== What not to do ==
As a result of the bot generating much of the content on the wiki from the game's source code, please do not manually edit the content generated by it. This will disrupt the automatic version flagging when new versions of the game are released, and can potentially decrease the overall accuracy of information on the wiki and style consistency. This currently includes:
* The [[Template:Item|Item Template]], [[Template:ArmourStats|Armour Stats Template]], and [[Template:WeaponStats|Weapon Stats Template]] on [[:Category:Items|Item]] pages
* The [[:Category:Item Sources|Item Source Templates]] generated for each item page
** If you wish to add information on an item source, please edit the text above the placement of the template
* The [[Template:Monster|Monster Template]] on [[:Category:Monsters|Monster]] pages
* The [[Template:Dungeon|Dungeon Template]], [[Template:SlayerArea|Slayer Area Template]], and [[Template:CombatArea|Combat Area Template]] on [[:Category:Dungeons|Dungeon]], [[:Category:Slayer Areas|Slayer Area]], and [[:Category:Combat Areas|Combat Area]] pages respectively
* The [[Template:Prayer|Prayer Template]] on [[:Category:Prayers|Prayer]] pages
* The [[Template:Spell|Spell Template]], [[Template:Aurora|Aurora Template]], [[Template:Curse|Curse Template]], [[Template:AncientMagick|Ancient Magick Template]], and [[Template:AltMagic|Alt. Magic Template]] on [[:Category:Spells|Spell]] pages
* The [[Template:Pet|Pet Template]] on [[:Category:Pets|Pet]] pages
* The [[Template:Upgrade|Shop Upgrade Template]] on [[:Category:Upgrades|Upgrade]] pages, with the exception of [[Shop#Miscellaneous|Misc. Upgrades]] which are maintained manually.
* All [[:Category:Tables|Table Templates]]
If you do find an issue with the accuracy of information in any of these templates, it is possible that the internal game data is flawed, or there has been a recent hotfix (hidden update without a version number change) to the game code and the bot needs to run an update to the pages.
