Re: Infoboxes for armour sets
You're right, in those cases i was duplicating a bad style with the intent of getting the information there first. I have an evil plan how to rectify the problems you've listed. 12:18, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It turns out that the Template:PVP items template was adding the Items Category as well, also fixed now. 13:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Finally I get back to you!
'''Do you know anyone else who has this "Items I need" section? Because I was thinking we could create a "bazaar/market" of some kind, where people can post "Items needed" and "Items for sale". az talk  19:56, 25 October 2008 (UTC)'''

Apologies for the late reply, but no, I do not know anyone else who does. Where exactly were you thinking of putting it? In the forums? I'm just wondering.

Pest?
Not hardly a pest! I've never thought that at all. To be honest, I envy you and the amount of edits and time you put into the encyclopedia. Your work and dedication are top quality, I truly mean that. I'm not sure who would call you a pest, and my opinion of them (not knowing the situation of course) would be that they're jealous. I really enjoy when you log on and I get to look forward to your expansions on articles. While I don't play RuneScape anymore, I love reading the information provided in the articles about things I never knew about. I would take people's negative comments with a grain of salt. You are one of our greatest editors. As far as getting involved in the community, a person with strong beliefs and opinions is a vital role in the solution/progression. I'm sure you've noticed that I'm very strong willed, and I believe you are too. While many people may disagree with certain views that you may have, it's not a reason to be influenced by other people's opinions. I value your input on matters, and the majority of the time I agree with them. You know what you're talking about, and you're able to argue your point to pretty much anyone. Don't get discouraged or fed up with comments, just roll with the punches, and keep doing what you're doing. Perhaps some time I'll be able to provide the encyclopedia with the content and information you do. As for now, I'll deal with the vandals and do what minor things I can. Sorry to cut this short, but I need to go get my wife from work. Send me a response and I'll get back to you in the morning when I get to work! 03:52, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Object Id
I was planning on doing this - and I captured the ids already. Rich Farmbrough, 15:52 19 November 2008 (GMT).
 * Advantage - unique ID (see Herb tea mix) - reusable data
 * Disadvantage - Hard to detect vandalism
 * OK all exchange items now have an ID field, but some 400 need filling in manually. THey are in the category Category:Exchange items with no ID. Rich Farmbrough, 16:14 20 November 2008 (GMT).

navbox is looking great
with the collapsible it's even better, are you going to implement the "v-d-e" thingy as well? I'm wondering if that is needed to keep the titles centered. 23:17, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * what bugs are you finding? I actually know more javascript than i let people believe, it's just that most of my career was coding in C, Java, and now PHP (php naturally compliments javascript) 16:50, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * the vd looks great. i'm curious could you clone the template for left alignment or maybe make a tri-state switch for it (default, left, center)? That way it could be test driven as left aligned, btw what is KIV? a quick google only found "keep in view" but that doesn't seem to fit into my dyslexic view of things. TBH full width seems fine for left justification, but centered seems to feel right at auto width. 17:51, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm having an issue with how to best format the Template:Skills for use with navbox. I worked up this version but it still doesn't seem right to me. Any ideas? 04:51, 30 November 2008 (UTC)


