New Hiscores lite tool
User:Killr833/Tempbox It's a work in progress, but still  17:02, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, is there a way to specify an integer for a param, and if it's not in the range, then it doesn't send anything for it to the template? That's kinda what I need to do, otherwise the -1s are useless  17:21, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm also interested in a bar at the top, like this:
 * {| class="wikitable"

! ! !
 * }
 * Clicking on a different icon would bring up different parts of the form, e.g. clicking on the Overall icon shows Overall fields, and clicking on the Attack icon shows Attack fields. 17:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Surely there's a way to do the bar, similar to the shape links here? 18:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Work on the bar thing plox? Otherwise my tool won't work  21:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, want to play a game of Steel Sentinels? 21:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * News on the bar? 12:12, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, 170 Achievements, 32,450 Orb Points Exactly 10,000 more Points than you.  15:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * By the way, how do I import the RuneScape theme? @import "http://runescape.wikia.com/..."(see here) isn't working. 02:05, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Bug founds.
 * Recent Changes Revert: The links show up on other user's personal setting edits (i.e. the links show up on Noob's edit to User:Noob/monaco.css)
 * Templates in Edit Toolbar: When creating a new section, the subject/header is the name of the template, e.g. No Vandal.
 * Fix plz. 17:03, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Btw, I am Menagerie Master. 04:53, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you help me get a few achievements in Kickabout League? 15:18, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I can do that. Also, I got 3 achievements in one game (Route-One, Grass Roots and Beat Your Maker)  15:34, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Quick runthrough of my vacation to Vancouver:
 * Had ice cream every day.
 * Saw the steam clock thing.
 * Beat this guy. (WOOT! 99% COMPLETION!)
 * Got to (and did not beat) the REAL final boss of Starfy (which I'm not telling you!)
 * Went on a ferry to Victoria (British Columbia). Was lucky enough to see Aaron Gregg performing stupid stuff. Chainsaws included.
 * Went on top of 2 mountains (Whistler and Grouse). So many insects in them mountains.
 * Watched Star Trek on IMAX.
 * It was pretty cool  17:39, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And my mom is giving me around $200 worth for making me go, rofl. Canada is weird... Reese instead of Reese's, Tim Hortons (which is disgusting) instead of Dunkin' Donuts, and other stuff. 18:16, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, do you know if there's a variable for the edit summary, including if it's a minor/bot/new page edit? I'm trying to make a script that needs that. 15:39, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It doesn't actually makes the edits, it identifies summaries for past edits. 16:22, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you ask Wikia to make this? 17:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

A question about programming in general
Hii Quarenon! After seeing your brilliant wikia bots in action, I want to learn more. Could you guide me somewhat with what programming knowledge I need to make my own wiki bots similar to yours? A finger in the direction of where to start would be very welcome. Also, if it isn't asking too much, would you happen to know any tutorials to help me on my way?

I'm expecting the learning to take about 2 or more months at the very least, yay programming!

I'm still an amature programmer. I only know a tiny bit of Actionscript and wikicode (if wikicode counts! Ha ha) But I hope to direct some activity into this area soon. 14:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks heaps fgor your reply Quarenon, your the best :3 22:58, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

the bot
first of all, the wiki in question would be this one.

It needs to be able for me to put in a message that will be sent to all users talk unless they opt out, but they are to be opt in by default.

TehKittyBot
I've finally got a working 100% API based TehKittyBot and I've rewrote it in OOP PHP. Previously it was a hacky procedural style framework and originally was powered by Pywikibot. Currently it is converting Image: to File: on the wiki. The bot works as running from a web server or command line. It even shows diffs. On command line it has support for automatically editing if no answer is given in 5 seconds, the user may hit enter which overrides the wait, the user may put exit as the answer to have the bot exit, and if any input other than pressing enter or entering exit the bot will skip the page. The bot automatically saves its current location, so I do not have to restart the task or manually set the value. The bot creates logs in html or ansi codes as needed and I plan on creating wiki logging system soon. Thanks for creating a good reference bot framework, it is the cleanest and simplest one I've seen. My bot even can email users if needed, although most other abilities haven't yet been written since I like rewrites I'll add in the rest when I do a rewrite soon.

I'd like to welcome you to the e1337BotClub, a group of RS Wikians that create bots for the wiki and IRC. Way late but I forgot about it. Welcome to the http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/6221/e1337botclub.png ! - 01:31, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Toolbox Purge
Could you have User:Quarenon/purge.js add the link onto whichever column in the toolbox has less entries or if they have the same amount of entries, then to the first column? As you know I strongly dislike any sort of shifting onload. - 03:32, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. - 07:10, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Template halp!
Ohai. My current wiki "project" is uploading new versions of old inventory icons that are in .gif format, have the shadowy outline of the item, or other faults on them, and in the process of doing this, I find myself typing things like this:

this often:

READY 10 PRINT "OVER" 20 PRINT "AND OVER" 30 GOTO 20 RUN

I know that my life can be made easier with templates, and I know that such a template would be pretty easy to make, but I have no idea how I make one, so I was wondering if you could help me with that. I would like a template where I could input:

and have it output:

...or equivalent. I'm not picky. I realise I could shave off the "File:" part of the input, but I typically always have File:Lolafilename.png in my clipboard because that's what I'm inserting all over the place! I'd just click they hypothetical dreplace button in my toolbar, press CTRL + V and BAM! DONE! MOVING ON! Don't question me!

Beligerence aside, any assistance you could give would be treated as an inconvenience, but secretly appreciated. 05:23, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * What's the deal with cluttering up my talk page with your nonsense?! 05:39, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Nomination for Adminship
I would be interested in nominating you to receive the sysop rights on the Wiki. Are you okay if I proceed with a nomination? 03:03, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
