Quest numbers

I noticed a few odd things with the numbering of quests.

The List of quest release dates shows 181 quests, and Elder Kiln is listed as #181, which matches the number it has on its own page. However, Within the Light is #156 on its own page and #155 on the list, because the list removed the number from Unstable Foundation. There are many other quests that had their numbers removed, and I think that aside of this causing a lot of trouble changing the pages of all quests that have been release since, it is also incorrect.

A good example is Recipe for Disaster. This was a special quest released as the 100th quest, and the page still says it is the 100th quest even though its number has been changed to #97 because one of the earlier quests had been removed, and two are no longer considered to be quests. In my opinion removing quest number 4 does not turn quest number 5 into 4, it just means that quest number 4 no longer exists in the game.

Either way a lot of quests have been incorrectly numbered. Either the lower level ones if we do change the numbering with each removed quest, or the higher level ones because of the removal of Unstable Foundation and/or Learning the Ropes. ^T_H^A_R^K_O^N 23:41, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

Template:Cquote2

I don't like messing with this sort of template, but I think it's to do with the div class at the top. The template renders on top of infoboxes, where as it used to 'see' them and render accordingly. I think it does the same with images. Cåm  10:14, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

I've since discovered it's something to do with chrome not recognising margins. Not sure if this is any help to whoever knows how to fix it. Cåm  23:12, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

It's also changed from being justified or centered or whatever it was before, and has really messed up some pages randomly (User:TyA/Administrator Review). 20:02, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

The template appears to be fixed for me. However I keep seeing people remove the template because it's rendering behind infoboxes and such. So idk what the issue is now since it looks fine to me. 18:26, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Tutors

Here is the tutor page on this wiki. If you look at the discontinued tutors section there is a list of discontinued tutors. The ones I'd like to note are Fishing Tutor, Cooking Tutor, Prayer Tutor, Mining Tutor, and Crafting Tutor. However, look at this ImageShack image I took on 6/28/2012:

If you look at the world map, all the tutors in the picture above are in Burthorpe. This was an update released a few month ago. However, the five tutors I listed in the first paragraph on the "Tutor" article have the same names as some of the new tutors pictured. Maybe the discontinued tutors can have (historical) after their names, and we could make seperate pages for the new tutors in Burthorpe. Maybe also make new pages for the Burthorpe tutors that aren't listed in my first paragraph.99 i fail 00:01, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

This issue is not resolved.99 i fail 13:12, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

We already have pages for these guys, for example the Burthorpe Crafting tutor is Jack Oval (see here for the full list). Put in the otheruses template if you want to avoid confusion Ciphrius Kane 13:18, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Well that doesnt resolve the confusion on the tutor page -- 19:46, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Citations/Footnotes/Endnotes

How to do you add citations/footnotes/endnotes to an article? (by citations/footnotes/endnotes, i mean that little ^{[insert number here]} that you click on next to a piece of information that leads you to the end of the page, where it has a link to an official Jagex source. This is used to verify what may be a doubtable piece of information.) I want to to know how to do this, because I want to correct information in a Beta: article, but I want to add the footnote or whatever to add validation to what I am adding to that article.99 i fail 01:57, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

This page explains how to do this. When you want to add a reference to an article, just add <ref>citation details</ref> after the text the citation verifies, and <references/> or {{Reflist}} wherever you want the citation details to appear. For example

Text<ref>citation details</ref>
{{Reflist}}

gives:
