What this page is for[]

  • Protecting/unprotecting pages. Highly visible pages or content that may have links from outside websites are encouraged to have some level of protection. This can also include a request for administrators to try and calm down an edit war. This should be done according to the Runescape:Protection policy.
  • Moving/renaming protected pages and files. Due to vandals' mis-use of the page move tool, some pages are protected from being renamed except by an administrator. If you can make a compelling case for a page move, or consensus has been reached on the respective discussion page related to the page you think needs to be renamed, formal requests for the page move can happen here. New contributors to this wiki or "anonymous" users wishing to rename a page that don't have the page move option available to them yet are also welcome to make such requests on this page.
  • Minor edits to protected pages. This is mostly on protected templates that can have a substantial impact on the whole wiki if they are changed, so caution is urged when they are modified.
  • Announcements that are intended to be across the whole wiki. This appears on MediaWiki:Sitenotice, and should be something that would be of interest to the whole community.
  • Importing pages from another wiki. While seldom used for content on this wiki, this is an option that is available for bringing in content from another wiki and preserving its edit history, which requires administrator rights. This may involve some special actions on the part of Wikia Central to open this option between two MediaWiki projects, so be patient if you wish to make this sort of request. MediaWiki importing tools can sometimes be buggy, so be gentle on volunteer administrators doing this task.
  • Hiding revisions and/or edit summaries. In the case of blatant copyright violations, significantly offensive material, identity establishing information, or any other content that poses a major risk to the wiki or its editors, the revision(s) may be hidden using Special:RevisionDelete.
  • General questions to the administrators of this wiki. You might get a faster reply by posting on the User help page; however, the administrators here will try to help you to the best of their abilities.

What this page is not for[]

  • Problems that do not require administrator tools to complete. Instead, please visit the user help page.
  • Problem users who may be vandalising content pages. Instead, please note the user that may be causing problems on the Counter-Vandalism Unit page.
  • Requests to become an administrator. If you are interested in learning what an administrator does or how you can become one, please visit the Administrators page for information about administrators and Requests for adminship page for the process to become an administrator.
  • General discussions about administrator behaviour. Most policy discussions, including policies that govern administrators, ought to be started on the watercooler and kept to that forum for input from the larger RS wiki community.
  • Minor requests for deletion. If you've accidentally duplicated content or wish to just clean up a mess you've made on the wiki, you should simply tag the page with {{D|Reason(s) for nomination}}.

Note: Please only make requests on this page that specifically require sysop tools to fulfill.

Requests[]

  • Please revert the theme to the old one for readability. New transparent scheme with purple links on purple background looks terrible and is harder on the eyes. Needs better contrast.

While reverting vandalism and pages that were incorrectly reverted, I ran into issues on two pages. I was flagged for bad language while attempting to revert these two pages to previous revisions. I can not find any bad language. Please review them for me.

Page 1: Here is the still vandalized Legend's Quest page. I attempted to revert it to this previous revision, but there are 

Page 2: Here is the still vandalized Wilderness Diary page. I attempted to revert it to this previous revision

Undoing vandalism in Champions' Guild[]

After today's earlier vandalization on the OldSchool RuneScape Wiki, there were a few pages that I encountered that had the wrong contents and I've undone them in their History page. However, when I try to revert back to the latest legitimate edit for Champions' Guild, the Wiki blocked my revert for "offensive language". I don't know what's in the page from Shasta Sms's or Shockstorm's revision that's considered "offensive" (I haven't tried any further back). --NejiHyuga900 (talk | contributions) "I am the Thunder Dragon!" 02:11, October 25, 2018 (UTC)

It is related to the edit filter. Unfortunately, it requires administrator powers to bypass that, it seems. MechQueste talk 03:12, October 25, 2018 (UTC)

Undoing Vandalism[]

I'm trying to fix the page for Weiss, but it won't let me because it contains "offensive language" when I'm reverting it to an old post  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mini zion (talk) on 23:32, January 6, 2019 (UTC).

Vandalism[]

The page for Old School Runescape needs an administrator to undo the Vandalism as reverting it says "Inappropriate Language"  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mini zion (talk) on 23:42, January 6, 2019 (UTC).

Abuse filter 19[]

Can abuse filter 19 be deleted? It's doesn't serve much benefit and prevents me from correcting redirects. I actually got blocked by it while trying to clean up. Nericat (talk) 19:54, March 22, 2020 (UTC)

money making guide[]

can mmg be unprotected now that vandalism has died down? Nericat (talk) 19:56, March 22, 2020 (UTC)

navbox category[]

template:navbox should auto-add category:navbox templates to templates that use it. it would be cool if it could be ported to Lua too. it's currently sysop-protected Nericat (talk) 20:11, March 22, 2020 (UTC)

fake admins[]

there are users that have the administrator category thing on their userpage but on the one list they don't show up. i think they're impersonating being an administrator!!!!
