bottom as well, since that's the only place Wikipedia slaps on its portals. And for those who don't see them at the bottom, well, it's not hurting them. (On a clarification side note, by bottom I mean above the nav boxes, but below all content text). 18:00, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Incorrectly capitalised file links
Case-insensitive matching for the first letter of page names in MediaWiki is biting my behind, so to speak.

Someone had mentioned it to me on IRC, and it's explained at Forum:RSW image renamer: Tweaks, under Book.PNG. The alternative is to require File: or Image: for a reference to an image in a page, which would avoid problems with File:Partial name.png if Name.png is being renamed, but that has its own drawback if a template invocation uses Name.png without the File: prefix. 04:50, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

BrainBot
Hi there

I had a little question about your bot, BrainBot. I have seen that it's your bot that is responsible for updating the prices in Exchange: pages. I'm a bureaucrat at the Dutch RuneScape wiki and the Exchange: pages there are completely outdated. Since there's no bot at the Dutch wiki, I wanted to ask whether you want to help me to set up your BrainBot at the Dutch RuneScape wiki or not. I don't know whether it is a lot of work or not: I have no experience with bots myself and that's the main reason I'm asking for some help. It's fine with me if you decide not to help me. 13:40, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Mainpage chatmodule
As much as I love Special:Chat, the mainpage doesn't take account of the inescapable fact that it's too wide for the current width of the right column. Seeing as we can't do much about the width (unless Joey knows how to override that specific use somehow) and that the current column is based on the width of the advert, perhaps it would be best to remove it? 00:44, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

RE: GEUpdater
The bot runs whenever RuneScript announces it has detected a GE update. However it doesn't appear to have done that. 15:30, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Rune Beserker shield(c) low quality picture
Okay im sorry for putting low quality picture. Please note that it is a BMP file that I converted itself to JPG file. The question is how can I change a picture's file extension to another one without changing its quality?

Exchange:Nature rune
I noticed that both User:BrainBot and User:TyBot are failing to update the "Exchange:Nature rune" page (history). I wonder if it's because the page uses the "ExchangeItemNat" template rather than the "ExchangeItem" (in order to avoid a template recursion problem when Template:ExcgDefault sets Category:Profitable_Alchemy_Items). 07:36, May 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know if the update is failing, all I can see is that it is failing to do the update (eg. it might not even be trying to update). In fact, looking at User:BrainBots changes, it doesn't look like it has made any exchange updates in the last 10 days. Maybe User:TyBot is getting there first. Anyway, User:TyBot looks like it has updated the "Exchange:Nature rune" page with the last exchange change.  11:49, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, now I understand. I got the impression from the forum discussion that both TyBot and BrainBot would be actively updating. My misunderstanding. NP.  12:12, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

RE:UOTM
Sorry, it was a stupid editing mistake on my behalf.

Welcoming people
The two you just welcomed are suspected sockpuppets of a guy banned from S:C for spamming a rather unsavoury YT link. I'm looking for someone to do a checkuser on them to make sure before permblocking them. 09:07, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Some things about JS
Change Everything from the top to the Account Navigation change to: It appeared to work in Firebug, however it may be a replication issue on your local script. There is no duplication with the above if done through global.js over at Community Central. On another note, don't use so many slashes, it makes it harder for other people to read it. Personally, I'd remove the images as they add a ton of clutter to the toolbar. 06:48, July 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * From what I can tell, 1.19 is messing with how "raw" is being handled locally. Other than that, I don't know. My loops aren't working so I'll need to find another way of limiting one ID per page. 07:38, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Forum:Scan clue guide changes
Thanks. I think I can manage it myself. If not I'll poke Recive (who hasn't been seen since just after they decided to rewrite the thread) or someone who knows more coding than I do. 10:56, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done the merge. The maps are already slightly out-of-date though (due to locations becoming "confirmed" by images) and the idea of labelling a spot as containing a wizard is laughable considering it's not been accurate for either of the elites I've done since that thread was opened. 11:35, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Forum:Human Base Model Update
You said you denied closure because it was open for only one day. When you posted the closure denial, it was September 25th. No one had posted on the thread since September 23rd. It was opened September 22nd. So I see how you said the thread was open for only one day, but since it was opened on the 22nd, and you posted the denial on the 25th, it was acutally open for three days. Maybe you can actually look the thread over again and grant the closure if you now find it appropriate? 20:04, September 25, 2012 (UTC)

Task for Brainbot
So, I was working on clearing out WantedFiles, and I eventually ended up getting to the massive, 4,807 links for the File:Hunter-cape-(t)-inv.png‏. I looked through the bots, found that BrainBot is used specifically to clear WantedFiles. Could you please run the bot through that File? The correct file name should be File:Hunter cape (t).png if needed.

