Welcome to Runescape Wiki. If you have any questions feel free to ask me or any other user. Also why not check out Runescape:Style to see how articles should be edited. --◙▲╛Whiplash ◙▲╛
 * I've been playing RS longer than you *sticks out tongue* I joined RS when RSC first came out back in 2001. I am a Grandmaster at RS =P 16:59, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * If you're just going to brag, then that's fine in itself. Just don't get out of hand. I do need some help finding the page for the userboxes though. Can you direct me to it? 17:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Try userboxes. There is also a Goal template you might find useful too for your stats goals. 17:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your help. I will have to check them out later, I'm afraid, because the class I am in is about to end. Maybe once I reach my home... 17:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

What happened to the pic of my character on my userpage?
For some reason, I cannot find the picture of my character that I uploaded to go on my userpage. It's currently a broken link, and I haven't found any trace of the file. Has someone overzealously deleted my picture? 02:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Apparently it was deleted because it was unused... you'll need to upload it again. :( 02:40, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, thank you for finding out my problem. 02:36, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: External Links
I talked with Christine and she told me that links to external websites (not runescape) should be deleted. How can we expect the wiki to stand on its own when we tell others to go to other sites for better information? Atlandy 15:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Your sig
Currently, your signature has more than 2 pictures. As per RuneScape:Signatures, signatures should only contain a maximum of 2 pictures. Please downsize your signature. Images are not allowed in Signatures on Wikipedia because they are an unnecessary drain on server resources, and could cause server slowdown. For this same reason, image use must be limited on wikia. Thank you for your cooperation. Christine Talk 18:34, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, if you check the history, I had to add that into the rules, however if you ask any of the "senior" (I guess you could call them) members of the wiki, they'll tell you that it was pretty much an unwritten rule of only 2 images. I still have no idea why it wasn't written though.. Christine Talk 01:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

RE: Audience costume
I do not agree with your idea. Here's why:
 * All the items (within the item type) have the same name. So, technically, they are the same type of costume piece, albeit with differences.  Unless, they are named individually (i.e. Skirt 1/2/3, or Long/Short skirt, etc.), they should be within the same page.
 * See Mystic robes for an example. Here, Mystic robes can be separated into individual items, but are grouped together for convenience sake.
 * As you have already mentioned, there are 3 shirts, 3 leggings/skirts, and 2 shoes. How would you classify them as sets?  2 of the sets would be complete, while a set would be missing a pair of shoes.  This is why the items were not grouped by costume sets.  It is highly probable the items are meant to be mis-matched, and not meant to be part of any set.
 * We do not know the set name, if we are to organise them based on costume sets. Currently, the name given by Jagex is only "Audience costume".  Jagex did not give any details for items within the Audience costume, they just stated that they are "Male and female audience costumes."

Sure. Feel free to add images to the articles, towards the bottom of the article. Just make sure that the images follow our Images and media policy. See below for an example on how to add a gallery to an article:

Gallery
15:22, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: Audience costume gallery
I think the gallery is the best option, since having all images are displayed as thumbnails, rather than full-sized images. I've added description for each image, as this is our policy regarding image description. 00:47, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Re:Witch/Warlock Set Userbox
Sure, I'd be happy to take a look. Can you give me a link to it though? I had a quick look round, but couldn't find it. :-D  04:09, 1 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I'm stumped. I have tried re-uploading the file with an upper case extension (so the file is duplicated at the moment), and including an underscore instead of a space in the link to the file.  I have never known those to make a difference, but being strict was all I could come up with on the face of it.  I even tried uploading the file again, using the upload link provided by the template itself (in place of where the graphic should be).  That didn't work either.
 * The only thing I can suggest now is to wait a while and see if the problem sorts itself out - maybe the system needs to update itself before the graphic "goes live" on the site, though it is usually very quick. Perhaps someone else with better expertise can make more progress, but I will check it again in a day or so.   04:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Circus Costume
Hey nice achievements, I was wondering how I can get major points to get the last costumes. I have 69 Range and Magic and 60 Agility atm. I seen people with lower skills with the Ringmaster Outfit. Can You give me some tips at my talk page? Ty! Kingkill410 17:45, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Santa Hat
Hi BicycleCat! I noticed that you own a Santa hat (I saw that userbox ) Could I borrow it for just a few minutes? What is yer ingame-name? . 17:44, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

RE:Good Point
Of course, don't worry about it. Welcome back by the way, I've noticed that you joined very early on, so again, welcome back! 07:07, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Userboxes
It's been fixed now. The problem with the links was that the images actually ended with ".png" while the links ended with ".PNG" which means that they are two separate images. As such, it didn't link to any existing image. I've corrected the links though.
 * No problem. Glad to be of help.  15:25, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

RE: I've already asked Karlis about this...
Okay sure, I undeleted it, saved to my computer re-deleted it and uploaded to photobucket:

Thanks for your paitence with the multiple vandalism edits on the article Black Heather, the vandal has been taken care of. Thanks 22:14, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

Your signature
Hello,. It has come to my attention you are signing with an untemplated signature. This is against the wiki's signature policy because signature code can make pages quite large as well as interfere with other code on the page. To make a templated signature, first create the page [ Template:Signatures/], then paste your signature code. After the last character of your code, without hitting enter or inserting a line break, add this:

Once you have your code pasted in the template page, go to your preferences, ensure that "Custom Signature" is checked, and paste this into the "Signature" field:

After doing this, typing ~ should result in appearing instead of the entire code for your signature. If you have any problems, please tell me on my talk page and I will be able to help you.

