GEMH images
When I import GEMH images to Finnish RuneScape Wiki, it brings all the pages, but not the pictures, for example:. Do you know how to import images?

transclusion
We have already been looking into the transclusion option together with Uberfuzzy. (It is already activated on our Wiki.) His conclusion was that it is impossible to transclude the exchange pages because it will simply show the visual part of the exchange pages. For exchange pages to work properly we also need the keywords to be transferred. It might still work for the GEMW images. Maybe Uberfuzzy overlooked something. Feel free to experiment on our Wiki with the transclusion feature. -- 11:57, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Old GE Price
Hi, Is there any way of getting some item's GE Price from some days ago? For example to see how much was it yesterday.. I would compare it with the actual price and see the difference. I need just the number. Thanks, 15:55, January 1, 2010 (UTC).

Interwiki transclusion
I tried to write, it brung the whole page, including sidebar and stuff. Then I went to Hammer page, and put the GEMW there, but it didn't bring the price, it brung the whole Exchange:Hammer page. I also asked wikia staff about the transclusion, and they said it isn't possible.

AzBot Upload Log
Is it possible to remove the newer version updates from the update log? Upload Log 14:25, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Infobox preloaders
I noticed that the wiki has two different ways of preloading infoboxes into an article: Via MediaWiki:Newarticletext when creating a new page, or via an "Insert template" drop-down which is added via JS every time a page is edited. I think we should get rid of the JavaScript-based preloader form, for these reasons: What do you think? -- 11:41, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) The JS form is not in a prominent location, being below the edit form.
 * 2) The JS form is shown and generates an additional AJAX request even though I really don't think it's being used much, per 1) and because it loads in many situations where it's not needed. This behavior could be tweaked to stop it from loading in non-mainspace edits, though.
 * 3) The JS form uses a different preloader page. For example, Template:Newpage item and Template:Infobox Item/preload . With some work, this could also be changed so they both use the same page.
 * Finished! I've been meaning to do a general cleanup of Common.js/Functions.js for a while now. There is some redundant functions that are offered by wikibits.js and/or the jQuery library plus some other things that are not being used. I just need to comb through it all and also apply the selective loading optimizations we discussed before. -- 15:54, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

question
How do you add a sitemeter on a wiki? --Huge234 14:18, January 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm making a food wiki. I'm doing a challenge where I'm trying to cook 81 recipes in 100 days. Here is the url if you want to see it.


 * http://4-ingredientsorless.wikia.com/wiki/Food_Wiki --Huge234 16:07, January 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * No I have not. With the instructions on the site it says to add the code bye pressing the add media button. But I do not see the add media button on the tool bar menu. --Huge234 01:13, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Glitch?
Hey Azliq, is some sort of bug occuring here? Strangely enough, the link to the CVU is instead linked to an image on the Micronations Wiki. What's going on? Thanks! 07:24, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Syntax highlighting
Yep, I've used the SyntaxHighlight GeSHi extension on other wikis before. Not only does it have the .js/.css highlight feature for pages but it provides the tag to embed code inline. I support it's installation since it can be used help people view/understand code that I often find myself posting -- 19:01, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've just made the request to Wikia, since I don't see what harm this could do. -- 13:14, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uberfuzzy just informed me that this extension is installed now. -- 12:41, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Template:Wiki Post/Format and RS:MP
Hey, Az.

I tried making a sub-template for Template:Wiki Post to make it easier to add new articles to a random mix. Unfortunately, the template does not like the option brackets to be a part of it, so those had to be added to the main template directly, and it is causing trouble on RS:MP. I am coming to you hoping you know how to fix the problem, as I have found nothing wrong thus far. Thanks, 02:07, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Az  19:32, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia Ads
Is there anyway to hide the links to other wikis? There are now ads at the bottom of the page, and also the 'what's new on wikia', and I consider them to be eyesores. 10:41, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Monaco. 11:02, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Help
im new here and i kindi need help with stuff  so  plz relpy

say u where a lvl 79 and u need to get a lvl 80 and u nned to do it in like a day wat would u do ????

Spoiler
Can you remove the spoiler warning off Template:Event details?? I am not fully sure what all the other code around it does don't want to break it. Thanks! 01:46, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Template:StoreLine
Hey az, I'm just going to direct this query to you since you've worked on the template before. A different template/code needs to be used as it's causing redlinks in shop articles such as Beefy Bill's Supplies because they sell untradeable items. It's a bit too technical for me, but I'm guessing you would know what to do. Thanks. 07:31, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks!  11:56, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Template:Header
I have a question. Can you make it so the picture will link to something if it is defined? 15:04, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Absmin & max
Do you think it would be a good idea to put something about in the editintro template? Very few people understand it, so... 18:08, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

Required plugins
Hiya!

