Re: Template:ExchangeItem
Right now, the update subcategories use the  parameter by default, and then if there isn't one, the revision date is used. This should work around inaccurate dates from vandals for the most part, but if you still think it should be changed you can simply get rid of the pipe and the revision timestamp variable in each use of the date parameter. It might be useful to simplify the code that I wrote and use Template:DateDiff instead, though, as it's admittedly a bit messy. Skill 13:43, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The subcategory code in Template:ExchangeItem was what I referred to as messy; I can definitely see why you left it alone, it's a bit of a hack if you will. If Template:DateDiff is causing template size problems, though, we probably won't be able to use it, so my code will have to do unless you can find a simpler way of writing it. As for the number of subcategories, my thinking at the time was that it wouldn't be hard to adjust the number/time periods involved if anyone wanted, so you can feel free. I'll adjust the expression if you'd like. Skill 02:14, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No complaints here. Minor note, though, you don't have to use in the  parser functions, as it uses the current date and time if no parameters are specified. Skill 19:52, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Favicon ideas
That is interesting, the beacon icon is the first to break the round icon style altogether. I'm not so sure that cycling through them would be a good idea however. Additionally the favicons of most websites are usually derived from the sites logos. As seen here:
 * [[Image:Searchable favicons.png]]

As you can see, Google uses it's G, Yahoo uses it's Y, Wikipedia uses it's W, Amazon uses it's A, IMDb uses a mini version of their movie ticket logo, eBay uses it's coloured letters name logo, etc. That being the case I'd love to push for an update of the logo (to the cleaner HD inspired version that is familiar and recycles the lettering), as well as the RW favicon that is derived from the logo's lettering. However I firmly believe that any of my suggestions will be swept under the rug as I seem to have some sort of controversial airs that surround me and cause people to reject whatever I say, at least that's my crackpot theory of the minute. 18:52, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Re:Adam arrow (p++) and other GE pages in general
Hi Azliq, thanks for letting me know. I have reverted all the changes. Thanks again 10:26, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Sysops
Hello, You probably don't know me all that well, but I would like to ask if I could nominate you for a RfA? I don't know if you've been asked before and I'm just too lazy to try to find it out, or if you really don't want to be an admin, but I think you would be a very good leader here on the wiki. What do you say? -- 14:24, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Wait, so are you telling me you don't want one? -- 15:15, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I will later on today. I'm doing some chores right now, so it'll have to wait till tonight. -- 17:31, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: Own category
What about User:Tarikochi? And her Category ? 18:53, 13 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, User:Tarikochi also has her own category. Both Buzz and me uploaded enough images to place in our category.--. 11:25, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: Animations in general
So if I dont wear my Pith Helmet and stuff I am allowed to upload more pictures?--. 16:06, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: GEMH images
Haha, guess that's what I get for trying to help. I'll stop mucking around with the upload log, then. *grins* Thanks for letting me know. --nekobawt 20:20, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

OK, I think that mini-crisis is over. :-D  20:59, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Spirit World
Hi you seem to have added the locations of the weak portals to the spirit world page, could you be a bit more specific with regards no3? its the only one i haven't found, u say in the article its near the dark knights fortress, where exactly? 13:57, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Circus in Ardougne
Hi! Where excatly can I find the ticket vendor? It seems to be still in Taverley...--. 06:08, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: Audience Costume
Thanks for your views on the matter. I now understand why it is categorized as such, and not by costumes. Still, I was wondering if I could add images of my character wearing the costume pieces that appear to go together by colour (excluding the boots since there are only two pairs of boots) to serve as an example of how the same coloured pieces look together. Also, I was wondering if I could upload images of the different Audience pieces equipped by themselves since the current images show only one type of Audience hat/shirt/trousers/boots. If this idea wouldn't work, I'd understand. I just feel like there should be an example of what these pieces look like by themselves and with other matching pieces. Please feel free to leave me a message on my Talk page with your views on the matter. Thank you for your time. -- JalYt-Xil-BicycleCat user 18:54, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Re:Ringmaster coat
Our redirect policy applies here. Someone may make a similar mistake in the future and it's simply better to not have any possibility of confusion. 18:53, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: "For" template
How is it unnecessary and rigid? I know personally I prefer seeing

rather than



It's easy for new users to use as well. What other states would you want to add? You can just add another or I can modify it and allow for multiple things.--Richard 22:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I see. Alright then, want me to delete it then and clean up the articles that used it?--Richard 20:46, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Done.--Richard 17:30, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: ItemDB
immibis 04:40, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * First I downloaded the original page - to get the last price, last date, alch price etc. from the MediaWiki API (MediaWiki is the wiki software that Wikia uses).
 * I screen-scraped http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=Exchange:Jade&action=edit for the edit token (see MediaWiki documentation).
 * Then I faked a request to runescape.wikia.com (not sure which URL) with the updated information.


