Fucking up the characters categories

Cut it out! --ItsWalky 19:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Megatron (BW)

Hey, Interrobang, you've written the entire Beast Wars fiction section in present tense. It should be in past tense. Couldja please fix it? --ItsWalky 04:04, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if I wasn't aware of this, but has there been a discussion about making a "series Character" category and putting all the characters into it? Also, the Classics category does not belong in the Generation 1 category. The Classics Mini-cons aren't from G1, nor is Leo Prime. --FortMax 17:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Every new iteration of G1 has added unique characters. In DreamwaveG1, we got The Fallen, Gravitas and the other ancients, Backbite and his assassin team, etc. The IDW comics have given us a bunch of new humans and even a named spaceship. Classics is likewise a G1 continuity because of its core cast and overall theme. - Jackpot

I think I read in some report out of BotCon that the Classics Mini-Cons are going to be considered part of a G1 universe. Can anyone confirm that? --KilMichaelMcC 17:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I can. Forrest Lee stated the Classics Mini-Cons ARE, fictionally, part of the Classics "neo-G1" universe. Which I wholeheartedly approve of. --M Sipher 19:15, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

My first reaction was, "WHAT fiction?" But then it occurred to me that the Classics line has already seeped into the IDW-G1 universe via Jetfire. How much crossover can happen before we consider them one and the same (well, as one-and-the-same as, say, DW-Energon and the Energon toys)?

Doubt that'll happen. At the fan club magazine panel, Forest Lee said that next year's fan club newsletter comic storyline was probably going to use the Classics in a post-Marvel Comics universe. --ItsWalky 19:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Serious? Oh, rock on. - Jackpot 20:10, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I wonder how that'll square with their apparent plan to keep annually releasing the clear Energon combiner figures. Maybe those characters will jump out of the UT dimension and into the Marvel comic universe? - Jackpot 21:57, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

They will. Skyfall and Landquake will be taking center stage, and presumably combiner #3 will have ended up in G1-land, #4 in post-movie-land, etc. Also, Unicron is now a focal point of the comic too, so there you go. --M Sipher 22:15, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

RE: Packrat, Fractyl, etc.: At what point does "speculation" become unsuitable for this Wiki when we're dealing with a storyline that can't be explained without severe untangling and hole-filling? Is it a matter of phrasing or italicizing? The bits you deleted weren't random, Neale-style "apocrypha." Those characters are on the outskirts of a major time-travel storyline that ends with an entire timeline being negated, canonically. And there are good reasons to think that their BW adventures went "poof" along with the rest. (See Derik and my discussion on Vice Grip.) No, it's not a NECESSARY conclusion, nor did I suggest that it was. But it's a strong enough possibility that I think we do the Wiki a disservice if it's not mentioned. - Jackpot 08:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, but you could have said it in under 20 words. And your time-altering explanation doesnt' fit the sequence of events. And... this is really more appropriate as a general entry on the main 3h Fiction page, nothign that their 'extra characters' fit badly aroudn the edges of the universe. -Derik 08:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The french version of firefox is not that helpfull on that matter. Sorry, I'll try to be more carefuul.

Sorry, I think I accidentally picked that up from whoever's line I edited on the Floro page. I'll go catch them all.--MCRG 04:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:Bulkhead edit

"J'wan"? --Sntint 07:10, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

"Reverted on general principle"

The guy's being obnoxious, but his edit has merit. I think he's just a little too young. I undid your edit in the process of trying to clean up the matter. --Sntint 07:49, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Keywords

Please don't orphan pages by deleting sections you find aesthetically displeasing.

If you want to remove those sections then, at minimum, it falls to you to to link those orphaned articles up. -Derik 18:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Personal attacks in edit summaries

"Are you sure you don't have Asperger's?"

That was REALLY uncalled-for. --TVsGrady 23:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Comic article titles

I wish you would wait on moving a bunch of comic issue articles until we come to a desicion about what scheme to go with site-wide. It's being slowly discussed on the community portal. I agree that we should be consistent, but I do not like the parantheses scheme you are moving things to. --Steve-o 19:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Beast Wars timeline

Hello, I've start a article here by using some temporary file I write before, maybe you can help with that! ;D --TX55 04:47, 05 November 2007 (UTC)

Graphy

Why would you capitalize the name of a dinosaur type? We don't capitalize the names of other animals in mid-sentence. (Okay, except weird ones that involve people's names, like a Thompson's gazelle, but still...)--Apcog 23:24, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Popular alt-modes

Yeah, I honestly made that edit (Overkill) expecting it would get reverted. For some reason I considered that the best method by which to point out what seemed to be the confusion. The anon seemed unaware of the Classics version from the customizing class, so his stance seemed to be based solely around the tape body. So I thought I'd point out the confusion.

