Project Information[edit | edit source]

The goal of this project is to use Template:Subject changes to document every change to OSRS since its launch in 2013 on their respective changes. The easiest way to complete this project should be to go through update-by-update, adding the changes in and marking off completed updates. For reference, the RSW project can be found here, and their organization page can be found here.

An example of a high-quality changelog can be found at Barbarian Assault#Changes.

Process[edit | edit source]

Go through each update, adding each change to every relevant page. The release date for the page's subject does not need to be added as a change, as that information is generally kept to the infobox
For the most part, simply copying the relevant patch line is enough for the changes section on the page, but at times needs clarification or condensing for ease of reading
- Keep an eye out for cases where Jagex refers to themselves as "we" (e.g. "we've now made it possible to [...]"), as leaving that as is would imply the wiki is responsible for the change, as well as cases where they use humorous or other non-encyclopedia friendly language (e.g. "The Kalphite Queen has undergone some royal surgery and now offers a much more rewarding range of drops")
The section should be located near the bottom of the article, above the Trivia, References and See Also sections but below the Gallery section (if applicable) and all other sections.
Make sure you're following the proper order (reverse chronological, this means that the most recent updates should be at the top).
Some changes apply to multiple pages, but use common sense (feel free to ask others if unsure)
Once done with an update, use <s> and </s> to strikethrough the update and sign the line to indicate completion
If there's any questions, bring them up in #update-history or #osrs-wiki in the discord (or add them to the talk page here I guess)
