I don't know whether you have seen [[User talk:Jeff#Automatic Import|my idea for an automatic import]], but as you're quite active here, I'd thank you if you could take a look. I don't want to start uploading lots of pages without wider consent. Maybe you could even include a link to that section in [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]]? --[[User:SlashMe|SlashMe]] ([[User talk:SlashMe|talk]]) 10:11, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

: Have you seen {{tl|comicbox}}?  I'm not sure, but I wonder if your page and that one are two different ideas of how to present the same information?  (Once it's imported, anyway.)  At any rate, if you give me the text you want put in the Sitenotice, I'll take a look at it.  (May not get to it today; you can always ask a different admin if I don't.) --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 20:06, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

:: Should I put something in the editnotice saying we need to agree on formats first?  Or do you think it'd be better to upload them so we at least have ''something'' and then use a bot (I can task [[wikipedia:WP:AWB|AWB]] to do that, once I figure out a few [[wikipedia:regular expressions|regular expressions]]) to convert your uploads to whatever format we end up deciding on?  --''[[User:Philosopher|Philosopher]]''&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Philosopher|Let us reason together.]]</sup> 20:19, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

:: Hmm... Well, we could add <nowiki>{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|blah|yes|no}}</nowiki> checks (or a #switch if we'd rather make it opt-in rather than opt-out). I think it's generally better to keep all logic in the templates rather than splitting stuff across many pages. --[[User:Waldir|Waldir]] ([[User talk:Waldir|talk]]) 16:55, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

Oops! Thanks for catching that. The signature was one of the many I [http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/User:Hofmic/Signaturescreated on a  different wiki], but I missed one of the links. Should be fixed now. {{User:Omega/sig}} 06:27, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
