This page is up to date (v1.2.2).


Note: As of V0.17.0, the bot has been discontinued in favour of automating page updates using Lua modules.


Coolrox95 created a bot for the wiki. The main purpose of the bot is to upload all the item and monster pages to the wiki, and maintain them as needed. The source code for the bot can be found here (Forked from the original bot);

  • Automatically update changed images.
  • Make sure proper templates, categories and menus are added to each page.

  • Uploads/Updates images for Dungeons, Combat Areas, Slayer Areas, Items, Monsters, Spells, Upgrades, Prayers and Pets.
  • Updates bot generated pages without interfering with user added descriptions, and detects if the underlying data has changed.
    • If the data has not changed or if the page does not contain any user made content, the game version of the page is automatically updated.
