==Caption==
== Scale Chart Page Error ==
Hi there I just wanted to see if would be ok to change a caption on the Brawl page?[[User:Sharpshot45|Sharpshot45]] ([[User talk:Sharpshot45|talk]]) 19:51, 7 November 2017 (EST)
:Without knowing which caption you want to change and what you want to change it to, that's a difficult question to answer. Generally we frown on changing captions unless they're bad or objectionable in some way. [[Transformers Wiki:Captions]] has more on our captions policy. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 20:18, 7 November 2017 (EST)

==Pages to delete for moves==
I added a new official chart to the scale chart page: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:TFAOE_GroupScaleChart.jpeg, https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scale_charts, and followed the formatting precedents that were available, but for some reason editing the page caused the title of the ROTB charts section to become unbolded and unaligned. Do you know how to fix it, because I can’t seem to figure it out.
Since, obviously, it's hard to pick those out from all of my automated edits, the following pages need to be deleted so that articles can be moved: [[BuggyMan]], [[Big Convoy]], [[Legion]]. I'll let you know if there's any other ones. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 07:46, 12 March 2016 (EST)

If you get the time, could you delete the following: [[Airachnid]], [[Dalton]], [[Kicker]], [[Headlock]]? All of the [[Hot Rod (G1)]] redirects probably need to be deleted too, since we have TLK Hot Rod now. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 06:26, 3 January 2017 (EST)

Hey, I noticed the TF Prime toyline page is currently using a Decepticon insignia instead of the Star Seeker one for Thundertron's toy and I also discovered that we didn't have a Star Seeker bulletpoint either., so I decided to give it a go making the bulletpoint myself, but I think I may have missed something somewhere in the coding as the image won't display on the [[Template:Bp-a1/doc]] page.
:Done! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 03:50, 23 February 2017 (EST)

== Image upload preview ==
Would you possibly be able to give me a hand?


Hey abates, are you aware of how the summary box Preview button when uploading an image works? Looking to get it on the IDW Hasbro Wiki, but I can't find anything relating to it in either of the TFWiki CSS files, and have no idea how else it could be triggered. Thanks. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 07:10, 3 January 2017 (EST)
To make it easier to find, here is the template I made and the file I uploaded:
:It's in [[MediaWiki:Common.js]], should be easy to spot! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 15:07, 3 January 2017 (EST)
*[[Template:Bp-ss]]
::Ah, excellent, forgot that was a thing! Thanks! [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 18:05, 3 January 2017 (EST)
*[[:File:StarSeekerbp.png]]
:::I keep meaning to get around to changing it to filter out the error message that comes back with the preview, but if you want to have a try, feel free! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 21:37, 3 January 2017 (EST)
::::Oh, pfft, I'm not sure my meager JS knowledge would stretch to that... On a related note, though, I've yet to actually get this working on the IDW wiki. Don't think it's cache related since it's been a couple of days now. D'you know if there are any other chunks of code the preview function needs to work, or is it more likely to be some random incompatibility with ShoutWiki's MediaWiki installation? [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 11:57, 5 January 2017 (EST)
:::::ShoutWiki is using Mediawiki 1.28 versus our 1.19, so I think it's likely to be something's changed between versions that broke the Javascript. I tried Googling to see if there was an update to the preview code (not sure where Derik got it from), but it looks like [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Live_preview preview is now built in] possibly. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 14:34, 5 January 2017 (EST)


===And another thing...===
Thanks. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 06:48, 4 July 2021 (EDT)
Sorry for more queries, but d'you know if there's a potential tweak to [[gbwiki:Template:Nav|Template:Nav]] on GBWiki that would put the logo above the text box, on the right, instead over in the middle? I've figured the right alignment but don't know enough markup to get it up above the box... Thanks. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 14:37, 9 January 2017 (EST)
:It needs a line added into the site's stylesheets. I can do that now, no problem. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 06:59, 4 July 2021 (EDT)
:The whole thing's already in a table, so you should be able to just change style="width: 100%;" at the top to style="float: right" and add a |- to start a new row right after the imagemap. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 15:22, 9 January 2017 (EST)