While reading the WGS page, I saw I required a certain plugin. After visiting Template:Listen I found out to contact you if I needed the plugins. Could you give me the links to them? Thanks! --Tedjuh10 (Talk)


 * I've checked it, and the music plays fine for me. --Tedjuh10 (Talk)

Re:Crowns
Hi Az, I've re-uploaded them just then, thanks for letting me know. If there are other issues, you can leave any further messages on my talk page. Thanks :) cflm (talk) 03:48, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Template:RSWP-header
Hey again, Az. Chicken and Me where working on adding a new feature to the RSWP-header template for the RSWP awards (yes, we are looking for a new name) in may. The goal is that there would be an input that would do the following:


 * 1) Add a small image of a gold, silver, bronze star, or unselected image next to the RSWP title thing in the navbox
 * 2) when this image is hovered over, it would say something like "This article won (1st/2nd/3rd) place in the RSWP Awards!" or, for the unselected image, "This article was nominated for the RSWP Awards!"

The goal is that there would not have to be another input for the 1st/2nd/3rd thing. I managed to go about halfway with this using a template I just created, Template:Switch, that I got from the mechscape wiki looking at this template where the same basic function appears to be fulfilled by the switch template. I tried installing it in the RSWP header template, but it was not working out. (yes, if your wondering, that is where I got the idea for Template:Header) 14:00, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

oh wow, I figured it out. 14:59, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

HTML help
As you can see from the RS:Sandbox, I have been trying to get it to display like an actual new message notice. I just want know if it is possible without using sitewide css, which seems to be the only way it would ever work. Of course I'm no expert in html, but that is what my brief experiments have shown me. 09:02, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * The actual link isn't important, as long as it can be changed. 09:14, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I should have been clearer. What I want that I think would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, is to have the hovertext display the name of whoever is viewing it. 09:22, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's what I figured. I tried used insertusername, but it always did that. No, I don't think the site script should be modified for something this frivolous, and I can't see an actual use for it. 09:57, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Adding the Header Edit Button
Hello again, Az. Some users in the thread I am sure you know I am talking about expressed interest in keeping the header edit button. Do you know of any scrip that would add it back in for the users that wanted it? 20:54, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think I am the best person to ask, because it would be in conflict with the content of my Global.css file. I will ask somebody who complete the task to ensure everything works out right. Oh, and I left you some cake on that page where you put the yummy stuff. 21:56, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Despite my attempts to keep my Userpace edit count down (due to me hosting several skins and RSWP templates in my userspace, it's rather high compared to my mainspace count), I edited all my css files to test it. It works, but now it says "add to this page". Uber fail. Did you like the cake? 22:07, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: AmauriceBot and commas
I agree. Commas would make it more readable.

I can change AmauriceBot to add commas too, but I'm not yet sure all places will handle commas yet though.

For example, I think:
 * Template:ExcgDefault (used when exchange prices are updated) will not correctly update categories if commas are present.
 * Template:ExcgTable (used for the market watch) will give errors instead of the UP or DOWN arrows in the market watch tables.

I don't know if there are other places that might be effected too. I think we should try manually changing a few items first and check the behaviour. Also, is SmackBot going to be updated to add commas too?

Community Portal
Hey Az. I had a little project I was going to work on with User:Quarenon but I don't know what happened and nothing happened. Anyway, you can take a look at the details here. I want to make a new and improved community portal, as our current one is rarely used. I know you helped make the main page, so you'd probably be good at this. Interested? Cheers, 16:06, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Haha. I know my sandbox version is reaaal crappy; that's why I asked you. No offense taken. I think there are a lot of changes that need to be done with content. That's what I plan to work on, but you can help too. The general idea was to make it more community-like so it keeps people coming back, but also make it quite useful by giving users something to do when they need a job. You can start working on coding if you want. While I love the layout of the main page and Wiki post, maybe we shouldn't be too repetitive and get something new. But I don't know and don't mind.  Cheers,  07:03, January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * WOW! It looks great! About length, I don't see it as a problem right now. But if we do want to add more sections and wish to keep the size, we could put two sections in two columns, like what is done in the RSWP and main page. I also admire the different design, as I didn't think it'd be good if it had that exact same look as the RSWP and Main Page. A suggestion: Maybe a tiny bit more colour here and there, maybe shading the boxes on the left where the headings and NPCs are).


 * I also think we could add more sections, so not to only change the page from being a boring list of links, but add some nifty new ideas to make it more "community-ish". I had some ideas here somewhere, although I think you've incorporated most. Some ideas to consider imho:
 * Events listing - A lot of players seem to like to organise events, not wikifests, but parties or meetups or whatever. I think we should allow players to add personal events, as this promotes users to checkup every few days, or to add their own. The Wikifest only occurs 4 times a year at the most.
 * WikiGuilds highlight - I'm not sure, maybe just to give the guilds some much needed attention?
 * Task noticeboard - I think some form of task noticeboard where you can in a way "pin" tasks up would be great. Some things you just need done and want to let users know about. An example with me, I wanted someone to create Template:Infobox merchandise. If we had a noticeboard, I could just add it there, and users looking to help/something to do can just take a look every now and again.


