{{nutshell|Don't make articles about players or clan chats.}}

''RuneScape'' has had many famous players for one reason or another. Everyone knows the highest ranked players, infamous bug abusers, player killers, and players or clans with high combat levels.

However, '''players and clans do not deserve their own articles'''. If a page is repeatedly re-created, it can be [[RuneScape:Protection policy|protected from creation]]. If you want to make an article about a player, whether yourself or another, make it in your [[Special:Mypage|userspace]].
Players are only allowed to be '''mentioned''' in articles for a few reasons, all of which should be [[RS:SG/R|cited]], if possible. The only reasons are that the player is:
#Highly notable, such as ''Durial321''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s involvement with the Falador Massacre.
#Specifically mentioned by [[Jagex]], such as player designed content.
#First to reach [[Level 99 skills|level 99]] in a skill.
#First to reach [[200 million experience]] in a skill.

Whenever players are mentioned, their usernames should be formatted in ''italics'' as some usernames can be confused with normal wording, e.g. ''Cursed You'' was banned for real world trading. For reasons 3 and 4, try to add a link to the [[hiscores]] using {{t|hs|username}}. This way the information in the article can easily be verified, e.g. ''{{hs|Unohdettu2}}'' being first to reach 200 million experience in Hitpoints.

If players are mentioned in an article for reasons other than those stated above, the name should be removed.