Maybe we *should*specify bodies on the list, though, given this confusion? It may or may not be practical, and it also may or may not even be warranted. This is only the first time there's been a mistake, to my knowledge, so I'm not really going to push the issue hard. --Sntint 18:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I dunno. We could do that if it came down to it, but so far, it's just one anon. If it's a recurring problem with other people, that's an option. Interrobang 18:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Quotes

Uh, not to make all your work seem useless, but wouldn't it just be easier to have the quotation marks appear within the template and get it down with all at once rather than do it one article at a time? -- SFH 00:42, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I think I've noted him inserting italics formatting here and there, so the quotes aren't 100% universal to the needs of the template.--Apcog 01:13, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Category changes

Hey, Interrobang -- I wish you wouldn't make such sweeping category changes without posting a notice to the relevant talk page first, just to double-check things. For example, the discussion in "Category talk:Siblings" sort of went in a "let's have a general category for all relatives" direction without quite reaching consensus. Now that the siblings category is empty, it will be a lot more work to fill up a "has relatives" category if/when we make one, because we'll have to "rediscover" all the sibling articles. --Steve-o 21:59, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, the discussion had been lingering around for 19 months. I assumed nobody particularly cared about the thing anymore. If you need the sibling articles, you can just look in my "User contributions". My editing sprees are mostly unbroken. —‽ 00:44, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it had stagnated for a very long time. However, even a brief glance at that discussion shows that support was not there for a straight-up "delete". --Steve-o 05:49, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

your fucked up signature

Could you change your signature so it actually includes your user name? I like being able to see who made a comment without having to see the destination of the link.

Either way, I shall now call you "The Editor Formerly Known As Interrobang" --FortMax 00:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem! —"‽" is an Interrobang 01:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

way to not know an interrobang when you see one. -hx 12:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

The Japanese must never learn of this. - Chris McFeely 17:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

It does have the feeling of something the Japanese would latch on to without realizing it's barely known in English, doesn't it? (Though strange Hydra kept removing interrobangs when I put them in his article titles...) -Derik 22:12, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I like "‽," it's all clever 'n stuff. Does it work on macs? A lot of extended character-set stuff doesn't. (You could use for a mouseover- but I suspect some users just want it to be readable.) -Derik 22:12, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

It does work on a Mac but that does not take away from the total uselessness of the name... it didn't work for Prince and it doesn't work here either Gspro15198 23:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Boxart scans/DVD covers

Perhaps you should have read the Rewind/Eject discussion before taking a shot a me. The discussion I had with Walky was about poor quality scans that were jagged and badly cut out, and eventually steve-o agreed. As for the DVD covers I plan on uploading images of every DVD release of Transformers from the various distributors over time. Also, I left Amazon's white space intact because wide images are easier to format the page to than tall images. Tall images, without enough text, either cuts into other sections or create massive whitespace. I have uploaded alot of images, so I know from experience how they affect formatting, you know. --FFN 08:23, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Brawn lives

Interro, you deleted legitimate content from the Brawn article without an edit summary and marked the edit as minor.[1] Please be more careful. --Steve-o 05:49, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I'm putting the slumber party stuff back in that you took out. It's childish and emasculating, but it's canon.--Suzyprime 23:45, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Just what are you talking about? —Interrobang 23:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

No big deal. Just an edit. If it wasn't you, I apologize. Again, no big deal.--Suzyprime 23:53, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

J-category work

I see you're doing a lot of category work, including some Japanese guys. I was going to send my bot to change all the Japan-only's to Japanese-origin's. Will that interfere with your subgroup stuff? --Steve-o 02:26, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Comic issue re-arrangement

When did we decide to change the comic book article format to be the same as the cartoon episode formats? --FFN 00:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion

That's not going to make him go away and you fucking know it. --M Sipher 00:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Have to agree. He's having us delete the evidence he was here because he wants to try to sneak back in. He's not doing it very smartly, but he's made plain what his intentions are.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 00:43, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Generation One/1

"One" has been used by Hasbro in tons of G1 product - Reissues and Heroes of Cybertron most prominently. It appears to be Hasbro's preferred way of spelling it out. --Spectre 00:55, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

