Fixing links to redirects with a bot[edit source]
Would it be possible to program a bot to look for pages that link to redirects and edit those links to instead link to the actual articles instead of the redirects? If so, I think we should do that. --Andorin (Talk) (Contribs) 04:15, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
Also? Using a bot to turn external links that link to wiki pages into internal wiki links. For example, changing [http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Grand Exchange Grand Exchange] into [[Grand Exchange]]. Unregistered users add these links pretty often. Come on, let's have a response here. --Andorin (Talk) (Contribs) 06:21, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
I think Evil had some AWB .xml files lying around that fixes the second thing. 222 talk 06:25, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
I saw a bot fix the first thing once, not sure if that was a one time search or if a bot is continuously assigned to it. THARKON 10:50, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
You could do the second thing with AWB indeed, using the regexes \[http:\/\/runescape\.wikia\.com\/wiki\/([^ \]]+) ([^\]]+)\] to [[$1|$2]] (turning url links to this wiki in wikilinks), then ((?<=\[\[[^\]]).)*_ to $1 (changing all underscores in links into spaces), then \[\[([^\|]+)\|(\1)\]\] to [[$2]] (turning all wikilinks that have twice the same in it into plain wikilinks ([[cake|cake]] would become [[cake]]). For the last regex, make sure it is not case sensitive.
Just put all those regexes below each other in AWB, and it should work fine. I can't do it myself for now, as I don't have access to AWB, but if anyone else wants to do it, feel free to use these regexes for that. If you want to do the same for links to wikipedia, use \[http:\/\/en\.wikipedia\.org\/wiki\/([^ \]]+) ([^\]]+)\] to [[wikipedia:$1|$2]], and put that before the "underscore to spaces in links" regex I put above.

Interface Images[edit source]
So recently the interface tab images were updated for the re-sizeable/full screen mode. However, the fixed screen mode still uses the old images, and this is not mentioned on the Interface page. In order to continue using the old image in my userspace, I uploaded copies to an image host. I need help figuring out how to display them and at the same time have them link to a wiki page. I don't know if its appropriate to link to them here, but they are below. ~J22f~TGC 00:38, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Nex, notice that in between "For example" and "Implemented as" the picture is displayed and links to a page. --Saftzie (talk) 03:58, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
ParseHiscoreData Update[edit source]
Regarding Template:ParseHiscoreData, is there a way to add a condition to the template so that when the user data value is -1 (meaning the player is not ranked) that the template will display: "Not Ranked" instead of showing a blank? ~J22f~TGC 03:51, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
If you are talking about the table you use to display it on your userpage, then it already does say Not Ranked. I'm not sure if you changed anything or not, but that is what is currently says. Sentra246 14:15, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I manually have it display the text for those cells otherwise if I used the parse template, the cells don't even appear at all. They don't even just show as empty. I suppose it isn't a big deal because I can change it manually, but that defeats the whole purpose of the parse template extracting the information for me. ~J22f~TGC 09:08, December 3, 2011 (UTC)
Made an altered version in My Sandbox that I think should work ok. Only tried it out on one of your pages so far though, although assuming -1 always means not ranked shouldn't be any problems with it. --Henneyj 05:48, December 4, 2011 (UTC)
This works perfect for my purposes. I have copied the code that I need. Thanks for your help! Would it be worth adding this to the actual template? Or would this mess up how others use the template? ~J22f~TGC 22:42, December 5, 2011 (UTC)
It seems Template:Parse user stats relies on the current form. --Henneyj 23:34, December 14, 2011 (UTC)
Adding link to toolbar[edit source]
I'm trying to add the link http://www.runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=RuneScape:Chat/Bans&action=edit&section=new&preload=User:Smithing/B-JQ to my toolbar in my personal .js page. If anyone can help me fix it (it's at the bottom), it would be appreciated. Smithing (talk | contribs) 23:43, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
if ( wgNamespaceNumber !=undefined && !window.ToolbarLinksLoads ) {
addOnloadHook( addToolbarLinkss );
var ToolbarLinksLoads = true;
function addToolbarLinkss () {
$('

').insertAfter('ul.tools > li:first-child');
Replace the bottom of your script with that. Note that you need at least one link on there already from the Wikia Customize bit for this to work seeing as you're using one of my first attempts at getting links to work on the toolbar. Ryan PM 02:23, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Flash Powder Factory rewards added to herblore calculators[edit source]
These rewards could have a massive impact on the herblore calculators, adding a couple of extra columns to the pages, because you could have the calculations for standard potion making, for potion making with Scroll of Cleansing, with Flash Powder Rewards, or with both. Since I'm new to the wiki, I wasn't exactly sure where to post this or how to implement it. Just for those of you who might not be aware, the full rewards from Flash Powder Factory will give you experience equal to cleaning a herb when you make the unfinished potion, and 3 out of the 5 pieces of the set gives you a 10% chance to make a 4-dose potion instead of a 3-dose potion.

GEWM page appears to be very broken[edit source]
The page Exchange:Rune dagger (p) seems to be extremely broken. Could someone help me figure out what's wrong with it? Micha 13:23, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
Never mind -- I think I fixed it be removing an extra { and }.
Every other exchange page has tripple brackets, so I doubt that can be the problem. I don't see what the problem is though. THARKON 19:51, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, you need the triple braces. Otherwise stuff like "{{:Exchange:Rune dagger (p)|View=price}}" and "{{:Exchange:Rune dagger (p)|View=icon}}" wouldn't display as a price and an icon. The error was probably the comma. I put the braces back. --Saftzie (talk) 20:10, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
Hmm, or not. The comma shouldn't make a difference. Oh, well. --Saftzie (talk) 20:14, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
Well, whatever it was, it's working now. Micha 12:13, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
Thieving guide messed up[edit source]

