Re:Clan Chat
The R S Wikia channel is for anything wiki-related. I'll add you to the Clan Chat ASAP; just sign here. I might allow non-recruits to join the Clan Chat when a Wikifest or discussion isn't going on. 21:28, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

nav boxem
lol, I found out how wikipedia handles the template talk link here wikipedia:Special:WantedPages (where they disabled the wantedpages feature ages ago, 23:23, 30 November 2006. specifically) and the reason why it was turned off here where it is explained that templates were "spamming" up the list (lol)  and if you're wondering why you don't see the little "d" in red on more templates, it's because in the Tnavbar template they force the colour to #002bb8 so even the redlinks look blue, roflmao. problem solved they by sweeping it under the rug then throwing the entire feature and rug out into the backyard junk heap. omg i feel like this is a southern united states thing. wait, didn't wikipedia start in florida ! omfg!! it is a southern thang!!!! goddess help us all... 00:05, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Template:ExcgTable
I finally found a fix to Template:Tnavbar. Assuming it doesn't blow up the size too much do you think we could use similar to fix all the Image:GEMH_*.png images? 00:42, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

In Soviet Russia, rules reverse you
Um, the difference is that i am forcing them to be displayed as external URLs which should hopefully avoid them showing up in the wanted pages when they don't exist. I'm fairly sure the reason such a ruling went into place is because of wanted pages clutter. So long as the preprocessors and renderers don't add them to the wanted pages list all should be okay, no? Please refer me to the discussion that led to the consensus decision; I;m fairly certain the issue was them showing up on Special:Wantedpages, the current compilation of which occurred over six hours after I made the last edit to Tnavbar, but no Template Talk pages are showing up. (I'm basically following wikipedia's lead, and since they have done similar the chances of ever getting #ifexist functional without generating wanted pages clutter is virtually nil). It's early for me I should either get coffee or more sleep. 14:02, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay i was double checking, the other thing i did different was I left out the edit action, maybe that will help. Sheesh i hope so, so far so good. 14:25, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I just backtracked into mah talk history and spotted your comment. It's not your fault that the coders of wikipedia left us an #ifexist that didn't live up to what it should have (at least in my opinion, and i'm fairly sure Uberfuzzy shares that feeling too). So far I'm not seeing them show up, and it was simply a matter of forcing the discussion link as an external link rather than internal (as far as i can tell), I would have done exactly what you did had i known of #ifexist then, and now that i do know of it, i know it's one pitfall (not an issue for wikipedia where they've just shut down the Special:Wantedpages feature (sheesh).)  At some point we might outgrow it's usefulness, but for now...  19:12, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

RE: GEMH images and "ifexist" rule
zomg, can we just upload one and insert a redirect for it? that would take less time, space, energy, and create a smaller carbon footprint. 19:04, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Good plan, if there is any issue about it we can have some friends help us with this fine decision * bats it under the sofa * 07:01, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent smithers, i'm sure he has a "clue" how to handle objections to this work around. In the meantime i want to see about bringing back the history in a text based format (hopefully bot fed). The text could then be used to generate charts if we can find a wiki extension to do that which would give us the flexibility to see the data for arbitrary time frames (just like real online historical stock prices, zomg can you imagine?)...  07:10, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I just have a quick question, is this going to introduce tons of unused images (price charts) back into the UnusedImages page after I cleaned them all out? -- 01:12, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I understand that my images will not be reintroduced, I was just wondering whats going to happen when the bot starts running and creating new images, are those going to be linked to anywhere or what? -- 21:18, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * By " my images" I was just referring to the ones I moved to my GEMH history page, I wasn't saying they are actually mine, my mistake. Thanks for clearing things up for me-  19:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Runescape MIDI's
You mentioned that you possess a good many of the MIDI's for RS's music on the Yew Grove in January. If you still have them, would you care to share them? As a musician, I'd love to look at the sheet music. I'd just collect it myself via the cache, but as you know, Jagex changed the engine and thus that is no longer viable. 02:46, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, wow, Google brought it up fairly quickly: I thought that RS's music would be fairly obscure actually, for some reason. Thanks for the advice! 23:51, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Price Checker
Hmm, indeed is a toughie, as they have two-different in-game names. Whichever you feel is more correct, I suppose. 13:25, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I glanced over the style guide, but found nothing. 13:27, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

