Falador Massacre was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 19 March 2022 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into RuneScape.

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.
RuneScape was a Sports and recreation good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere (such as on our sister project, Wikibooks), in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game.Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first.
The following references may be useful when improving this article in the future:
Ensure that article remains readable without excessive detail.
Tweak/correct prose and readability as appropriate.
Remove or adjust material that is in-universe or written from a fictional perspective.
Mention the game's release schedule, which has not been covered before.
Reception section needs work, such as more recent reviews, more player reception, etc.
Other forms of media are mentioned in the lead but not the article. Can more info like this be found?

Under Servers subsection add: The player per world limit was reduced from the maximum of 2000 to 1500 on August 3, 2020. [1]Jspoelstra (talk) 19:17, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not done While I don't doubt this is correct, we need a reliable source to accompany this. The official news post connected to that date doesn't mention a change in the maximum server capacity, and the RuneScape Wiki itself is not a reliable source for our purposes. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 22:00, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
