-== Please add borders around the different parts of the page ==
-The page looks really bad on monobook now. Please fix it or change it back. {{Signatures/Tyilo}} 11:47, April 2, 2012 (UTC)
-:The change was agreed upon [[Forum:Add Runes to Mainpage|here]], so you would need consensus to overturn it. As over 99% of our viewers (guess) would use the wikia skin, we optimise our pages for them not monobook. Also, even when I go on monobook, there are still small borders around each of the sections? {{Signatures/Sentra246}} 11:55, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

-What do you think of the revamped runescape.com site?
-I love it! New Quest Point! 7.34% (509 votes)

-It's good to have for new members, but don't force us to do it. 57.99% (4021 votes)
-Neutral. 3.91% (271 votes)
-It's just a marketing gimmick... Way to go Jagex! 12.62% (875 votes)
-They released Tutorial Island again!?!?! 12.03% (834 votes)</pre>
-It makes no sense.

-Something that would be very helpfull under every item overview (members only: yes, high alch: 100, Quest item: no, etc..) would be implementig a space where someone can see if the item, upon death will be kept in inventory, respawn at death spot or lost. Example: a wicked hood, upon death cannot be picked up at deathspot, a talisman staff can. Many people would liek to be aware of what happens to items upon death.
-:I really like this idea. Thanks for suggesting it. I'm going to add it right away.{{Signatures/Joeytje50}} 19:43, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
-== No "don't like" option in poll ==
-There isn't an "I don't like it" option, only positive or no opinion. I don't like it because I didn't make spelling mistakes often enough for it to slow down my browsing, and even when I did it just takes me to where I get now.
-:Wouldn't that just be the second option, that you liked how it was before? {{Signatures/Suppa chuppa}} 02:58, May 15, 2012 (UTC)
-:Ugh, I'm sorry. Don't know how on Earth I missed that.
-'''RE''': Could you please add to the wikia the General store prices of items! As well as the purchous limit at the GE.  I use the GE to buy items and then sell them at the General store. this would be very helpful for me. and the purchous limit could help me know what items to buy and trade to other player because of their higher street prices!
-== Auto search no longer works ==
-Auto search no longer works, e.g. the feature that (used to) work like Google suggestions. I noticed a post about this but I couldnt find it, something about creating an account and changing a preference option. I did this but it didnt fix it.
-: I noticed the same, it's disappointing to me. I liked to auto-option. Can I revert this (even for my personal account)? Btw pls sign. And thanks ;) {{Template:Signatures/Leon Art}} 13:54, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
-:: It works perfectly fine for me. {{User:Tyilo/Signature}} 15:46, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
-== SOF/Solomon's Store Opinion Poll ==
-Personally, I'm against the aspects of the SOF and the Solomon's Store that give your character real, non-cosmetic benefits in the game in exchange for more actual RL money. However, this isn't because I think it violates Jagex's own RULES - after all, is Jagex selling membership RWT? Of course not! I think its because it 1. Hurts the game, 2. Violates the PRINCIPLES that jagex used to have and 3. Is a slap in the face to all those who play Runescape loyally but are getting a disadvantage because they aren't willing to pay MORE money than they already do.
-So I think there should be another section to the poll - "I'm against it because I think it hurts the game and the principles that Jagex once had" or something to that effect.{{u|72.225.170.133}}
-:Ummm you made no sense there. ''I think it violates Jagex' own Real-World Trading rules'' encompasses them going back on their own word and harming the game; if you hate it, choose that. Membership is completely different from RWT and SGS and has always been such. {{Signatures/The Mol Man}} 02:35, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
-== You know it. ==
-This game is going to die sooner and you all know it, it got destroyed by money hungry investors.