The Listen Template
Bluesonic43 has told me that you were the one who created the Listen Template for the OGG files, and I'd like to know if it is possible to get a variation so that the box that alines left and not right, while stacking and not having text still to the right of it (if I've explained that clearly enough). 21:04, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Q & A
Reading the most recent change to the Pickaxe page, they claim the Dragon Pickaxe is claimed to be a future release. Did the Q & A say anything about that? I cannot go on the forums at work, otherwise I'd check for myself. Thanks, -- 17:01, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

The Poll
I noticed you removed the dates from the poll...I was just wondering why? The date has been determined already by community consensus, which is why I posted the date so users can look ahead in their schedule and best select a time fitted for them for that specific day. April 19th is on the poll as although the fest is April 18th, that is UTC time and for Australia it would be the 19th, so this is to deter any confusion. 19:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Style Guide has priority over preference. You can make the change. Can you please though, in the question, indicate the that the UTC Hours offered are on April 19th in Australia. Thanks! 19:39, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

 * The counter does not appear to be working to me right now. Rather than the counter being shown, it is only displaying Counter . Is this something you can fix, or is it on my end? 21:50, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Never mind, logging in, it says they are having an issue right now. I'm certain it will fix itself. 21:50, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * All I see is the link that says "Counter" but when I visit the site it works fine. I wonder what's up? I'm going to bed now though, I should be up later tonight or early morning. =) 02:48, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Any luck with the new account I made? I cannot see it at work. =( If not, let's give it an hour maybe. 16:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I e-mailed you, if you would kindly check it. =) 16:56, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I wish to provide you with the account details for the counter, as there are 3 different counter types one can use. html, java, and something else. I figured maybe you would know what to do if you had more information available. If not, that's fine. =) 17:03, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It didn't work because I'm an idiot and cannot spell. It's "gd-itronix" lol, sorry. 17:18, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Featured image nomination
Hi Az. I did review the guidlines before I added my nomination. I think the image is within the guidelines. I think it looks nice, so I submitted it. Am I missing something? This looks all right to me. 04:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Note that images are displayed randomly, not on a scheduled basis (i.e. monthly). - Ok
 * 2) Images can be added/removed from the current randomised list through a nomination process in the talk page. - Right, that's why I nominated that image
 * 3) Only existing wiki images will be included into the list. Unless the image is used elsewhere in the wiki, it will not be accepted. This is to prevent "orphaned images". - The image is used on the Fishing Guild page
 * 4) Images are highly recommended to be less than 100kb. This is to facilitate users with slower connections, and to reduce lag. The Main page is currently the most visited page in the wiki, and therefore has a hugh amount of traffic. Images larger than 100kb may be rejected to reduce load time. - The thumbnail I submitted is about 42kb
 * 5) Image size are recommended to be larger than 35x35, and smaller than 250x250 pixels. - The thumbnail is 200x137 pixels

Counter.
As you know, it's broken. I fixed a link in the common.js as apparently the account expired or something. I also created Mediawiki:monoco.js. You can read the discussion here and maybe make some sense of it. The new image links are in the common.js file. Good luck. =) 12:42, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for checking it out. Sorry if I broke anything. >.< The new link number is already in common.js though, so it should be working, yes? 15:47, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah I noticed. Let me try something else. 16:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Quest Songs
579-585 is 7 songs (579, 580, 581, 582, 583, 584, and 585). You listed 6 (Godslayer, Demise of the Dorgeshuun, But We Can Fight, Don't Panic Zanik, The Throne of Bandos, and The Chosen Commander). Which one is missing? 15:33, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I tried to count last night, I knew from the Song List XXX/585 it was seven, but I couldn't remember either. I'm not at home (can't get onto RS here) so I couldn't check myself.  Thanks for tracking it down!  16:35, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
