| Frequently asked questions
- Q: What kind of English should be used in the article? American? British?
- A: British English should always be used as RuneScape is originally a British game.
- Q: Why can't I edit the article?
- A: Because of vandalism, the article is indefinitely semi-protected, so only established users can edit it. If you cannot edit the article but wish to make an edit, put a request on the talk page using the {{editsemiprotected}} template and someone will respond to it as soon as possible.
- Q: Should I be putting information into the article that only RuneScape players would be interested in?
- A: No. No matter how many RuneScape players actually visit this article, this is still an encyclopedia, not a game guide. Information on the article should be useful to a worldwide audience. The RuneScape Wiki would welcome information of this sort; however, Wikipedia is not the place for it.
- Q: I am a RuneScape player and want to add interesting RuneScape details, why are my edits always reverted?
- A: It is likely the content you added is not suitable for an encyclopedia, but remember to be bold too. The RuneScape Wiki and StrategyWiki cover RuneScape in detail.
- Q: May I put my opinion into the article?
- A: No. As this is an encyclopedia, everything is to be written in a neutral point of view and thus do not push your opinion.
- Q: Why aren't there any fansites?
- A: Editors on this page have established a consensus that no fansites should be included, and Wikipedia's guidelines discourage their use anyway. Instead, we link to the Open Directory Project which provides a list of useful resources related to RuneScape. Consensus can change, however, and you are free to revive discussion on this topic if you wish.
- Q: Why are there so many dead/archived links?
- A: In November 2011 the official Knowledge Base, which we relied on heavily as a source of information, was converted to a wiki. As wikis are not reliable sources we cannot update the links and must rely on old archived versions. If you can suggest suitable replacement sources, please make a request on the talk page.
