[edit] RE Re:death

this bit

Once you're in the Guthix cave, go east, climb down the short drop, and continue on to Juna. Juna will tell you to collect 20 tears which will restore Zanik to life. This does not count for your weekly Tears of Guthix game, and it gives you no experience. A cutscene will follow. Johannus, Sigmund, the HAM Deacon, and a Senior Guard will talk about building a drilling machine at the Lumbridge water wheel, causing the swamp caves to flood.

[edit] stats

thanks for the help. i kinda cloned your set up witch i assume is the right way of doing it. but the diffrence is i put the auto update code on my hiscores page, and i was wondering if that was okay.

also on the stat input page thats used for music and quest points im not sure i got the time part of the code right.

as for the combat level i was wondering if i could use the combat template to auto calculate the combat level + summoning lvl. or to auto calculate just my combat level without summoning and have a + and calculate just my summoning anyway so i dont have to update it and only have a template code on my stat input page.

i was also wondering why on the stat page why the code seems to repeat. and i dont mean the level and xp part of the code i understand that but it has two "#switch" codes.

and can you show me an example code for each minigame that is ranked that i think would go on stat page.

again thanks a bunch, if theres anything i did wrong let me know and ill try to correct it or let you do it. all of the pages for the stats can be found on my sandbox

[edit] stats

well i mirrored your method because you don't have to have the template your user page, you just link it. i like that cause it keeps the code smaller and easier to read.

the user name showed anytime i have the autoupdate template code above the template code that links to my infobox. i didn't want the HS autoupdate template code on my user page cause i didnt want to the user name to show cause it shows blue and i don't like that. but i didn't try it at the end of the page like you have it. so that works out.

where you said:

"On the stats page, every time you update it (for the time to be most accurate) you should replace time=whatever with time={{subst:REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} - {{subst:REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} seems to be replaced by random number when saved - its actually the time of the last edit in the format YYYYMMDDhhmmss, which #time: converts to something more readable."

i attempted to correct this but then i was wondering do use "{{subst:REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} - {{subst:REVISIONTIMESTAMP}}" or just "{{subst:REVISIONTIMESTAMP}}" so that has me confused.

"When using the setup you have, {{User:Lawrence735/Stat|Totxp}} outputs your total experience (); {{User:Lawrence735/Stat|Totxp|sep}} outputs your total experience with commas after every 3rd number from the right (, the number is 'formatted'). This is pretty much the same as: {{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stat|Totxp}}}} - if you're happy to use that way then you can wipe off most of the code on the stat page."

im not sure what you mean but if you don't mind ill let you correct that. other wise its fine.

im also having a problem with my infobox page you can see why when you first go there. can fix this for me? that would be great! and thanks for correcting the code you have and thanks in advance if you correct any more.

i would also appreciate it if you could check my stats input page to make sure im useing the combat code right

[edit] stats again

• i replaced my old time stamp with {{subst:REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} myself so thats fine.

• as far as the |sep}} code i don't plan on using it out side of the infobox or goals. so if you could clean that up.

• if you could add the minigame support to the infobox or create for them that would be awesome!

• thanks a bunch for fixing the combat level. i couldnt figure out why it was wrong with it. :]

I'm fine either way, really. Now that you've restored my faith in templates, I have another suggestion, albeit a small one: Make a template that divides by 0 and produces a real number as a result. Or, failing that, could this {{T|ToCLeft}} template be adapted to a {{ToC|Left}} {{ToC|Right}} thing that defaults to "left" if no input or invalid input is provided? I've used the ToCLeft template on a few articles and I think it really improves the page layout in some cases (like Crafting I believe)  Psycho Robot Talk Cont  17:14, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I haven't replied to your post/come back to the wiki as promised. I'm kinda overly busy and RS is unbelievably good at time sucking, so I probably won't come back in the near future. I'd love to keep updated on the calcs though, see how javascript boosts them along an all. Oh, and if there are critters that seem to drop randomly sized piles of shizzle, I guess we could just write that down on the table and record their drops the old fashioned way. My results were somewhat polerized, As in double maths A2 and physics AS, and a E in chemistry and a D in philosophy. But retakes will sort all that out, how did you do?, good luck getting those calcs all going..

[edit] Question/Advice

On the page RuneScape:Votes for deletion/File:File-Noobcalling.png, when I offered my genuine opinion, Chiafriend12 said: You know that we have an article with "bitch", "fuck", "shit", "penis", "cunt", "nigger" and "anal sex" on it, right? We had a vote where we decided that we, as a community, liked to eat kindergarteners and wouldn't worry about offending people. :P I am afraid that I do not quite understand his point, though I am a little disturbed by this, and, well, by him. I don't know this user well, but I've met rather few players on RuneScape would use such language. Jagex has become more lenient, of course, but I advise him to be more careful, because its rules still hold firm and remain mostly unchanged. I mean, yeah, everyone curses once in a while, but, like, calling someone a 'nigger'? That's just racist, if nothing else. Is he suggesting that he could call someone that, go all 'lmao', and get away with it? Isn't using such language to an extreme or threatening point, nearing that of unlawful nature, even online? Like, seriously, "eat kindergarteners"? Wtf? What kind of sickening person is he? I'm really sorry if I'm going a little too extreme, but even on the wikia clan chat, which I participate in, I rarely find users so...disgusting. Maybe it's just me, maybe I just don't know him that well, but,...I don't know... I mean, it just seems childish, if nothing else, for him to voice such a response just for the deletion of an article, just because I said, yeah, we should delete the image? I rather think it odd for him to be an administrator, no matter how many edits he has here, if his behavior becomes disruptive. P.S. I have read read the Swearing Forums on the Yew Grove, and I am, in all honesty, almost saddened that Chiafriend would use that to defend his own words. I mean, it was concerning the pointless image, not about him or whatever he says here...but still, he found it fit somehow to add a few more additional words directed at someone he never met. I just find that...strange. Please respond shortly. Thank you, Ralnon (talk) 22:27, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

P.S. I have read the many Yew Grove forums on swearing here, and I am a bit surprised that we would even argue over a matter as petty as this. Well, look, Gaz Lloyd, maybe it's because I'm a new user here, but I still just don't feel comfortable, even less so after reading the whole thing. Please, can you give me some advice on what to do? The whole thing concerning that...and this, is just something I've never really encountered on a wiki before, and for that I am somewhat confused. I mean, I'm just not the kind of person to go all, 'yeah, let's all go eat kindergarteners, lmao'! Are, like, all of you just used to this and that's why none of you seem to mind much? I just don't know... Thank you, once more, Ralnon (talk) 22:27, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see, Gaz Llyod. But why the part about eating kindergarteners and the whole bunch of curses in the first place? Was that, like, necessary? That is just immature, in my opinion. Yes, no matter what he thinks about me, I think I know what a swear-word is, so... :) No doubt you have known him long and highly respect him, yet the same cannot be said for me. Nonetheless, his examples of the word, nigger is especially offensive to me, as was his Emoticon at the end, hinting that he seems almost amused, in a way. I shall conclude my thoughts with this: What should I have done? And was I to blame more than he? Though you and he may be administrators here, I myself would never permit the use of such language here, at least, or, rather, especially, in an online environment. I realize that perhaps my reaction was more angry than necessary, but I really was somewhat surprised and confused then. Thank you, Ralnon (talk) 23:21, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Well, as the user in question has not even responded yet to Caleb's message, I rather doubt that even if I freaking want to talk with him this moment, that he would respond. I really didn't want to raise a big issue of this whole thing. I mean, look at what the swearing forum (or forums) caused, lol. You still didn't explain well, Gaz: Does that mean I could fill my messages with all the profanity I wanted to if they were not specifically directed towards you? It was, of course, not necessary at all to come to you, as perhaps better measures existed then, but neither was it so for him. Doubtless my limited number of edits and my plain signature made him believe that he, as an experienced administrator, would say whatever s*** he wanted to me and not care. This isn't really allowed on RuneScape, itself, you know, no matter what changes they have made to their chat filter in the recent months. Look, I know its just getting seriously f***ed up to ramble on about something as awkward as this, but if you guys aren't at all offended, then why ban the vandals who insert those words into random pages? This is just hypocrisy, yo... besides, you're only one of out of like, two or three users, I've asked about this, I seriously think a few others might be of more similar opinion as mine. For instance, how were the forums about Wikia Swearing brought up in the first place? I had nothing to do with it, yet there were still many users who argued about the matter, and many forums about it. I seriously cannot deny that I am feeling a little embarrassed, to be honest, even as I write this, about the fact that I know such people at all, but note that at least I have tried my utmost best in my spare time to contribute to this wiki however I can, and that I at least have not cussed out at you here, although you may truly be laughing out loud for some reason if I do. Besides, why were the blocked administrators of this wiki blocked at all, if not for issues bordering on those similar to this one? I ask you, Gaz, to help me this one last time, if you are yet willing. Thank you, Ralnon (talk) 21:05, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Indeed? Well, I certainly would understand it if he lacks Internet access, as I have been in such a situation many times in the past, but from his edit to Pearl bolts at 23:49, October 27, 2009, which is some time after Caleb's message, I believe that he may really just not be keen to speak with me, either. Certainly you may consider it a terribly small offence, in comparison with his numerous edits, but I was particularly offended by his comment. At first, for instance, I just did not understand the "eating" kingergarteners part, and Psyko Robot's later explanations only disturbed me more, actually, as I did not really understand his words either, though the I was really unsure what to make of the context,as such thoughts had not quite occurred to me. Despite his bizarre attempt to make humor from such words, perhaps I would considerably less insulted had he not added the term, nigger to his long string of curses, which he apparently deemed to merit great amusement for us both. I am most grateful for taking the time to try to explain to me this situation, Gaz, but I fear I must be more direct this time: Such language used in, like, a non-cyber environment, in the real world, in other words, may truly lead to situations that would doubtless prove difficult to defuse, even, I fear, to one with the powers of a wikia administrator. I will not indignify us both by stating my own ethnic roots, but that is only because I think doing so would be exceedingly pointless and even irrelevant, at least in this case. Nonetheless, I am confused: Could I call anyone here that and get away with it as well? Is such open racism an example of a personal attack, and may merit some counter-action? I have already said that perhaps I was wrong to take the measures that I did after reading those words, and others should have been considered, but they are still not out of the question even now. Llyod, seriously, like, what the hell was his point? It was about a freaking image, not about what words were censored and not censored here. His messages there were quite irrelevant to the discussion, at the least, and I feel that they do not belong. I am of course now aware that this is indeed not RuneScape, but I beg you to shed more light on this, if you will, my friend. Again, I apologize if I have sounded harsh, but I truly do feel somewhat offended and confused at his meaning. Thank you, Ralnon (talk) 20:47, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Very well, Llyod, I shall take your suggestions into consideration. I am grateful, however, that you at least understand the need for more users to evaluate this issue. If I have sounded somewhat blunt, I ask for your pardon, but let's just say I have seriously toned down my own thoughts on this matter, and I have tried to resolve this issue as civilly as I can. At the very least, even if this entire issue should be completely forgotten, surely such comments, even if (and I place emphasis on if) they are completely valid, are not relevant to the topic of deleting a mere pointless image? As I have said myself many weeks ago on one of the few forums I participated in, I truly am not a generally social person (at least on this wiki). I tried to contribute more to the community, and look at where it got me. Insulted. Ridiculed, actually. I don't need his help to understand the wiki rules and policies better, and even if his help should have been appreciated, at least some parts of it were sure signs of rather uncharacteristic immaturity for a sysop, and should be left on a talk page more suitably than on a community discussion focused on merely the deletion of an image? The very point of that page was to put in your input and opinion, not to arrogantly list a group of seriously offensive curses and basically say, Yeah, lol, as a community, we like to eat kindergarteners, wtf's your problem? Do I find the word 'noob' offensive? No. I certainly don't waste my time using such childish terms while I have better thing to do (like, seriously, if I called someone that in real life, then that's just...you know...), but I don't think it's strong at all, actually. And I don;t think he thought is so either, just kind of pissed that I would think new users would possibly get offended. Though I wanted to try something else to help resolve this matter, I shall be content now at least with your own suggestion. However, as I do not spend much time here (and now even less so), it may take several days to put my thoughts together for a community discussion.

