Categorizing
How come when I'm adding new categories to images, it's taking the existing categories away..?? 06:58, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * it's your fail rte ^_^ 06:59, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't use RTE. 07:00, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably part of the new editor, doesn't happen for me O_o. 07:01, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * The new part of the editor where it lists categories was bugged so I typed in the categories manually in the text box. I think it's Wikia's fault, imagine that. 07:03, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Auras
Yeah, uh, I was the one who edited the Auras page but I wasn't logged in, anyway, I don't understand why you had to delete it since it wasn't in-game. ROTM isn't in game, why don't you delete that. Give me a reasonable explanation and I'll quit bothering you. I just want to know so I do not make the same mistake.

hello
Um, sure that would be fine. Of course if it's not a problem for you. And no thanks, I like my name how it is. lol.

Question
We have a whole section dedicated to the weekly patch notes released on the forums. Should we have another section dedicated to the Game Update FAQ, updating it each week? 17:48, September 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have some old webcitations of ones. I could try and find them if so. 18:45, September 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Let's do eet. 18:55, September 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * It might take a while. Webcitation was down over the Labor Day weekend and the site says some old citations are currently unavailable. That includes a lot of mine  19:02, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

That was before Platinum sites
In the last 3 months, Sal's has been catching up, and will soon have features direct from Jagex. -- PIKWIT 00:26, September 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the critique. I'll see if I can't get that fixed. Sal's has a very open community! Any other insights to add? -- PIKWIT 00:31, September 16, 2011 (UTC)

Cause you were gone
Since my Alog hasn't been updated. I'll give you the latest kill/shard before it updates. I had 270 Glacor kills with 25 shards. Which is about 1/11 I guess. 07:41, September 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I did do Glacors for over 10 hours, but not until I found my optimum set up. Just letting you know why I had low kills compared to why I said 50 kill/h. 07:43, September 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm after doing research, my max is 50 kill/h if I can do it undisturbed (Which was the case yesterday since I found an empty world). Average is more 20-30/h I suppose. My alog also updated. I have a shard drop rate of 1/9.7. Sounds about right. 07:45, September 16, 2011 (UTC)

Now we're really talking
That's a mature and sober analysis of the facts of the situation. I wish I could point to more examples of this here on the Wiki, but they are few and far between. But to get to the point: you're right, the Wiki has a far better structure of allowing editing manpower to get things done, and could easily outperform Sal's in alot of ways, but this tree-fort mentality that I (often) complain of will send people packing to other sites. P2P players are not Jagex, and do not decide P2P/F2P issues, so let's stop beating on the members who make contributions in good faith. (Ref. weighing hunter gear to unlock pages, Eye of gnome/DDD, etc., etc., etc.) Let's admit that the Wiki isn't the glorious site that Mero left you with, shall we?

When Mero left, I gave you guys some breathing room... but it's been too long to justify "new guy jitters" or whatever. Bluntly: you guys still suck like day one. Grow up. Get as many pages as you can for idiots (like ME!) to screw with. Factor in the human elements. Follow your own damn rules! Grow up!

Thank you for your well-considered response. Think about my points here just a little. Thank you. -- PIKWIT 22:54, September 16, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. -- I'm not really sure how to handle the ads issue, but I think you'd be in a much better position to negotiate the issues (and have Jagex in your corner, not a small help there, huh?) if you could solve the problems of community a bit more. "You can't get there from here" but then you don't have to be stuck "here" either, ok? -- PIKWIT 23:09, September 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm going to assume you're honestly puzzled and not jerking my chain. I used to lurk here when Mero was here, very early in my RS career. I became a quester because of the "Banana crate" page which was actually linked to the Ape Atoll page. I made a fortune in gold as a farmer (!!!) because of the Farming pages here. That and Runecrafting paid for my Construction, Summoning, and just about everything else. So, yes, the Wiki was pretty glorious.


 * The pages concerning Hunter gear (the stuff you equip and wear) were locked, because p2p kept insisting that the gear had actual weight. (Indeed, they do. Look at the pages, and then remember that I started Hunter when the gear weighed more than some pieces of armor!) The people who had the pages locked insisted that the equip window said 0kg (it does, but...) and that was that. I weighed more than 5 pieces at once, and it turns out they weigh 0.2kg. The pages were then unlocked, but only after pissing off half off the population of RS.


 * Sorry, I went into black-out rage for a second there... does the above answer your question? -- PIKWIT 23:27, September 16, 2011 (UTC)

I answered you on my page and I'll archive later (after I learn archiving!). -- PIKWIT 23:58, September 16, 2011 (UTC)

Feathers
Are you going to add more examples to this image, or is it just supposed to have one example? 22:36, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

This is a banana crate.

sorry for the size, but you can't find this on my pages? -- PIKWIT 23:04, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Hit accuracy against monsters
As you wanted, I've done some accuracy research against monsters. See User:A proofreader/Sandbox up to Test 4. All the test parameters are there. If you want more research done, leave a message on my talk page. 01:25, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Capitalizations
In the game guide, some of the aura names you're moving are capitalized. Did some policy change that I'm unaware of? 16:35, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, I agree, just wasn't sure what they were called in-game. Guess we have to wait and see for that. 18:21, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Odd
Didn't there use to be a Special: page that lists page views? 12:47, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
