Hi, NexusPrime! Welcome aboard!

Welcome to TFWiki.net, one of the foremost resources on all things Transformers! If you're new, we recommend you read through our help documentation before you start editing. Here's some links to specific areas of interest:

This will help you understand how TFWiki.net works, and help ease you into our odd little place. Once you feel you're accustomed, feel free to remove this message!


But please remember to tag your image uploads. Thanks! Grum (talk) 21:10, 18 June 2015 (EDT)

If you haven't yet contributed anything, we'd really rather you didn't simply change jokes or add new ones without adding actual content. This also holds true for removing captions whole-hog or replacing them with "information" that really isn't.
Remember, we're meant to be informative first, funny second. Write an episode summary, check out the Most Wanted Pages list or the Stubs list.

Hey, when uploading images, please give them a description. When people click on them, they'll want to know which episode the image is from and so on. --abates (talk) 16:16, 18 April 2016 (EDT)

A reminder again to attach descriptions to images. But good work on the uploads. Could you possibly upload improved versions of screencaps from "Mighty Big Trouble" like this one? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 01:13, 9 November 2016 (EST)

One last time, as you have been told several times now, please tag your image uploads. Used the {{RID2015cap}} template to attach the proper copyright information to them and ensure they are placed in the proper categories. - Chris McFeely (talk) 17:48, 7 May 2017 (EDT)

Additionally, please don't create empty skeleton characters articles. At absolute minimum, you should be writing the continuity note and some kind of intro paragraph, even if brief. Jalaguy (talk) 18:08, 7 May 2017 (EDT)
Images are absolutely appreciated, but we'd rather have them correctly, and you're just creating work for other editors by doing it this way. If you continue to ignore your talk page, you're going to have to get a temporary suspension from editing. - Chris McFeely (talk) 18:11, 7 May 2017 (EDT)

Screencaps

[edit]

Please use better quality sources than what you're using, because I can barely make out what you're uploading. Saix (talk) 15:16, 17 June 2017 (EDT)

If I may chip in...they're screengrab placeholders from today's episode. A better source isn't available yet, but (based on past experience) once a higher quality screengrab source is available the grainy images get uploaded over with "of best quality". - TBR (talk) 15:23, 17 June 2017 (EDT)

TBR's right. These photos are placeholders. I'll upload the higher quality versions tomorrow. NexusPrime (talk) 15:36, 17 June 2017 (EDT)

One could ask why there is a need to upload inferior quality placeholders at all if they're just gonna get replaced by superior quality uploads the very next day? There's no immediacy in the need to have screencaps on this Wiki. Patience is exercised here all the time. --Sabrblade (talk) 15:55, 17 June 2017 (EDT)
It takes time to find the right screencaps for an episode. I simply place lower quality pics to help me remember which higher quality ones to put. I find it helpful, something not immediate, like with an essay. You don't start out with x amount of pages filled with incomprehensible words, you start with one to four paragraphs, save it for the day, and come back to it tomorrow to see if it needs refreshing and modification. NexusPrime (talk) 16:01, 17 June 2017 (EDT)
None of this necessitates actually uploading inferior quality images here, though? We don't do "placeholders" because we consider nothing better than crappy prose or images and would prefer people take their time to maintain quality. Saix (talk) 16:58, 18 June 2017 (EDT)
The low-res images aren't hurting anyone and they're not there permanently. It's like Sabrblade said: "patience is exercised here", so it should apply for people to wait for low-res images to be replaced with high-res, as well.
That's not how it works. People come and leave. We can't tolerate poor quality on the expectation you'll still be around to replace it and you can wait a day to upload screencaps to our level of quality. You don't win anything for uploading images ASAP. Saix (talk) 18:45, 18 June 2017 (EDT)


Captions

[edit]

Do NOT re-add those gigantic captions to the "Prepare for Departure" page again. --M Sipher (talk) 14:45, 25 September 2017 (EDT)