Tree images[edit source]
Hey, just pointing out that a couple images on a few of the Woodcutting trees are outdated, including oak trees, willow trees, and yew trees. --Kittypaw9820 21:56, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
Then update them. Use an Orb of oculus if possible. Coelacanth0794 Talk 21:59, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
I'm really bad at using an Orb of oculus, that's why I put it on the User help page. I'm trying to do a few of the other images (ex. "player chopping down" ones), but some of the other images I can't do. Edit: Some of them I got confused and didn't need updates; however, they could use a bit of cleanup (ex, one of the images on the normal tree is blurry) --Kittypaw9820 22:10, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
There are updated versions. Ask an admin to merge them if it's necessary. -- SpineTalk 20:16, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
Clan colours[edit source]
Since clans are not supposed to be mentioned on this wiki, should the following images be reverted to neutral colours?
THARKON 18:58, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
I think it's okay as long as the clan itself isn't named AnselaJonla 19:19, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Theoretically it would be better to have neutral but it's not a priority. 19:36, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
An interesting point is, I see they were neutral, but someone changed them. So I guess it's as simple as reverting those edits THARKON 12:42, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
The previous versions were from the game guide. 17:09, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
The game guide doesn't have any more copyright issues than screenshots from the game itself, do they? THARKON 19:49, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
It has a too-lazy-to-do-stuff-ourselves issue. The quality is much improved too. --Henneyj 20:01, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
It is almost impossible to get a picture of every possible flag in the same colours since some of them are really expensive. Unless you can convince multiple clans to temporarily change their colours to neutral ones. The new pictures are higher quality but look very out of place on the page as it is now being much larger and in different colours. THARKON 18:36, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
You could ask the Wiki's clan. 03:20, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
Assuming it's a superclan able to produce a few hundred thousand resources per week it would still take them over 2 months to do it, simply cause of the 3 upgrades/week limit, and the images probably wouldn't be much better. Higher detail perhaps, but not better. There is no way for us to take a picture of a flag without also having the flagpole for example. THARKON 19:10, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
Then there is nothing we can do. 16:38, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
Dialogue pages[edit source]
Don't really know where would have been best to put this, so I'll try here. There once were dialogue pages, and then there was forum discussion which concluded "Requiescat in pace." However, I see that we still have dialogue pages, some of which have been updated since the supposed removal of dialogue pages. My question is, are these pages supposed to still exist, and if they are... shall we (who love summoning) continue to edit them? Cheers, Penderwyll 20:47, April 17, 2012 (UTC)
I think that was a resolution to delete NPC dialog, not familiar dialog. However, I seem to recall a similar discussion to delete familiar dialog, with the assertion it violated Jagex's copyrights. But, yeah, familiar dialog is still around. --Saftzie (talk) 21:15, April 17, 2012 (UTC)
I thought that they were removed because of copyright, but then later allowed by Jagex, but don't hold me to that, cause I don't remember where I got that from. THARKON 18:11, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
Dialogue pages are allowed, and we have many. There was another thread recently.. somewhere.. that I forgot the name of. Anyway, just wanted to clear it up. 19:13, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the input thus far, but I'm afraid I remain confused. The discussions I've read so far have ended with one of two conclusions: we keep going until they sue us , or we delete the dialogue as copyright infringement. I recognize that there are some pages of familiar dialogue around (49 pages total, so not very many). I am skeptical that there is some difference between NPC dialogue and familiar dialogue; is this still the proper place for these questions, or should it be put somewhere else like the yew grove? Cheers, Penderwyll 19:57, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
I found the page, hopefully this will clear it up: Forum:Lores Project. EDIT: Also, this is the right place to ask questions. The Yew Grove is for gaining consensus from the community on changes to the wiki. (: 20:07, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
I think the principal argument against NPC dialog was that there was a lot of it, and it changed often as Jagex issued updates, so it would be a mess to maintain and wouldn't add much value or interest. That's an argument separate from the concern about copyrights, which was the main argument against familiars and book transcripts, which have less volume, so it's easier to maintain and, in the case of book transcripts, could have value. (I'm not advocating, just reciting.) --Saftzie (talk) 22:13, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the extra information, particularly that forum discussion Cowgurl, I'm now convinced. This topic is now completed Cheers, Penderwyll 17:43, April 19, 2012 (UTC)
Search[edit source]
I noticed for a few days now that when searching for a page, if the search term matches the name of a page exactly, you no longer automatically go to that page. This is incredibly annoying, but more importantly, it's something you'd expect to find in the settings but I can't find it. Does anyone know why this happened and if and how it can be undone? THARKON 20:43, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
Apparently Wikia decided for its users that "go" should be the same as "search." There's a poll in the Site Notice about it. --Saftzie (talk) 22:36, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Can no longer update any prices on Grand Exchange? Entire Exchange namespace denied.[edit source]
It's been a month or more since I even updated any prices. I've never intentionally vandalized the Grand Exchange or any other page. I've not been notified in any form (my user talk page is where I'd expect to see such things) of a violation or sanctions placed. Is there some technical issue, a glitch, maintenance, etc, preventing me from updating anything in the Exchange namespace? Anyone else getting this error? Just wanted to update price of Death runes, which continues to fall rapidly every day. Warp9pnt9 13:00, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
I got the same error as well, which is "API error: You're not allowed to edit pages in the ``Exchange namespace". I also notticed that the update price link in the Infobox Item template is also no longer displaying. THARKON 19:48, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
Forum:New_bot_and_protection_for_Exchange_namespace Ciphrius Kane 19:52, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
Wow, they had the discussion on some obscure page and within a few days a couple people decided, with no one opposing, to take action and removed a major, important feature, and closed the discussion. Really stupid. The problem is, the web data that the bot is sourced from already lags behind the real-time data. And now there's the bot's lag. This removes one of the first and main reasons I even came to wikia in the first place: to set up a large table with dozens of items, update all prices, and see at a glance which activity will profit from raw materials, say, for crafting or fletching. All those fancy calculators are garbage now. Smooth move, guys. Warp9pnt9 23:14, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
Discussion moved to Forum:Restore manual update of Exchange prices. 06:13, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
Skins[edit source]
I feel like I am taking over the User Help page now but anyway... Today a friend notified me that my userpage did not look the same to him as it does to me because he uses a different skin. I created my userpage back when good ol' Monaco was still available, and when it became unavailable shortly after the release of the ineffecient Oasis skin I switched to Monobook myself. Does anyone know of a way to force my userpage to display in Monobook when others view it? THARKON 00:36, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
Add "?useskin=monobook" to the end of the url. For example "https://runescape.wiki/wiki/User:Tharkon?useskin=monobook". Users have to do that in their browsers. Alternatively you could get creative with redirects, I suppose. Better would be to try to make it look sane in whatever skins Wikia makes available. --Saftzie (talk) 03:09, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
You could add that ?useskin=monobook to the link in your signature. You could also change the horizontal amount of userboxes from 4 to 3. That would make it better in wikia skin. JOEYTJE50TALK pull my finger 09:23, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
3 boxes per row would make the page even longer than it already is. The new Oasis skin simply sucks when it comes to space efficiency, it only uses one third of the window's width for actual content, so I refuse to cater to it. Changing the link in my signature might work, although I noticed wikilinks don't support GET values, so I changed them to regular links. I still don't know why Monaco was removed. For a while the three skins co-existed. THARKON 03:07, May 12, 2012 (UTC)
The width was changed to a fixed width to "make every page the same for different resolutions" so you'd know what every user would see, even with different resolutions. I disagree, but that's what Wikia decided. JOEYTJE50TALK pull my finger 08:56, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
You could always mess with the page widths on your backgrounds. For example, you could make a fake background something along the lines of
bah1
. Repeat that with everything else x times and you've got a page that'll display the same regardless of monitor resolution or whatever Wikia, Inc. decides to force upon us. 222 talk 09:01, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
I completely understand the idea behind a fixed width, however, making this width 640px (this is what the content area appears to be in the Oasis skin) is a bit absurd. Nobody is using VGA resolutions anymore, even 3 years ago when I was actively designing websites I was free to assume every viewer had at least XGA (1024x768). The way I designed my userpage now probabably requires SXGA, but we're a few years further and I think every desktop user will have at least that. Laptops are pretty much always widescreen where WXGA is sufficient as well. So even in the Monobook skin I have no worries about people having insufficient screen width. Btw, I tested the div thingy on User:Tharkon/Research, but it doesn't really have the desired effect, although I haven't tried z-index yet. THARKON 21:06, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
Got pretty close now, noticed that the content part of my page is only 1000px, the sidebars are the only thing requiring WXGA or SXGA then. The Live chat and Recent activity boxes from the Oasis skin are quite stubborn though, but this is certainly an improvement. THARKON 21:30, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
Separate Equipment tables?[edit source]
I think having separate tables for Dungeoneering items would make them easier to use, at least for casual players like myself. And doing so might allow tables that currently have more than 400 items to be on a single page, possibly? (I haven't counted them.)
Or has this been discussed? (I'd volunteer to create them myself, but I'm suffering through a very slow internet connection at the moment.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 37.28.5.227 (talk).
Would you like to give an example of what you mean? AnselaJonla 17:07, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
For example, Dungeoneering items could be removed from Equipment tables/Weapon and placed into a Dungeoneering equipment tables/Weapon page —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 37.28.29.212 (talk) on 18:26, 21 May 2012 (UTC).
Oh, so you want the page splitting into several different ones; would Dungeoneering equipment/Melee armour, Dungeoneering equipment/Mage equipment, Dungeoneering equipment/Range equipment and Dungeoneering equipment/Melee weapons be suitable to you? AnselaJonla 19:23, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
That sounds great! But I'm not sure that's what I'm requesting. I was hoping that the Dungeoneering items could be removed from all the Equipment tables, and new tables could be created for them. Or maybe the tables are generated with scripts? In which case, I'd retract the request, that would be too much work to change. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 37.28.29.212 (talk) on 19:55, 21 May 2012 (UTC).
The page is generated dynamically based on [[Category:Weapon slot items]] (which Wikia has apparently made unlinkable as I write this, as with *any* Category, sigh). Removing Duneoneering items from this page would be difficult, I think, but a different page based on different categories should be possible. For example, there could be a page with a table of Dungeoneering daggers, a table of Dungeoneering rapiers, etc. --Saftzie (talk) 21:20, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
Oh dear, it would take days to assign all these items to new categories, forget I asked. I guess what annoys me is that tables are cut off at 400 entries, but I assume that's Wikia's doing? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 145.255.114.99 (talk) on 20:08, 22 May 2012 (UTC).
All dungeoneering weapons are already in a separate category. For example, Argonite dagger is also in Category:Dungeoneering daggers, as are Frostbite dagger and Hailstorm dagger, so there could be a table that listed all daggers. With existing categories it wouldn't be possible to include, for example, Argonite dagger and Zephyrium rapier in the same table. There is also Category:Argonite, but that includes all argonite armor, too. Then there could be a separate table for rapiers, etc. The question is whether it's worth being able to compare daggers to other daggers, but not daggers to rapiers, etc., in a sortable table. For example, comparing an argonite dagger to a zephyrium rapier is probably what you really want to do, but these tables wouldn't do that. --Saftzie (talk) 22:44, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
Need some table help[edit source]
So I put this table together tonight, in order to better standardize our level up tables and make a stronger distinction between f2p and p2p unlocks. For the most part it seems to have worked alright; I added the table to Smithing/Level up table and Attack/Level up table. However, I also wrote up a table for Defence/Level up table, which I have yet to place in the article because, for some reason, my template is now breaking.
Have a look at this. I can't figure out why the template breaks. My usual method of diagnosing a broken table or page is to remove one section of code at a time until I find the responsible section, then examine it for errors. However, that method is not working here; I've removed every section of the table's code and it still breaks. I even had it with just the very first line ("Wear most bronze armour.") and it was still broken! Bleh. Either there's a problem with our servers or my template is somehow flawed. Someone who is better with wikicode than I am, please take a look and see what you can find. --Andorin (Talk) (Contribs) 10:09, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

