This sounds like a cash grab to me... I hope to see more improvements to the platform.

Wait... A cash grab??? By Jagex or by the RS-Wiki...
WHAT? XD

Amazing change.

I really hope for integration with the game. It would be a massive QoL improvement to right-click an item or quest to go directly to the wiki page.
It would also be nice with official 3D models from the game in the wiki for each item.

Hope that it shapes up like the TF2 wiki, where contributors get a unique cosmetic reward for actively contributing to the wiki.

Praise be! The lagging effect of the all the side and top banner ads meant it was impossible to open the wiki and RS at the same time without the game slowing to a ridiculous degree. Well done all involved.

Contributors can get a title, "the Wikian"!

Yes, finally! I really LOVE this move away from the old wikia - as a longtime user, it was in a massive state of deterioration (infrastructure wise).

Also, there were massive amounts of advertisements as well as pop-ups that would take up half or even the full screen; random redirects to malicious sites were also becoming an issue that I noticed.

Not even some of the longtime fan sites related to Runescape were ever that bad. Shout outs to Mod Balance and the wiki admins for helping this become a reality. Quest Cape Skill Requirements

Very happy to see this transition occur for the various reasons already listed.

Definitely creates a controlled design environment, where the Admins have full control over everything that appears on the site, and the lack of ads is also very beneficial as well. Can I turn in a paper without citing all sources?

I was very skeptical (yes, there was a wiki before), but this actually looks really good.

Assuming in time all the calculators etc. will be fixed. :-)

Wow...saw it on Reddit and then boom! Quick. Hope it works nicely for everyone involved.

I was getting tired (to the final point) of all the goddarmed intrusive popadds, videos, etc (I don't run a lot of background stuff/blockers on this system...can't).

Pissoffed when I started reading something, then boom, screen moves, regain where I was reading, boom screen moves. The old place was shit. Hope new place ain't.

Bravo! Much cleaner looking, search is always in the same spot, changed to fixed width and updated my favorite bookmarks.

Thanks for making this happen.
