Guide organisation
One encounter should have one home. Beginner guides, advanced rotations, lower-effort methods, and achievements belong together, with context to help you choose.
The design combines a compact wiki shell, a searchable library, stable article links, a local reading checklist, and focused boss hubs. The field illustrations are original geometric artwork, not in-game renders.
Sources & adaptation
This edition contains 323 full guide snapshots and 5 original site-information summaries, captured from pvme.io. Guide navigation stays in this product. The complete page index and coverage report document this snapshot. It is not an automatic update feed.
Guide text is by PvME contributors under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Navigation and typography are adapted. Chat channel references are connected to their website guides where the source provides a verified destination; unavailable references are labelled in place. Guide text, tables, ability sequences and media are retained where supported. Media availability and rights are tracked separately in the asset manifest. RuneScape imagery remains the property of Jagex; third-party media keeps its original ownership. The guide-text licence does not relicense game art, fonts, or external videos.
PvME’s live site warns that much of its content is outdated after Combat Modernization. Source capture dates are not combat-review dates. No guide in this edition is labelled current or independently verified.

Wiki compatibility
Implemented in this edition
- Canonical RuneScape Wiki article links for every boss hub.
- Stable entity IDs, guide IDs, categories, heading anchors, source records, and license metadata.
- Downloadable plain MediaWiki drafts for the copied guides, retaining attribution and modification notices.
- A separate content model, so presentation does not become the source of truth.
Not implemented or implied
There is no live RuneScape Wiki API connection, write-back, shared authentication, automatic sync, or completed migration. Interactive filters and saved lists do not transfer as wiki content.
RuneScape Wiki
The independent Wiki is operated by Weird Gloop. Its licensing policy identifies RuneScape content as CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 and requires compatible import terms. PvME content is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Do not silently change that licence. A real import requires rights and community review plus target-specific template and category mapping.
Wikia / Fandom
Fandom is a separate platform, not the independent RuneScape Wiki. The plain-wikitext export is a starting point, but its import workflow, permissions, content licensing, and template dependencies must be reviewed separately.
A practical next architecture
Keep PvME’s maintained source as the input. Normalise it into structured blocks with provenance. Render this product from that model, and keep MediaWiki and any future Wiki data adapters separate. MediaWiki XML imports do not bundle media files or configuration.
The exporter preserves basic headings, paragraphs, emphasis, links, and lists. Rich tables, embedded media, nested widgets, and platform-specific constructs need manual review before import. It is a draft interchange format, not a finished MediaWiki migration.
Contributor accounts and drafts
The reader remains public. The contributor pilot uses Discord identity-only sign-in and invitation-only access. Drafts and review records are stored privately in PostgreSQL. Approved guide snapshots and review receipts are backed up in a private Git repository. A reviewer approves the snapshot, a maintainer merges it, and the site verifies publication. The editor stays unavailable until those services are configured.
All 323 guide documents are available in this contributor prototype. Text is editable; media, links, tables and other formatting stay structurally protected. Existing game and source licences still apply.
Small by design. Local to your browser.
This shareable, independent prototype does not ask for an account or collect game data. Bookmarks and reading progress stay in this browser’s local storage. The application has no third-party scripts or analytics SDK. Hosting providers may record operational request logs. This Vercel preview does not enable Web Analytics or Speed Insights. Some externally hosted media may contact its original provider when displayed. External reference links suppress the referring page URL. Asset dependency details are available in the manifest.
The new front end is dependency-free static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Essential navigation and guide text work without JavaScript. Search, filtering, saved hubs, and progress tracking are progressive enhancements.