So I figured I'd drop another can of worms in your lap for you to sort out, dissect, and re-assemble into some kind of horrible giant Frankenworm. I figured I should stop being lazy and implement the whole citations thing, as the thread has been inactive for a while and no opposition has come up. I figured for the implementation there could be templates for parts of the website which need to be cited. I was thinking one for each of the following: the forums, the Game Guide, dev blogs, news posts, postbags from the hedge, and god letters. They would all be pretty much the same, and from what I know about templates, fairly simple to make (I just don't know the syntax...)

{{CiteForums|post author={{{author}}}|url={{{url}}}|thread title={{{title}}}|post date={{{postdate}}}|date=~~~~~|reference name={{{name}}} }}

<ref name="{{{name}}}">{{{author}}}. [{{{url}}} ''{{{title}}}'']. {{{postdate}}}. RuneScape Forums. Retrieved ~~~~~.</ref>

{{CiteGG|url={{{url}}}|article title={{{title}}}|section title={{{sectitle}}}|date=~~~~~|reference name={{{name}}} }}

<ref name="{{{name}}}">Jagex. [{{{url}}} ''{{{title}}} - {{{sectitle}}}'']. RuneScape Game Guide. Retrieved ~~~~~.</ref>

{{CiteDevBlog|author={{{author}}}|url={{{url}}}|blog title={{{title}}}|blog date={{{blogdate}}}|date=~~~~~|reference name={{{name}}} }}

<ref name="{{{name}}}">{{{author}}}. [{{{url}}} ''{{{title}}}'']. {{{blogdate}}}. Developer Blogs. Retrieved ~~~~~.</ref>

{{CiteNews|author={{{author}}}|url={{{url}}}|news title={{{title}}}|news date={{{newsdate}}}|date=~~~~~|reference name={{{name}}} }}