Thanks, 06:32, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * If you wanted, I could help you enclose all your small words in individual boxes, since that seems to be what you were going for. 07:05, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Finished! Does j00 liek? If you want any changes let me know. 07:39, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Image
That part of the policy was repealed in consensus found in this thread. However, it was agreed that a ridiculously distracting or over-the-top costume should still be replaced. I believe the costume in the old scythe image qualifies... The mime mask is pretty silly... I believe that your image is the superior one. Also, if you're considering reverting an image not because its better but to "preserve the dignity" of someone, then that's typically a sign that its a bad idea. We are a wiki, and as such the individual "dignity" doesn't matter in light of the advancement of the whole project. These kinds of actions typically lead to arguments and revert wars, which is never a good thing 06:25, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * There's nothing I can do to stop you, though don't make the outfit too flamboyant 06:41, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Sandy problem
I've deleted the article, though in the future you can just put  or something like that at the top of your page. That way any admin which checks the candidates for speedy deletion can see that you wanted the page deleted. 07:12, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Strange problem with the custom monobook.css template that I normally use...
For your CSS issue, try using this CSS code:

background-color: black !important; }
 * 1) p-search input:focus {

There is CSS code that is overriding the selected background color whenever you click the search box, but I'm not sure what purpose that serves really. --

RE: Problem with the custom theme I'm using...
Rwojy asked me to help again I made all the portlet headers appear the same (green, with left padding) with this CSS:

.portletCollapsible a { padding: 0; }

Random text when editing
Hey, It seems like the Proxy Connection keepalive thing only happens when I'm on Firefox. So I guess I'll just have to edit the wiki with Safari or some other browser. This problem has been happening multiple times and I'm not really sure why. Cook Me Plox 19:44, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Custom Userboxes...
Yep, you can create a subpage that behaves just like any other template, so you can include the contents of that page into another. Just put the userbox code on a page such as User:BicycleCat/Userbox then include it somewhere on your main page with. -- 22:06, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

I posted a message to Stelercus, the main wikipost guy. As for the headers, the custom css overrides the color: #90C040, as it shows up correctly for me. It probably could be changed, but I think it would be difficult to keep it to the talkpage. 23:11, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Blanking your talk page
I don't see anything in violation of RS:DDD when it comes to not having a visible link of my archive on my talk page. Star Find 02:14, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

questions
Well there was no real reason to upload a new version, the current version was fine. So the image can be reverted without any discussion. This is especially true since it was uploaded without any reason provided. So to revert it, first locate the revision you want to use, then click "Revert" to the left of it. After the "Reverted to version blah blah", type your reasoning for reverting. Then save! All done. 02:40, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Applying transparency
Hey, I saw your comment on your Project YourFace page. First of all: welcome! Second of all, it's actually pretty easy. I don't know which programme you use, but I use Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2.


 * 1) First, crop the image. Make sure that the edges are the pixels of the monster (for example) and not the background.
 * 2) Select the eraser. For practice, make sure your image does not have AA (anti-aliasing). The eraser-size should be one and the cover maximum (a hundred for me).
 * 3) Zoom in on a random edge of your focus. If you can see every pixel large, it must be enough.
 * 4) Draw a line around your focus (may take quite some time). Make sure that you cut-off the background-pixels and leave the focus-pixels. This becomes much harder with AA. When finished, save it.
 * 5) When you're done, select the magic wand. Make sure it's on "colour" and the anti-aliasing-box is selected. The tolerance should be 10 and the mode should be "Add (shift)".
 * 6) Click the big pieces of background around your focus with the magic wand (zoom out to 1:1 for this). It doesn't matter if something isn't selected or pieces of the focus are selected.
 * 7) If all large pieces are selected, change the tolerance. For me, 4 works best. Now, if something of the background isn't yet slected, select it with this lower tolerance. Every single pixel must be selected. Don't forgot pieces of ground inside the focus, if there are some. See the scorpion to the right, between his leftern leggies.
 * 8) When the background is selected, zoom in on the edges again and "patrol" to see if every pixels there is selected and if there's nothing of your focus selected. If there is, no worries. Just set the mode on "Remove (ctrl)" and remove those naughty pixels.
 * 9) When you've checked all the edges, zoom out again. Save it.
 * 10) Select the eraser, set the size on something ridiculous like 200. Hover over the entire image. It's a miracle! If you've done it right, the background should be gone now. Save it and close it.
 * 11) Open it again, the magic wand selection should be gone. Select the eraser on size 1 and zoom in, but not like you did in the previous steps. For some reason, there are always some background-pixels not erased. They're usually hard to spot, but try and erase them. When done, save and upload on the wiki.

I hope that helps! Contact me if something's wrong. You should start out with an easy image. 06:44, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Problem with my talk page
Hello. I traced the problem back to invalid HTML being generated by RSWPN, a template that's inserted as part of the RuneScape Wiki Post newsletter. I've cleaned it up a bit and your talk page looks good now. -- 04:01, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Redlink removal
If you had looked at what I removed, you would have seen that I had absolutely nothing to do with the deletion of that template. So figure out what you're talking about before you get mad at me. Secondly. There is an exception to DEU, which is...to clear red links from the wanted pages list. As that template was in the WantedPages section, and it was a red link (which I did not delete), I was allowed to do exactly that. Chessmaster did the exact same thing as I did on May 24th, and you didn't blow up at him. If you had looked at the actual template that I had removed from your page, you would have seen it was deleted by Degenret deleted the userbox nearly a month ago per RS:DFTT. I would appreciate if you could remove that red link, as it will not be restored, and it's cluttering up the Wanted Pages. 19:12, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I kind of let my temper get out of hand. We both said some things that were kind of rude, and I hope we can just forget about this and make peace. Is that okay? 19:34, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, I wasn't exactly nice either  19:49, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Certainly. 19:58, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm warning both of you to deal with this in a civil manner. If something is bothering you, bring it up in a calm and respectful manner. -- 19:20, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