 * About the birthday thing, the only way I could see of listing each month's birthdays was separating them into subpages for each month, then placing it as a template in the box. It would automatically update by using August . You are the coding genius though, so you may have a better idea. If not, I'll go ahead and do that after your reply.


 * So, what do you think of these ideas? Cheers, 05:18, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * About the noticeboard, I think we'd definitely keep it on a subpage/separate page and place it there as a template, not only to keep the CP free from bugs and idiotic editing, but to not daunt users with the mass coding you have put in. About combining admin requests and noticeboard, hmm maybe but not sure. That noticeboard thing only isn't for admins, but all users. I could put it on there about splitting the fish articles to raw/cooked, seeing as I've been a bit slack in getting that done. And finally, about birthdays, I'll let you have a go at that, there is no time limit or anything.  Cheers,  06:10, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, I wouldn't oppose semi or even full protecting the CP if it is going to be this complicated, as any new ideas to add to it should probably be discussed first.

It seems to be coming along nicely. Also good work with removing the header; I was going to do that but got caught up with IRL stuff. I'll work on the noticeboard idea next. About the events area and the wikiguilds, I'm not sure what the section would contain; I was just throwing some ideas around. I might have a go at the events section if I get time. When we propose it, I'm sure there'll be many more ideas. Cheers, 03:08, February 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Things are still hectic with me, so haven't got around to it yet. I have no idea what exactly would go in the WikiGuild section. Noticeboard should be easy enough as it's just a blank box really. And the Events section I might have a go at, although it may act as like a noticeboard so could be redundant. The citations box sounds like a nifty idea too. One last thing that should be added is the "Featured stubs" section. I'm not sure what it'd contain, although you may want to take a look at the old Yew Grove thread for some users' ideas (don't think it is archived yet). I'll get working on some of those ideas soon, specifically the noticeboard and events. Cheers, 12:07, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Valentines
I was told you were female, which I didn't know. 17:13, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Since you're on...
Take a look at Runescape:Orphanage/misc. The page is basically unusable, to find out what templates are unused edit has to be clicked. Is there any way to 'fake' transclusion, so the page can just be a list of ttemplates? I tried a :, but that just causes a mainspace article transclusion. 07:55, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think thats what you meant? 08:00, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, that doesn't work. It just turns it into a link, not a transclusion, so it will still appear on Special:UnusedTemplates. 08:04, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh :[ for a minute I actually thought I knew something you didn't :/....Zaros knows all! 08:08, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Things not released
Can you make it so that when you type "No" into the "release" field of infoboxes, it says some nice phrase like Not released in-game. Currently there is no way of saying that a NPC/monser/item/shop hasn't been seen in-game (such as King Vallance and William Oddity) without making the field try to link to an update page. Thanks! 05:48, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey Az, I would like to thank you for giving me a chance to improve this wiki. The small errors by my bot were made only because I had not programmed in the required exceptions, as it was my first time running it here. I have closed the request, as it is obvious that the community here has no desire to give me a chance. Instead of becoming frusterated and making rash actions and judgements like I did yesterday, I am leaving it. Happy editing, 17:57, March 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, you'll see my undoing vandalism here now and then, but no, I won't be regularily editing here. The community here is so unable to accept any change, even for the better, and instead of wasting my time trying to change that I may as well retreat to one of the numerous other wiki projects that I contribute to. I have violated one of this wiki's policies, which is something that I am very sorry for. However, since I am treated as a troll here, I see no reason to stay. I am an administrator on many active wikis, including Wikianswers and Brickipedia, all of which have adaptable communities that don't argue endlessly over literally everything. As I said, thanks for your kindness, and I hope that you can find some joy in editing this wiki. 18:20, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

market volume
AZ,

How do you figure out the market volume data? I thought it use to be on the GE website or something but i haven't been able to get anywhere... Thanks -rykerh228.


 * I'll reply here and in your IP talk page: The market volume data is extracted from "Top 100 most traded items" (7 days) but I only upload the top 25 items in Category:GEMV images.  03:06, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

thank you
ah i remember this. can market volume data be collected from only the top 100? it is unfortunate this statistic isn't on every item's page -rykerh228
 * Sadly, yes. Only the top 100. 09:34, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Royal Crown Graph Error
The graph shows that it dropped in price 2 times even though that has never happened yet.

Wiki Market
Hi Azliq, you might want to give your input here since you were the one who originally proposed it. 02:12, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday for 2 days ago! Also, we should really probably get that Community Portal proposed. Maybe we should make some final finishing touches, then propose it? I don't think there is much chance at all that anyone would or should oppose. Other users may be able to help out with implementing some more features. Cheers, 01:02, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Be bold and implement it! 01:13, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I would support implementing what we have right now straight away. There is pretty much no reason anyone would oppose it. I do think it is important to at least announce it on the YG, where users can give feedback, suggestions or implement those other ideas. By the way, if you wanted to talk about this more, you could come in-game or on the IRC. Cheers, 03:47, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
