Changes: RuneScape:Wikifest

Latest revision as of 06:02, 26 June 2017

The Wikifest is a seasonal community event held in-game for members of the RuneScape Wiki. They are held to celebrate the wiki's progress, to help the community grow closer, and most of all, for the enjoyment of all. A wikifest is essentially an in-game festival at which wiki members can participate in activities which are traditional party events in RuneScape.

Organisation

Archives

Wikifests are organised entirely by volunteer wiki members, with much planning and preparation leading up to each one. Events were formerly agreed upon in discussions in the Yew Grove, but are now planned by Events Team members.

Event schedule

Each wikifest follows a schedule of events which is pre-organized by volunteer wiki members. The schedule may vary slightly for each wikifest, but is usually similar to previous schedules. A example of a typical schedule for a wikifest:

Event	Time
Meet 'n' Greet	0:00 - 0:10
Costume Contest	0:10 - 0:30
Hide 'n' Seek	0:30 - 0:50
Cabbage patch chaos	0:50 - 1:05
GE Cabbage Bombing	1:05 - 1:15
Fist of Guthix	1:15 - 1:55
Duel Arena	1:55 - 2:30?
Hunt 'n' Seek	2:30 - 2:45
Clan Wars	2:45 - 3:15

Moderators/volunteers

Each wikifest is managed by several volunteers who regulate the events and control them so that everything goes as scheduled. While all wiki members are welcome to participate, volunteer, and help out with planning and organizing, moderators have additional responsibilities. Moderators may perform as judges and give out rewards in contests and other events. While any user can volunteer to be a moderator, they must be approved by the current moderators.

Volunteers are not the same as wiki administrators. While moderators are often administrators, this is not a requirement to be a moderator. The only requirement to be a moderator is to be trusted and active within the wiki community.

-The '''Wikifest''' is a seasonal wiki community event held in-game for members of the [[RuneScape:About|RuneScape Wiki]]. Wikifests are held to celebrate the wiki's progress and each user's contributions to the wiki, to help the community grow closer, and most of all, for the enjoyment of all. A wikifest is essentially an in-game festival at which wiki members can participate in activities which are traditional party events in ''[[RuneScape]]''.
-The first Wikifest was Summer [[2007]], which was held on [[24 June]] 2007. The latest Wikifest was Spring 2010.

-Wikifests are organised entirely by volunteer wiki members, and there is a lot of planning and preparation leading up to each one.
-==Changes for next Wikifest==
-With the spamming fest that went on during the Spring 2010 Wikifest on the clan chat, new rules may be put into place for the next
-wikifest, where the clan chat will be muted to all but the wikia admins.
 ==Event schedule==
+Each wikifest follows a schedule of events which is pre-organized by volunteer wiki members. The schedule may vary slightly for each wikifest, but is usually similar to previous schedules. A example of a typical schedule for a wikifest:

+|Meet 'n' Greet
-===Drop party===
+|0:00 - 0:10
+|-
-[[Drop party|Drop parties]] used to be held at all wikifests, at which wiki members who have volunteered to donate items to the drop party share their wealth with the community. All wiki members were encouraged to donate.
+|Costume Contest
+|0:10 - 0:30
-However, since the change to the drop limits, [[Party Pete]]'s advertising of larger drop parties, and restriction of drop parties to only a few worlds, this is no longer practical.

+|Hide 'n' Seek
-===Competitions===
+|0:30 - 0:50

-All wikifests include some form of games or competitions. Such games could include variations on hide and seek, costume competitions or even trivia quizzes.
