I'm feeling productive today!

So, the auction tracker... does it read "k" as "x1000"? There are some items where it seems that it doesn't. If it does, and someone really was selling those Shining Metallic Robes for 6p, then I guess they gave away the deal of a lifetime.

Is there a way for me to dig into how it pulls data out of the logs? Or is that an admin only thing since it effects so much of the wiki. I'd also suggest a median price to go along with the mean as sometimes a really large or small logged price can skew the results dramatically. I know there's the last 20 logs of that item below, but I think having that info up top with the 30d and 90d averages would be useful.

Here's the thing: the guy who made the auction system (Rahvin) no longer plays. Before he stopped he had a way for people to correct prices, but it had a "the cure is worse than the illness" problem because people could abuse it to inflate/deflate prices.

Thus, he made it so only admins can correct prices. This is an imperfect solution, but unless someone else out there wants to write PHP code to do what you suggest, all you can do is pester me whenever you notice an item with a particularly egregious price problem.

But of course, if you can code in PHP I strongly encourage a solution like the one you proposed! The source code is here: http://wiki.project1999.com/utils/wikiUtils.php.
