Gunnarsgrunn

I tried to move (aka rename..) article Barbarian Village to Gunnarsgrunn, but this is impossible as the article Gunnarsgrunn is already used, as redirection to the current Barbarian Village article. So the moving can now only be done by an admin, as I read. In my opinion, the article's official name should be this (and not just a redirection), as the official name of the location in-game is actually Gunnarsgrunn now. Ofcourse, by searching Barbarian Village, you would still be redirected to the same (but newly-named) article.

Done.

Another thing needed: the file TownBarbarianVillage.PNG should also be named TownGunnarsgrunn.PNG (or something like that) in my opinion, for the same reasons I stated above, but I don't know how can this be done and IF it can be done. Thanks. :)

Requests for deletion

Is there a way to code the templates so that {{Rfd bottom}} doesn't have to be present unless the thread is closed? If we add it when the request is commenced, then users may not pay attention and add their discussion note under the template, which makes a headache when closing. It's much easier to have the closing sysop add the template. --LiquidTalk 21:54, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

I don't really agree, its four buttons to press to move it (ctrl x ctrl v), and that's if they don't post above the line. Its a lot more buttons to press to add the template after the fact. Also bear in mind that any users that notice that they have posted below the line will move it before it even needs to be closed. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talkSilver bar 21:56, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
See RuneScape:Requests for deletion/Gravy Boat of Saradomin. I didn't even notice that the template was present because it was so far up. --LiquidTalk 21:57, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Ctrl + F and search it next time?

Control F requires typing in the name of the template. It would be much easier just to type it in manually. I'm going to remove it from the preload, unless this will break something. --LiquidTalk 22:02, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
I agree that it was too unnoticable initially, but i recently changed the preload templates so that it has a hidden comment that says "please post above this line". In light of that, this should be much less of a problem. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talkSilver bar 22:02, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
Actually, not really. Most of those mistakes come from users who use the RTE. They don't see the template, nor do they see the HTML comments. That's probably why it's been ignored. --LiquidTalk 22:03, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
I just added it yesterday. So it hasn't had a chance to be ignored yet. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talkSilver bar 22:04, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
They see the template as a puzzle piece, nub. But they see the same same thing for our signatures. Full Slayer Helmet! Evil1888 Talk A's L Dragon Platebody! 22:07, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
I know; they're not going to pay much attention to the puzzle piece. If they ignore all the puzzle pieces for every other template we have on the page, I can't imagine why they would pay attention to this particular one. --LiquidTalk 22:09, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
I think you're being unreasonable. Not only have 3 people disagreed with you, but you are blindly assuming that most of the problem comes from the RTE users, whereas i would argue that most people who vote in RFDs have long ago disabled the rfd. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talkSilver bar 22:11, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
Furthermore a similar system has been used in RS:FIMG for quite a while now with no issues. And even if someone does post below the line, I or any other editor who does not have the RTE enabled will notice the template is not at the bottom where it should be and fix it. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talkSilver bar 22:13, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
Fine; if you really think it's beneficial, then add it back. --LiquidTalk 22:17, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
