WikiProject MMO's RuneScape Task Force

Shortcut: WP:MMO/RS WP:MMOG/RS WP:RUNESCAPE

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 here, and see what you can do. It is parented by WikiProject MMO and WikiProject CVG.

Announcements

8^th March 2007
The linkspam templates have been upgraded with better code and to reflect the new arrangement with fansite links, allowing three major fansites (due to a relaxation of WP:EL). The templates also now support an optional article name parameter, for specifying a certain article. CaptainVindaloo (talk • contribs)

27^th January 2007
We have moved again, and are now located at WikiProject_Massively_multiplayer_online_games/RuneScape. This was to shorten the title only, no other major changes have occured. Agentscott00 (talk • contribs)

How can I contribute to this project ?

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.
Be more specific in what you are talking about, simply saying go north or something is pointless, explain the area ect.

Current Collaboration

Currently, the article selected for collaboration is RuneScape gods. It probably needs rewriting from the ground up, and urgently needs sources. It could also be reformatted, per the recently closed AfD, starting with a move to RuneScape history.

Reliable sources include the History of RuneScape, and other articles in the Knowledge Base.
