I has a sad
So yea. That whole User:Psycho Robot/Sandbox potions thing I had going. I've decided that the best way to go about it is to use nested tables, one table with a fixed amount of columns since these columns are common to all potions, and a second table about ingredients and production values, since the amount of ingredients varies from potion to potion. But, as I stated in the subject, I has a sad. Despite the fact that the first three columns of both tables have the same measurements (80px), they aren't output as equal lengths! OMG WUT GIVES?! 00:34, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * nou 00:56, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * A pox on Killr833! And a pox on cellpadding and cellspacing! Anyways, I've been toying around with getting them nestled up against each other like the whole POH template, and my research indicates that your mother is they key. I mean class="normal POH" is the key. But I can't find where its defined, so I can't figure out what code is used to make them nestle against each other like that. And more damningly, I can't just copy and paste it to make a class="potion table" or something! Where is this mysterious code encapsulated?! 19:10, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * As you may be able to guess, it works exactly the opposite way for me. 96px makes it one pixel too short, and 97 is just right. Intriguing... You must have done something terrible! 23:20, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Take a look at it now. I made the entire table with 590px and left the last columns undefined. They'll fill out to be whatever the browser says it should be... 96px for you... 97px for people who don't suck... Everyone wins! 23:51, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Excellent excellent. The fruits of my labour are coming together. However there yet remains issues to be resolved. How can one specify the height of a table? I tried specifying it in the top part, just after class="wikitable" as height="300" but that didn't work! And manually specifying the height of the rows isn't working either. Its 1 pixel too short, and then I increase 1 row's height by 1 pixel and suddenly its 1 pixel too long! This is madness, pure madness! I'm beginnning to think I may well just need to give up on side-by-side nested tables. 17:34, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Now that the table layouts have been worked out, I just need to make some execution decisions that I'd like your input on. A huge one is how many potions I should try to support. For instance right now I support all tradeable normal potions, all barbarian mixes, all extreme potions, and the tars, but I don't support quest potions like Guthix balance, Guthix tea, and Serum 20whatever. Nor do I support non-standard potions like overload and sanfew serum.

For the quest and non-standard potions I'd have to code a separate table for each one, and if I did that I might as well just hard-code the information right into the template and not have the user provide any input at all, like ... and if I did that what's the point of even using a template at all? Keeping the article code clean I guess? Another alternative is making a set of generic inputs, like "ingredient1" and "ingredient2" so you could put in whatever crazy thing goes into making the potion without being thrown off by the label.

One final thing is, given that I had given up on stacking the Extreme potions table side-by-side, I stacked it vertically and I realised that it fits perfectly under the potions infobox. And I started to think that perhaps the other tables could be oriented like that too, and just be combined with the existing infobox. This not only ensures that it would be in standard position of each article, but it also combines the two functionally similar tables into one coherent entity. Furthermore I could reuse some fields present in the infobox to define things in the tables. It could also stop us from needing to repeat the images, or from having to upload new images, a possibility I encountered when I realised that we had no Extreme strength (1-3) images.

It might also make it easier to support the oddball potions, since if the ingredients were all on one row, as would be the case in this situation, then the amount of columns in that row could easily be changed without affecting the rest of the table. The columns could even be eliminated altogether and they could just be centered in one wide column. It would also stop me from having to think of a name for a new template. PotionAnalysis. Ha! What was I thinking? Although now that I think of it Infobox Potion would have worked out perfectly. Damn. 20:27, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Trippy and awesome
Years and years in the future when every possible calculator is completed, do you reckon that it would be possible for someone to create (for example) a firemaking calculator where you put in your name, goal level and how much you are willing to spend, and it calculates the combination of logs that cost that much that will get you to your goal the fastest?? Like say you have 200k to get to 1m xp, and when put in the calculator says that you should buy 1027 yew logs and 8253 maple logs, which cost 199,997 gp and give you 100,012 xp when burnt. Is that not an awesome idea! 05:43, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Any way to remove forcibly remove linebreaks? Like with this idea of evil's I'm working on, there is a lot of space, and I tried display:none. 17:17, April 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am amazed that anyone took this seriously, it is so...different and luxurious...to any other calculator. The problem with the idea is that it only works for a few skills like firemaking, fletching, smithing, herblore, cooking, etc. where the rate you make high level items is the same as low level things. 02:12, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure if this is possible to make. It's not a calculator, exactly, it's more of a possibility finder. I'm working on it, but I don't know if the functions available will allow it to be completed. 00:05, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I found something that may make it easier, because my main problem was looping the template. wikipedia:Template:Loop and wikipedia:Template:For_loop. I stole them, they're at Template:For loop and Template:Loop.

hi- idk if ull help me with this, but i need some templates for another wiki. dont know if u can/want 2 make, but since u made me that userbox u are the first person im asking. 02:01, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Letter from Uberfuzzy
In light of some recent events here I thought it would be of benefit to share out this letter that Uberfuzzy wrote to Azaz129 with all our active sysops, and he has agreed to let me do so. This is not meant as a slap at any one for recent actions, just as some food for thought about us and where we want to be as a wiki. As you and your wiki has shown in the past, a large stable community can exist and be fairly self sufficient at Wikia, with little need from staff/helper intervention. This is a dream of ours, to have more wikis run themselves, allowing us to focus our finite amount of time and resources on the sites that actually need it. Sadly, your wiki is an exception in many ways, not the norm.

