What exactly did you mean by this? 12:18, June 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * No. "Mazcab guide" is their default name. This was discovered via glitch in the NXT betas. They still display "Ranger [name]" in game when processed correctly. 12:26, June 7, 2016 (UTC)

Visual Editor strikes again
link Lol! All I actually did was update the combat lvl for Iron drags. Thanks for making your fix-edit. I just didn't want you to think it was intentional. Btw, is there a direct link to force Source Editor to show up instead of Visual when I hit Edit? I'm sure there is an automatic setting for users, but I'm wondering if I can force it with a special URI. Or, is there any way to make Source Editor the default for everyone? Please leave any reply here rather than my own page. 184.63.125.114 18:34, June 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * The visual editor is run with the url parameter . Source is run with  . You can use JavaScript in a browser extension to replace all such urls to gain access to the source editor if you are this opposed to making a Wikia account.  18:40, June 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * I know about the parameters ?veaction=edit and ?action=edit They're no different than clicking the Edit button and Classic Editor sub-button, respectively. The former is for the editor overview and the latter is to open the editor as a new webpage. I end up on Visual Editor when I click the Classic Editor and it opens the new webpage in the Visual tab. I then click the Source tab and do all my edits there. It's only pages that are too complex for the Visual Editor when the Source tab is opened by default. 184.63.125.114 19:00, June 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * Can you give me an example page to work off of? 19:02, June 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * Almost every single one of them opens up in Classic Editor > Visual tab. On the rare occasion, it will open up Source tab instead and throw an error message above the editor saying that the code was too complex or something for Visual mode. Log out and give it a try. 184.63.125.114 19:07, June 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll see if there's anything I can figure out. In the mean time, you will probably have better luck asking onei. 19:11, June 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * I know VE does that stuff automatically, single thing I like about VE is that it removed those redundant trailing spaces. :P But yeah, I knew it wasn't intentional. And it seems Mol covered most of it above. But yeah if you want to use the source editor, you'd have make an account. ;) 20:54, June 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * One of the appeals of a wiki is that I don't need yet another account to make changes. I've made it this far w/o one, so I'm going to ride it out. Adblockers and custom CSS/JS cover the rest well enough. Anyway, so long as you knew it wasn't me personally making the error, this convo has been satisfied. I agree about the trailing spaces, so VE is at least good for something. 184.63.125.114 22:47, June 14, 2016 (UTC)

Comma defenders
Thanks for standing up for the humble comma's place as a number separator. Too many people on this wiki hate commas for some reason. 09:37, June 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * I feel like the sort of people who hate number separators are the same people who'll use words like Tsar/Czar or Knife when spelling things phonetically over the phone. Or who ask their colleague how to spell your (admittedly uncommon) surname instead of just asking you. 09:55, June 29, 2016 (UTC)

RE: S after link in navbox
Would that also be the reason for the following? Recently I've noticed when going to a page that is included in a navbox and looking at the navbox on said page, the page's link inside the navbox is no longer black non-linked text, and is instead a link again with the extension ?n=[navbox title] in it. 18:05, June 30, 2016 (UTC)

Module:Variant
Consider responding to Module talk:Variant and Talk:Seismic wand (blood), in relation to this, instead of just protecting the module -- wouldn't want to scare away the guy. NZQARCH (talk) 07:50, July 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * Not sure that's inherently a good reason -- there are plenty of very high-use templates and modules that have no protection. But my concern was less about the protection and more about not giving that guy a proper explanation of the issue. NZQARCH (talk) 08:19, July 20, 2016 (UTC)

The Arc navboxes
Hey, thought I'd ask you seeing as you're the navbox guy. Do you have plans to make Waiko, Whale's Maw, and Aminishi navboxes? Or make them as sub navboxes in The Arc navbox to categorise all the things in there (in which case also merge the uncharted isles navbox in there?)? Just wondering, as The Arc navbox is currently missing a few things, and I'm not sure what the plan is :) 23:02, July 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * Ok cool. Do you plan on making them? 16:41, July 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * Awesome. I eagerly await... 16:59, July 27, 2016 (UTC)

