Category:Speedy_move_candidates has left many red links, it is urgent that this be looked at. All, besides the Armadyl godsword special "Judgment" on over 100 welcome notices upon talk pages, have had their links changed to the proposed names.

Could an admin move/merge :File:Runescape controls emotes skillcape woodcutting.gif animation files to File:Woodcutting Emote.gif? Thanks. Template:Signatures/Bluesonic43 01:21, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

I've been trying to do this, but there's no option to move the file nor is there any content in the file page. Ti en 01:22, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Just delete it, then move the new page? Halo^Talk 01:29, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Tried that already. Didn't work. There's no option to delete the file page (the one with the long name) either, which is just weird. Ti en 01:33, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Actually... wait a second. Ti en 01:34, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

This is by far the most confusing and annoying thing I've tried to deal with in my whole wiki career.

I have no idea what is going on. Ti en 01:44, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Chain reaction, eh? This little problem keeps adding more administrators who want to know why/how to fix this. Template:Signatures/Bluesonic43 02:54, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

It ain't done, there's still no file history. FQPRW^rwojy 02:55, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

I don't see the file history as altogether important, the request was to move the image over. C.Chiam^Talk 02:57, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Just for posterity (and Tien's time), and my opinion, this is notable.

Also, even thouugh Forum:Deleting old images didn't receive consensus, it should be noted that history is important. Template:Signatures/Bluesonic43 02:59, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Understood, I don't see it as the main focus though. It would be more trouble than this is worth to merge the histories, but I will give it a shot anyway. C.Chiam^Talk 03:00, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Chicken already contacted wikia, so it's not important anymore. IHYAI^rwojy 03:02, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

I have restored the bulk of the edits, but there are a couple of edits at File:Runescape controls emotes skillcape woodcutting.gif. C.Chiam^Talk 03:05, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

What are these links/templates for? Are they redirects to some gold-advertising site, or are they necessary? My thought is that it's some sort of obscure "clickbomb" type thing where it's basically a hidden meta-function that generates more attention in Google search engines or Pageranking. Seems to have no function when tested in a sandbox, other than some link to another Wiki in a foreign language.

Is it best to delete or keep? Fruit.Smoothie 04:15, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

I believe they are just links to pages of wikia in other languages. Halo^Talk 04:21, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, they're interlanguage links. The language in the example you gave is Estonian.

@Gaz#7521 18:09, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

So....should we keep 'em? Fruit.Smoothie 21:50, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Of course. It helps our editors who speak do not speak English as a first language, and it helps the other-language RuneScape wikis develop. No reason whatsoever to remove them.

#Expr function help?

Hi, I'm having trouble updating the trivia section and Christmas cracker. What I'm trying to do is make the first point more accurate in that it will automatically update when the GE price for the Christmas cracker updates. Currently it looks like this:

“

*In theory, if so many existed, the maximum amount of wealth a player could have by owning 2,147,483,647 Christmas crackers would be 4,611,686,014,132,420,609 gp.

”

After using the #expr function, I would imagine it should look something like this:

*In theory, if so many existed, the maximum amount of wealth a player could have by owning 2,147,483,647 Christmas crackers would be {{#expr:2147483647*{{GEPrice|Christmas cracker}}}} gp.

When I preview this, the following error message comes up: Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character ","

Why? I've went to the Christmas cracker exchange page and removed the commas. Why am I still getting this error message? Please and thanks for your help. User:Lil diriz 77/Signatures 06:01, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

Eh, {{GEprice}} has commas automatically. To remove them, use {{GEPrice|Christmas cracker|n}}. Anyway it doesn't matter, as the number is too large and therefore is expressed in scientific notation: 4.6116860141324E+18, and I don't think it can be forced to expand it. XJWP^rwojy 06:20, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

The person who originally wrote that trivia point seemed to expand it pretty easily

(of course, I may be wrong, and they may have been incorrect <_<). Ah well though. It's not a big deal. Thanks, this can be removed/archived now. User:Lil diriz 77/Signatures 06:22, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

On MediaWiki:Functions.js, the line that reads

        try { return decodeURI(matches[1]); }

should read

        try { return decodeURIComponent(matches[1]); }

. ⁓ Hello 71 23:19, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

Question: Would anyone happen to know why the "Add category" button doesn't show up on files in the File: namespace? It shows up when in edit mode, but when simply looking at the page, it seems to have disappeared.

The button is still shown on mainspace articles, example at "Zaros", however, it is not shown on file articles, example at File:Zaros speaks.PNG.

Purging the page does nothing. Is there any way to make the button show up again? User:Lil diriz 77/Signatures 05:30, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

I have a feeling it only shows up on mainspace pages, though I might have that mixed up with something else...

@Gaz#7521 12:18, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia has moved the add category bar from the page to the edit window in every namespace except the mainspace. This is not something that can currently be reversed, you'll just need to edit the page to add categories. Ajraddatz _Talk 13:17, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well that's a shame

. I remember a time when the button was on all namespaces, and that was not that long ago

. I guess it's recent. Thanks guys, this can be archived now. I'll deal with it

User:Lil diriz 77/Signatures 23:11, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Could someone please change Template:ExchangeItem to use {{GEMWHelp}} instead of {{ExchangeItemHelp}}? This is per Forum:Reforming_GEMW_instruction_templates. Thanks. This can be archived after. Please leave a message on my talk page once this has been done. User:Lil diriz 77/Signatures 00:18, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
