Colours
April fools pranks/jokes are supposed to be clever and funny, they shouldn't be annoying and make the site less effective. - Teltic

Can the background/behind-text color be changed back to solid white? It automatically makes your eyes strain to read.

Yeah, there should be an option or something? The Black and red... IT BURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!! PlayerFroob Talk 04:42, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

It's April 2nd in UK now, it should be changed back by NOW. Or I will quit this wiki FOREVER. 13:48, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

well try dark runescape wiki is basically the same but darker all the same stufff so try dark runescape wikiThe Blogger 19:57, June 4, 2010 (UTC) 19:27, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not all the same stuff, this wiki has better material, the dark colours are distracting, and even if you like them, you can easily change your own skin in Special:MyPage/monaco.css. 19:55, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * ok it was my first post im not perfect!!
 * Ha just saying. I hate dark wiki themes; they're impossible to read. 20:04, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Lol what's up with the new pic for the front page?
 * April Fool's joke. Shh. 01:35, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Made me freak out; not LOL. And nobody in the house knew I was awake. Bummer. --Coolnesse 01:46, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

ummm was rs wiki hacked or is that on purpose...its not april fools day everywhere yet lol Wolverine9988 02:04, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter what it is everywhere, because this wiki uses GMT time. 02:05, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

If you don't like it, just disable the custom April Fools skin. That's what I did. 02:06, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

LMAO so funny. I hate when he trips over the server cord :S.


 * Thats so retarded! what's the darn point?

How do u disable or change the skin thingy 05:14, April 2, 2010 (UTC) If you still are seeing the Andrew Gower Wiki try this:


 * Internet Explorer: hold down the Ctrl key and click the Refresh or Reload button, or press Ctrl+F5.
 * Firefox: hold down the Shift key while clicking Reload; alternatively press Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl-Shift-R.
 * Opera users have to clear their caches through Tools→Preferences
 * Konqueror and Safari users can just click the Reload button.
 * Chrome: press Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5

Otherwise you can go to Special:Preferences, and change the skin there. 18:21, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Hah, i had to scroll through /b/ to make sure this wasn't a raid, it seemed a bit much for an admin joke, but well done good sir.-- Baulbi  03:06, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Wiki Pic change?
is it just me, or did someone change the wiki's thumbnail to a picture of andrew gower with retardedly large eyes?

also, in relation to read this now section 47 i think, yes, there are angry mastodons on this wiki. its called a TzTok_Jad and it wil 1 hit you before you pop into existence. Mwuh, Mwuhahee

HTML tidying
Someone should use the code on the main page so that it looks better.

Constituion not listed alphabetically in the sidebar
In the sidebar under Skills then Non-member skills, constituion is listed where hitpoints used to be, but it should be moved between Attack and Cooking. -- 21:41, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Moved. -- 21:43, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Contents
Could an admin arrange the 3 column list in the contents section in alphabetical order? (the 3rd column is kinda messed up) Armeng90 02:04, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could edit RuneScape:Main Page. 02:09, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I edited it, thanks. Armeng90 02:20, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * NeutralDone - Thanks, it has been corrected. 02:24, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Give users the option to personally edit sections on their Main Page
I believe that it may be possible, using, to allow users to edit their Main Page. If a user wanted to edit one of their Main Page sections, they would edit a specific userpage of theirs (i.e. User:Someone/Mainpage-contents-mod). The Main Page would attempt to call up this page whether or not it exists. If it does, it takes the data and uses it to modify the section.

I know that I could code it, but I'm not sure if could be used in this way because the JavaScript is loaded after the wikicode. If it does, however, I would like to modify RS:MP to add this feature, and I would like to add a guide to use it.

