Talk:RuneScape

If Runescape is an Internet game, like you say, please put it in the Internet Game Walkthroughs category. I'm unfamiliar with the game, so I wouldn't know what site to put it under. - SamE 22:50, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)


 * It is an MMORPG. r3m0t (cont) (talk) 06:21, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)


 * If it's a free online game, typically it should go there, otherwise it should stay. - SamE 12:58, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)


 * Removing transwiki header. This is one of six books listed in the online games section of the library.  See Everquest for another example.  It is a subscriber based game.Jonathan888 14:54, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

TransWiki?!
Just because there is another wiki, should we use it? This Wiki is for Quest Walkthroughs and Skill guides/hints. Wikicities are a completly different thing from Wikibooks!!! --Nathan8225 01:16, 1 August 2005 (UTC) PS contributors please sign contributor list


 * Really? Please compare Skills & Skills, Quests & Quests and Bestiary & Runescape monsters...
 * You can see this is an unnecessary duplication of effort. Azertus 14:50, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Do not transwiki - It is true that both RuneScape into wikicities:c:runescape use GFDL, but comparing Community Portal and wikicities:c:runescape:RuneScapeWiki:Community Portal show that the two projects have different policies. For example, only Wikibooks enforces Neutral point of view. (Some other Wikicities have it, for example wikicities:c:mac:WikiMac:Neutral point of view.) The Forking policy specifically excludes forks where one fork is not on Wikibooks. Further, Transwiki is only intended for Wikimedia projects, and Wikicities is not a Wikimedia project. (Though it does use MediaWiki, which is different???) Kernigh 00:28, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Untrue. Transwikification is permissible between any two wikis that use the GFDL. Uncle G 20:45, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Spoiler Warning?
Would it be wise to place some sort of warning, saying of possible spoilers in the quest guides? --Typhin 16:41, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Added... It's common sense though so not sure if it'll be left alone --RBlowes 15:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Is Pita Bread Bread?
In the Cooking Guide Does the pita bread go in the bread category? how do you make pita bread? I can only find Level and HP on Pita Bread. --Nathan8225 22:36, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah it goes under the bread category, I'll add information to it now if it hasn't already been added. --RBlowes 15:18, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Members RuneScape quests
Don't known if you're interested, but Members RuneScape quests on Wikipedia is being voted for deletion. -Blimxt 00:10, 10 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I believe that's because it's being covered here. They're going to replace it with a list anyway. --RBlowes 00:05, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I have fixed almost all the free quests now. I'm not a member, so someone else has to do the member's quests. --Richard x

"Used with permission from JustRS"??
Some of the quest guides, like the Tree Gnome Village guide, says that it is "Used with permission from JustRS". Also, it tells that you MUST give credits to JustRS if you copy the guides. I don't know much about the GNU Free Documentation License, but is this legal, following the GFDL? Or can users now use the guides as they wish since it's now released under GFDL? -Aliensvortex 18:28, 10 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Hm... I think that's a violation, because it's still copyrighted technically. I think you have to actually ask JustRS for permission to release it into the free domain for editing and such anyway. So I believe it's conflicting there... --RBlowes 00:08, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * It is both legal and obligatory to credit the authors of any GFDL-licensed work; see GFDL section 4, letters B and I. Maybe some lawyer can find a technical problem between the GFDL and the license of JustRS, but I think that it is okay to have a requirement to credit JustRS.


 * I think that there is a misconception among some users, who incorrectly believe that the GFDL has no attribution requirement. In particular, some users copy from Wikipedia to Wikibooks, without mentioning that the content comes from Wikipedia, thus effectively plagiarising. --Kernigh 04:34, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup
The whole thing needs a cleanup. Information isn't correct in some areas and links take to incorrect places. Information under the Bestiary and the guides is inaccurate and needs to be fixed. --Richard x


 * Also, all pages in the book should start with "Runescape/"! Jguk 13:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)


 * This book is now a mess. I put a cleanup tag on it because readers currently will not be able to find pages. We have duplicate pages at Fishing and RuneScape/Skills/Fishing; the latter name "starting with RuneScape/" is the best one. --Kernigh 00:47, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I have merged some of the content that Richard x moved out of the naming space of the RuneScape wikibook and into the main Wikibooks area as independent modules (which they were not). I have been careful about what is the more "advanced" version of this content and tried to keep the best of duplicate pages, merging page histories as well. Earlier version of each page can now be found in the history. I'm going to try and do this for this whole Wikibook but it will take some time. --Rob Horning 15:10, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


 * ugh, I just noticed that the S has become a capital S. Ooops..., Jguk 21:46, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