Template:Cquote2[edit source]
I don't like messing with this sort of template, but I think it's to do with the div class at the top. The template renders on top of infoboxes, where as it used to 'see' them and render accordingly. I think it does the same with images. cqm talk 10:14, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
I've since discovered it's something to do with chrome not recognising margins. Not sure if this is any help to whoever knows how to fix it. cqm talk 23:12, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
It's also changed from being justified or centered or whatever it was before, and has really messed up some pages randomly (User:TyA/Administrator Review). 20:02, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
The template appears to be fixed for me. However I keep seeing people remove the template because it's rendering behind infoboxes and such. So idk what the issue is now since it looks fine to me. 18:26, June 25, 2012 (UTC)
Tutors[edit source]
Here is the tutor page on this wiki. If you look at the discontinued tutors section there is a list of discontinued tutors. The ones I'd like to note are Fishing Tutor, Cooking Tutor, Prayer Tutor, Mining Tutor, and Crafting Tutor. However, look at this ImageShack image I took on 6/28/2012:

If you look at the world map, all the tutors in the picture above are in Burthorpe. This was an update released a few month ago. However, the five tutors I listed in the first paragraph on the "Tutor" article have the same names as some of the new tutors pictured. Maybe the discontinued tutors can have (historical) after their names, and we could make seperate pages for the new tutors in Burthorpe. Maybe also make new pages for the Burthorpe tutors that aren't listed in my first paragraph. 99 i fail 00:01, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

Citations/Footnotes/Endnotes[edit source]
How to do you add citations/footnotes/endnotes to an article? (by citations/footnotes/endnotes, i mean that little [insert number here] that you click on next to a piece of information that leads you to the end of the page, where it has a link to an official Jagex source. This is used to verify what may be a doubtable piece of information.) I want to to know how to do this, because I want to correct information in a Beta: article, but I want to add the footnote or whatever to add validation to what I am adding to that article. 99 i fail 01:57, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
This page explains how to do this. When you want to add a reference to an article, just add <ref>citation details</ref> after the text the citation verifies, and <references/> or {{Reflist}} wherever you want the citation details to appear. For example
Text<ref>citation details</ref>
{{Reflist}}

Abusefilter suggestion: RDT drops[edit source]
Could we add an entry to the abusefilter that flags edits that might be adding a rare drop table drop to a monster's drop list? IPs do this all the time, and even registered users on occasion, and it's rather annoying to frequently have to undo these edits. --Andorin (Talk) (Contribs) 08:06, August 13, 2012 (UTC)
Can someone fix the filter so it only catches items that are actually in the rdt, instead of flagging every single change to the drop table? If that's not possible, I'd like to request that the filter be removed instead. AnselaJonla 00:43, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
This needs to be dealt with promptly; any time I attempt to change a page I am repeatedly prevented, and it causes crap like this to happen. MolMan 01:53, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
It is possible to fix, Ansela. But in the mean time, I've disabled the filter. 02:05, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Dead link on navigation?[edit source]
I seem to have found a dead link upon the navigation. Under "Guides" if you click "History" it claims the page does not exist. I believe that this should lead to a page, maybe? --Superburke (talk) 22:22, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Kalphite Queen/Strategies problem[edit source]
I went to the Kalphite Queen/Strategies page and it has been gutted from what it used to be. Large, useful sections are completely gone, including but not limited to the solo section. The last most-useful version seems to be the 17:08, July 19, 2012 version; see https://runescape.wiki/wiki/Kalphite_Queen/Strategies?action=history. Someone should check things out and maybe revert it if that's the right course. Inelcirc (talk) 19:37, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
CSS Highlighting Issue[edit source]
On my personal css, I have #22CC00 (which is the default admin highlight color) set to only me. However, one user (User:Clv309) is still that color even though I have her under the section which is colored #003366. The name is typed correctly and everything, so I have no idea what the problem is here. It should highlight her userpage, talk page and contributions #003366, but it's only doing her userpage as #22CC00 like we have it in MediaWiki. It's like it's overriding my css. Any ideas? <.< 04:13, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
You have the character "Left-to-Right Mark" (U+200E) in the a[href="/wiki/User:Clv309(Errant character here)"] line of your CSS. Here's a U+200E, it's an invisible character: --><-- Copy the following line to your CSS over the Clv309 declaration to fix it:

