[edit] Merge

I think that All (chat interface), Game (chat interface), Public chat, Private chat, Trade, and Assist should be moved here, especially the chat interfaces. Anyone typing in "Assist" would be looking for the Assist system.  C Teng ^talk 16:42, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree. It should just be one big article about all the chat features. -- Spencer ^{(Talk | Edits | Contribs)} 16:49, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

They're all part of the same interface, I see no need for them all to be divided into different articles.

I will gladly combine them all this weekend and could put in new pictures of the full screen interface, if there are no objections of course.. Just let me know when I can and I'll take care of it. =D Don't know how long we have to "Discuss" before we do what is going to be done anyways. =\

Just to be clear these are all parts of one interface. Yes the interface needs its own article since it is more than the sum of its parts. But the question remains, do the individual parts warrant their own articles? When these were created i'm sure the author had some idea of the granularity of what was being created, as such the articles should definitely refer to the "mothership" article, however i often wonder what a new user staring at the interface for the first time wonders and thinks when staring at the individual buttons. I myself might look at the button named "All", click the button and see no virtual effect, and possibly search this wiki for the word "All" since that is the only real descriptor I would have of the button at the time i was pondering it's function. Granted this is only one example of why a user might search for something ambiguous like "All". Yes most people would intuitively figure it out, but there is always the exception to the rule. ~kytti khat– 17:13, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps, though could the pages not just be redirects to the main article? That way new players searching for "All" or "Chat" or "private chat" could be directed to a page that would explain it all rather than just one small piece. 04:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

That's what I was thinking, except private chat is probably important enough to have its own article (more than All, anyway) and that it could all redirect to Chat.  C Teng ^talk 23:48, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Well once I get the go-ahead from an admin, I'll work on it. =D 03:36, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Articles should never be thought of as dead-ends. Just because they end up at a short article with a brief explanation does not mean they would just sit there and ignore the obvious (as it should be) link to the main article as i had originally suggested. If all small articles were automatically just redirected to their corresponding main article then we could eliminate all quest item related articles and just redirect those. If the concern is the length of the article name then No should redirected into Emote along with all other emotes, which i do not think is a good idea at all. ~kytti khat– 12:33, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Kytti, just look at All (chat interface). Who would care or not know about that part of RuneScape anyway? All the interface buttons I have listed are the same, except for the names of the interfaces in them.  C Teng ^talk 15:37, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I also think Clan Chat button^{Clan (chat interface) 18:46, 16 August 2008 (UTC)} should be moved here too.  C Teng ^talk 20:41, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I have to disagree. I believe that the articles should stay separated. If they merge the article will be too long. If the articles stay separated the ideas and messages would get across easier and more efficient. -- Hess36^talk 04:55, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't think those articles should be merged, however they all refer to parts of the chat interface and not to this disambigulation. ~kytti khat– 05:29, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Gump 03:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC) Well either way, I do believe that typing in 'Assist' in the search should lead to either the Assist system or the chat article. I wound up here after searching for the assist system. Gump 03:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I don't know if I reported a player right

I was helping newer players and I showed one how to make your words color full and wave and all that and when I was dune he asked me out. That really creeped me out! I meen how can we "go out" if he/she dose not know who I am what m,y gender is or if I can date I meen what if I'm 5 and my perant/garden is standing over waking me. So I wanted to report him because I not old enuff 2 1 like boys and 2 HE KNOWS WHO I AM!!!!! and I don't know who he is. and I was asked out in the really world about 3 days ago! And that boy he was creepy! I reported him underdisruptive behaver. It could be others 2.