As with the checkuser, we've shown that we're willing to try things out, to break away from the mentality of "how things were done in the past" to see how they fair in the ever evolving world of wikis, and to get some real world data on how a stable wiki will react if allowed more rights. You've been great test of our theoretical worries about granting checkuser where needed.

Done. You bureaucrats can now add and remove bot rights.

One thing We've always admired about your wiki is even though you have a way above average number of sysops, you have managed to keep the bureaucrat list small, showing that you understand what that roll is meant for, and not just another checkbox. We hope to continue to see good things come out of runescape, and can continue to use it as a shining example of our dream.-Uberfuzzy --Degenret01 08:56, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

[http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Reveal_leaked_info%3F consensus here says we shouldnt have leaks on the wiki. ]and yet, we have an article for leaks. am i missing something? 17:58, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Parser Functions, Variables, Templates, oh my :{
Hello. I have recently taken an interest in creating calculators with the wiki-based methods, but have run into a bit of an issue. I cannot attend any classes with a human instructor, and have nothing to work with but my own home computer. I have 1 hour of time on it a day, and that I mainly use for playing RuneScape. I was wondering if you knew of a total guide for how to create simple to intermediate calculators using the |param, |result, |form ect. method. I have created some extremely simple ones, that use two numbers to perform a simple function, and have designed another that gives the profit yeilded when merching, but that is rather glitched with my main problem, literal results, where the result will return something like. I was wondering if there was a way around this. I have also come up with a calculator that is supposed to take a player's average level and total XP and create their total well-roundedness in a percent. This is a very rough method, and I have yet to replace the large case statement with the XP template. The method I have used to create it involves calculating the total amount of XP per level of the player and dividing it by 25 and then taking the amount of XP that it takes to get up 1 level from the player's average level, which must be created by rounding the total level to the nearest 25 and dividing by 25. I then divide the total amount of XP in the variable created by dividing the total amount of XP by 25 and divide the variable by the second variable, created by the amount of xp in the player's average level, yeilding a percent ranging from -10 to 110, as I have calculated. The discrepency is caused by all of the rounding. I'm sory for bombarding you with such a large block of text, but am very anxious to learn this. P.S. I normally write out all of my code by hand and then input it into the computer the next day, if possible, as that conserves the amount of time I can spend on the computer. 18:59, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much! I was both overthinking it and underthinking it at the same time. I can't believe I used eval instead of expr in all cases! I really appreciate your help. As for your calculator guide, I would be very interested in it.  Also, I have used your steps as guidelines for making the calculator, and have it here. It is still glitched, and I was wondering if you could take a llok at it.  I'm going to be gone for a few days, so I won't be on the wiki.  Thanks for everything.   16:29, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Template:User stats and RSHiscores
Sorry for the delay, I didn't have a computer ready for testing. Locally I can't reproduce the problem, but without the cURL error code I can't know the actual issue. Do you know when it first started, if so I could look for Wikia code changes that could have caused it. I'll have to work out a debug system and ask Wikia to give me what it returns if I can't find the problem publically and knowing Wikia it will take till up to next Wednesday to get an answer if it involves code changes. - 20:00, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Categorilogical questionification
Is there any way I can make a page like Template:Construction 1 appear in Category:Level up templates under a little expandable menu called "Construction" with all the individual pages listed as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc? Like..

[+]Construction :*1
 * 2
 * 3
 * 99
 * 99

...or...

[+]Construction :*Level 1
 * Level 2
 * Level 3
 * Level 99
 * Level 99

...whichever you think looks better. 02:55, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. I was hoping it'd be something as simple as the way we categorize signatures. So since that's not the case, I'll just make a subcategory. Whoo!  00:00, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I made the subcategory! Whoo! Now I has one last question. before I categorize all the pages. Is there any way to change the name that appears in the category page? I got the sort key down, but that changes sort order without changing the appearing name. Ideally, I'd like to change the links from Template:Construction 1 to 1 or Level 1 (sub-question: is it possible to use the latter without everything being listed under "L"?) 00:14, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Defining administrators
Hello Gaz, my latest project should be getting underway soon. Unfortunately, due to personal matters, I will not be able to be as active as is necessary for a project of this scope to succeed, therefore I'm delegating each unclaimed section to a willing administrator to moderate, and Caleb has recommended I speak with you. To quote myself from Degen's talkpage: "Basically, you'd be creating the bulleted discussion points, keeping the discussion on track, be responsible for promoting the discussion you're in charge of, and if you wish, sum up the discussion afterwards to be included in the broader essay. (My wording makes it sound more difficult than it is). You also are free to edit any of the subpages (mostly to add in the discussion points that give shape to the section, otherwise it would devolve into aimless chit-chat). I'm of course still fleshing this out, however I think this would be the most efficient method thus far." If you are interested, please let me know, many thanks.-- 07:01, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