 * I have posted my Java source code (Hopefully you know Java) here. Note that you will need to make a few changes to set the username and password to log in with as well as setting a directory to place temporary files in (It creates a lot of temporary files). Call Login to log in and UpdateGEMW with the item's name (not the page's name) and price to update the page. (The members parameter is ignored). immibis 05:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

HD animations
Lol, more to come soon :D Also got plans to increase the quality of the few i did already (they were rushed out to show how better they could look than the old ones) to make them clearer and smoother with less frames and smaller filesize -- 15:32, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Rampant Vandalism
Couple of I.P.'s are tearing some articles apart, please ban them ASAP! 00:45, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, thats embarrassing, I mistook you for azaz when I clicked on your name =/ sorry about that!  00:58, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Common.js changes
Done; I wasn't sure where to change the custom edit button code tho so I replaced it with the first line; was I supposed to do that? (see diff)--Richard 17:19, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've fixed it. But Karlis has said that adding Special:Log to the AJAX has caused it to not appear in the recent changes (I also no longer see the box); should I take out Special:Log?--Richard 17:55, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I see it now with the second change you made. 17:59, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Clue monsters
Was that you putting that "monster" in the list?--Nantafiria 15:02, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Cat

 * Yes it does work. It is limited, the items will all appear under "2" but they will be in the right order - oldest first. There are other ways to do this, but they all require more maintenance as far as I can see. Rich Farmbrough, 09:01 1  October 2008 (GMT).
 * Hmm now I see yor trick of treating Exchange as a namespace (is it one?) it's easy to generate this cat. It WILL find some, in fact I would say nearly all, old articles, once the template has propagated. Lets leave it for a bit and see if it helps. Naturally the best solution is to pull the prices form the Jagex site, but until then... Rich Farmbrough, 09:08 1  October 2008 (GMT).
 * OK, this is getting a bit "not invented here", harmless to leave it for a couple of months, surely? Rich Farmbrough, 09:12 1 October 2008 (GMT).

OK I smartened the sort-key up a bit, now it's a bit better, I'm just touching all the Exchange articles, but so far Unstrung holy symbol is the oldest at 242 days. Rich Farmbrough, 17:03 1 October 2008 (GMT).

Your RFA
I just saw that you finally said you would accept a nom, so your nom is in. Go sign it so the judging can commence lol .RuneScape:Requests_for_adminship/Azliq7 --Degenret01 13:43, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Japol1's edits
Could you talk to him about his current edits? These would include Learning the Ropes, Skills, God Wars Dungeon, and his poorly-done nomination of Cooking for a Featured Article (I see you've just now reverted those first two). I'm getting more and more impatient with him; he doesn't seem to understand how to properly edit, so I would like you to talk to him, for fear that I'll mess up with my words. He was doing so well, too, until recently...also, I now believe that User:Cp josh truly IS a sockpuppet of Japol; not only do they have the same bad English and editing skills, but if you check CP Josh's video page, you'll see that same exact YouTube video that Japol's previous sockpuppet (named Jackspy156) placed on the forums. Of course, there's always the possibility of Japol showing the video to his "brother", but we can't be sure, since we obviously don't monitor him. To put it bluntly, I'm tired of undoing everything Japol does, and I'm positive that I'm not alone in thinking that. He's changed the news template for the Main Page just to tell everyone that he made another poll. He's placed templates on pages that had no need for them (you've seen this one just a little bit ago). He's gone to the Yew Grove to change the picture for just because he thought it was boring (that's not the point, obviously). He changed the sitenotice for the Olympics Ceremony, not stopping even after being warned to stop around FOUR OR FIVE times. He's nominated articles for what they're about, not how well-made they are. The list just goes on and on, and I'm not going to let it get longer, because his edits are JUST NOT HELPING. Please, talk to Japol!

My Signature
Hi! Do you have any idea what could be the problem with my signature? It seems to have no border at the right side...--. 15:09, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * At the one you showed me, I seemed to have right borders. Can you save it now? Thanks!--. 16:17, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Tutorial Images
Hi! I am currently replacing all images, as perhaps over 5 years, new players will join this wiki, and I want to show them the old tutorial island as detailed as possible. I will later add more images (if this is a good enough reason), but now i'm going to sleep. --. 17:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Finished adding image galleries of the different audience pieces
I wanted to let you know that I finished adding those image galleries. Since I could not control how the images displayed when I put them in a regular gallery, I was forced to use tables to create "pseudo-galleries". As such, I was wondering if you'd take a look at my handiwork and see if there are any improvements that could be made to the "galleries". I would also like to ask if there was a way to add a description that would display under the whole table/gallery instead of just under a single image. Thank you for your time. -- JalYt-Xil-BicycleCat user 21:11, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Re:Template:Standarddetail
I'm confused as to how you find her version more adhering to the style guide than mine. When after I reverted her edits, I made numerous changes to make the template sound more like her revision. The only reason I undid her revision was because I found it difficult to understand.
 * Also- Why did you make a new category, and change the templates category, but change none of the other relevant links (ie. from the community portal, the template itself, ect.) I'm a little frustrated right now =/ -- 16:43, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * No need to apologize, I see what you where getting at. I am going to make just a few changes to the template to add back some of the information, making sure it adheres to the style guide. -- 22:36, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

RE: Audience costume gallery
Thanks very much for adding those descriptions. I wasn't able to figure out a way to add them myself without somehow messing up the galleries, so you've been a great help. Thanks again! -- JalYt-Xil-BicycleCat user 16:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Obby shield page
Sorry, I wandered off for a while. If you're still on, it has been deleted. 19:56, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Wait, isn't it T K Z, not T z k? 19:58, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

RuneScape:Templates
I disagree, because it make that page doesn't marked as articles in need of cleanup, articles to be merged and votes for deletion. Naikiw 06:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Missing PointyBot file
Hiya, I've uploaded the missing file to the CodePlex project - it's a separate download. Sorry it took so long to put up there. Let me know if you have any other problems with it and I'll try to help. Pointy 11:36, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