 * That's my sandbox 09:28, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh don't worry about that, Earthere installed the catbox 360 so it's always ready for use... 20:20, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I can't believe you've forced full width and centered, ewww. To me there are only two ways, 1) full width with left justification, or 2) centered with auto width, it just looks wrong on my widescreen monitor (unless of course i squish down the page) 20:27, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * That was weird, something must've purged the cache, sort of like my catbox 360 does for my sandbox... 20:35, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well now it looks a lot like wikipedia, now how to get it to look and feel like the RS wiki, I'm thinking it's time we develop a unique wiki style, ut oh, sounds like a project, now if only i knew more about managing projects... 20:38, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes it looks as expected now. 20:43, 30 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Definitely convert all the nave templates possible, that way when we find/develop our unique look and feel there will only be one central place to make the feel consistent. 20:55, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Achievement Template
Mind if I use the achievement template you have set up? I really like the way it looks. Billy Bomb7 23:02, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright thanks for letting me use it. I might modify it a bit so it isn't more or less "stealing" it. Billy Bomb7 23:06, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It's in the public templates O_o? I never saw it there lol, must've overlooked it. Billy Bomb7 23:15, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Many thanks, I joined the wiki a while back, got active last month-ish, getting used to all the systems and pages here (Your help is well appreciated). Billy Bomb7 23:22, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Navboxes
I've certainly added plenty of talk pages because of the wanted list, but I've fixed another template to do the same thing, and the wanted pages entry still doesn't go, so it may just be a problem with the wiki for templates modified before you made the change. 17:34, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It's the navbox rather than the template that uses it that is causing the problem as far as I can see. The wanted list gets updated roughly once a day. 17:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Signatures
Decided up on Signatures/Boilar. Thanks man LOL. --&#123;&#123;Signatures/Boilar}} 18:41, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah but I want it in the preferences as -~

Ooooh. xP Thanks. -- 18:49, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Inappropriate username
Can you tell this guy to make a new account and block his old one because his name is impersonating a Jagex Mod. -- 15:49, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Romeo & Juliet Date
How do you know that the Romeo and Juliet quest was added to the game on the 1st of December 2000? --RS Ren 22:32, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Re: Rich Farmbrough's bot status
Yeah thanks for the reminder! I left a message on Rich's talk page about it, User talk:Rich Farmbrough--Richardtalk 20:24, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

centered navboxes
For single line items it seems right, but soon as there is more than one header it does not. can you point me to what the user has done? 07:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I was the one that started that style, without a gtitle heading it looks awkward uncentred . If you'd like we could enforce a gtitle heading for each group, but seriously without it it looks awkward, I even worked hard to get it into Template:Metal item on a clean basis, Buzz was actually the one that put it into Template:Metal item and Template:Metal (item) which was mostly a hack of an implementation, which made me realise there was a need for a clean implementation. The Template:Metal (item) doesn't have space for anything but one group so I left Buzz's hack centring as it was. 07:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't see where s/he (I'm assuming Sara means Saradomin and not a girl's name) did it, but yes I agree with the standard implementation over the hack centring. 07:39, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm curious do you think we could find a way to have templates toggle between iconic navigation and text navigation? I know that many editors seem to love the icon navigation such as seen in Template:Mining but it hit me that it would be nice to give readers a chance to click something similar to the [hide] thingie so that those that prefer text could actually get that. Just a thought. 07:41, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

actually
There is a talk in my sig, it's the em-dash that's shifted over the first letter k, which means in most browers you have two places to click on it, one is at the blank space after my name where the em-dash is right-shifted away from, and the other is the em-dash sitting over the 'k' in kytti. which browser/version/platform/os are you using? 08:02, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It's actually one and the same link, just an interesting quirk i recently learned about and naturally had to try (curiousity got the again) 08:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Dream Mentor
Hi Azliq! I know you've completed Dream Mentor on lvl 93. Can ye tell me the details on what you were wearing and what food you used? Dream Mentor is one of the last 7 quests I have to complete, see my Userpage.--. 16:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay thnx man! I'm sure I will complete it this week, thanks again.--. 16:32, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Copyright!
At User:Leevclarke/Max_Bulldog the Pepsi logo is used. This is copyright, and you're an admin, so can you do somthing? Thanks  Mjs961  18:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Re:Copyvio
Well it's not the Pepsi Max logo, though it is derived from it, though the difference may be fairly trivial. You'll notice I include the disclaimer "Despite the logo near the top of this page, neither Max Bulldog nor this wiki is affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by PepsiCo or any of its brands or products. The parody of the Pepsi Max logo is used without any permission, and no detriment is intended."

