[edit] Re: SmackBot

Can you give me an item that my Bot has updated that was already updated by AzBot? The reason I ask is that my Bot should only update items that do not have the latest price. However, it is possible that is has been updated because the price has already changed again on the GE.

As for the detection of the hard limits, all my Bot is doing is comparing the Market price against the Minimum and Maximum prices. If it matches either, then it's either Junk or Anti-Junk (depending on which it has hit).

The hard limits are interesting, not only for knowing what the junk items are, but also can help detect vandalism of high alch values. An item is not allowed to drop in price more than 400 coins below the high alch value, so if the high alch profit table shows more than 100 or so coins profit (assuming nats are around 300 coins), then it means that someone has probably vandalised the high alch value or the price.  Amaurice ^talk 09:48, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

I guess it depends on definition of a price being up to date. Because my Bot uses the current item price, it may update an item that was updated earlier in the day (for example, Exchange:Yew logs) if the price has changed on the Grand Exchange. Given the discussion about the Bot, I might make it that it also automatically updates items that have not been updated for more then 7 days, even if the price does not change. This would avoid the need to have a special "full update" mode.  Amaurice ^talk 10:00, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

I think your suggestion of a minimum time is a good one. I've updated the Forum:Proposing AmauriceBot for GE updates to reflect this. So under 6 hours it will only update if more than 50% out (in case of vandals).  Amaurice ^talk 10:38, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Just to let you know, my method for detecting junk and anti-junk cannot safely detect junk for items in the value range 1m to 1.9m because the bands of 5% could cause the min or max to be the same on the GE web pages as the price. For example, if the price was 1,140,000, then the min would be 1,083,000, which would both be shown as 1.1m. This problem does not occur for the prices starting at 1k, because the full price is shown (no k) until 10k+.  Amaurice ^talk 17:48, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Puffer hat

Could you upload a new version of File:Puffer.png without anti-aliasing? It's easier to apply transparency that way. --Iiii I I I^Talk 15:40, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Roasted chompy?

Hi. The GE shows two kinds of cooked chompy: This one and this one. I know how to cook the ogre kind. But how do you cook the roasted kind? I saw that you uploaded an image of the roasted one here , so I am hoping you might know. (I think the name is wrong, by the way. I believe this is an image of the roasted one, if you compare it to the image on the ge.) Thanks for your help. Horsehead ^Talk 01:04, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

LOL! Thanks, but I don't need help hunting or cooking chompies. I've cooked 30 of them this week, on Rantz's spit and on a fire with a spit, and they all come out as the Ogre kind. I've tried on ranges, on the fire at Jiggig, even on the fire at Oo'Glog. They all come out the Ogre kind. I was just wondering if you remembered how you cooked the roasted one. I'll keep looking if you don't remember. The good thing is, I've earned a chompy hat from Rantz through this. What I suspect is, Jagex has removed the roasted one from the game but not changed the GE to reflect it. I've had a buy in on the roasted one for a week, and it's not coming in.

[edit] Quest Series

Hey, sorry for the slow response. Thanks for bringing the quest series articles up; alot of them could definitely some work. I'll be sure to take a look at those and contribute where I can. :) Morian Smith 23:36, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Removing vandalism from GEMH graphs

Hi,

Is it possible to remove vandal price edits from the list of prices, so that they won't be included in the graph?

Otherwise some graphs might spike or fall when they shouldn't be doing that. Oli4burggraa ^Talk 09:41, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

This one seems unlikely to me. He made the last price 1k. Oli4burggraa ^Talk 14:08, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

I think I haven't. Thanks for clearing it up. I'll keep an eye on the graphs! (by the way, are you God Az in-game?) Oli4burggraa ^Talk 14:52, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Then I saw you at the fest Oli4burggraa ^Talk 15:59, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Mistakenly Edited template

First time using this and you seem an expert. I mistakenly edited the template for the userbox Champion Challenge. I was attempting to get it to show my total of 5 and saw edit link at bottom of my user page. I removed the {{{1}}} Was going to try and reverse my mistake but thought I'd better leave it alone rather than possibly compound my error and let someone who knows what their about fix it. —Blaise1964 (talk • contribs) forgot to sign this comment.

[edit] Wanted - Dead or Alive:

The cause of the four Statius images which have been on the Special:WantedFiles page for a very very long time, despite being completely unused.

Last seen: Nowhere, but reports indicate that all 4 images were at one time used on Template:Infobox Set/doc. They were all removed but this remains a location of suspect.

Known accomplices: Beats me, perhaps your mother?

[edit] Avatar of Creation

How should I re-nominate the transparent version of the Avatar? Should I upload it under a new name? --Iiii I I I^Talk 17:07, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] State

On Wikipedia:Template:Navbox there is a 'state' parameter. Is it possible to add that to this wiki? 03:57, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Something probably 10000 times harder: is it possible in Template:Charm_table to make the edit link go to whatever section the table is in? I want to know if something like that can even be done, but I understand if it's impossible.

Rwojy

01:18, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Actually that might be exactly what I need. My idea is to create a new parameter called secname or something, and whatever that name is, it will cause a link to that section, but I don't really understand parser functions, as used by the wiki.

Rwojy

08:11, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Well, then, couldn't we create a subtemplate where each number refers to name, like: 1=Charms, 2=Charms (Pay-to-play), etc?

Rwojy

08:17, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

That's kind of what I was originally asking, is there a way to determine the section it is in? (As I said before, I don't really understand the mediawiki software, but I do have a level of understanding in programming)

Rwojy

23:15, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Something else: How do you make a parameter not show up if there's no information for it? On Template:Infobox_mines, the aka parameter won't be used all that often, and I was wondering if there was any way to hide it.

Rwojy

05:15, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Can you tell me how to make parameters optional? I would like to know how, as it seems very useful.

[edit] Categories

You seem to be the greatest source of knowledge for all the background workings of the wiki that I am completely ignorant about. This is something that I have boon wondering about for a while: Is it possible to create a "special:" page for the articles that have the least categories?? I get the feeling that the response will be that wikia have never created such a page. Thanks! _{Evil Yanks} ^talk 08:43, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

That makes sense. I planned on in some time in the future to categorise most things on the wiki much better. I thought that knowing which which pages had the least categories would be a good starting point, though it seems that it would be easier to just press the random page button. Thanks again _{Evil Yanks} ^talk 02:54, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Blocking tips/help

The IP 89.207.208.1 through 89.207.208.11 (and maybe beyond, I stopped at 11) has been vandalizing the wiki at random odd times for over 2 and 1/2 years. Is there a way to just block the whole range for a year or two? Its all minor but its obvious also that we will be a recurring target for this nugget.--Degenret01 12:29, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hello!

I tried Special:Export/Import. It only imported half of the files, and then it said: "the page cannot be displayed". I tried to import over 1000 files, does it mean I have to import 100 files, then another 100 files, then another 100 files etc. Will it work then?

[edit] AzBot

Hi Azliq. I was going through the Wantedpages and I found this edit which was done by AzBot which messed up the Exchange page while updating it. I figured you'd know what to do about it. C.Chiam^Talk 07:01, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
