Template:Hiscore autoupdate

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Embed this template on your user page to enable updating of a page containing your hiscore data via QBot.

[edit] Usage

{{Hiscore autoupdate
| player	= Player name
| page		= Hiscores wiki page
| interval	= Update interval (days)
}}

Where:

• player is your RuneScape player name.
• page is the location of the page that will contain your hiscore data. If the page doesn't exist, it will be created on the first update.
• interval is a positive number giving the update interval, in days, at which the page should be updated. If missing or invalid, this will default to 2 days. Use a reasonable number that reflects how often you play, so that your stats are not being updated faster than needed.

[edit] Example

{{Hiscore autoupdate
| player	= John Doe
| page		= User:John_Doe/HiscoreData
| interval	= 2
}}

[edit] Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: The bot only adds a bunch of numbers to my hiscores page! What do I do with it?
   A: The hiscores data page contains an unformatted set of data derived from RuneScape's 'hiscores lite' page (more info). To format it and display it on your main userpage, a template such as {{Parse user stats}} can be used.
2. Q: The bot is not updating my page. Help?
   A: The bot may take up to an hour to 'see' new templates and make the first update. If nothing happens after a couple of hours, make sure you gave the correct player name and that the hiscores page is a valid page title and is a subpage of your userpage. The bot's current status is also posted on the QBot Status Page.
3. Q: How can I display the time at which the hiscores were last updated?
   A: The bot adds a revision timestamp on each update. The timestamp can be accessed by using {{User:YourUsername/YourPage|time}}. This can be changed to a readable date using the #time parser function.
4. Q: Are automatic updates permitted by Jagex?
   A: Yes, see the RuneScape forums at QFC 29-30-239-59027636. Automatic updates are permitted as long as requests are spaced at least 24 hours apart per player.
5. Q: Can I still update my hiscores page myself?
   A: Yes. You can still copy and paste the data directly from the 'hiscores lite' page using the instructions here or use a script like E-Z Hiscores. The 24 hour restriction does not apply for these methods.

Additional questions can be posted at QBot's talk page.