Thank you for listening to the worst best thing since sliced bread. 19:59, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Couldn't find the proper place for this...
...but I love the RuneScape Wiki! I've been using it since '08 when I first heard of it. It's helped me with everything RuneScape related that I needed to know. If something didn't help correctly, I'd edit it for the better. All my edits have been in good faith, so if I goofed, don't hold it against me negatively, please xD

Anyway, I just wanted to say that all the editors here are awesome. :D 07:08, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Language flags under header
I was thinking that instead of that column in the sidebar, we could have flags for the different languages, taken from the RuneScape website. It would look something like this:

02:04, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Bad idea, as there are 12 language interwiki links on the page, plus would be impossible, or at least ridiculously difficult to make it auto-update. 02:05, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12 language interwiki links on what page? 02:09, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * On the mainpage, the links there decide what links are shown in the sidebar. Currently

                  02:12, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Where would it be placed?? Still on the sidebar or somewhere on the front page?? You didn't say. 02:11, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Front page. First of all, it isn't that hard to auto-update, if we decide to include every single wiki. Second, here, I've only included wikis that have RuneScape communities in the forums; we can have a "More" link. 02:15, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * The 'include all wikis' is a bad idea, as most of them are junk/spam/empty. Also, the languages sidebar can also appear on any page with an interwiki link, and the links available will be different than the main page. 02:23, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, so, say we only include the above wikis. I don't see a problem with having links to them from the main page; after all, Wikipedia does it. 02:33, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, if we want to include wikis that don't have official RuneScape communities (Taiwanese Mandarin, for example), we can simply make a flag. Added a Taiwanese flag easily, above. 02:50, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Anyway this is the wrong place to discuss this, removing a box and adding flags should be brought to the yg. 02:53, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll add a discussion in the morning; it's getting late here. 03:01, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Disclaimer
The disclaimer down the bottom of the front page no longer applies as we are now officially affiliated with Jagex. I have no idea how it should be changed. 04:56, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, looking at the official guidelines, only Gold/Platinum fansites are official. 11:49, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Memory issues using Chrome?

 * Hello, this is Fruit.Smoothie here, I just wanted to bring this up; I'm not sure if this affects only Google Chrome, but lately while using it, every time I try to access the main page the page would freeze and Chrome would crash either due to memory usage errors or scripts not being handled/loaded correctly. If a programmer or coder could somehow reproduce the problem using Chrome, and fix it if possible, then that would be great, as I'm not sure if it's just me or affecting more users too.
 * Thanks! Fruit.Smoothie 05:13, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know, sorry. I use Chrome, and the wiki works fine for me. I'm not a programmer or coder, though. 12:25, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

"The fountain in the basement of the heroe's guild basement"
That is what appears on the featured image tab of the page. Needs corection. I'd do it myself, but I'm not an admin. 00:14, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * redundant, ain't it? I'll take a look. 00:18, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed it. -- 00:25, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Front page ads...
I'm sorry but I dont know where else to put this. On the front page, I saw two RWT ads, And when I came back several times, They displayed again... I did'nt get a picture because I was unfamiliar with how to upload images on this wiki (I thought you could do it by URL location). Is this a big concern, Or does this happen a lot? 16:22, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sannse is trying to take care of these for us. 16:22, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * May I add there is also WoW adverts, which seem a little um, strange since the two communties are "rivals" 16:26, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * One more thing... There are some pornographic adverts for some game called "Rappelz". People have stooped so low... 20:21, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with Nagai yume, what a useless advert. 17:47, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

WTF?
err... I don't know if this is the same for anyone else, but the entire wiki is completely f*ck'd up. Everything is in the Comic Sans MS font, everything is either on top of another thing or shifted way over to the side (e.g. log in interface was all the way to the left and off the page), the links don't have their "special images." I'm using Firefox on a MacBook, if that helps at all. HeLp! Doom monger6 15:44, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Advertisements?
I've been noticing alot of scam/dishonest runescape advertisements on the mainpage and other pages. Is there any way we could get rid of these?

P.S. I know they're scams because they advertise things like "free party hats" or "100 mil free" Things like that.