Also, as a side question, is it possible for the bot to get around the spam filter? 02:00, September 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks! 02:53, September 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Great! Damn spam filter. 15:48, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

Didn't mean to GTS just wanted this crap that wasn't actually a real warning gone (at least not one that had any real merit because it was a troll). Funny you should add that just as I was putting it back though. 05:38, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

Green ugliness
The green is hard for me to see on the brown background. Maybe make it a different shade of brown? 17:38, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

 * Why can't we just highlight the space behind the text that's different? The red is impossible to see for me.. 01:24, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Administrator request
I made a request that an admin changes the colour of the poll results bars on the main page. You responded with "Nah" and archived the discussion without further clarification. I would like to understand the reasoning behind your refusal to make the changes I requested.

If it is a matter of requiring further, solid consensus (since the visual "improvement" is, I admit, subjective) I have no qualms with taking the matter further to the Yew Grove -- though I am quite certain that some users will berate me for my lack of "boldness".

 * I think changing:


 * .pollAnswerVotes div {
 * background: #CDCDCD !important; }


 * to:


 * .pollAnswerVotes div {
 * background: #AFA487 !important; }


 * on MediaWiki:Common.css would make the proposed change. (Note I slightly reduced the darkness of the brown.)

Don't edit userpages
Please do not edit other users' userpages on the RuneScape Wiki, as per this policy. If it was your userpage, please log in before editing to avoid uncertainty over whether the edits are what the owner wants. However, a few exceptions can be made. You may edit another user's userpage:


 * ... if you notice anything obviously rule-breaking on a user page (crude photos, messages that may be harmful to someone else or anything that breaks one of Jagex's rules). If you are unsure if the content breaks a rule, contact another user to check it out.
 * ... to clear red links from the wanted pages list.
 * ... if editors are given permission by the author to edit the page. This includes guestbooks and some sandboxes.
 * ... to revert vandalism.

Any other edits may be reverted if we think they may not be the page owner's, and if they appear to be vandalism you may be blocked from editing the RuneScape Wiki. Thank you. Michagogo (talk) 08:06, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

BrainBot
Hey, could you run BrainBot to do a null-edit on ? 443 of them just need the edit to update the link to the image. Thanks! 09:22, November 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, and also to null edit the list of pages here? There's about 166 of them at that one. 09:35, November 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Does your bot change file names like HairyBot does, and currently is doing for the initially 33,657 linked-to image in the WantedFiles? Heh. 00:34, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Thebrains222, Thanks for handling all the files I targeted for merge/move :D 04:37, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Haha, sorry for creating extra work with all the non-categorised pages also :( Just wanted to clear out the beta images category so could be deleted :P

Talk pages and Bots
Could you run BrainBot on all the existing talk pages to add to the top of the pages please? 22:21, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * My guess is that nobody remembers to use it. The way I see it, though, is that after you use the bot to add it to all the talk pages, I'll use DPL that already exists on my sandbox (soon to be on an a different subpage), to add the template to any new talk pages that don't have it. 00:07, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks! 00:19, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay I hate to keep bothering you about this but you could run the bot on the RuneScape talk, File talk, MediaWiki talk, Template talk, Help talk, Category talk, Update talk, Forum talk, Exchange talk, Charm talk, Calculator talk, and Map talk namespaces? I completely forgot about those ones... 16:16, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Steadfast boots
Sorted long before you bothered leaving a message. Regis remembered the existence of S:C and my usual presence in there. In other news, Jagex needs to fix their shit to stop the constant armour value edit wars. 12:10, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * There's a current, known and mod-acknowledged glitch that adds an extra digit, possibly the usually hidden decimal figure, to the end of the armour values in the tooltip. The only way to see the correct value is to use the equipment stats screen, but that requires one to own the item in question, or to know about the glitch so you can adjust downwards. It's causing so many edit wars on popular armour pages, as people don't actually know about this glitch. 12:15, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * That would require IPs to actually be curious about that little black box that pops up and click on it. If it appears at all. Heard it doesn't always. And that last IP went and made an account and asked in S:C about it, so he knows now. 12:38, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Besides, I like my idea of a week's full-protection for "popular" armour pages (i.e. glacor boots, all GWD armours, Dom Tower gloves) better. A couple of Torva pages are already protected like that, coz I got fed up of reverting them last night. Alas I am about to go out, and I'll probably have a heart attack from my dad's driving, so can't do that right now. 12:41, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Found the post clarifying the big, QFC: 15-16-590-64188307 ...

. Asked Coel to put something on the mainpage about it. 12:57, January 18, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Steadfast boots
Yes, we managed to resolve the issue... Turns out I was wrong about the presence of that last digit (which is there due to bug, it appears - thanks to Ansela for clarification) but the bonus value I wanted to add was correct (hence the unnecessary conflict). There's a lot of pages with the armour bonus added in the incorrect format, I'm trying to find and fix those. 13:37, January 18, 2013 (UTC)

hi, i have a problem that i don't know how to fix. i uninstalled a protection program and installed avg free, i resarted my laptop.