Repeatable Quest Subcategory
Think we need to introduce a new subcat on quests for "repeatables" Gower Quest, Dimension of Disaster, and Broken Home? it would also give room for future/reworked quest. Or would this need to be some field in the quest list? --Deltaslug (talk) 02:25, August 2, 2016 (UTC)

RE:RE:peatable quest subcat
Meant like some of the Tables that are sortable. ie: price, p2p or f2p (Y/N). So you would have a column in List of quests titled "Repeatable". But guessing for 205 "No" and 3 "Yes" might not be enough atm to justify? --Deltaslug (talk) 00:13, August 4, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Templates!
Thanks! Your Navbox watch page has been extremely helpful in determining which templates to target. =D

Aescopalus (talk) 00:19, September 1, 2016 (UTC)

My goal with the collapsed groups was to keep equipment navboxes small for items that are essentially the same or treasure trail. My thoughts are that the best navboxes are the ones with consistent styles, and are as small as possible while maximizing content (see template:Staff and template:Melee_bodies from before and after my edits).

I've been implementing these collapsed groups where possible on most of the equipment templates I've been modifying - let me know if you think larger templates without collapsed groups (per your modification to template:Ranged headgear is better across the board. Presentation-wise, I think it would be best to be consistent in that decision across all equipment nav templates.

Thanks again, and I appreciate the feedback!

Aescopalus (talk) 15:43, September 24, 2016 (UTC)

Good point with all revealed or all grouped.

New proposal for the boxes: All revealed but grouped. If the state of the collapsible navbox is left uncollapsed as default, then the items won't, by default, be hidden.

On the other hand, they'll still be slightly more segregated by the grouping and will help with some of the clutter of the larger navboxes (what I'm looking to achieve).

Space
Woops, thanks for fixing those spaces! It didn't occur to me to do it myself :p 14:34, September 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * Haha, well it does look cleaner, so its good to add the extra space :) 14:38, September 8, 2016 (UTC)

Redundant (?) spaces
Oh, I always thought text being clumped together was messy and unclear. I guess I was thinking something alike space between sections and stuff. I guess it's down to personal preference, really. Or is there a style guide for stuff like this somewhere? I can as well stop doing this for the articles that I go through. Thingummywut (talk) 09:32, September 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yup, I've noticed, and thought that the existing convention was messy. Just like not having space between titles (at least above them) would definitely be messy. I'd guess the folks at Wikipedia have this stuff down well, and they use spacing in articles like Manual of Style and Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual of Style Thingummywut (talk) 09:50, September 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, just noticed that you keep reverting my spacings. I'll just stop. Sorry! :D Thingummywut (talk) 10:27, September 13, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Cresbot and hiscore?
Actually Dungeoneering broke it. It's never worked as long as Cresbot has run the task and it broke sometime during Amaurice tenure as the task operator.

The problem is as follows:
 * Player A has 99 in all 27 skills.
 * Player B has 99 in 25 skills, 120 in Dungeoneering and 98 in Invention.

Both Player A and Player B have the required total level to appear over the level required for all 99s, 2673. The also both have the required experience (as an addendum, Invention made this much trickier due to the difference in experience). To correctly differentiate Player A from Player B, we can do a individual hiscores lookup.

Due to how the hiscores is ranked we need to take minimum level as a starting point. At time of writing, there are 32,259 players with the minimum required total level. We can safely ignore any player with the current maximum level, 2715, allowing us to reduce the total required number of players by 10,788 to 21,471. Next we need to get the display names of all those accounts which we can do by scraping the HTML of the hiscores page which will give us 25 at a time which is 859 pages. Due to Jagex's anti-DOS software, we are limited to 5 pages per minute which means it would take 172 minutes (just shy of 3 hours) to collect all the required names.

Once it has all of these names, you can then query the API for each individual player. I believe TyBot waits for 2 seconds between requests, which is probably the same for the hiscores API. For all 21,471 players, this would take a further 715 minutes, or almost 12 hours. All together this is roughly 15 hours.