-:Remember, this page is meant for the Main Page only, as stated in the box at the top. Thanks. {{Signatures/Hairr}} 21:43, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
-== RuneScape general informations ==
-Shouldn't the main page have at least one link to the [[RuneScape]] page? 'cause you know I never heard of this game before, and casually ended on this wiki, but it's weird to have links to all kind of monsters, items and dungeons pages, and not being able to know what this game's about!--[[User:Kombatgod|Kombatgod]] ([[User talk:Kombatgod|talk]]) 16:28, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
-:Good point. I'd do it now, but the only obvious mention of just "''RuneScape''" seems to be in text that is part of an image, which I can't really change. If someone can think of a place to put a link to [[RuneScape]] on the Main Page without screwing it up, please do. {{User:C Teng/sig}} 14:48, November 4, 2012 (UTC)
-::No idea how you say there's not one. Down at the bottom where it states copyright to runescape and jagex, it as a link to them. Might not be obvious but there is one ;) {{Signatures/Cblair91}} 05:54, November 22, 2012 (UTC)
-==Untitled==
-When I heard about RuneScape for the first time I tought it would be a Viking / Asatru style game. But instead of heathen temples there are churches and there are no rune symbols added on signs or flags. Wouldn't that be a good idea? Odin, Thor, Tyr, Freya and other gods would be happy with that. - [[Special:Contributions/62.205.118.253|62.205.118.253]] 23:35, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
-==Change back the background==
-OK, its been a good 2013, but I think its time to put back the old background.God of the Forge 15:17, January 12, 2013 (UTC)God of the Forge
-:Traditionally the background stays as long as the event (christmas, easter or halloween) is available in-game. I can't imagine the event will be around for much longer. {{User:Cåm/Signature|15:23,  12 Jan 2013 (UTC)}}
-==Oldschool Runescape==
-I was wondering if everyone in the community could help and make a part of this wikia dedicated to the new oldschoolrunescape that jagex has released, so it would be interesting if we could have information on this site regarding oldschoolrunescape so that if people needed it, just like many people use this page to get information, they would be able to do so. [[User:Bobin Hood|Bobin Hood]] 2:27, February 27,  2013 (UTC)
-I think it would be a good idea to feature a link to the old school wiki on the page as this would help people looking for information on that version of the game of which players make up about 40% of the community.<span style="background:red; border:solid #999900">[[File:Bandos_godsword.png|0x31px|link=]][[User:Ignis438|<span style="color:#999977">'''Ignis438'''</span>]][[File:Bandos_godsword.png|0x31px|link=User Talk:Ignis438]]</span> 11:37, March 2, 2013 (UTC)
-==Jad Front Page Featured Article==
-Front page still says Jad is level 702. Might want to change it? :P
-[[User:LightwielderAlpha|LightwielderAlpha]] ([[User talk:LightwielderAlpha|talk]]) 02:57, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
-:I've fixed it along with the combat levels for the Kalphite Queen and Nex. Thanks for telling us. --{{Signatures/Iiii I I I}} 04:54, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
-== Offensive Advertisements ==
-Could we get rid of the Scarlet Blade (or whatever it is) advertisements all over the website?
-They're just... wrong, and frankly offensive.
-[[Special:Contributions/58.106.8.146|58.106.8.146]] 03:43, April 10, 2013 (UTC)Noobyhead99
-:I have no idea what that is, but if you think there is an issue with an ad, see [[Help:Bad ads]]. {{User:Urbancowgurl777/Signature}} 03:45, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
-==Opinion poll suggestion?==
-Hi,
-I'd like to suggest an idea for the opinion poll. I believe the question "Which God Emissary do you support?", because it would show which factions are most/least popular ! :o [[User:Italay90|Italay90]] ([[User talk:Italay90|talk]]) 14:49, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
-==Where did you get the background?==
-I think I've seen it before, in the RuneScape handbook. I am curious.[[User:Mezincha|Mezincha]] ([[User talk:Mezincha|talk]]) 01:40, June 8, 2013 (UTC)Mezincha
-== New section on the homepage ==
-I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I think it would be a good idea to include a section on the homepage for Runescape wikia Sister Sites, such as the [http://rsplayers.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape_Players_Wiki RS players wiki], the [http://2007.runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page '07 Oldschool wiki], and the [http://runescapeclassic.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape_Classic_Wiki Runescape Classic Wiki]. That way all these sites will be connected in a way and people will know about them. I've seen this done with some other wiki's and I thought maybe it would be a good idea on this one.

-==If you want to email me==
-Use the "email this user" on en:WP.  The Wikia refuses to actually send confirmation to activate my mail link on here. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', <small>21:00 9  October 2013 (UTC)</small>.

-==Factual correction==
-Date Issue in ''Runescape ''News Section.
-In the updates for this section, it is listing the month as March for some reason even though these updates have been happening in April. My apologies for not addressing this myself and just stating that there is an issue. I do not know how to fix this issue myself, and I would not want to mess anything up on the homepage. [[User:LordMattyM|LordMattyM]] ([[User talk:LordMattyM|talk]]) 22:21, April 14, 2014 (UTC)

-==Talkheader Template==
-Hello,  Just browsing this wikia and have a question about the Talkheader Template.  How do you get it to show up on every Talk page?  I've tried to figure it out on my own, but it looks like I need some help.  Is it something that's done manually, or automatically somehow?  I'm interested in implementing it on [[w:c:brightwoodadventures|Brightwood Adventures]] wikia.  Actually, I've found quite a few things on here that I'll be doing on that site.  I'll be sure to reference this wikia with the credit for everything I copy and customize.  I always give credit where credit is due, and the work y'all have done on this wikia is spectacular.  Thanks for your time!  P.S.  I am putting the four tildes, but it keeps saying they're not there.  In case someone needs to know.  [[User:CoolBurnMtW|<font color="blue">Cool</font><font color="red">Burn</font><font color="purple">MtW</font>]] ([[w:c:brightwoodadventures:Message Wall:CoolBurnMtW|Wall]]) 22:52, July 31, 2014 (UTC)
-:AFAIK it is done manually. {{:User:Azliq7}} 22:57, July 31, 2014 (UTC)
-::According to MediaWiki:common.js, it looks like it is done automatically when someone hits the Save Page button on the Talk Page for the first time.  I decided to look at System Messages and do a Ctrl+F on the Modified messages to search for Talkheader.  Thanks for responding.  I'll be sure to give the credit to this wikia if I decide to implement on mine.  Thanks again.  [[User:CoolBurnMtW|<font color="blue">Cool</font><font color="red">Burn</font><font color="purple">MtW</font>]] ([[w:c:brightwoodadventures:Message Wall:CoolBurnMtW|Wall]]) 23:09, July 31, 2014 (UTC)
-:::It generally is taken care of manually. The automated version only works if people "Add topic" to a talk page (and this is the first topic). It doesn't work if they use the drop down menu and edit the page directly. The automatically added talkheader also ends up in odd places, such as below the section header or immediately in front of the text (without even a space or new line). All in all, it's a manual job to make sure they're present, properly. [[User:IP83.101.44.209|IP83.101.44.209]] ([[User talk:IP83.101.44.209|talk]]) 04:16, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
-:::::That's helpful.  Thanks very much for the info.  I appreciate it, greatly.  Edit:  Sorry, I just thought of something else.  Is the common.js file the only thing needed to be added to another wikia for this to work properly?  Thanks, again.  [[User:CoolBurnMtW|<font color="blue">Cool</font><font color="red">Burn</font><font color="purple">MtW</font>]] ([[w:c:brightwoodadventures:Message Wall:CoolBurnMtW|Wall]]) 05:42, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
