Page templates
Your page templates are pretty cool, but they're missing something that I always find useful when uniforming pages en masse: MAGIC WORDS :D. I think you should really check out this page and maybe one day you'll be ready for even more intense mediawiki stuff :P. 17:05, November 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Mainly less typing. Like instead of renaming each node, you could do  which would paste the page's name for you (the node's name) and for the few cases where the page's name has the disambiguation parenthetical. You really don't have to use them if you don't want them, but they're fun and helpful so I thought I'd make you aware if you weren't already.  17:16, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

Template Documentation Policy
Forum:Template Documentation Policy is now closed with consensus to require templates to be documented. The template documentation policy may need a bit of finalisation, and you (or any editor, but I say you because you created the forum thread ) may start a project to document existing templates on the wiki.

You may also want to collaborate with Cåm to complete the policy's text regarding template preloads, with which I am not very familiar. 10:10, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Were the documentation templates categorised in the past? And if so, in which category?
 * It's possible, but DPL is not my strong point. If you'd like, I can read the DPL documentation and cook up something, but that's mainly Cook's and Mol's strong point. 20:12, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

namespace = Template nottitlematch = %/doc|%/Doc|%/preload|%/Preload notuses = Template:Navbox format = , count = 100 offset = 0
 * It can only do 100 at a time due to #ifexist's limitations. Having more than 100 on a single page will cause everything past 100 to just return negative. So when you're done with a particular century, just change the offset parameter appropriately. 20:20, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * As you can see, I am constantly tweaking this :x if you want anything added for yourself, just ask. 20:30, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also... I'm the reason everything got fucked over with categorisation ;_; but dun worry. I feexed it. 22:53, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Adding something to ignore preloads since there's no way to document them without messing them up. :P 23:19, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * I was just running a minitask of replacing includeonly tags with the Mainonly template and wasn't thinking straight. Lol. 19:38, November 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay... So three things:
 * Don't change the count of the DPL, just the offset :P leave it as count = 100
 * I kinda messed up the DPL myself so I've gone and changed it just now to keep it from being too expensive but...
 * And I feel kinda stupid... there's a better way to get this done... And it lets you ignore the second point made... Change your DPL to this:

ignorecase = true namespace = Template notuses = Template:Documentation|Template:Navbox nottitlematch = %/preload format = ,\n,#%PAGE%. . . . .[ %PAGE%/doc ] offset = 0
 * Anyways, with that you can get the maximum of 500 pages (or less if you'd like to change that with count) and can even let you fetch every page by having two consecutive DPLs, one with an offset of 500 and one with no offset. It will also return every template that isn't documented the way that it should be. Anyways, hope this makes it easier for ya :P
 * P.S. I may end up documenting some templates myself 21:35, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

Dragon javelin/throwing knife
I'm not one to doubt the concept art, but what is the source of the art?
 * [ Found the source in his contribs]. I'll cite it properly when I get a chance tomorrow. Someone seems to have removed it from the leaks page though, due to it being from a eoc video. The reverter claimed they are out in beta. However, Beta:Dragon javelin and Beta:dragon throwing knife do not exist. Seems like a fairly obvious thing to miss. I think I need to actually watch this video.

(Second set of 100 done!)
Have you not looked at the second, far superior code that I've given you for DPL D:. 04:03, November 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * yayface. This one also finds any that are not documented...umm.... properly.......04:10, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

I'm actually working on something with that... Almost got it perfected... 22:30, November 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Update - I think I finally got it! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT. Added quite a bit more code than I actually wanted to... But that doesn't matter because I still managed to shave off 16.4k bytes :D. Hopefully there are no problems, but if you do see any, tell me ASAP. 23:24, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Bot
Finished it last night. You're lucky I even read that request as I am not supposed to be around until the 21st, per the notice on my talk page. I only just happened to check the wiki on the off chance something important popped up. 02:32, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry I couldn't get back to you on time, but I've returned now if you need null editing again in the future. 00:26, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I usually set up AWB to work through all the files if you give me an old name, new name, and a list. I'm guessing you want someone to split up the work so it can get through them faster? 04:08, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

Wanted pages
HOLYCRAP! Wow, they'll be empty by the time we've finished the EoC move (because the Beta template will be of no use anymore). Wow... That's the ego boost I needed. 16:44, November 18, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Newpage preloads
The template preload script (as opposed to MediaWiki:NewArticleText) loads templates from a preload subpage. If it's not a preload subpage it won't load, no matter how hard you try.

The templates seen when creating new pages do have merit though. I wanted to keep the  preload for update pages based on how useful it is when creating the page. I can never remember the categories that are meant to be used :|

Whilst the old preloads are indeed outdated, they have some bonuses and I wonder if it's worth revamping them or merging their good ideas with the new preloads. Template:Newpage equipment for instance is an excellent idea, and I'd like to do something for quest pages too. However, the likelihood that an editor with knowledge of the preloads creating the pages is somewhat low given anyone can edit, so NewArticleText is likely to be missed.