JBW Power Surge

空中山脈大爆破 literally translates as "air mountain range big explosion," but for flow, I'd translate it as "The Sky-Mountains Explode".--Apcog 06:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Italicized punctuation

I don't know why that cheeses you off so much, but there's actually a discussion going on about it over in Help talk:Style guide. I think JW's option #1 looks a lot better, but I hadn't weighed in because I didn't think it was important enough to define for the Wiki. I guess if people really care about it, then we should. - Jackpot 21:40, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Stubs

If you're going to make incomplete pages, please mark them as stubs so they show up in the list. --M Sipher 22:46, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

ROC

...did we decide to move ROC things from (G1) to (ROC) between when I got to bed in the morning and when I got up? When did we decide to do it this way? We had a discussion about this long ago. I didn't think it had been decided amongst us to be repealed, but I guess I could have missed the two-hour window in which it was discussed and revoked. --ItsWalky 16:14, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Er? I didn't move anything from "(G1)" to "(ROC)". What I did move was "(Battlestars)" (which Sipher did) to "(ROC)" and various "(Autobot)"s or "(Decepticon)"s to "(G1)" because they're the only characters with that name in the G1 line. —Interrobang 16:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Isn't Return of Convoy still part of G1? --KilMichaelMcC 16:25, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm talking in terms of toylines. Return of Convoy is as much the same toyline as G1 as G2 is. Or Energon to Armada. —Interrobang 16:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

As far as I've heard, all G1 means is "everything before G2." --KilMichaelMcC 16:34, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Then what do we call the original toyline and cartoon series? Because they aren't the same thing as the Japanese sequel series. —Interrobang 16:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I see your point now. Still, having, for example, Bombshock (G1) and Bombshock (ROC) doesn't seem quite right to me, as they're both considered to be G1 characters. I'm not sure what was wrong with using (Autobot) and (Decepticon). --KilMichaelMcC 17:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

The ROC guy is a G1 character in the loose sense that he's in the same continuity family. I don't see what the big issue is, as we have both the disambig template and the continuity note to clarify matters for the reader. —Interrobang 18:06, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

"Revert out-universeness"

Why did you revert my change to Decepticon Super Scramble? Do you think that this article should omit where this character comes from? What does "out-universeness" mean? (I'm a little new here; I'd appreciate you filling me in.)--GrantB 18:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, FortMax let me know. Why isn't this term in any of the help pages? (or did I miss it?)--GrantB 03:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Formatted Japanese Text

I won't argue with your de-italicizing of the Japanese text on Shūta Gō's page, as readability is always good. Just FYI, the italicized Japanese looked just fine on my screen. It's probably a function of whatever Japanese fonts are available through one's interface.--Apcog 08:35, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

AllSpark

It originally went just to the "movie thing"
Wait... the "movie thing"'s two words, and I just went through and removed all one-word links to the "movie thing" anyway.
You're petitioning to have "All Spark (Movie)" moved back to "All Spark", and the dimension's at Allspark (one word, no cap "S"). Since that leaves the "Animated thing" as the only "AllSpark" (one word, cap "S"), shouldn't that get the redirect all to itself? - SanityOrMadness 13:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

No, because "AllSpark" has been used to refer to the All Spark. —Interrobang 15:52, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Universe

Hey, in the future, can you please name the toy section heading 'Universe (2008)' even if the character never had a toy in the 2003 Universe line? Thanks --FFN 21:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

On what planet does Interrobang deserve this notice?--Rosicrucian ^Talk 17:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, in the past DAY (all of these are consecutive edits - i.e., no-one else edits in-between):

Dirge (G1)‎ - three edits in three minutes (including two edits in a minute)
Acid Storm - three edits in four minutes
Rainmaker - three edits in four minutes
Autotransforming‎ - four edits in three minutes (including two edits in a minute)
Soundwave (Animated) - two edits in a minute
Jazz (Animated)‎ - three edits in two minutes
Ironhide (Animated)‎ - two edits in a minute
News Bot - two edits in three minutes
Transformers Animated (cartoon) - three edits in three minutes (including two edits in a minute)

I think that adds up to "this planet" - SanityOrMadness 18:16, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

We usually reserve this template for problem users who make edits along the line of ten revisions to add a sentence. Not two edits within a minute. You're kinda presuming things putting a warning template on a guy who does a lot of good maintenance work on this wiki.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 20:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I had it bunged on my talk page after a 2×2 edit on Prime (rank) (meaning I edited two sections, with two edits for each section, over a total of seven minutes, with one tagged as minor). I was taking my lead from that - I've certainly never done anything near "ten revisions to add a sentence" - SanityOrMadness 20:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

