Editing User talk:Boingus

{{welcome}}
However,when adding new information, please ensure that it is:
*official - the Nitro toy has only been revealed through unofficial leaks, so it cannot be covered by the wiki yet. See [[Help:Official info]] for more details.
*accurate - multiple people have confirmed at this point that the Optimus Prime stock photos seen in Argos catalogues are being mistakenly used to represent the regular new-mould TLK Voyager Optimus. The DOTM redeco's ''actual'' avenue of release is currently unknown.
Thank you! [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 18:10, 26 May 2017 (EDT)

==Please note...==
1. It's against TFWiki rules to blank your user talk page.

2. Please don't create single-sentence articles. No article is better than a zero-effort one.

Thank you. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 18:39, 3 July 2017 (EDT)


:Hey man! Back to subject, sorry I didn't follow the rules. The Transformers Tribute page was saved before I finished editing all of it, so that is why you saw only one sentence. I put up the page back, complete with more than one sentence, and the actual toys listed on it. Check it out. Also, I see people signing their posts where it can leave a link to their page and talk page? How do you do that? I can't find how on any of the help pages, and I even logged out and looked at a post I signed. Still didn't show a link... so how do you do that?Once again sorry I messed up, but hopefully it won't happen again. Thanks for reading. west james/notirishman 22:28, 3 July 2017 (EDT)

==Images==

Depending on what browser you're using, it can take a few minutes for your cache to catch up with the new image you uploaded. Or in other words, try closing and reopening your browser after uploading a new version of an image and it should be there. [[User:Grum|Grum]] ([[User talk:Grum|talk]]) 13:26, 2 October 2017 (EDT)
:Thanks, but I tried closing and reopening the browser, but it didn't work. -[[User:West james|west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:West james|talk]]) 13:47, 2 October 2017 (EDT)
::The sure-fire method is to do a "full" refresh of the page, by pressing Ctrl + F5. That ignores any cached version of the image and loads it fresh, and you should see the new version. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 14:02, 2 October 2017 (EDT)
:::Ahh, i see it now. Thanks. -[[User:West james|west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:West james|talk]]) 17:52, 2 October 2017 (EDT)

:I uploaded stock photos for MP-29+ Shockwave, but I totally forgot to put in a stock photo tag. Is it possible to edit that tag in after I uploaded the photo, or am I going to have to upload a new photo with the right tags or whatever? -[[User:TargetmasterJoe268 |TargetmasterJoe268]] ([[User talk:TargetmasterJoe268|talk]]) 16:40, 10 May 2018 (EDT)
::Actually no. Tags go into the description, not on the image itself. I have already tagged the image with a Masterpiece stock photo template. More information on these image templates can be found on the image guidelines page. [[User:Notirishman|--westjames/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 16:57, 10 May 2018 (EDT)

== Toy images ==

When adding them, please put them above the toy's name for better formatting. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 22:55, 17 February 2018 (EST)
:Okay, I will for now on. [[User:Notirishman|-west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]])

==AOE Grimlock==

Lol bro I have no idea either with that design, and I'm starting to think the designers had no idea either!
-{{unsigned|Cannonfodder4000}}
:I took a look at screencaps and, yeah, I could make out the other side of the jaw on each shoulder, so there is a head on each shoulder. It's kinda wonky. [[User:Notirishman|-west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 20:32, 23 February 2018 (EST)

==From kampungpisangadrian==

Actually I want to edit more,but I have limited time to do so sorry.

:No, its fine, just on your free time you might wanna quickly go through the guidelines just so you know what not to do. [[User:Notirishman|--westjames/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 10:57, 24 March 2018 (EDT)

== generations change ==

you: (→‎Alt-Modes, GDO/Cyber Series/Masterpiece, and Platinum Edition (2015–2018): They are part of the PWT because of similar packaging design)

What is PWT? --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] ([[User talk:MistaTee|talk]]) 22:57, 12 April 2018 (EDT)
:Sorry, I was being lazy; PWT stands for Prime Wars Trilogy. [[User:Notirishman|--westjames/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 07:18, 13 April 2018 (EDT)

::Well those lines are definitely not part of the PWT, which is large enough to deserve its own section IMO.  I would imagine that the WFC Trilogy would have its own section as well (in time).  I'm only looking to simplify the headers of the generations subsets.  Perhaps Generations is so big now that we need to structure the page differently? --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] ([[User talk:MistaTee|talk]]) 21:03, 13 April 2018 (EDT)

:::Well you might want to ask on the Generations talk page, as I agree, the Prime Wars Trilogy section holds way to many subsections that aren't technically part of Hasbro's definition of the PWT. [[User:Notirishman|--westjames/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 21:25, 13 April 2018 (EDT)

== Image sizes ==

Just a heads-up, we try to keep images under 150KB in size to conserve bandwidth except in special cases. All the screencaps you uploaded from the POTP trailer are over that size, some of them twice so. Once the episodes start airing, I'll replace the ones we've got with lower-resolution equivalents that also lack the watermark in the corner, but just try to keep that in mind next time you upload. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:57, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
:Oh sorry, I completely forgot about that. Thanks for the heads up. [[User:Notirishman|--westjames/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 16:59, 24 April 2018 (EDT)