Jango122333 17:42, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Also, I've been noticing lots of ads with sound. Really, no. They're really annoying. I'm listening to some cool runescape song, or listening for the sound of a tree falling, and suddenly I hear a vacuum cleaner or something. I really doubt that there were vacuum cleaners in medieval times, but sometimes I can't even see the ad, just hear the sound of it, which is really REALLY aggrivating. Plus, as a little side not, I noticed some video ads (which really slow down my computer) with even another ad at the beginning of it... Doom monger6 14:36, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! Well, I'm quite sure Wikia's doing it's best to filter out these ads. Though that isn't easy. Could you please report any bad ads to Wikia? Please see for Help:Bad advertisements on doing this. 17:44, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * All of the advertisements are bad advertisements because there are so many of them playing at once. One video wouldn't bother most people. 2 videos playing whilst logged into RS tends to slow things down on older machines (like mine). 4 videos playing with sound that overlaps and now it's counterproductive. I imagine many people would be driven away by having to mute 5 different videos every time they click to a new page. --Hairpiece
 * I can see how that could be really annoying. I highly recommend creating an account - it makes almost all of the advertisements disappear. 21:15, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

New skin?
Well, I think it sucks... It's not user-freindly. --
 * The new skin was created by the company that owns this site, Wikia. Unfortunately, those of us working on the wiki itself hate it as well, but we are powerless to remove it. See Forum:Wikia's New Look - Logo, skin, navigation, etc. for complaints discussion on the topic. 20:52, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I changed my skin back to the original (in preferences). Can't stand the new skin. 21:48, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I love it.  23:08, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

New logo PLUX!!!!
I'm sorry, but there were some great submissions of the competition in Summer. I don't know why you kept this 2004 styled one, even for the new layout, and even kept it to the extent to modify its size.

Please, please, make a nicer logo and favicon. It really brings the wiki down. Sorry, but I'm a big graphics enthusiast.

I came up with a few quick, simple ideas. I hope you take this message into account.

Main logo concept (I realise it seems a bit 'dirty', I'll fix it later :p):

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk184/deathskill/RSWTwo-2.png

Favicon concept (I know the 'R' is pixelated, but when a proper 16x16/32x32 version is created there shouldn't be a problem):

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk184/deathskill/favrsw.png

I like the concepts! I'd keep the runes around the logo, but these are pretty good. Possibilities! -- 20:53, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Heart icon still links to Hitpoints
When the heart icon for Constitution shows up on the top of the main page, it links to the Hitpoints article. This redirects to Constitution automatically, but may look better just linking to Constitution.ledzepmtg in most reference frames 04:49, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

 * Look at the black toolbar along the bottom edge of the screen, click Tools, and History should be there. 18:58, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

The poll - Who created the poll? The voting options are vague and misinterpreting. I don't like it, and I don't like it but its better than the old one are essentially the same thing, as well as its good and could be better, and I don't like but its better than the old one are also essentially the same thing. I don't know who writes your polls but they could definitely use some work, there is a lesser desire to vote, when half the voting options are essentially the same thing. A yes, no, a medium, and an I don't really care how it looks, are the only options really needed for a question like that.
 * Agreed. I'm gonna be bold and change it. 20:23, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Automatic Purging of this Page
How is it that this page purges upon refresh? Almost every time the refresh button is pressed, the two and  icons are updated. Can this be explained? 01:19, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * That is likely a function of the templates themselves, which undoubtedly use the function. It will randomly display one of several options which you specify. -- 01:21, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, but even so, this page purges faster than normal. I tried to copy this method for a wiki I'm working on (http://quizzing.wikia.com/wiki/The_ACC_Bible_Quizzing_Wiki), but it takes a very long time for the images to refresh. What's the difference?-- 01:46, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