EVERYBODY goofs up sometimes, you, me, them, everybody! We're all only human. As Rosi said, the PB tag is just for new folks who clearly don't realize what the Preview button is for or that they're causing problems by not using it. -- Repowers 21:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

In that case, I get it. As I said, I was going by the... rapidity... by which it was used on my user talk, and it seems like *checks*JW "goofed" there. - SanityOrMadness 21:19, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't have given that to you, either. I don't have a problem with a few edits to spruce up the content in ways you didn't notice before. That's what I do. Like Rosicrucian said, it's mostly for anonymous editors (usually with terrible English) who need a ridiculous amount of edits to add something that gets removed, anyway. —Interrobang 21:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I have a solution for you. —Interrobang 20:16, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

"Garbage In, Garbage Out"—Ellipses

Just FYI, the typography I learned for ellipses is that they do not take a space before or after when placed in mid-sentence to represent a pause in speech. Is there a style guide that indicates otherwise?--Apcog 03:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Shamefully, I can't really find anything about this case. My best guess is that this is just an informal rule I picked up in school and either form is fine. Regardless, I won't bother with the space anymore until I find something concrete on this. —Interrobang 03:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan. Wish all discussions here were as amicable and readily settled.--Apcog 03:44, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Spoiler warning

I get that the info I added may have annoyed editors, but the warning seems to claim that I did so without a spoiler warning, which I did, and the info is both officially released by Hasbro, and verifiable (I did not add anything of text, only images, which are easy enough to verify without understanding the language). I understand the wanting to wait until North America airs it, which is why I only added on the talk page, but I don't think I actually violated the reasoning the Spoiler policy page gives for that stipulation. So basically, I'm not sure I understand why I was jumped on and given warnings.KrytenKoro 22:09, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Shattered Glass redirects

This is where a discussion was held on the whole Shattered Glass/Timelines thing was held. Granted, somebody seriously jumped the gun, but there was some discussion. Would that be better suited for the community portal? -- SFH 18:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Import screw-up FYI.

The screwed up files that are TOTALLY nonsensical like "Qqgjipp1fp70z9aeh36gevvhuvuc1mm.jpg‎" are being flagged for deletion by Deceptitran. The ones I see you flagging- with partially-nonsense-partially-english names are not.

If you have a list of fucky filenames, I can add them to Deceptitra's queue. (It doesn't even have to be a clean list, i copy-and pasted out of the log to get mine and just used a regular expression to grab out the names.) -Derik 03:25, 20 March 2009 (EDT)

It should be easy to sort out the fucked names; they all start with either "2008" or "2007". Maybe "2006". They're all holdovers from the uploading after the move from Wikia. A lot of those were deleted, but some still remained. I'm not sure how to go around making a list, since it'd be massive and made up of thousands of entries, since those images are so dispersed. —Interrobang 03:37, 20 March 2009 (EDT)

Basically, they're all Old Versions. When you upload an image on top of an old one, the old file gets renamed to YearMonthDayHourMinuteSecond!(oldname) on the server (I forget if it's the time it was uploaded, or the time you upload the replacement, but I suspect the former). The script that uploaded them couldn't distinguish between the old versions and the current ones, and so uploaded the old ones as if they WERE current versions. - SanityOrMadness 20:02, 25 March 2009 (EDT)

Do they all have an exclamation point in the middle of their name? I see about 200 for 2007, and 360 for 2006. None for 2008 though, which makes me think that my 2007 list is incomplete (or there'd be more on it.) I'll flag the ones I can find. -Derik 04:01, 20 March 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, they all have exclamation points after the string of numbers. There should be some 2008s, they're the ones I saw most often. —Interrobang 04:15, 20 March 2009 (EDT)

Thanks for the heads-up man, in addition to the 700 or so I flagged last night, there's more than 8000 I flagged today. (I found a better search method.) Never would've found 'em if I didn't know what to look for. -Derik 23:58, 20 March 2009 (EDT)

Eight thousand? I feel sorry for the administrator who wants to clean up the backlog... —Interrobang 00:01, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

Typo-- 800. -Derik 20:14, 25 March 2009 (EDT)

...and decreasing.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 20:15, 25 March 2009 (EDT)

Gone now.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 21:31, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