<ref name="{{{name}}}">{{{author}}}. [{{{url}}} ''{{{title}}}'']. {{{newsdate}}}. RuneScape News. Retrieved ~~~~~.</ref>

{{CitePostbag|url={{{url}}}|postbag issue={{{issue}}}|postbag title={{{title}}}|date=~~~~~|reference name={{{name}}} }}

<ref name="{{{name}}}">Jagex. [{{{url}}} ''Postbag {{{issue}}} - {{{title}}}'']. Postbags from the Hedge. Retrieved ~~~~~.</ref>

{{CiteGodLetter|url={{{url}}}|god letter number={{{number}}}|god letter title={{{title}}}|date=~~~~~|reference name={{{name}}} }}

<ref name="{{{name}}}">Jagex. [{{{url}}} ''God Letter {{{number}}} - {{{title}}}'']. God Letters. Retrieved ~~~~~.</ref>

Ok! All of that is in perfect MLA format as best as I can apply it to RuneScape, although if you have any ideas for changes, feel free to make them! I think RS:IAR applies to MLA rules too I hope I haven't overwhelmed you and that I've done 90% of the work... also feel free to refuse if its too much work.  Psycho Robot Talk Cont  02:52, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

You're crazy. Just admit it and it'll make things much easier. Now then, two quick questions: You have <ref{{#if:{{{name|}}}| name="{{{name}}}}}">, and from what I know about templates (not much) this means that if name is not defined, the last quotation mark is still included. Am I correct? And if I am, can it be fixed by putting <ref{{#if:{{{name|}}}| name="{{{name}}}"}}> instead? Second, is it possible to strip the ~~~~~ of its time so it only has the day month and year?  Psycho Robot Talk Cont  15:57, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Excellent >_> I had a crazy idea a while back... what if we made a category of pages with references in them, and order them by the last retrieval date (we can change to Verification date...) and if references get out of date, we could go to the pages, verify that the references are still valid, then delete the old date and add ~~~~~ again! It'd be just like Category:Grand Exchange by date updated but for verifying references! What do you think?  Psycho Robot Talk Cont  19:06, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

 *cough* slight problem... I tried using one of the templates in the citation guide and it didn't work that great >_> apparently the ref tags don't work if they're transcluded... Is there some way we can make them work, or are we going to have to use them outside the template like the current citation tags?  Psycho Robot Talk Cont  19:41, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I like the "added once its older than a month" idea fine. However the forums wouldn't really be relevant since those would all be cited using webcitation.org. Now that I think about it is there any way we could detect references that contain "services.runescape.com/m=forum"? Then we would have a list of all thread references which need to be archived.  Psycho Robot Talk Cont  20:02, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Those all sound like fantastic ideas! I'm not quite sure how to implement them though >_> Also, am I allowed to create a project page for this, like RuneScape:Citations, or is that somethign I've to get consensus for on the Yew Grove?  Psycho Robot Talk Cont  23:05, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

I've created this page to test out the templates. Each template is repeated with every possible combination of inputs so we can see that it handles each case gracefully. Don't worry, it didn't take as much work as it looks like it did!  Psycho Robot Talk Cont  00:53, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

We're taunting you Gaz.... tauntinig yooouuu.... {{{{{{ }}}}}} {{{{{ }}}}} 01:11, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Excellent work, you almost fixed every problem! Just one last issue remains - in {{CiteGG}}, when a url and an article title, section title, or both are specified, it cuts off the first word. Examples of this issue are in the test page.  Psycho Robot Talk Cont  02:14, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Mua ha ha ha yes... its all coming together... HOWEVER! I have one last template request (but this one should be super easy):

Input:

{{NamedRef|{{{1}}}}}

Output:

<ref name={{{1}}}/>

Secondly, how do I add in the category determiners? Just paste them in after the last }? Also, upon seeing the citation list in the test page, I'm starting to think that perhaps linking the citations isn't the best idea, cos if someone cites a bunch of forum threads, then RuneScape forums will be linked over and over. Also what if someone cites the forums on the RuneScape Forums page? It'd be turned bold, right? I'm thinking that in the end, people who look at references (lets be frank, not many people will) are already gonna know what Postbags form the Hedge are, and even if they don't, the source would always be alluded to in the page itself, like "Jagex said in the Forums that blah blah blah", thus rendering an additional link in the actual reference page unnecessary. What do you think?  Psycho Robot Talk Cont  19:27, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Maple logs placed on Marketplace

Hi Gaz,

How many of these do you currently have? I'm looking to buy maybe 20k+ (going to be using 2 make junk =P). I'll pay max in trade. Contact me on my talk page or ingame (username Antfany). I'm usually on at about 6pm gmt most nights during the week and most of saturday and sunday.

Cheers F1nch88