You could speed it up by looking up players in the wait periods between scraping the hiscores pages, which allows roughly 50 players per minute allowing the task to take about 7 hours instead. You could probably tie the 99 and 120s together to save time. Knowing the minimum required experience before looking up each player would also speed up the task as you can check that before looking them up individually. You might get that down to 5-6 hours instead.

Moving onto the F2P hiscores, the minimum required total level is 1629, which 418,363 players currently have, although you can discount all players with a level above 1650 after factoring max level of dungeoneering, which reduces that number by 408,722 to 9,641. This would require 386 pages to be looked at, again in batches of 25, taking 77 minutes, or about 1.3 hours. Adding to that the individual player lookups, which is 321 minutes or 5.3 hours, we get 6.6 hours. Again, we could probably reduce that based on experience looking at minimum and maximum, but due to the endless combinations of levels I'd be surprised if we got it down to less than 6 hours.

All together that's 12.5 hours of non-stop running, including the 0.5 hours the task currently takes, making the task take 25 times longer than it currently does. And because players keep gaining levels, it will keep taking longer with each day.

Hope that answers the question :)

Re: Arc stuff
Eh, I was a bit conflicted. I was aware of the existing templates, but I felt these 2 things (hence the conflicting feeling) Personally I feel like a solution would be to add a general link 'Birds', 'Berries' etc. But since I didn't want to make that decision I just added the todo in the edit message. Fearthe1337 (talk) 19:06, October 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * The Arc template says raw, produced resources, this makes it sound as if the list should be complete.
 * Adding all the mushrooms, berries,seeds and birds would make the template huge.

Stoneberries and Rosaberries
Sorry if this isn't really how this should be done, but I'm inexperienced at wiki editing, so this is me passing this info about arc-berries on to someone who seems to be in charge of a lot of the wiki pages on them :)

It's possible to find a map to an uncharted isle while training - for me, it happened on a serenity pillar. A chest on the island contained the standard taijitu, but also a stoneberry seed. Uncertain if these seeds are exclusive to isles found this way, but stoneberry examine (thought to be extinct) suggests it's unlikely they can be obtained any other way than in uncharted chests.

The stoneberry seed was planted alongside a rumberry seed in Tuai Leit. On harvesting the rumberry (the stoneberry is still growing), a rosaberry seed was received as well as the rumberries and seeds. Rosaberries appear to be a hybrid of rumberries and stoneberries, and this may be the only way to obtain them.

The examine on rosaberries notes that they're usually sterile, so this may be as far as this breeding line goes. The seed's been planted next to the growing stoneberries - this probably won't result in another hybrid, but since the two planters are desynced, I'll be trying exuberries alongside both next.

Hope this sheds some light on arcberries!

RE: Chromatic partyhat
Maybe I didn't explain it properly. The problem is not that the text is not clear. The problem is that the text is not needed. If the description had stated to "unlock all rewards", then the clarifying part about not needing the partyhat would be needed, but that is not what the description says. It says "purchase all rewards from Gypsy Aris." The clarifying part is "from Gypsy Aris." There's no way that statement could be confused to mean anything else if it was read properly. If the reader doesn't know which rewards are from Gypsy Aris, they can navigate to that page to find out. Moontempt (talk) 00:48, October 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * I mean, I've put clarifying information like that into articles in the past, and it was reverted for being "not needed", so now I am legitimately confused which is the proper thing to do. :) Moontempt (talk) 01:05, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Gielinor
Technically, it is, but I'd like to counter with a quote. "Yes, he's created countless numbers of them, storing them all over the place, so, soon after their discovery, the world was dubbed RuneScape. We were initially calling it Gielinor, but, like many things of importance, different people call it by different names."

About that spooky outfit.
I thought my edit sucked, cause it isn't called spooky outfit, if we edit correctly :D But I see that it doesn't matter and actually I wrote this without testing :D So, I don't know if I am right or not, but if you instantly believe me, then you did a big mistake, because I think I have said that admins should decide themselves what is right and not, because I can give fake information and you would believe it, without testing it yourselves. --Lairud123 (talk) 17:13, November 1, 2016 (UTC)

I don't know either way if the outfit was lost if you logged out or lobbied.
