Wikipedia:WikiProject RuneScape

[edit] 

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to the RuneScape series. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please add your name to the List of Participants below, and see what you can do.

This Wikiproject has been formed, and the basic design is laid out. If you have anything to add to the pages, or if any frames are missing just press the "EDIT" button in the top-right hand corner of the frame, enter your content, and save the page. Please do NOT edit this main page unless you know what you are doing. ≈Agentscott00

[edit] 

• Change most mentions of "you" to "players" and when possible and appropriate, be more specific such as "attacker", "wielder", etc.
• Get more references for all the articles such as postings on the official RuneScape site here: [1] or some other site.
• Use consistency for all terms throughout the articles. E.g. RuneScape and RuneScape Classic must look like this when mentioned. The proper term is "two handed sword" for any of the two handed swords.
• Write out contractions, do not use abbreviations, change everything to the British spellings of words, fix grammar and spelling, etc.
• Generally improve the RuneScape Series in whatever way you can.
• Add [[Category:RuneScape Images]] to any RuneScape images you see.
• Change the selected article at the start of each month.
• Change the RuneScape News section on the Portal if new news on RuneScape comes out.
• Cite your work! All information placed into the RuneScape Wiki and Portal MUST be cited, per WP:V.
• Watch the articles in the series for vandalism and remove it when it appears.
• Remove all fancruft from the articles, keeping them encyclopaedic. See here for a guide.

[edit] 

Currently, the articles selected for collaboration are RuneScape weaponry and RuneScape armour. It has been suggested that they be merged into RuneScape combat. If you can help out, feel free to discuss on this project's talk page. Below is a rough list of different jobs which need to be done during the merge.

• Merge RuneScape weaponry and RuneScape armour into RuneScape combat. See here for a re-written version of the equipment section
• Remove all fancruft from the articles
• Keep the information encyclopedic - we're writing for non-players too
• Ensure that everything is referenced with a reliable source
• Re-write the range + mage sections