Quest numbers[edit source]
I noticed a few odd things with the numbering of quests.
The List of quest release dates shows 181 quests, and Elder Kiln is listed as #181, which matches the number it has on its own page. However, Within the Light is #156 on its own page and #155 on the list, because the list removed the number from Unstable Foundation. There are many other quests that had their numbers removed, and I think that aside of this causing a lot of trouble changing the pages of all quests that have been release since, it is also incorrect.
A good example is Recipe for Disaster. This was a special quest released as the 100th quest, and the page still says it is the 100th quest even though its number has been changed to #97 because one of the earlier quests had been removed, and two are no longer considered to be quests. In my opinion removing quest number 4 does not turn quest number 5 into 4, it just means that quest number 4 no longer exists in the game.
Either way a lot of quests have been incorrectly numbered. Either the lower level ones if we do change the numbering with each removed quest, or the higher level ones because of the removal of Unstable Foundation and/or Learning the Ropes. THARKON 23:41, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
Article widening[edit source]
There are some issues I've noticed since our width has increased. These might just be me, so if anyone has any ideas.. <.<
Homepage is messed up, the right rail is below the left instead of side-by-side.
The "you have new messages" box is way over to the right, so far that I can barely reach it with my mouse.
Having an issue editing. Sometimes when I go to edit or undo, the edit box either completely disappears or is cut in half. Looks like it's a problem with our background randomly deciding to cover up the bottom half of the edit box.
22:51, October 3, 2012 (UTC)
These are all bugs caused by Wikia software. You should report those to Wikia, as they will be able to fix it. The new messages box should be fixed now though, and the main page works fine for me. I don't know about the editing problem. JOEYTJE50TALK pull my finger 11:04, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
Community Messages[edit source]
Does anyone know how to get rid of those messages that sometimes appear in a yellow banner on top of your userpage. They trigger the "You've got new messages" warning and when you then click Show Recent, there is nothing new. Then you look at the actual talk page and there is some useless messages from community.wikia.com Something like this:
Learn more about Wikia's Official Gaming Communities
[dismiss this message] This message will expire on 00:00, October 13, 2012.
THARKON 00:47, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
Most of the people on IRC and Special:Chat are annoyed by this as well, but we have found no way to disable these new-message boxes when community messages arrive. Sorry. a proofreader ▸
01:07, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
This happens because the messages are designed for Oasis, where it's a popup box that stalks you on every page, not a message on your talk page. Since that's not something that exists in monobook, Wikia has to use this method. Since there is no class attached to the new messages box that is specific to the community messages, there is no way to make it work more efficient.

Just ask Wikia. 03:55, December 9, 2012 (UTC)
Read this As Cåm says, "I've had someone with AWB go through every single page checking for conditional use of it (with no results) and still it refuses to come off the list." There are actually a few like that. File:$1 being an example. File:Starspitirface.png is another. I think there's a third, but I can't find them. Either way, contacting Wiki would be the best. I do wonder if it is linked in a personal .js or maybe .css page. 17:49, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
File:$1 is a side effect of a MediaWiki page, as is pretty much anything with a $ followed by a number across any namespace. Just redirect it to RuneScape:No Page, or something like that, but leave an explanation in a comment . We don't all think to check page history for something like that. js pages tend to cause stranger wanted pages, usually with + or - in the title somewhere, and they're rarely very stubborn. File:Happy Birthday.jpg was a particularly stubborn one if memory serves. We deleted and undeleted it several times, checked every page, and it persisted for several months. It was most definitely an issue with Wikia, as are most that claim to have uses, but actually don't. Even conditional uses show up in some way, although not always the correct page. cqm 10:16, 21 Dec 2012 (UTC) (UTC)
The annoying thing is that it comes up as a strike-out image. A false positive, as the page says. It annoys me that it can't be removed. 02:32, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
Is there a section to tell people which pages need to be updated?[edit source]
I can't update them myself because I don't know what the new info is. Can I do that here? If so, it's the inspiration and invigorate auras that need updating. --Izzz (talk) 07:25, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Ancient bones[edit source]
There is an item called Ancient bones which is a quest reward and thus has a article (see the link). With the new player-owned ports, there is now another item with the same name. I think the current article should be moved to "Ancient bones (quest)", and give the new item the current name. I think I know how to do this, but I'm worried about page history and the name change would cause some links to be wrong. I'm not so good with fixing that, so I was hoping someone else could do the switch for me. The new page could be filled with almost identical content as other trade goods such as Plate and Lacquer. ~J22f~TGC 06:12, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
I'll move the page and fix up the links. Feel free to make the new page at your leisure (mainly because I can't access ports . cqm 10:05, 17 Dec 2012 (UTC) (UTC)
Thanks for doing that! Perfect! ~J22f~TGC 17:56, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
Template:Talkheader[edit source]
I could use some help with someone good at coding in templates. I asked Thebrains222 to use BrainBot to add this template to the top of all Talk pages. It worked perfectly, except for one consequence I completely overlooked. When the template is used in Talk:Solomon's General Store/Archive 1, it will create a link to Solomon's General Store/Archive 1, which is not a mainspace page. I'm really not too good with coding in general, so is it possible to make it so that if the page the template is used on is an archive subpage, it will link to the mainpage insetad? 17:56, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
Never mind, problem solved 02:32, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
Regex to alter dates[edit source]
Timestamps generated by ~~~~~ seem to have changed format over the years, likely due to changes in MediaWiki version. when RuneScape:Forum Archives was started, I never though to check what the current format was, and as a result now face the problem of the archives not accepting it. The date accepted (and what is now used on pretty much every forum as a result) is 15:06 3 January 2013. The current format is 15:06, January 3, 2013. I'm willing to run my AWB account to change all the dates to the current format and then fix the associated template used for the forum archives, but I suck at anything beyond extremely basic regexes. This would only need to affect the date used as the argument for the date parameter in {{forumheader}}.
Halp plz cqm 15:11, 9 Jan 2013 (UTC) (UTC)
Is altering the template not an option? --Henneyj 00:48, January 10, 2013 (UTC)
Altering the template is done, but it will only accept the dates in one of the two formats. The #time parser doesn't work properly with it, so I've had to resort to using #explode to locate the relevant part of the date, #replace to change the month to a number and #switch to pad the day with a 0 if it's one digit. I'm in the process of changing the dates by hand, but there's around 2000 forums to fix the date on. cqm 00:58, 10 Jan 2013 (UTC) (UTC)
Joey gave me a regex, all dates altered with User:Cåmdroid. cqm 13:56, 14 Jan 2013 (UTC) (UTC)
Extra info needed?[edit source]
I have added a comment to the page Grey Order, since when I completed the Rune Memories quest I noticed Ellaron made a comment about Ariane being a Grey Wizard. So two questions: Is it okay if I added that comment, and should I create a transcript/upload a picture of the dialogue to the Grey Order or RM quest page?
Also, did I post this question in the right section? I apologize as I am new, and thank you in advance. Edited in sig. Grovann (talk) 03:01, February 2, 2013 (UTC)
I would say it's absolutely ok that you added that. A picture would be unnecessary, as would a full transcript. You've made it clear enough where the information has come from. It might be better adding it in as a direct quote, so that it has more factual strength. e.g. he states that "Ariane is a Grey wizard, clever and curious."
And yes this is the right place for advice. --Henneyj 17:17, February 2, 2013 (UTC)
Okay thank you, then this can be archived or deleted as necessary, I'll redo the quest on another character and find the exact quote. Thank you. Grovann (talk) 20:59, February 2, 2013 (UTC)
Infobox War[edit source]
Template:Infobox War needs to be updated so that it looks the same as all our other infoboxes. <.< 06:03, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Aww not an infobox for edit-warring as I first hoped. Wikipedia are a bit better with these sorts of infoboxes, might be worth copying drawing inspiration from them. --Henneyj 22:48, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
Dailies[edit source]
[[:Category:Dailies]] includes things which are not daily, but the descriptive text just says "a list of things to do on a recurring basis." Should we find a better name for the category or create a Weeklies and Monthlies, too? --Saftzie (talk) 21:37, June 25, 2013 (UTC)
How about Repeatable activities/events? Weeklies and Monthlies looks like it might be a bit of a pain to navigate. cqm 07:52, 26 Jun 2013 (UTC) (UTC)
Wiki Classifieds: Bot wanted - for Template:Infobox Bonuses[edit source]
Template:Infobox Bonuses Beta and Template:Infobox Bonuses were merged a little while back (one redirects to the other). This means that we currently have some pages using one form and some using the other. Whilst this is not a problem in most cases - the template still appears on the page as normal - there are a couple of minor problems caused.
It seems that the DPLs on the Equipment tables pages will only recognise a page by the specific template called on the page. This currently means that these tables are missing any item that uses Template:Infobox Bonuses rather than Template:Infobox Bonuses Beta
The compare items script currently also only recognises Template:Infobox Bonuses Beta, so any page using Template:Infobox Bonuses is not included in the comparisons.
There may be some ways to include both forms in these cases, but I think it is best that all references to Infobox Bonuses Beta be changed to Infobox Bonuses. If someone could make that happen, it'd be greatly appreciated. --Henneyj 21:55, June 1, 2013 (UTC)
The script has been altered and seems to be working correctly. Bot is running on the ~3500 pages that use the template and will hopefully be done by the time I wake up. cqm 23:51, 1 Jun 2013 (UTC) (UTC)
Thanks Cåm. It's possible there's some other obscure problem caused but the above issues appear to be addressed. --Henneyj 03:42, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
Site Notice[edit source]
How can I get the site news to stay hidden?
It is currently taking up a third of my laptop screen height and I have to close it for every article I go to. It is very annoying.
Is there an option to remove it completely? While I think it is ok to appear on the main page it seems overkill having it nag me on all pages.