I'm considering whether to add this to the standard preload list or create a new list specifically for page preloads below, maybe replacing the custom preload box, which was just added because it came with the script rather than I thought it might be widely used.

Welcome to the top
You're one of us, now. 20:34, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Wait a minute...
Are you sure the userbox templates need documentation? I mean, maybe you could make all of them point to the same documentation page for userboxes? Something like  on all the userbox pages, explaining that a userbox is placed between Userboxes and Userboxesend, and pointing to RuneScape:Userboxes. 21:20, November 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've just edited Template:Documentation to remove red links in the case of Template:Userbox/doc which is not always just used on its parent page (Template:Userbox). Now, with an explicit page name, it correctly states that it's transcluded from That page/doc. 23:13, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Very nice ;)
I want to say, nice work on the new userboxes. I'm liking the new look and design of the new userboxes and templates. Everything now has a clean crisp look to it. Doesn't look like the old school html/css st00f we used years back :P 03:31, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Beta:
Don't bother updating the image links on those pages. They're being deleted soon. 17:01, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

Skill Mastery is not a skill or ability for F2P
Hey all the level up table pages list Skill Mastery as an F2P unlockable, when it actually doesn't do ANYTHING for F2P players. I think they should all be changed to P2P unlockables, and also link to the skills cape page e.g. They should all be P2P and say: Skill Mastery; ability to wear Cape of Accomplishment. Yes/no?Nocturnalforever (talk) 20:05, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * You still master the skill, whether or not you get anything from it. Yes, the capes are members only, but the mastery is still there. 20:08, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Red links
Totally rushed under with work in real life. Will fix it ASAP soon as I have enough time available to. (Sent from mobile)

20:17, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Preload Redlinks
I just redirected it to RuneScape:No page. It's more of a problem with the infobox, but not one that's going to be easily fixed. Not forgetting I hate editing templates with any real complexity unless it's properly broken (excluding the ones I write) as they tend to be a little tedious.

this
Why? What is the point of the userbox template's information on that template? It's way more useful to have the actual info there, so people can find what they are looking for. Are there any other templates you've done this for? 12:14, December 5, 2012 (UTC)

Maintenance on beta pages

Signature
I'm seeing a subst'd signature of yours on Forum:The passphrase. Could you check your signature preference are set up correctly? It should read  or something similar depending what page you use for your sig, as well as the usual #ifexist stuff.

RE: o_o or whatever
What was your cloak? I recently switched the script over to another system possibly losing some contents with the transfer. If you `tell me the cloak or leave me a message I can add it back soon as possible. It's unfortunate that your cloak was one of the ones lost, but I think others are gone too so it's not just you! Sorry! 13:15, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's actually a nick :3. A cloak is something such as @wikia/Hairr.  Okay?  22:43, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

Talk pages
Can you use a bot to do that instead? 22:13, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * ^This. 16:39, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you're talking about. I was suggesting (or telling) you to use a bot. 16:57, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * You looked to be on the verge of another spam-rampage. 01:40, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Talk pages
My question is, why hasn't that template been used frequently in the past 4 years? 23:56, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Started. I'll let you know when its finished. 00:18, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done! 10:50, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, it'll take forever, but I'm banking on a lot of uncreated talk pages.  01:59, December 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeh, that's done. Much faster than expected. 06:22, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

RE
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want. I don't see a problem; everything was working almost exactly as I coded it to (I'll explain at the end what the mini problem was) when I checked myself. What I don't understand is the "not a mainspace page" part. The template isn't supposed to link to pages outside its namespace, there's no real reason for it to.

I did manage to find a little bug in the create a new archive link. Clicking it on a page that was an archive subpage already would make the link point to subpage of that subpage, Lol. So thanks for being the catalyst for me finding that. :D 20:02, December 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * LOL I was confused badly by that. I assumed you meant Archive List because I had that huge overhaul and there was no template on SGS. Still thanks for leading me to find that error though :D. Ya, I'll take a peek at the talkheader. 20:10, December 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. The funny thing is: I used extremely similar code to fix it as I did to fix the thing on Archive list. So YAY! Didn't have to think that hard. 20:15, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Deletion template
We aren't supposed to delete images unless they have the links to them removed. If you'd like an image to be deleted, such as you did with File:Noclip Skypouncer.png, please manually remove the links to that image, then put the deletion template on it. Thanks in advance, 19:11, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Forum archives
For clarity's sake, I'd recommend that you either use the ISO date standard (2012-01-06 for today), write out the name of the month, or say somewhere that you're using DD/MM/YYYY format in your archives. 21:05, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Forum archives weirdness
I've figured out what was causing the line break: a lack of hour and minute timestamp in the date parameter. It's probably the biggest flaw with the archives, the timestamp has to be HH:mm, DD [name of month] YYYY, which is what causes the other issue you can see. The only fix I have currently is to go through and change the date parameter of the forumheader template manually. It's annoying, but I never managed to get the #time parser to recognise the timestamp as a time. It's some weird glitch where only dpl invoked as a parser function - {{#dpl: - can be used in conjunction with template parameters - eg {{{forum}}} as the argument for titlematch - but dpl invoked within tags - - is the only way to get the time parser to alter the date string. {{User:Cåm/Signature|11:16, 7 Jan 2013 (UTC)}}

