You mentioned that talk pages don't get visited. I'd like to challenge this since I often find useful information and sometimes even contribute to discussions started over 15 years ago. I doubt that this thread will serve for nearly that long.

Sometimes it might take some time to get around fixing the issue reported on talk pages, but at least it will be documented what is wrong.

The few issues I raised on the talk pages seemed to be overlooked. It all depends on what the article itself is about. Kings Eastwood in

Here are a few for you:

Fruit bats :
runescape.wiki/w/Fruit_bat

- I noticed that the bat's inventory used the older/legacy style. Should this use the newer interface style? I only ask for reasons of consistency across articles.


Disambugations of Bat and Yak :
runescape.wiki/w/Bat_(disambiguation) & runescape.wiki/w/Yak_(disambiguation)

- I found this as I was looking at the query above. As you can see from the links, the disambiguation of Yak is better organised than that of Bat, following a clear format. I guess this is something that's true for many of the disambiguations, but from a reader's perspective, consistency would be nice!


On-site link :
I copied a link to the scamming prevention guide to another forum user a few days ago, offering advice on how to avoid scams. However, one of the links in the support centre article still contains a link to the old Fandom. As it's a known fact that the Fandom is increasingly dated and has the potential to contain unsavoury links, the retention of this link is quite concerning... particularly when included in a scam prevention guide.

See 'lurers and anti-lurers' on the provided link:
Scamming prevention guide


I might drop an email to them regarding this, but I thought it was an interesting point to raise.

Thank you, I have done the following:

I marked the image as obsolete. In case you have a screenshot of that interface looking modern, feel free to share so I can update it.

The disambig page of Bat has been ordered the same way as that of Yak.

Th off-site link is beyond the powers of us mere mortals. Sending them an email would indeed be the best action to take. Kings Eastwood in

Thanks.

I'll see if I can grab an image of the newer BoB inventory layout that can be used.

Regarding the link: I was aware of that and I sent off a quick email regarding this. It has been forwarded on.

^ The above issue has been resolved. ;)

runescape.wiki/w/Sawmill_operator

- Still mentions a sawmill operator in Taverley. Looking at the history, it was changed to Rimmington but it has been since changed back. I'm not sure why.

runescape.wiki/w/Special_teak_log

- Also mentions the operator in Taverley.

This reminds me: I need to take that screenshot!