I have [[:File:Scan clue-Dorgesh-Kaan isolated area.jpg]] on Special:UnusedFiles, but have no idea where it's been removed from. It looks like it's something to do with treasure trails, but it's not a coordinates clue (as it's underground), doesn't seem to be an emote clue and the scan clues don't list it as an option. I just want to make sure it wasn't removed by accident or was just removed for being a jpg but actually contributed to the article. cqm 08:26, 12 Jul 2013 (UTC) (UTC)

That would explain why I couldn't find where it was used, thanks. cqm 10:03, 12 Jul 2013 (UTC) (UTC)
How embarrassing... I removed it because it was a file only used on that talk page. It was shortly after that I realized this area was not pictured. Unfortunately, I never got around to changing the file name and re-adding it to the page. With that said, I've rectified my mistake. MolMan 19:37, July 12, 2013 (UTC)
Finding light tables[edit source]
I've been working on some code to update [[MediaWiki:Common.js/highlightTable.js]]. I'd like to test it on a good variety of light tables (tables with class="lighttable") that already exist. Is there an easy way to find them that I'm overlooking? Searching for the string "lighttable" finds only a few Yew Grove threads that talk about them, even using an external search engine, not any articles themselves. So far there are the task set articles.... --Saftzie (talk) 07:20, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
I can run a bot to tag them with a temp hidden category, but I don't know any other way to do it I'm afraid. Google won't find the class because it's a class not content. I doubt mw's search will turn up anything because it looks at titles and content. cqm 07:39, 16 Jul 2013 (UTC) (UTC)
That's sort of what I thought. Rather than add a hidden category to all the pages, is it possible just to log the pages it would have edited? I've got a search engine of my own I have sitting around in a vm somewhere that I haven't turned on for a year or so. I can probably make it do what I want, if I can find it, but we're starting to depart from "easy." --Saftzie (talk) 08:08, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

I'd do it myself, but I don't really understand the coding in the infobox. :/ 20:21, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
From my original thing; the varies is fixed. As for the categories, we don't need individual ones, one category for all 4 will suffice. No one would fill in just one value... even if they did, it's fine to have 1 cat. Made it btw MolMan 20:28, August 22, 2013 (UTC)

Is there any way to access the set of price points over the past few days instead of just the current price and last price? Having more price information could be useful in some calculations. The trade volume statistics by day would also be useful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tusserte (talk) on 03:51, 25 September 2013 (UTC).
Like this: Exchange:Fire rune/Data? az talk 03:58, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
Right, though in there the data is hardcoded so I would need to access each page to see what the data is like. It would be nice if there was some sort of template that could let me grab the numbers to do calculations by passing in a parameter for which day/days instead of copying the numbers manually. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.178.8.204 (talk) on 19:13, 29 September 2013 (UTC).
Sorry, I don't think we can do that at the moment. What kind of calculations do you want in mind? az talk 22:57, September 29, 2013 (UTC)
Template:Erorr[edit source]
Could I get some help with figuring out why Template:Error is coming up on RuneScape:Orphanage/misc/2? I tried searching through the templates, and it was removed from the list when I removed the templates that started with D through H, but I couldn't find it on any of those. 07:56, October 5, 2013 (UTC)
I can't find anything to undelete (it's never existed). My guess it some kind of parsing error, but I haven't a clue how it's happened. Perhaps {{error}} instead of {{{error}}}? cqm 08:34, 5 Oct 2013 (UTC) (UTC)