The copyrights guidelines say "Copyright-violating images are subject to deletion", but since it's hosted at Photo Bucket and not the wiki, I didn't think this would necessarily apply. Although RuneScape is not a web host, guidelines there do say: "Users are allowed to add content that is not directly related to the project... If you upload an image to [Photobucket or Imageshack], you may display it in your user space by simply adding the URL to the wikitext." I guess we do technically need copyright permission or a fair use claim for pictures hosted on third-party servers. Personally I'm calling this a parody (though this may not be an accurate term), and parody can be a claim for fair use.

People display videos (for example) on their userpages, and these are hosted on other servers, such as YouTube. Surely many of those are copyrighted, and I can't believe all our users have permission to display them. I myself have the opening credits to Fantastic Max on the same page, and that's probably subject to the same issue.

I guess what I'm saying is I'm surprised anyone has singled this out. I'll remove it in the meantime (I'm not keen on causing a problem here), but if there is a policy against this then there is quite a lot more content being displayed on user pages that falls into the same category. 19:35, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure, I was just thinking from the point of view of whether this is against policy, and whether it should be against policy. ;-)  Might bring it up on the Yew Grove, though hopefully there aren't more important issues already raging.  :-D   19:47, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Re:Template examples
I agree, the page looks quite unkempt do to the various templates. We could simply remove the templates themselves and have a simple one sentence description (or something to the like) in each one's place rather than the current display.-- 20:30, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Template:PVP items

 * Take a peek at this hack. I'm wanting to find a way to dispose of the surplus " v &bull; d &bull; e "s. I tried excluding the name parameter in the subcomponents but then it shrank the titles down to the size of the " v &bull; d &bull; e "s. Any thoughts? meow? 15:57, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay correction, i got rid of the "d" part but still you'll see what i'm talking about... 16:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

For what it is navbox2 looks functional. Let me ask you this however? Is there a way for the template to know it's been/being recursed into? If so then the child portion could know to ignore the |name= parameter and use the |subgroup=yes setting, additionally if the parent was aware it could automatically set the |style=padding:0 as well. There must be a way to recognise recursion. If so then future editors here would find the navbox templates that much simpler to use. Quick example of what i'm thinking (based on the version of PVP_items you posted with only the last group modified):

If any of this is doable, then please by all means, if not, then please roll navbox2 over into navbox. Template:Rune equipment could use a cleanup from the hack i did to list the 3 types of god armours there and navbox2 would really do the trick there. 22:24, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Well i'm totally addicted to navigational templates now, i want to be able to cross reference everything (thus the reason i'm going with the more liberal interpretation of the word "Metal" for purposes RSW that is). So navbox2 looks good far as i can see. Ship it! If something isn't quite right we can always fix it later. 12:11, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Template:Mace
While going through and adding corrupt dragon items to the articles' navigation templates, it dawned on me that it would be simpler to just add a template that links the needed stuff and future edits would be much quicker (as opposed to what i spent most of this day doing, but it's okay i respawned at my usual respawn point last night and am now experimenting with sleep deprivation). The thing with this template is that it's linked to the lower nested template level for the " v &bull; d &bull; e ". Anyrate it hits me that feed through thingies would be the way to go. If you're already geared up for this then beenz kewl, regardless my curiousity will keep taking me back to wikipedia's navbox template (with it's tasty crunchy morsels) at least until i totally understand it, at which point i'll be bored with templates and find some other distraction and proceed to bat it under the sofa. 20:47, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I fixed this issue, now it will be easier to use template:metal item in a nested fashion. 22:34, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Holiday Rewards
Hi Az! A user/Ip adress called 84.45.232.36 keeps editing the Holiday Rewards page. Could you please block him, or tell him that April Fools arent Holiday events, and that the Burnt, Raw and Cooked turkey were no Holiday reward? I reverted his edits, but he keeps on readding them.--. 11:36, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
