RuneScape talk:University of Lumbridge

Proposal for CSS styles and user pages electives
I would like to add the lessons CSS styles and User Pages, both of which I would be more than happy to teach :)  20:21, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Change the color of the title
Well I think the header looks better in sky blue >.< lol, but we should change the color of the header so it doesnt look like a link -- 00:19, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Calculators in the University?
Well, I know this is FAR from being the first thing a user learns (making calculators that is) but I think it could be useful to add for multiple reasons (of course, with a few conditions first).

First of all, we could create a Ardougne University (or call it whatever you want, I just came up with that like that) subpage with all the most advanced things that aren't teached anywhere on the wikia, nor even in Media Wiki help, stuff you must dig around user talk pages to find out how to do. Now, you may say that's what electives are for but I am talking about real advanced stuff (I'm not implying that the other classes are fake though =P). What I mean by that is that both making maps and calculators are advanced (although, if you are good with paint that can pass, I just took an example from the top of my head) but I feel that calculators might just overwelm new users in the first place, so placing it on the same page might not be a good idea.

So my proposal is, that we create a subpage for advanced lessons where we could place a calculator help guide. This will not only promote calculators on the wiki (which is one of the most needed things, In my opinion) but make users see a different side of the wiki. (note: I am talking about Javascipt calculators and GEMW ones too)

PS: I am willing to create a basic page for it (which can be edited after of course, I'm not that good in calculators)
 * The goal of this wikiguild is to teach new users how to edit and be productive. If we get into real advanced stuff, as you worded it, we would effectively leave the intended purpose of the wikiguild. I do not support the idea, though feel free to persue it. 13:52, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok, I understand your point of view and when I saw electives I thought about calculators is all. Also, where do you suggest I make the guide (if I ever make it.. always seem to be missing time there days), I think it seems weird on the calculators page no? Well, maybe it doesnt... Anyway, good luck with your University!

 * First of all, not my university, it's owned by the community as a whole. You can create the calculators guide in your user-space. In fact, you can start now by pushing this button of ubertasticness. 14:11, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

I know this is unrelated, but I want a degree at this place! 14:34, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Transparency
Transparency is a badly needed elective, and it does not seem to roam too far into the realm of "advanced" stuff. I see me and about 3 other users frequently applying transparency on the wiki. If people are educated about how easy it is, we could have many more helping us out. -- 14:45, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * There could be an image maintenance class, and I have been told transparency is rather simple (though I am unable to do it myself due to lack of software). 14:51, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I could help with this. I know some great free programmes 15:24, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

While I like all the ideas coming in, remember not to get ahead of ourselves, we still need to decide on the basic lessons. 15:51, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