Stag Page Edit[edit source]
I'm new to editing Wiki pages and would like to try my best to mess up as little as possible when editing pages. I'm unsure if this is the correct page to post help requests on, so I'm sorry if this wasn't the right place to go to. When cruising around the Wiki, I found that under the article for the 'Stag', the xp that the monster gave was unknown. I decided to find out for myself and found that it gives 40.5 combat xp and 13.3 constutution xp. I tried to edit the page myself, but when I scrolled over the puzzle-piece icon I found myself at a loss not knowing how to edit these. So, if anybody could help by editing the page or giving me help on how to edit it myself, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 98.228.150.145 (talk) on 18:29, October 6, 2013 (UTC).
I see that the experience info has been added to the Stag page already, but may I direct your attention to RS:SANDBOX and RS:BB. The first can be used to experiment if you aren't sure what certain code does. The second is the policy that states that as long as you have good intentions you should not shy away from making an edit. Remember everything can be undone. I also want to point out that the WYSIWYG-editor isn't great and you generally have better results by editing the source code itself. Something which happens automatically is you use the Monobook skin. THARKON 00:24, October 9, 2013 (UTC)
Username[edit source]
Our username article is currently not the best. I've recently cut out some information that is not necessary for usernames in their current form, but I'm not entirely sure what should be done with the article now. Should we have it say what they used to be and include information on Character names? At the current time, the Username article has more history on Character names than the Character names article. Bren also suggested adding a Username section to the Character names page and just redirect it there. Anyone have any other ideas? 14:40, October 16, 2013 (UTC)
If I got to be honest then I'd say that usernames are outdated. Something like
Username can no longer be obtained in RuneScape after an update but still exists in-game for those who had done so.
. Because they have been replaced by display names and e-mail addresses for all new users. Existing users that have a username, still have one instead of using their e-mail address to log in. THARKON 03:31, October 17, 2013 (UTC)
Grand exchange market watch Graphs: Volume[edit source]
Hi, I've been looking to understand the "volume" line on the graph for about one hour... Volume on mahogany plank say 12-19m depending of the days... But what does that mean? Clealy this isn't the number of planks traded on that day... The runescape website most trade page say 1.5-3m... I'm lost between volume shown here and the data from runescape's site... Both doesn't make sense to me together... Is there at most 3M planks sold on ge per day or 18m?? Proulxs (talk) 09:03, January 27, 2014 (UTC)
The volume traded is the total traded per day. The Jagex page for mahogany planks doesn't show the volume. The Jagex most traded items (Spirit shards, Maple logs, Fire runes, and Air runes as of this post) are listed as hundreds of millions per day. Where do you see 3m per day? --Saftzie (talk) 18:34, January 27, 2014 (UTC)
Actually, the volume figure used on the exchange graphs is the total number of that item traded in the last 7 days on the Grand Exchange, as given by the top 100 most traded items list in the Grand Exchange database on runescape.com. (You may have seen that the volume graphs only apply to those 100 items.) While I agree it would be better to have the total number of items traded in the last day only, that information is not given on the page (only minimum, maximum and median number traded). This is the best information we have, unless we have the other three bits of info stored somewhere (probably not) and thus attempt to work out the per-day stats (even if we had them we may not be able to find them). Gaz Lloyd 7:^]Events!99s 19:42, January 27, 2014 (UTC)
Side note: I tried to find if there was mention of it being total of the last 7 days versus anything else, but there doesn't seem to be. The only mention of volume I could find was the thread about AmauriceBot (where we started recording volume thanks to added functionality of AmuariceBot) and on the thread where we made pretty GEMH graphs (where items with volume data were given a volume graph). Gaz Lloyd 7:^]Events!99s 19:49, January 27, 2014 (UTC)
Yes, the volume we use is the total trade count for the item in the last 7 days. Jagex has multiple lists, volume traded during the last: 7 days, 30 days, 100 days, and 180 days. They also have min/max/median counts which we don't keep track of.
All items with volume data is listed here: Grand Exchange Market Watch/Most traded. There is more than 100 items there... since the top 100 list changes every day. az talk 00:41, January 28, 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the explication. This topic can be removed or archived. Btw I would suggest some note on the graphs... a small [1] saying it's the last 7 days... That would require modifying the whole system, I'm totally not gonna try that. But if you know who can try to do that; you go girl! Proulxs (talk) 08:36, January 30, 2014 (UTC)
Modified the graphs a bit by changing the axis title and the popup legend. Also modified the Exchange pages by re-labelling the 7-day total and adding the 1-day average. =) az talk 13:05, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

During the past few months, weeks and days my anticipation of the new year have grown. 2017. This new year, for me and perhaps you, brings new ideas on how we want our life to be. What paths we should stay on, get off, or create for ourselves.
When you add all the numbers of 2017 together 2+0+1+7=10=1+0=1, they ultimately sum to One; This will be a One number/path year.
Pathways will open up to us this year like never before. What will we do with those paths? Will we make opportunities for growth and awakenings into the ascension of our higher-self and oneness with the creator and creation and our fellow man? Or will our life and the paths we travel be of mud and challenges that stick to our feet like cement keeping us earth-bound? We get to choose – if we choose!
I think, many, like myself, feel the importance of the coming year. On the day of this entry, December 30, 2016, I can feel the whole of my being standing still in these last few days of the Nine year, 2016(9). Taking note of where I have been since the last One year, 2009(11) being a double Path/Gateway/One year, I have traveled far.
My life tracks have seen great hurdles at times; lessons learned, Journey Journals to write.
Each day and year I walk the experiences/paths I do to become the person I am today and will be tomorrow. And now today, I get to decide again, what I will be and what I will do with the rest of my life?
At fifty-four I am ready for a little retirement from upsets; a road to fulfillment of a hard-earned respite from the journeys into the awakening of my soul. I have traveled far and learned much.
And so I look at the new year and ask myself, "what does it look like if I do this or if I do that?" I can make it into the best year and life I have ever had, or I can create hardships and challenges. This year I want to take my life path into my hands and create it into a dream come true, on the highway of One!
What about you? What does the coming year look like for you? How can you change it, by making planes and being determined, to make it better and more in alignment to what you want to do or be?
I take all that I have learned in these past years and turn them into a sure-footed next season and future for myself. I don't allow others or myself to take me in directions that wear me down and out of my life path, of peace, harmony, and oneness with all that I Am! This is my mantra, Path-Way, for the year 2017.
Come along with me on this and other journeys, Follow This Blog, ConniePrestonParker.com; see how I do as I face the challenges of reconciling my past into a new path for the future, of finding out who I want to become, and taking charge of my Spirit and Soaring with Soul (SSS)!

How to Find Out If a Business Has a Prostitution Problem
A PROSTITUTTE has said many people cheat because there is so much 'bad sex' on the streets in a very revealing Reddit thread. The 25-year old brothel worker, whose earnings come to around just over a thousand pounds a week, says that you can get a 'sweet little semi-naked woman' into a brothel and get her to sleep with many men for free. She claims you don't need to offer any payment for sex and says that you can even take a girl to bed and not even have sex with her. She says you can take a fuck buddy to bed and sleep with her by making her come up to you as if she wants to be invited into your home.
She also says that you don't need to get her drunk to get her to agree to have sex with you. She also states that it is possible to get her to do a lot of things for you without actually having sex with her. She claims that you can get her to agree to have sex by flirting with her and then when you give her sex she says it was okay. She says that when you get to know her you will also learn that you don't have to sleep with her on a regular basis.
She also says that there are many young girls for sale in a brothel who are being used for prostitution. She says that you can buy sex from these girls for just about any price and you won't have to worry about them actually getting nsa sex.
Brothels Edentown Call Girls
This brothel worker also mentions that you can have sex with the girl from behind when you are talking to her and then when you get into a sluts relationship you can kiss her behind your back when she is sleeping. She claims that you can sleep with her even though you do not love her. She says that you can do this as long as you do not actually talk to her or look at her in any other way.
She says that if you sleep with a hooker girl that you get paid for it and not for it. She also says that you cannot actually sleep with her and have sex with her if you don't pay her in cash because you may be robbed. You can also not sell her or use her clothes.
She says that young girls are often scared by these brothels and don't want to leave them because they know that they are vulnerable and lonely. They are also afraid of what might happen to them when they leave them. They are afraid of the environment and they are scared to sleep with men because they know that they will have to work in another location every night and will be vulnerable again. She says that the brothels are not dangerous and don't harm their girls physically, but that they do hurt their feelings.
Brothels are an industry of sex and money and you can walk away from one unscathed. The gfe brothel employees are not allowed to beat the girls because they may lose their job. Some brothels are not regulated but you will find plenty of men who are exploiting them by asking them to provide sexual services for free to many different men and earning money from them.
The brothels do require the brothel staff members to be bonded and not allowed to hurt their clients. You are never allowed to visit the brothel without a valid legal identification card and you are also required to pay a deposit if you are staying there for more than 48 hours. They have to be careful to keep the women safe, but there is no need to have sex with the women if they feel like you are trying to rob them. Most of the women who have been in these places before have never had sex with anyone and were only able to stay there after paying the deposit and leaving.