== Caption bastard ==

"Caption bastards" are specifically for users who do nothing but add captions. People who contributed plenty are allowed to change existing captions. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 20:46, 4 May 2018 (EDT)
:I apologize for misusing the term, but users still aren't allowed to change captions (unless it's an overused joke or offensive/inappropriate) under the wiki's [[Transformers Wiki:Captions|guidelines for captions]]. [[User:Notirishman|--westjames/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 21:06, 4 May 2018 (EDT)
:: Well, no, it's "new users" that aren't supposed to change captions. I've been here five years now and [https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Grum I think I've put in enough work] to justify goofing around with the captions every so often. [[User:Grum|Grum]] ([[User talk:Grum|talk]]) 12:40, 5 May 2018 (EDT)
:::Ah, I see. Sorry for bugging you. [[User:Notirishman|--westjames/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 13:00, 5 May 2018 (EDT)

== Cylas here ==

Thank you for your comment on my talk page. It brought tears to my eyes and was exactly what I needed. God bless you! -[[User:Cylasbreakdown|Cylasbreakdown]] ([[User talk:Cylasbreakdown|talk]]) 23:48, 9 May 2018 (EDT)

Thank you for the welcome back. You are so very kind, and I almost weep when I read your comments. Glad to be back. [[User:Cylasbreakdown|Cylasbreakdown]] ([[User talk:Cylasbreakdown|talk]]) 15:46, 1 June 2018 (EDT)

==MPM4 Images==
Really sorry about the five images, I totally forgot about the format and size. I just couldn't help notice the ones on the page were mistransformed in both modes and did not represent the colors of the final product, which were much brighter. Should I properly tag the photos or do you want them deleted instead? They were the only stock photos I could find with Optimus properly transformed. [[User:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|Optimus Prime (Convoy)]] ([[User talk:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|talk]]) 15:22, 29 June 2018 (EDT)
:No, it's cool. If you want you could upload a new version of the old, mistransformed image with your better image. Thanks! [[User:Notirishman|notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 15:25, 29 June 2018 (EDT)
::I'll remove the other four and just leave one new combined stock photo for the page. However, I do want to keep the mistransformed one as well since the text makes reference to it. Is that okay? [[User:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|Optimus Prime (Convoy)]] ([[User talk:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|talk]]) 22:55, 29 June 2018 (EDT)
:::Yep! Thanks a lot! [[User:Notirishman|notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 00:05, 30 June 2018 (EDT)

== New Generations templates ==

I have to handle some IRL stuff soon. If you would like the honor of distributing the new, more specified ''Generations'' templates I have just created, be my guest. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 21:35, 15 July 2018 (EDT)
:Okay, sure. [[User:Notirishman|notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 22:53, 15 July 2018 (EDT)

== Moving/deleting pages ==

Do not "move" pages by copy and pasting them. You are supposed to use the move function located at the top of articles so that the history can be preserved. Now an admin has fix it. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 08:23, 30 July 2018 (EDT)
:I apologize for the inconvenience, but I thought you couldn't move pages to articles that already exist (i.e. Trax (AOE) to KSI Sentry, both pages existed pre-move). And why do you need an admin's help? Can't you just undo my edits and do the move yourself? [[User:Notirishman|notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 11:11, 30 July 2018 (EDT)
::KSI Sentry existed only as a redirect. You can move pages to titles that exist only as redirects and it will overwrite the redirect. If your edits are simply undone, then the previous Trax (AOE) page cannot be moved over the previous KSI Sentry page as that page now has a history as a non-redirect. The programming will not overwrite it as it would seem to be "losing" history. An admin is necessary to remove the actual page that you posted at KSI Sentry from the history so that the data can be moved there along with the page history from Trax (AOE). Retention of page history is EXTREMELY important. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 12:57, 30 July 2018 (EDT)
:::Okay, I'm very sorry. My thought process was that history would still be kept just in a different place, but I understand now that keeping history on its page is very important. [[User:Notirishman|notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 13:12, 30 July 2018 (EDT)

The page currently titled "Jetfire (Movie)" is ready for deletion. All the necessary information from that page has been moved to the one titled "Jetfire (ROTF)". I am asking for help with deleting "Jetfire (Movie)" so "Jetfire (ROTF)" can be renamed as such. I already tried asking [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]], yet you've recently told me he ''wasn't'' administration. --[[User:NexusShard17|NexusShard17]] ([[User talk:NexusShard17|talk]]) 21:08, 26 September 2018 (EDT)
: [[Special:ListUsers/sysop]] [[User:Grum|Grum]] ([[User talk:Grum|talk]]) 21:12, 26 September 2018 (EDT)
::Yeah, there's only like, what, five active admins? [[User:Notirishman|--notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 23:01, 26 September 2018 (EDT)

== Studio Series dinocassettes ==

Did you not read LV's earlier edit? The dinocassette packs have the ''Bumblebee'' branding in their instructions. How does that not decisively classify them as ''Bumblebee'' characters in wiki categorization? [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 01:15, 19 September 2018 (EDT)
:Yeah, I didn't even see the earlier edit. But I understand that now, sorry. I already changed the category to Bumblebee Autobots and Decepticons on the Vol. 2 Casettes page already. [[User:Notirishman|--notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 08:30, 19 September 2018 (EDT)

== Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack ==

I know a gazillion online retailers are listing it under the name "Rebekah's Garage". However, Toys"R"Us Canada's store price tag calls it "Street Racer Set". And yet, neither name is on the packaging. You know what ''is'' on the packaging? [http://news.tfw2005.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Studio-Series-15-Bumblebee-And-Charlie-03.jpeg "Highway Freedom"].--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] ([[User talk:Nevermore|talk]]) 06:44, 14 October 2018 (EDT)
:Highway Freedom looks like it's just the name of the backdrop. In other Studio Series boxes, the font and location of the "Highway Freedom" is the same as where the name of the backdrop would be. Could we compromise with listing it as the only name on the actual product,"Bumblebee". [[User:Notirishman|--notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 10:13, 14 October 2018 (EDT)