Archive dates
When closing YGs, putting 5 tildes inserts the date as you see it in the archive header. Going through and changing all of those seems like too much of a task, why don't you change the available formats in the archive coding thing? 01:16, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Just get a bot to do it, Cåm has Cåmdroid. AWB can be used for this as it is just regex. 01:53, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll see if I can get a working regex for it.
 * Btw, just in case you start the 2009 archives, I've got them started (although I haven't had time to finish them) on the subpages of my 10th sandbox (I have far too many...). 1 is january, 2 february, etc. and I think I ordered them all by date. They just need the parameters filled in.
 * Finally fixed the date issue on the forum archives. They will now accept the current output from : 16:33, January 11, 2013 (UTC). Sadly, that's all it'll take, but I asked Joey for the regex to fix all the dates. If it needs fixing again sometime, I left the regex on my bots userpage. Also....
 * yayayayayayayayayayayay it's finished!! :D
 * Tell me about it. I had to use RecentChanges to tell me if an edit had gone through on the larger years. I seriously doubt I can even load the full list, and I can get Special:AllMessages to show 5000.
 * I did wonder whether it would be best to add extra parameters to forumheader so I could just invoke one or two calls as opposed to 500+ on a page, but I don't know if it would make much of a difference. Two calls for 600 pages for 600 calls for one page at a time. I don't know enough about how the extension works to know which would be best.

editing pop standard portal
Hi, I saw you edited the pop standard portal image that I uploaded... i was wondering why you added those things there. Not as a criticism, but... well for future reference? Thanks ;) 20:08, January 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ahhh thanks man! great help ;) 20:32, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism templates
Hi Blaze. Can you please "subst:" your vandalism templates that you add to IP's? It is pretty much needed. Thank you, 21:23, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * From le Mol post: The reason to do this is that if a template is transcluded directly, then the edit section link will lead to the template rather than the page. For that reason, it's better to substitute the entire template's code. 21:25, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Navbox documentations
If you really want em all to have it, it'd probably be better to ask some admin to have the documentation as part of navbox's transclusion if and only if the transcluding page's namespace is template. 18:32, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well fuck... You can have a bot undo it all. Doing it ^that way^ makes the code less messy sorta and allows one to create a navbox without thinking twice about documentation. 18:43, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * On Template:Navbox, the code  would be added. That'd be all. Simple, right?  18:49, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Transclude
It was caused by an unclosed span tag in Signatures/Thejman. All fixed now.

Re
I know why it did that, but you probably don't care too much. Just know that you can use the subject page's full name in the parameter of talk header to change the link and that I did exactly that. 22:41, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * The parsers were looking for whether the first seven letters of the  were equal to the word 'archive' case insensitive. The page Template talk:Archive, however, is not a subpage, it is the basepage. When there is no subpage, the magic word returns the page name instead, which in this case happened to include archive as the first seven letters. The template is then told to remove the last part of the title if the sub page name begins with 'archive' (each title part is separated by a /). Well, here that was the entire title so an empty string was passed into the fullurl template. When that happens, the template isn't treated as a magic word and a template named fullurl: is searched for on the wiki. Well, that doesn't exist, so it's a redlink, but when placed in between brackets, it comes out like [:Template:Fullurl:] this.


 * Forgot to sign, so imma sine 4 times here to make up for it. 23:11, February 13, 2013 (UTC)  23:11, February 13, 2013 (UTC)  23:11, February 13, 2013 (UTC)  23:11, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

STAHP!
Just because one person decides to move a popular page without any consultation or consensus, doesn't mean you have to blindly update all redirects. Stop changing those, as the coordinates page is being moved BACK to coordinates. 08:24, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Question
You think that in your edit-farming excursions you could use half of your brain and license images as well as categorising them? Or is that too difficult for you? 23:25, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm just annoyed when I see blatant signs of what looks like idiocy to me: categorising images and ignoring the fact that they're in need of licencing as well, changing a load of redirects without stopping for just one section to think "hey, if that was a legit move then the person doing it would have changed these then, right?"... it annoys me, and I don't hold back my annoyance. 23:29, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Did it not cross your mind, in the case of the Coordinates > GPS move, that a rather popular page (8th most popular, according to Cook Me Plox) had been moved without any discussion at all, by a rather new user with practically no edits to his name, and that maybe it might not be the most legit move ever and you should consult someone about it, by leaving a message on an admin's talk or coming into Special:Chat/IRC and asking? 08:22, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Re:DPL home page problem
I was testing something with the forumheader and Aburnett set the archive to true causing the issue. I've altered the DPL to filter by namespace on your home page so nothing like this will happen again :)
