GF

Good fight should be in here because it is refering to the runescape fight. Agent 22135 00:49, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Its not just RuneScape slang though. People everywhere use it. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talkSilver bar 00:51, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
The header states "The Slang dictionary is a list of informal words and expressions that are commonly used in RuneScape." It does not say "The Slang dictionary is a list of informal words and expressions that are only used in RuneScape." At this time, there are four definitions under N: Nat, Nerf, NFS, and NPC. Only Nat is used only in Runescape. In fact, you can't even say the others are used more commonly in Runescape, even though they're also used elsewhere. Should Nerf, NFS, and NPC also be deleted? (That's not a rhetorical question. It's intended to elicit the exact logic being applied here.) There are several examples that could be listed for every subpage, but I picked on N because it's 75% of the content. --Saftzie 02:37, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
Yes they should be deleted. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talkSilver bar 02:40, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
And the purpose statement of the dictionary should also be changed to replace "commonly" with "only?" So far the content still only appears to be governed by whim. --Saftzie 02:48, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
I agree with Saftzie, if it's limited to Runescape-specific slang, the definition should be changed.   Chaotic rapier  Jim  Talk  SL Slayer-icon 03:00, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
Ok I will update the description to be more clear. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talkSilver bar 03:01, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
You might wanna change this too.   Chaotic rapier  Jim  Talk  SL Slayer-icon 03:26, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
I think that page is clear enough, do you not agree? http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talkSilver bar 03:28, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
I think he means something like changing "only slang which directly relates to RuneScape" to "only slang which exclusively relates to RuneScape" (without the bold). Otherwise slang like GF, which does relate directly to Runescape, could be included. I'll make that change now. If I missed the point, it can be updated again. It's a wiki, after all. --Saftzie 06:23, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
That sounds good to me. I'm going to move this conversation to the main talk page though, since it relates to everything. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/Psycho_Robot/Sigs%20and%20Avatars/kitty.pngPsycho Robot talkSilver bar 06:36, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
