~Brings in more cookies~

I do have a question and can't seem to find where it might be addressed after some substantial reading here, and wondered if it had been brought up before.

I know several/many clans have wiki pages. I have ours bookmarked because I do the editing on ours. But I was checking this morning to see how a new person to the site would have to go about accessing it. I was surprised at just how buried it seems to be.

If a new person were just coming into RuneScape, I don't think they would ever find the clan wiki pages that so many people have spent so much time making look professional and a true representation of their clans. And, let's face it, looking at wall after wall of text is not something most folks will do, just find something that they don't even know is there. Even more experienced players don't even know it exists.

Is there a way to get those pages to a more "higher tier" link or easier to find or something? Or is it just me? And should this be posted elsewhere?

On the Clan forums you have the option to link to a runescape wiki page. So something you can do is make a thread on your clan forums explaining your clan a bit, and for detailed things you can refer a link to the wikipage. Make that thread public and then add it to your vex as the "official thread".

Then just plant your vex somewhere. That's really the only thing I can think of.

Dave your article is absolutely correct. I've seen many a clan suffer because of them, and have myself on occasion made a couple of those mistakes.

Another one you might want to add is:

"I'm never wrong"
Being human means we have the capacity to be wrong, and it's guaranteed that we will be so on several occasions. Trying to prove you are right all the time can lead to more mistakes being made and a loss in confidence from your members.

Or something along those lines.

Short and sweet, I like it. I agree with the majority of it :)

Side note: Gotta love it when your connection goes from 22 MBps down and 9 MBps up to 0.02 MBps down and 0.5 MBps up by moving my laptop about 3 inches. I think it's time to get a new router lol.