Or... not. See Special:Uncategorizedimages, where there's at least a couple of hundred of them left. - SanityOrMadness 21:45, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

Those are a bit harder to do in one big swoop. I was sticking to cleaning out the speedy deletion queue, as there's nothing lost if I just delete the whole dang category's contents. That category you've pointed out is a mixed bag, as it has more than a few legitimate images in it. Likely good to hold off on those until Derik has sicced the bot on 'em, unless you feel like tagging them by hand. As it is I ended up deleting around 800 of 'em from the speedy cat, so I'm kind of pooped. Even categorized it's still pretty much hand-done, just mindlessly so with sixteen tabs open at a time.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 22:00, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

Should also be noted that the ones that you're spotting that are ***px-filename.ext are thumbnails generated by the wiki software, and then snagged by our mass import. Those should be fairly easy fodder for Deceptitran tagging them.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 22:30, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

I know what they are. Hell, I tagged them all as speedies once already

As for Deceptitran, I don't think it's looking - and there aren'T that many of them, certainly not even a fraction of thee number of YearMonthDayHourMinSec!filename.ext stuff, so I doubt it's worth Derik's time to code a filter. - SanityOrMadness 22:51, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

Cracking work!

The G1 episode pages are looking awesome! --abates 19:46, 25 March 2009 (EDT)

Sure! It's slightly less work than G1, since I don't have to do the Japanese name stuff. —Interrobang 04:31, 27 March 2009 (EDT)

Removal of "|series2=" in RiD episodes

Which is my question, that is. Considering A/E/C has their respective ML/SL/GF "|series2=" in their episode templates, so why remove Car Robots from RiD? :? --Lonegamer78 07:40, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Uh, why do they? They should only be used when the numbering or episode order is different. Otherwise is just redundant. —Interrobang 13:30, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

If only for posterity's sake. ;D Then again, I'm kinda stubborn on details like that. =P --Lonegamer78 16:42, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Little harsh?

Cool down, dude. --ItsWalky 21:21, 25 April 2009 (EDT)

My shift key sticks, and my attention was focused on the television while typing that edit summary, so I didn't notice the CAPSLOCK till it was too late and it comes across as more harsh than intended. I apologize. —Interrobang 21:37, 25 April 2009 (EDT)

Witwicky

Sorry for the inconvenience. I thought "Witwicky" could use a little disambig-uation. - Starfield 23:28, 26 April 2009 (EDT)

The problem with that (and frankly, 99% of the disambiguation templates we maintain) is that nobody will go to those pages looking for "Witwicky". Because if they were looking for it, they'd be typing "Witwicky" in the search box in the first place. —Interrobang 23:31, 26 April 2009 (EDT)

All their pages should probably link to Witwicky somewhere. I don't have a better idea where. The page is, more a less, a big disambiguation page. - Starfield 23:38, 26 April 2009 (EDT)

Three options I can think of: 1) make a link out of the last part of their names; 2) say they're "part of the Witwicky family"; 3) make a "see also" section. —Interrobang 23:41, 26 April 2009 (EDT)

1) sounds the best even if it would look a little ugly to have half their name linked. I would put it in the italicized continuity note rather than their bolded first instance of their name. - Starfield 09:13, 27 April 2009 (EDT)

That actually works out pretty nicely. —Interrobang 11:00, 27 April 2009 (EDT)

Featured article template

What is up with moving featured article tempates onto talk pages? They really don't belong there. --KilMichaelMcC 23:03, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

May I suggest rather than arbitrarily stripping the template from all articles and adding it to their talkpages, you have a gander at this discussion?--Rosicrucian ^Talk 23:03, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

Matrix Quest, etc

I don't think this or the other original movie issues should be an IDW Generation 1 issue. That's sorta reserved for the ones withing their unique continuity. --MistaTee 23:55, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

Armada (Panini comics) category

Hey, I noted you changed the category on Armada (Panini comics) from [[Category:Armada]] to [[Category:Armada| Armada (Panini comic)]]. Since I've never seen that before, I'm just curious as to where in the wiki that information is used, and what benefit it has?

Using a space as the first character puts the article into the front of the category. —Interrobang 09:31, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

BotCon 2009 is not a toyline

All of BotCon 2009's bagged toys say "BotCon 2009" on them. They also all come with Timelines-branded instructions, including Heatwave! This is an odd categorization practice for us to be arbitrarily changing on a whim, and inconsistently, at that. --ItsWalky 17:16, 7 June 2009 (EDT)
