==Overview==
 
Started on [[8 April]] [[2005]] by [[User:Merovingian|Merovingian]], the RuneScape Wiki's goal is to remain a vast, knowledgeable source for all things in ''RuneScape''. As the site is a wiki, anybody can edit it, and all are encouraged to do so.

The RuneScape Wiki aims to be a competitor to all major ''RuneScape'' fansites. Guides to new [[quests]] or [[holiday event]]s, for example, can be made in under an hour, far ahead of other fansites. With more contributors, this goal can be easily achieved.

==== All updates ====
 
  +
* '''7 June''' – The wiki holds the [[RuneScape:Wikifest/Summer 2008|2008 Summer Wikifest]]
* Add the update in [[Updates]].
 
  +
* '''28 March''' – The wiki's 10,000th article, [[To-do list]], is created
* Modify [[Template:Updates]] so it's linked off the front page.
 
  +
* '''3 February''' – The wiki's 9,000th article, [[Fish stall]], is created
* Add to the year page under [[Events#External History|Events history]].
 
* Add to the release [[:Category:Dates in RuneScape|date]]'s page.
 
   
  +
;2007
==== Quests ====
 
  +
* '''14 December''' – The wiki's 7,000th article is created
* Edit [[Quests]] to include the entry, and also update related information at the top regarding most recent quest, and total quest points.
 
  +
* '''22 September''' – The wiki holds the [[RuneScape:Wikifest/Autumn 2007|2007 Autumn Wikifest]]
* Write the quest guide (at this stage, don't worry about red links).
 
  +
* '''18 July''' – The wiki's 5,000th article, [[G.L.O. Caranock]], is created
* Edit [[Quest points]].
 
  +
* '''24 June''' – The wiki holds its first [[RuneScape:Wikifest|Wikifest]]
* Edit [[List of quest release dates]].
 
  +
* '''6 May''' – The wiki's 4,000th article, [[Gilded throne]], is created
* Edit [[Members#Members-only quests|Members-only quests]].
 
* If the quest provides a reward for a skill, the "quests" section of the skill page needs to be updated to include the quest. For example, [[Desert Treasure]] gives magic experience as a reward, so [[Magic#Quests]] needs to be updated.
 
   
  +
;2006
==== General updates ====
 
  +
* '''November''' – The wiki's 2,000th article is created
* If the update gives access to a new area, links and articles need to be created for that area.
 
  +
* '''August''' – The wiki's 1,000th article is created
** If the update affects an existing area, it is worth changing the location articles so that they point back at the quest - for example, [[Cold War]] features [[Ardougne]], [[Lumbridge]] and the iceberg, so Ardougne and Lumbridge need to be updated, and a new article for the iceberg created.
 
** If the update involves a dungeon, dungeon mapping should be done.
 
* Ideally, all the new items related to the update need to be added into the appropriate categories.
 
** If there is a new weapon, it needs to be added to the [[Weapons]] page.
 
** Similarly with [[Armour]].
 
* If the update introduces something new for a skill, the skill page needs to be updated. For example, [[The Fremennik Isles]] introduced yak crafting, so the [[Crafting]] page needs to be updated.
 
* If there are new monsters, they need to be placed in the [[Bestiary]] pages, and the locations pages should point to the new monsters pages.

Latest revision as of 18:17, 9 December 2018

For the defunct section of the RuneScape website, see RuneScape Wiki (Jagex).

The RuneScape Wiki is a wiki based entirely on the MMORPG game RuneScape and its many features. There are currently 44,138 articles and 98,436 files on the RuneScape Wiki, with 27,994,328 edits made to 479,106 pages in total. The wiki currently has 9 active users and 1 administrators.

Overview

Started on 8 April 2005 by Merovingian, the RuneScape Wiki's goal is to remain a vast, knowledgeable source for all things in RuneScape. As the site is a wiki, anybody can edit it, and all are encouraged to do so.

The RuneScape Wiki aims to be a competitor to all major RuneScape fansites. Guides to new quests or holiday events, for example, can be made in under an hour, far ahead of other fansites. With more contributors, this goal can be easily achieved.

This wiki has grown quickly, gaining editors on a daily basis. It contains a guide to every quest and treasure trail, and roughly 44,100 articles about items, locations, monsters and more.

How you can help

If you see anything that needs changing - change it! If you notice improper grammar, spelling errors, punctuation mistakes, inaccuracies, incompleteness or anything else that needs doing, hit the edit button at the top of the page and correct it yourself. If you speak another language other than English, you're more than welcome to help here, but helping out our sister projects (below) would be as good or even better - they need content more than we do right now.

Contribute to the various active discussions we have. The more opinions from the community we get, the better.

You can also help by doing some onerous cleaning duties - checking recent changes for vandalism, creating wanted pages, ensuring that no pages are orphans, making sure that all pages have categories, and generally reorganising information as required.

It is a good idea for users to register an account. This way, your IP address is hidden from public view, and all your edits can be attributed to one account.