New Wiki Theme
At first I didn't like the new format of this wiki, but as time goes by I actually don't mine it anymore. Sure, the old one was more efficient, but think about it, now we got a cool map to see where we are( or at least around 1/5 of a map)....but still I'm starting to like the new themeTra93dyTextftwHS House Hold (HS) Tra93dy 06:45, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed... I definitely liked Monaco better, but I don't see why everyone is getting so worked up about Oasis. 13:23, January 30, 2011 (UTC)

Can someone fix this somehow? Btw i'm using a modified monobook-theme if it makes any differences. 22:10, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Estonian RuneScape Wikia link
Hey, could someone add the Estonian RuneScape wikia link in the footer? - http://et.ruun.wikia.com/wiki/Esileht

Behind the Scenes March link
The update for the March behind the scenes link is pointing to the wrong page. It points to Update:Behind_the_Scenes_-_March when it should point to Update:Behind_the_Scenes_-_March_(2011). 20:47, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

Common Trade Index
I'm sure this has been noticed, but it reports "Expression error: Unexpected < operator" multiple times. --Limxzero 05:53, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I never look at the main page, fixed now. That big ugly mess is caused by a single incorrect format edit to a single exchange price. Not a wrong price, just anything wrong with the page itself.--Degenret01 06:22, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

RuneScape Wiki: Supporter of botting?
Just look at the top bar at the main page.
 * If you see any adds like that please send the info about them to Special:Contact. Thanks. 09:33, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Oh yes, pal. i've seen those bot advertisments some days ago. I was like wtf? but well, i hope the admins remove them :P

I love it!!! It's freaking awesome!!!!!

Happy April Fools Day everyone!

Not as good as it could be
ya nice april fools joke kinda annoying couldn't it be a little more original? i mean wowscape is old news and the child melestor photo is just creepy.

-- Sincerly,

Unamused player's every where

DUDE...

This guy went all out. and Thats not a molestor photo, thats goddamn andrew gower. And look at the rest of the page! This guy is my new idol.
 * Yeah I feel like they just stole everything from 4chan... not really original, to be honest.

Who thought up this lame joke? Composite 4

Lolololololololololololololol i cant believe you thought he was a child molestor! cant stop laughing about that dude. XD. 04:28, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Andrew Gower is the best
Quit mocking Andrew. Surely you all know that Andrew Gower is undeniably the most awesome person this planet has ever seen! Definately not Andrew Gowner 08:40, April 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Who said we're mocking him? Hell, he's been user of the month for the last 978 months. 07:43, April 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, even mentioning his holiness Andrew Gower without some sort of honorific is punishable by an infinite ban from the internet.  07:57, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe You'll Get It Right Next Year
That total level limit for editing should be 1950, not 1850. Still just a little too noobish. Nice try though noobs.

P.S. I can't edit the Main Page to make the all-too-necessary change, because I'm not an AAAAAAAAAaaaaadddddmmmmmiiiiiinnnnnn. I guess I'll just go edit the first history of the featured images. Ta-ta! Wish me luck!

Wikia
Why are you still on the Wikia domain and using the atrocious layout they put in place a while back? Each page has a ~200px wide padding with no content. Way to not notice terrible design. 96.21.149.30 21:56, April 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh we noticed. See Forum:Changing hosts. Most people wanted to stay... So here we are. If you have an account, you can use Monobook by changing you preferences. 22:20, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

It's fine.....Honestly
The wiki homepage looks fine to be honest, ok old one was better but things always change right?

On this day?
I was under the impression that the Runescape Wiki is not a crystal ball. If so, why does it say


 * 2011 - Suspected: This is the date that most people suspect the Easter Event will be released. This is just a suspicion; there is no actual proof.

in the On this day... box? -- 13:19, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

Advertisements
Dear Rs wikia team

I know most of you work very hard both here and in the game, and for that I want to thank you all. There is however, one thing which really bugged me when I surfed to the wikia homepage this morning: the advertisement.

