Taskman Wiki:Editing guide

This guide will show you how to add a missing task to the wiki!

Creating the task page

• Search for the task title on the wiki. If the page already exists, move on to the section on creating ID redirects. If not, keep reading.
• Click the red link at the top of the search page. This link will take you to an editing screen, where you can insert code to create the page.
• Paste the following code into the editor field:

{{stub}}
{{Infobox Task
|description=
|tier=
|id=
|wiki=
}}

• Fill in the necessary fields:
  • The description field takes the literal description of the task, as copied from the Taskman website.
  • The tier field takes all the tiers this task is in, separated by commas. This can be one (Medium) or multiple (Hard,Elite,Master). Make sure you do not insert any spaces here.
  • The id field takes the ID or IDs of the task, separated by commas. This can be one (ABCD) or multiple (ABCD,EFGH,IJKL,MNOP). Make sure you do not insert any spaces here.
  • The wiki field takes a RuneScape Wiki page name, which will automatically create a link to that page in the infobox.

An example for the task Obtain a unique sentient letter might be:

{{stub}}
{{Infobox Task
|description=Found by skilling in the Empty Zaros Throne Room upon completion of the Digsite quest with either an Agility or Divination level of 65.
|tier=Medium
|id=XGX4,47M6,99NV,ZBQ4
|wiki=Sentient Letters
}}

This creates the following infobox: (Note that the title is automatically generated on the page; in the source code of this page, the task parameter has been filled in order to make it show up correctly for the example.)

Obtain a unique sentient letter
Description
Found by skilling in the Empty Zaros Throne Room upon completion of the Digsite quest with either an Agility or Divination level of 65.
Tier	Medium
ID	XGX4 47M6 99NV ZBQ4
RS Wiki page	Sentient Letters

Save the page by clicking the blue "Save page" button below the editor, and the new task page has been created!

Creating ID redirects

If the page already exists, ID redirects need to be created in order for the site to link to the correct task using the wiki link on the dashboard. The following process needs to be repeated for each ID on the page.

• Search for the task ID in the search bar at the top of the page (for example, XGX4). Make sure you are searching for the ID in all-caps, otherwise problems may arise further down the line.
• If you get redirected to the previously made task page, the redirect already exists, and you can move on to the next ID.
• If you get a search page with a red link at the top of the results, click that link.
• Insert the following piece of code:

#REDIRECT [[Page name here]]

For example, for the earlier mentioned sentient page example, it would look like this:

#REDIRECT [[Obtain a unique sentient letter]]

• Save the page using the blue "Save page" button below the editor, and the redirect has been created. After editing, make sure that the link in the new page is not red - if it is, it means you typed the page name wrong. Click the "edit" link at the top of the page to correct it. After editing, you will not be automatically redirected, but if you put the ID in the search bar again, you should automatically be taken to the correct page.