'Zootopia' Hits $1B Worldwide
Director Peggy Holmes Takes Over Skydance Debut Toon 'Luck'
Acamar Strengthens Senior Management to Keep 'Bing' Hopping in 2020
Disney's animated feature Zootopia crossed the $1 billion mark this weekend, making it the studio's second billion-dollar release of 2016 (and 11th ever). Zootopia is so far the No. 1 animated film of the year, and is just the fourth animated feature to hit this box office milestone. Out of all Disney Animation releases, it currently ranks No. 2, with only global smash-hit Frozen ahead.
As of June 5, Zootopia has grossed $337.2M domestically and $663.5M internationally for a global total of $1,000.7M. With a 98% Fresh RottenTomatoes score, Zootopia has been universally embraced by audiences. It earned an A CinemaScore from domestic audiences and spent three weeks at No. 1 following its $75 million debut – the highest ever three-day opening for Disney Animation and the biggest March animated opening ever. It remained in the top 10 domestically for 13 weeks. In China, Zootopia is the highest grossing animated film of all time and Disney's biggest release ever there, while in Russia it is the second biggest industry release ever behind only Avatar.
Zootopia, directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, bowed in theaters in the U.S. and Canada on March 4 — the film arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital on June 7 (details here).

The Aftermath Of A 7.1 Magnitude 'Main Shock' Shakes Southern California Desert All Night
New L.A. Public Library Card Is A Work Of Art
Nonprofit helps California's Asian-American farmers grow their business
A farmer checks on produce at Padao Farms, a 15-acre plot run by the Yang family in Fresno, Calif., that specializes in Asian greens.

Clarissa Wei | NPR | July 12, 2017
Growing up, Youa Yang did not envision himself taking over his family's business. His parents were Hmong refugees from Laos who arrived in Fresno, Calif., in the late 1980s and settled down to become farmers. He went to college for economics and mathematics and found himself knee-deep in the finance industry immediately after graduating.
But, while doing volunteer work, Yang crossed paths with Kyle Tsukahira, a program manager at Asian Pacific Islander Forward Movement (API), a nonprofit dedicated to bringing culturally relevant produce to the Asian enclaves of Los Angeles. It was API that helped Yang see that his family farm had a lot more potential to grow – and gave him the tools to do it, like counseling in marketing, how to obtain organic certifications and the latest farming policies.
Now, Yang, 29, helps his parents run Padao Farms, a 15-acre plot that specializes in traditional Asian greens.
A family photo from the 1990s shows the Yang family sitting on a truck on their farm.

Then Yang went from client to consultant. He's fluent in Hmong and he helps translate the organization's workshops for his fellow Hmong farmers in the Central Valley.
"It made me think about what I really wanted to do in life and the blessings that I had," he says. "What I realized is that my parents are farming in Fresno and that they could use my talents and abilities."
Yang's family farm grows a wide variety of produce catering specifically to an Asian palate. On a late spring day at the farm, one might find water spinach, with hollow stems that soak in the flavor of the garlic, and yam leaves, which are best gently sautéed with a dash of salt. There's bitter melon, which pairs well with black beans, and daikon roots, which are ideally pickled with a bit of white vinegar and sugar. The well-known bok choy is also available and is especially tasty when married to garlic, with a bit of salt and pepper.
In addition to farmers' markets across California, Yang's produce is distributed through Roots, API's Los Angeles-based community-supported agriculture program, which he says has generated significant extra revenue for his farm and provided much-needed marketing assistance.
"What is most difficult about farmers' market for farmers is not only the number [of] trips that it takes, but that they're not guaranteed to sell [their produce] or make the trip worth it," says API's Tsukahira.
Founded in 2013, API works directly with Asian farmers like Yang across California to provide local and healthy food to the Asian and Pacific Islander population in Los Angeles.
According to the 2010 census, the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area has the highest concentration of Asian-Americans in the United States. Over the years, grocery store chains have popped up to serve this population. For Chinese-Americans, that's 99 Ranch and 168 Market. Mitsuwa, Nijiya and Marukai markets, which are three separate market chains, cater to Japanese-Americans, and Galleria and Zion markets target Korean-Americans.
"Not every Asian enclave has access to a grocery store that's selling culturally relevant produce," says Tsukahira, noting that L.A.'s Historic Filipinotown is considered a food desert.
"There are more liquor stores and fast food restaurants than grocery stores, and many community members have to take public transit for about an hour to get to a supermarket," Paul Nguyen, a program coordinator at API, notes of the area.
And for the communities that do have access to a supermarket selling Asian greens, the issue is transparency and localism. While conventional Asian grocery stores are decent at labeling the countries from which they source, the exact suppliers are not divulged and the geographic range is international — anywhere from Mexico to China to Vietnam.
"The thing is that we don't know where they're getting their produce from," Tsukahira says, adding, "What we're trying to do is work with small, local farmers in California."
Over the years, API has worked with dozens of farms through its workshops. Additionally, it works directly with seven farms to distribute produce in the greater Los Angeles area. It's a small operation and the group also dedicates a lot of attention to fostering the Hmong farming community in Fresno County. According to a 2007 survey, there are roughly 1,500 small farms operated by southeast Asian farmers in Fresno County; about 900 of those are Hmong. They're part of a wave of immigrants who came to the United States in the 1980s and later because of persecution following the Vietnam War.
"A lot of them are first-generation immigrants and they're not informed about the rules and regulations and how to get into the farmers' markets," Nguyen says. "We work with them to help get their story out."
Workshop topics include irrigation, food safety, bookkeeping, marketing, and organic certification.
Carrots, bok choy and cucumbers produced by Asian farmers in California that work with the Asian Pacific Islander Forward Movement. The nonprofit helps small farms grow their business through workshops, counseling and produce distribution.
The irrigation workshop, Yang noted, was one of the most helpful and generated the most interest from farmers.
"They taught us the best time to water so you don't get charged as much. And it helped me schedule my water more effectively," Yang says. "The other farmers were really interested because they could finally see why the bills were so high."
Aside from helping farmers with logistics, the ultimate goal for API is to create a food hub — a distribution network in Los Angeles that will provide traditional Asian produce to restaurants, schools, hospitals, community institutions and stores, so that small farmers won't have to make the cumbersome trip into the city on a weekly basis. Even as generations continue to become more Americanized, the produce is a way to maintain cultural relevancy and diversity.
API is also gearing up to start a farmer incubation program, in which the organization will purchase land, obtain all the proper certifications for organic labeling and then lease plots out to the farmers.
On the consumer end, API is offering subsidized vegetables and fruits for low-income families, and cooking and nutrition workshops at affordable housing units.
The focus, ultimately, is the Asian-American community, which makes up 14.7 percent of the metropolitan Los Angeles population. Leafy greens for sautéing, crisp daikon roots for pickling, and mustard greens for salting are an integral part of the population's cultural identity. Yang says his biggest concern isn't a lack of demand for Asian produce, but a lack of farmers to feed that demand.
"We've gotten to a point where people are so disconnected [from] their food and their groceries. With that said, it's one of my favorite things to meet the mothers that show up for our produce," Yang says. "They feed their families with recipes that they grew up with. And it's a huge benefit for them to have access to a price that they're used to."