I understand this is needed to keep the servers online etc, but don't you feel it's a bit hypocritical that on this wiki which urges honest play and commitment, there is an add to a site where you cann literally BUY an account, items and anything you want? I feel this takes away a large portion of the credibility of the wiki, and i hope some attempt will be made to change this into an add of a different nature (for a different mmorpg, for anything actually but a site which supports and supplies RWT)

Sincerely yours

Anno Nimus.
 * Rest assured, we feel the same way about the advertisements that are displayed on this site. However, we have no control over what advertisements are let through and which aren't. That is all controlled by Wikia, the site that hosts the Rs wiki. You can contact wikia about any bad advertisements via Special:Contact, and that's about it. - 11:16, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Pharos you bet me to that. Yea basically we don't control the ad's but the wikia controllers do. 11:17, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also there's nothing stopping you getting Chrome, Firefox or Opera and installing the Adblock extension for each (NoAds for Opera), and you'll never see any ads again. 15:42, May 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree that ads can be annoying, but considering rswiki is so awsome idc. One thing bugged me though. An ad for buying runescape gold (for real cash...). Seems a bit wierd for a neutral help-site ;)

Tips box
Should say "number of players" rather than "amount of players" --Wralmex 16:50, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Fixed, thanks. 21:54, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Cleanup
The adds which are presented on the wiki within its multiple pages makes firefox crash every time I open a topic that contains them. It is a problem.
 * We can't really control the adverts (if we could, they would be all gone ). Go to http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Bad_advertisements for some info on reporting ads that are bad in some way. Sorry about all this.  07:48, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Very Helpful Site
I find runescape wiki a very helpful site.

For the most part, me too! Hopefully it only gets better and better through time Graahk 14:46, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Urgent: Non-closed tag
Looks like there's an unclosed bold tag somewhere in the side column, turning all text bold, but I couldn't find where it was... Should be fixed if located ASAP, though, as it will format and can potentially break all other content on the page. 02:48, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * No idea, thanks for letting us know. I've notified Suppa chuppa; hopefully he'll fix this up. 03:07, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Fixed. 03:39, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

Mainpage
Originally posted at RuneScape:Administrator requests

Someone be sensible enough to move featured user to the right hand side on the mainpage. It would hardly be a redesign. It just looks silly at the moment. -- 13:54, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I just had a look at this, and when you move featured user to the right column it goes down to about the same point that the featured user template currently goes to in the left column. 09:24, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, the paragraph about the user would get extremely squished, brings back memories of Oasis *shudder* 09:39, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, it doesn't look too bad when the poll results are hidden (which it does by default), and on this day is at the longer end today, but it probably isn't the best solution, particularly since both sides can vary in length depending on content. Didn't think the text looked squished at all though. It might be worth taking the hide option off of the poll results so that it will at least reduce the chasm of space below. Can't see any disadvantage in that. Really, though, We're in need of a new thing to put in the void left by the wikipost. -- 14:46, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * See Forum:Community box  02:29, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Awesome. I like how you back-dated it to make it look like it was there before I posted, when in fact I had checked and it definitely wasn't. -- 19:24, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * P.s/ I still think if that passes poll results should be taken off hidden. -- 19:36, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. Community box has done good enough job, since its been put at the bottom that wouldn't help much. There'll still be a gap from time to time but since the length of both sides is variable that's pretty much unavoidable. -- 23:40, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

this wiki needs some more excitement. we could like just put some more stuff for users to do in it. i am a user/editor, and i get bored a lot on this wiki. I think there should be more for us users to do.

Pop up advertisements?
Every time I visit a new page I'm getting a pop-up advertisement that comes from the bottom left corner... they're really annoying, can't they be removed? Sorry, I don't know where to put this stuff, so I just put it here :S
 * They'll be removed (well, most of them) if you make an account on the wiki, but other than that, we can't do anything :l 22:37, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

On your latest "Did you know" you forgot to add the adrougne cloak as one of the items with a hood that can't be worn.
