== Formatting problems (just me?) ==

Now that the server has changed, all the formatting seems to have changed! Templates that should be on the right and next to the text (e.g. on episode pages) are on the left and pushing the text down! Is anyone else seeing these problems? --[[User:Flicky1991|Flicky1991]] 07:06, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
:It's not just you, I'm seeing it as well. --[[User:Boy Blunderous|Boy Blunderous]] 07:09, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
::We're on a newer version of MediaWiki, and it broke some of the templates. It'll be fixed soon, once we figure out why they're not formatting up right.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 07:22, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
:::As I said on the Community Portal just there, [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#CSS.2FJs various LocalSettings.php variables] like $wgAllowUserCss and $wgUseSiteCss appear to have gone from "true" to "false" (or just plain deleted - I think they default false) in the move. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 07:39, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

== Go Box problem? ==

The GoBox is currently not there, no matter which browser I view this page in. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 07:50, 27 March 2013 (EDT)
:Same for me. Normally when it disappears all I have to do is refresh the page, but even that's not working at the moment. -- [[User:Spydersix|spyder]][[User Talk:Spydersix|Use this!]] 08:00, 27 March 2013 (EDT)
::The forum signature GoBoxes are knackered too. Those just come up as a white rectangle. Something is indeed amiss. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 09:00, 27 March 2013 (EDT)
:::So, is anyone on this yet? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 16:02, 27 March 2013 (EDT)

== Not On Schedule ==

Did IDW stop making TF comics? If not can we please update the Schedule? [[User:Phantom|Phantom]] 13:01, 4 April 2013 (EDT)
:I don't keep track of the comics much, but I've had a bash at updating it with this month's releases. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 16:05, 4 April 2013 (EDT)
::That should be fine, I think so long as the next issues's release dates are on there. [[User:Phantom|Phantom]] 16:19, 4 April 2013 (EDT)

== Current Releases Series Addition ==

Dunno who added the series abbreviation before each entry under the IDW Transformers section under Current Releases (MtMtE, RiD, Spotlight, Monstrosity) but I really like it. Makes it easier to quickly tell which latest item you're looking for. Could the same be done with the other categories (Transformers Prime especially)? [[User:Excise|Excise]] 13:10, 12 June 2013 (EDT)

==Featured Article - October 2013==
It's October 4th - is there a new Featured Article ready to go? - [[User:RolonBolon|RolonBolon]] 20:49, 4 October 2013 (EDT)
:We're gonna need a new one soon. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] 17:23, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
I think the next featured article should be Bumper G1! - [[User:Bumblejumper|Bumblejumper]] 23:07, 4 November 2013 (EST)
:It's not impressive enough, since Bumper (G1) has barely appeared in anything. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 23:12, 4 November 2013 (EST)
: Yeah, you got a point there! - [[User:Bumblejumper|Bumblejumper]] 23:15, 4 November 2013 (EST)

==TFP==
I noticed that Predacons Rising is still under "current releases", but it's several months old. I just wanted to mention this. - [[User:Silverboltmtmte|Silverboltmtmte]] ([[User talk:Silverboltmtmte|talk]]) 15:42, 14 December 2013 (EST)
:Though the TV premiere happened back then, the DVD release isn't that old. Besides, we have even older stuff still on that chart, like those two Rescue Bots episodes that aired over a year ago. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 17:52, 14 December 2013 (EST)
::Okay.

== Milestone page linking ==

What does everyone think about changing the Main Page disambiguation notice so that the actual number of articles links to [[Transformers Wiki:Milestones]] while the word "pages" links to the Statistics page? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 09:39, 1 August 2014 (EDT)

==Transformers Expo==
Just want to ask whether events such as the aforementioned Expo, BotCon or TFCon should be listed on the main page. [[User:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|Optimus Prime (Convoy)]] ([[User talk:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|talk]]) 09:58, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
:TFCon isn't official, so that's out. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 11:35, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
::BotCon is ''always'' listed on the main page. Whether it's worth listing events for Asia which the majority of our readership wouldn't be able to get to, I'm not sure. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 17:12, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
:::I don't see BotCon, could you guys tell me where it is? Anyway, the Expos are pretty big in Asia, we've got some commercials on TV and adverts on public transports. Besides, I've been to the Transformers 30th Anniversary Exhibition in Korea, so I have a lot of information on that and I'm going to the one in Singapore soon, so...[[User:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|Optimus Prime (Convoy)]] ([[User talk:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|talk]]) 21:27, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
::::BotCon is usually listed in the schedule, though no one's added BotCon 2015 yet. Info on the Asia conventions would be fantastic! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 21:53, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
:::::I'll do my best. Anyway, I've found four Expos in Asia, including ones from, South Korea, Malaysia, Macau and Singapore. They all share similar names (Transformers: 30th Anniversary Exhibition, Transformers Expo, Transformers 30th Anniversary Expo for the last two. They seem to be the same in a traveling exhibition, but I can't find any concrete evidence...(The one from Korea seems especially independent) Also, where should I put the events on the main page?[[User:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|Optimus Prime (Convoy)]] ([[User talk:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|talk]]) 22:04, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
::::::Events should only have a page if they're specifically organized by Hasbro and/or Takara, though we have an [[unofficial conventions]] page for conventions which aren't. I strongly suspect you're right about that being a traveling expo, and that it started with [[Transformers China Exhibition]]. If there's no way to prove it, I guess we need to make separate pages for them though, perhaps with notes linking them. If any of the (official) expos are currently running, we could stick them at the bottom of [[Main Page/featured-series]]. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 22:36, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
:::::::Could anyone give me a hand here? I don't quite know how to edit the table... Sorry for the inconvenience.[[User:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|Optimus Prime (Convoy)]] ([[User talk:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|talk]]) 11:21, 1 November 2014 (EDT)

== Transformers Universe ==

I think we can take this off the Schedule.

== Comic Schedule ==

Transformers Vol. 2 Issue is set to release on 25 Feburary according to itunes,Should i change it or not?
[[User:Hyruk|Hyruk]] ([[User talk:Hyruk|talk]]) 10:49, 21 February 2015 (EST)
:It's not on Diamond's shipping lists, so it won't be in stores next week. If iTunes actually release it, that'll be another matter. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 14:29, 21 February 2015 (EST)

== ID these toys please? ==

I have a couple of combiners that I'm trying to ID. They are mini cons of I'm guessing Bruticus. One is a light green half track that turns into a foot, the other is a grey and black twin barreled tank with a black rake on the back that turns into the arm. Both are about two inches long. Any help would be appreaciated.
