Talk:RuneScape Wiki/Archive 5

New layout
I really think the Main Page needs a new layout. It seems really unorganized and way too bulky the way it currently is.--Richard 03:16, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I AGREE
The main page REALLY needs a new layout.

Could you explain what you think needs changing? 22:35, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Fire
I think we should update the fire pic with the new one. They updated the graphics so it looks red now.

 * oi christine he is talking about the page., 01:45, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

no need to be agressive an explanation would have done lol,
 * fixed and my apologies ^^, 04:07, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

calcs
Would it be possible for the wiki to include calculators for skill training and combat such as other websites do? someone would have to write them of course, I wouldnt know where to start there, what language or anything like that, but I know one of the major criticisms of this site is it does not have calculators, my freinds are drawn to other sites because of this, although they do say we have really fast quest guide releases they all use this site for quests, a few have signed up to contribute.

Yes!! A combat Calculator and a Max hit calculator would come in handy.

I agree :p, 04:09, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if it would work. Javescript would be needed I believe, and it would take time to make, so I'm

Random Quote
I added a seperate box for the random quote, does the wiki like it?

Does you likes da Quote Box? Yes, me likes. No, me no like. 19:31, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

It's cool, but I think it stands out too much. 01:14, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure, my thoughts are simmiler to the ones in this discussion, in that

"The point of the main page is to feature the encyclopedia's content. A quote is not encyclopedia content. Plus, how would they be seleted? "*Support very intelligent sounding" and "*Oppose doesn't sound good"? That's rather subjective, as can be expected, since there is really no objective way to pick a quote. In conclusion, this isn't happening."

Just my thoughts. 13:29, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Excuse me, but IT'S NOT CHRISTMAS.
It's the eleventh of November. There are 44 days until Christmas. Why do we have the lights up? I propose we change to Christmas style while the Christmas event is out, not before not after. Hm? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 15:11, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Where is the Christmas? Christine Talk 15:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I swear a few minutes ago the skill icons around the great big banner at the top of the main page had been replaced with christmas items. Well, either way, we can still discuss; not until the Event comes out, yes? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  15:21, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. <Font face=Sylfaen><font color=RoyalBlue>Christine <Font face=Sylfaen><font color=LimeGreen>Talk 15:22, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Searching WIKI's
It's not clear to me how to search this marvelous wiki. This must have been talked about before but I find it hard to understand a wiki as being a wiki without a search facility. Could someone please add a search box to every page, says he glibly? Regards, ptolomeus. I'll go and register now and will be happy to concentrate on crossing t's and dotting i's.
 * I believe it depends what skin you're using as to where the search box is, but you've always got one. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  22:55, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see it, apologies. It's different from the wikipedia.com style.Ptolomeus 22:19, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You can change it to the Wikipedia skin. I did. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  22:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
