I came on earlier and decided to make a guide on some NPC training spots. Then I thought to myself why create a huge page full of information when I could create a wiki-like website. So that's what I began to do.
Through this website we as a community can record everything on the server, from NPCs to items and so on.
Write access will be given to those who can adhere to some form of grammar and correct spelling.
RuneRebels Wiki (Unofficial) (http://runerebels.pure2.net/)
Also I am no website designer, if you wish to see something changed say so!
To do:
- Allow user accounts.
- Create a BB Code-like syntax to make editing easier. - Enabled for page editting for now
- Add a two-way syntax parser.
- Make calculating drop rates easier.
- Make calculating drop rates even easier.
- Allow account management.
- Allowing the creation of new pages.
- Allow the submission of user created tools. (for now this will be done manually, you will receive credit for your work, make sure the language you use is web-based - Java applets will not be allowed)
- Add cookies to allow users to stay logged in.
- Fix up the tables.
- Polish up the design some more.
- More design polishes.
- By popular demand, use of different fonts.
- Making adding images to pages easier.
- Making all the item images transparent.
- Member list.
- Enabling/disabling certain links in the navigation bar.
Another update, check out the polished design :)
Permissions:
- You can edit pages.
- You can create new pages.
- You can manage accounts (permissions)
Current list of permissions:
Some available syntax:
Drop Calculations - Type the following before you begin calculating drops [init]TOTAL_KILLS[/init]
Then for each drop just type [calc]AMOUNT_OF_DROPS[/calc] (You'll need to do this for every value, even if you don't change all of them)
Item Images - Type the following everywhere you want an item image [item-image]ITEM_ID[/item-image]
Skill Images - Type the following [skill-image]SKILL_NAME[/skill-image] - Skill Names (case sensitive): attack, agility, construction, cooking, crafting, defence, farming, firemaking, fishing, fletching, herblore, hitpoints, hunter, magic, mining, overall, prayer, ranged, runecraft, slayer, smithing, strength, summoning, thieving & woodcutting.

Nice, a wiki for our server would be awesome... but the design needs improvement. Pictures of the items would be a good start.
-
I plan on taking images of all of the in-game items, NPCs etc. I'll probably dump the cache if possible for it. That will all come after the initial design.

I will give you my take on it (constructive criticism):
-There are only like 5 NPCs (you don't even have all the information for them) so there is a ton to be done.
-The font on the banner looks horrid.
-Basic 'times new roman' font looks pretty boring.
-The theme is pretty unattractive.
However, I will say that it is a good idea and it's a good thing to start. I understand it's a work in progress but don't forget how much "STUFF" there was and how much information is going to need to be added to wiki.

Hello, thanks for your suggestions and I will address them all now.
- I think that it's impossible for me to run around and documentate everything on the server in four days; remember it's a wiki, it's meant to have a range of authors, not just one. Ryan is contemplating giving me the drop tables, item stats etc. If that happens I will write a program to convert all of the drops, item stats etc. into web pages. Until then you'll have to bare with me OR you can contribute!
- You can either: suggest one, design one or simply disregard it's existance. Hey, you can always use your own CSS.
- Give me a suggestion.
- It's a wiki not a fashion contest, as per usual, suggest changes or use your own CSS.
Side note: Images of items, NPCs etc. will be added once I find silabsoft, she knows a lot about clients and can probably help me out.

This is fucking awesome. Great work 8)

Do you have something else to say apart from linking to another wiki? Tell me how you've dumped all of the cache's images for use! Tell me have you have full control over content on your wiki. Tell me how you have automated drop calculations.
This is fucking awesome. Great work 8)
Once Ryan gives me some data, the awesomeness will proceed! Thank you.

I never said that wiki had anything, however thats where the wiki should be instead of a thread on the forums. Its more organized and the wiki already exists.
-
A wiki would be sweet it would help em with things that ive forgotten.
-
A wiki sounds great mate hope it turns out well

It will bring up issues which I'm too lazy to solve, but since you quoted it I'll get around to it today.

If you have a lot/need new pages created just message me the content. I will be giving you edit permissions if I am certain that you have some content to add!

Alright sounds good man. I'll be able to get a lot of NPC's and items straight away. I'll start working on it when the server is done lagging.. -.-

The forums are just as capable of containing material that a wiki could, plus your "website" is displeasing to the eye. Remember the guides section?

If you are going to post such retarded content, I will simply not give you a comprehensible response.

Do you really think he could have all the links, pictures, tables and so on a forum post?
Plus a wiki is meant to be edited by everyone, he wouldn't be able to do that with a forum post.

well at least get wiki site, not just a bunch of poorly made html codes. Google how to make a wiki.
-
The fact that hes making it without using a template as you suggest makes his wiki unique, which in my opinion is good. A wiki site doesn't have to follow any template at all.. As long as things are categorized, accessible and accurate it counts as a wiki in my opinion - no matter how it looks.
@Op: I suggest adding a search bar to the wiki :)

The design not being the most attractive doesn't mean that I'm using "poorly made html codes". If you knew anything about development you would also realise that the core of the project is PHP, so the HTML is irrelevant.
ps If you can develop a nicer design then do it. We can always use another person's template!

That's plagiarism, contact them first for their permission.
Also the whole point of my project was to improve my knowledge of PHP, not of using a WYSIWYG editor.

Not trying to defend skiller, but how is using Wikia plagiarism?

I was assuming that he told me to use their template, not their service. Using their service would be against my entire OP and would render him a moron, hence I didn't assume that, for his sake.

Awesome :)