A.D. 70, Apostasy, church history, Preterism, Rationalism
The Infidelity of Preterism
Posted by houseyoung74 on December 15, 2008
During the past few decades, there has been a significant increase of Preterism among liberal academic circles. While the majority within the Christian church have repudiated the notion that "all things were fulfilled in A.D. 70," the intellectuals have insisted that they know not the truth; and therefore, a widescale push has been launched to disabuse Christians of the concept that there is to be a personal, visible, glorious second coming of Christ.
Of course, any true connection between Christianity and the intellectualism of the schools is nil. Which is why the church has been so unwilling to accept the doctrines of Preterism. It may be safely said, in fact, that Preterism will never work its way into the mainstream for precisely this reason: because it relies on the wisdom of men, and not the power of God.
Do you disagree with me? Well, what did Paul mean when he said: "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Cor. 2: 14). The intellectuals will tell us that this has something to do with esoteric knowledge, which cannot be understood by the ignorant masses, but only by themselves.
Howbeit, it is clear that the "things of the Spirit" must include the very doctrines which Paul was delivering to the churches. The apostle was revealing truths to them which could only be received by them, because they had the Spirit. These truths expressed by Paul were (and still are) deemed foolishness by the world. But they are in truth, the very wisdom of God. Wherefore, when he spoke of the resurrection of the dead to the Athenians, we read that "some mocked" (Acts 17: 32). Because they were not partakers of the Holy Spirit, they considered the doctrine of bodies rising from the graves to be a piece of foolishness–just as men do today.
What is Preterism, really, but the outworking of a latent skepticism, which seeks to find a "perfectly logical explanation" for everything? Because they do not believe it possible for the Son of Man to literally return in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory, literally attended by all His holy angels, they seek a more reasonable explanation: one which leaves revelation stripped of its supernatural elements, and offers an interpretation which satisfies the incredulity of the scholastics.
This trend of "de-supernaturalizing" the doctrine of our Lord's second advent is consistently seen throughout the history of the Preterist movement. One of the earliest Preterists, Eusebius of Caesarea, suggested that the establishment of Christ's kingdom as predicted in Daniel 7 was fulfilled with Constantine's conversion to Christianity, and conjoint reign with his sons (Oration, III. ii, iii).
John Lightfoot (1602-1675), a Protestant divine, was also heavily rationalistic in his interpretations of the second coming. He taught that the "parousia" of Matthew 24: 3 was not a personal coming of Christ, but a providential coming to destroy Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Thus the "angels" of Matt. 24: 31 were interpreted as "ministers," while the "trumpet" was said to be nothing more than the Gospel call. (see Commentary on New Testament from Talmud and Hebraica, Vol. 2., pg. 320).
During the 19th century, such skepticism reached its apex in the development of Hyper-Preterism, a doctrine which probably was invented as a support for Universalism. Notwithstanding this extremist view, however, moderate forms of Preterism were endorsed by a majority of academics.
In his Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel of St. Mark (1896), Ezra P. Gould writes: "God coming in the clouds of heaven with his angels, and preceded or announced by disturbances in the heavenly bodies, is the ordinary prophetic manner of describing any special Divine interference in the affairs of nations... The prophecy becomes thus a prediction of the setting up of the kingdom, and especially of its definite inauguration as a universal kingdom, with the removal of the chief obstacle to that in the destruction of Jerusalem" (pg. 241).
Obviously, such exegesis is purely subjective, and motivated by a tacit avowal that the supernatural elements of the Bible are simply not true. This tradition of rationalizing the Word of God has been carried on by modern Preterists like Gary DeMar, Kenneth Gentry, and James Jordan. But are such teachers following the wisdom of God? Or are they in fact promoting a dangerous form of infidelity?
I would say that the modern proponents of Preterism are no nearer the truth than was Eusebius, or John Lightfoot, or Ezra Gould. Like their forbears, having left the simplicity of the Gospel behind, and embraced man's wisdom, in process of time they become devoid of understanding. Having rejected the revelations of the Holy Spirit, and substituted their own concepts for the truths of God's word, they fall into a mass of unbelief that poisons their very souls. They hearken to Satan himself, who initiates the downslide by asking: "Hath God really said that?" (see Gen. 3: 1).
In their desire to become wise, and to be greater than their brethren, they become puffed up in their own esteeem, and consequently fall. The results of their destructive tenets may be seen throughout academic circles, as also on the worldwide web.
And how many thousands of souls have been lost through such pernicious teaching? If we could hear the cries of those who are now in torment, because they accepted a false Gospel, we would wake up and realize that theology is serious business, and nothing to trifle with. If we are condemned, it is through no fault but our own. But if we stand, it is by faith alone (2 Cor. 1: 24).
While Preterists routinely mock the children of God for the simplicity of their faith, they are unable to see that their own pretensions are products of the flesh, and not of the Spirit. They who walk after the flesh must die. But the Holy Scriptures are the very revelations of the Spirit of God; and they who believe them, with a childlike mind and an implicit faith, will surely live: because they have accepted of the things of the Spirit, by Whose grace they will be upheld.
True, Preterism has slain its thousands and its ten thousands. But for the most part, the people of God are immune to their deceptions. They are so because they accept the plain literal statemements of the Bible as authoritative and absolute. Intead of sitting in judgment on the Word, as sophists do, they submit to the authority of the Word as it judges them, discerning the thoughts and intents of their heart (Heb. 4: 12). How much better to have a lively and simplistic faith, as the apostles did–a faith that is pure and unalloyed– than to embrace one which obscures and confounds the oracles of God insomuch that they can no longer be understood?
We believe that such a faith as theirs must result in shipwreck. Although Preterists now boast of their intellectual superiority, the time is coming when they'll need every ounce of spiritual support their religion can give them. But in that day and that hour, when the darkness comes down, they'll find to their dismay that there is no more oil in their lamps. When that time comes, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Those who discern, however, that Preterism is really just a subtle form of infidelity, will steer as far away from those doctrines as he or she can. As a former Preterist, I assure you that Preterism leads to nowhere but hell. Why? Not because it is positively sinful, but because it is ineffectual to produce the kind of faith that gets a soul to heaven.
If you are a Preterist, please hearken to this message, and ask yourself, has your relationship with God grown better since you've embraced the doctrines of past-fulfillment? You know the answer is no. So what you need to do is wake up, repent of your error, and return to the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ. It's as simple as that.

Oh, woe is man for his ego! When we stand before the awesome God who spun out the universe from His sovereign fingetips, will we say "But Lord, I knew more than your Word and therefore set a date for your return, calling it A.D. 70"?
I deal extensively with this subject in my new end-times novel, "Trouble in the House of Jacob." The web page can viewed if you wish at http://tinyurl.com/4d79yt. Thanks.

Q: Count rows with same values in specific column using pandas I have a csv file containing many products (40k) and many columns with price,category,name...
I want to count how many rows (products) are there in each category (taking them directly from the file) and display it.
How can i do this using pandas? Or is it better to use something else?

A: import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv(PATH_TO_CSV, usecols=['category','products'])
print(df.groupby(['category']).count())

The first line creates a dataframe with two columns(categories and products) and the second line prints out the number of products in each category.

This guide will bring together everything, from services to widgets, that a faculty member needs to bring the best research tools to their students.
Welcome! As educational technology moves forward it is supposed to get easier to connect students to the rich, scholarly digital material from UToledo Libraries. We all know, however, that is often not the case. Links aren't stable - or they don't work off campus. Students don't want to type in the urls from a printed paper syllubi or be bothered to leave BlackBoard.
This guide aims to close the gap between the students and UToledo's libraries by giving you, the faculty, the tools and tricks to embed, link and post the academic content you want your students using.
Whatever you're looking for, please investigate the tabs or contact one of the UToledo librarians.
This page has been build using LibGuides. LibGuides is a web-design utility provided by University Libraries. We use it to design subject guides, class pages and even assignment-specific pages.


Modern textured fabric that is an incredible color of blue, this stretch woven has beautiful drape and a soft hand, yet it is substantial enough for bottoms. It will sew up beautifully into a jacket, vest, skirt or pants. You can keep the pattern simple yet elegant, as the rich texture of the fabric will give the garment plenty of complexity and interest.
