Mat's Wiki Blog!

[Ladii Mystic]

Hey Mat,


I've redone your "Banana".

Into an awesome table.
http://www.runescapeaddicts.com/Banana


From now on, if you are to submit items, please use the Wiki Item Table:
Wiki Item Table



Great work!

We can also use them for Quest Requirements in Quest Guides.


With stuff like Quest Requirements, Quest Skills that the guide maker recommends, Items needed, rewards, and so on.

LM, you make me look pathetic =P
Thanks. I will start as of today, the holidays!

Let me get to work.
Thanks again.

Ironic.


When holidays start, you get to work, lol.



I will get to work today, or if I can't, tomorrow.

eh
if youre not working on something you get bored
now is this 100% about the wiki or about quests as well, if its about the quests we need to make sure everyone knows whos doing wat so we do not end up having two ppl doing one quest guide and have wasted time happening i have already started on ftp quests and have completed 1 and started another :D

We must create pages.


Just pages.


Incomplete pages, so people know what to do.


Quests may be done by people with experience.


Those people can be Eb, or Chindian.


But there are lots of things that aren't quests.

alright, LM and i recoded the table as a template. what's that mean? it means your jobs just got a whole lot easier!

the template is right here:
http://www.runescapeaddicts.com/Template:Item

but all you need to do when you make a new item page is paste this code in:

{{item
    | name = name of object
    | category = category object fits in
    | image = image name (image:image name here.jpg)
    | stack = is the item stackable?
    | equip = is the item equipable?
    | trade = can you trade the item?
    | weight = weight
    | memonly = is it members only?
    | quest = what quests are it used for?
    | examine = examine info
    | highalc = high alchemy price
    | lowalc = low alchemy price
    | storeprice = store price
    | streetprice = street price (Grand Exchange price)
    | req = requirements to use
    | respawn = where it respawns
    | heals = how many hitpoints it heals
    | uses = what its used for
    | howobtained = how you get it
    | droppedby = monsters that drop it
}}

all you have to change is the descriptions on the right side of the equals sign!

easy!

so Mat's banana will look like this:

{{item
    | name = Banana
    | category = Food
    | image = image:banana.gif
    | stack = No
    | equip = No
    | trade = Yes
    | weight = 0 kg
    | memonly = No
    | quest = No
    | examine = Mmm this looks tasty
    | highalc = 1
    | lowalc = 0
    | storeprice = 2 - 89
    | streetprice = 90
    | req = None
    | respawn = Karamaja General Store
    | heals = 2 HP
    | uses = <font color=Red>*</font> Members use 5 baskets of bananas to pay farmers to watch over Curry Patches.<br><font color=Red>*</font> Used in Quest: [[Pirate's Treasure]]<br><font color=Red>*</font> Tertiary ingredient in infusing Fruit Bat Pouches
    | howobtained = <font color=Red>*</font> Can be made from casting 'Bones to Bananas' magic spell <br><font color=Red>*</font> Picked from banana trees <br><font color=Red>*</font> Purchased in stores/Grand exchange or trading with players in game
    | droppedby = [[Ice giant]], [[Jogre]], [[Kurask]], [[Monkey]], [[Tree Spirit]]
}}

any questions, feel free to pm me

Oh, that's cool Asian, thanks.


That makes our work easier.


I may do an item or two, after the guides.

[Asian Rapini]

the beauty of the template is that if we want to change the layout of the chart later, we can do it in only one place instead of having to change it a million times.

i'm going to try to make more templates....

like for quests. and spells. and stuff like that.

[Ladii Mystic]

Asian!

I'll do the example tables and you can make them into templates.


I don't know how to make templates. Only tables.
But you're a genius at that. so i'm going to need your help!

Deal?