== Fistfight (SG) ==
== Name Change ==


Thanks for [[User_talk:Rhymus#Fistfight|letting me know]] why you reverted my [[Fistfight (SG)]] edit.  [[Transhuman]] explicitly states his colors, and since ''This character has no official visual representation whatsoever... yet, at least''... i thought the article should mention his deco.  And, since so many SG characters take their color schemes from their G1 namesakes' rivals, Tyrannitron (partnered with one of the Dinobots, known for squaring off against Shockwave) seemed like a good guess at [[authorial intent]]--but it ''is'' just a guess.  ([[Catgut]] is orange and black, too.)  Hopefully this is cleared up in a more concise, humorous fashion in my new edit.
I am currently User:Cosmos1 but would like to have the user name Waverod, as discussed in the Discord server. [[User:Cosmos1|Waverod ✈️]] ([[User talk:Cosmos1|talk]]) 06:16, 19 September 2021 (EDT)
--[[User:Rhymus|Rhymus]] ([[User talk:Rhymus|talk]]) 21:02, 22 January 2017 (EST)
:Wait, when did Tyrannitron square off against Shockwave? His only fiction seems to be [[Games of Deception]], and the summary for that seems to suggest Shockwave was reduced to a head at the time. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 06:09, 23 January 2017 (EST)
::Sorry.  What I meant was, the G1 Dinobots are known for squaring off against G1 Shockwave, G1 Tyrannitron is a G1 Dinobot's partner and G1 Fistfight is G1 Shockwave's partner, so it makes sense to me that G1 Tyrannitron likely inspired SG Fistfight's deco. --[[User:Rhymus|Rhymus]] ([[User talk:Rhymus|talk]]) 00:31, 20 February 2017 (EST)
:::That sounds like a bit of a leap to me! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 03:32, 20 February 2017 (EST)

:Hi, as I mentioned on your talk page, we prefer that new users make significant contributions to the wiki before they start adding captions to images, as adding images is regarded as a perk of contributing to the wiki.

== ''Robots in Disguise'' episode summaries ==
The upcoming AOTP Megatronus figure appears to use his personal insignia as his faction insignia on both the box and toy, so I was wondering if a set of bullet point insignias could be made for the Thirteen Primes since there’s definitely more figures of them to come that’ll use their insignias in place of, say, an Autobot or Decepticon one.

:It's generally fairly easy. You'll need to upload some suitably sized insignias and then create some templates along the same line as [[Template:Bp-a1]] - you just need to change the class in the code to be unique. Then once that's done, I or another admin can add the necessary code to the style sheet. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:30, 31 October 2024 (EDT)

You said: "(I am not sure why the comic that doesn't have any Transformers in is prominently listed before the comic that is actually about Transformers)"

::I don't think it's a lot to ask that if you're going to create a page for a company that worked on Rescue Bots, that you at least watch past the first few screens of credits to see if there's any more information about what they did on the production.

Hello, this is a message from a user who's IP address you have previously banned, along with some of my accounts, such as "iiVexitory" and "CynicalOblivion". I just wanted to let you know that I'd like to sincerely apologize for my foolish and careless actions, such as adding useless notes to some of the articles. I've also done ignorant and offensive things such as deleting everything off of ItzWalky's talk page. I'd like you to know that I, myself, am I very big Transformers Fan and I want to help out and contribute to the wiki. From now on, I promise to not fill the "note" section up and only edit to fix typos and grammatical errors, not adding useless observations. So, can you please unban my IP address? I solemnly swear not to do stupid and arrogant stuff on this Wiki and help to expand it not destroy it. Also, I'm actually not a troll, I actually enjoy Transformers a lot and help editing articles on Teletraan 1: The Transformers Wiki and Transformers: Prime Wiki. I hope you will consider letting me back in to edit on this wiki, and, if it convinces you guys any more, I will ask one of you for permission before editing anything. By the way, this is an IP adress from a library, please don't ban this one either. I'm sorry for my stupidity. - Sharz
 
(I forgot my IP address because I'm an idiot, but if you just unban the user iiVexitory, that would be great.)

Scale Chart Page Error

[edit]

I added a new official chart to the scale chart page: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:TFAOE_GroupScaleChart.jpeg, https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scale_charts, and followed the formatting precedents that were available, but for some reason editing the page caused the title of the ROTB charts section to become unbolded and unaligned. Do you know how to fix it, because I can’t seem to figure it out.

Nevermind! Cyberlink quickly fixed it and I observed the error that was corrected. Steampunk671213 (talk) 11:29, 16 February 2025 (EST)

Glad it got sorted out! --abates (talk) 14:07, 16 February 2025 (EST)

New insignia icon

[edit]

Hey, I noticed the TF Prime toyline page is currently using a Decepticon insignia instead of the Star Seeker one for Thundertron's toy and I also discovered that we didn't have a Star Seeker bulletpoint either., so I decided to give it a go making the bulletpoint myself, but I think I may have missed something somewhere in the coding as the image won't display on the Template:Bp-a1/doc page.

Would you possibly be able to give me a hand?

To make it easier to find, here is the template I made and the file I uploaded:

Thanks. Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 06:48, 4 July 2021 (EDT)

It needs a line added into the site's stylesheets. I can do that now, no problem. --abates (talk) 06:59, 4 July 2021 (EDT)

Privacy Policy

[edit]

Two weeks ago, I put a comment on our Privacy Policy's talk page. No one responded for the first week, so I put another. There has still been no response, so I think there may not be very many people watching it. I think the current policy definitely needs improvement and also needs to be adopted, so I'm contacting you since you were the last admin to make a comment on the page. If you could please give an opinion on its talk page, I'd greatly appreciate it. Hilfam (talk) 17:52, 13 September 2024 (EDT)

I don't really have anything to add since the last time I commented on it. Other than the intro possibly needing a rewrite to be more po-faced, it's reasonably accurate. --abates (talk) 01:59, 14 September 2024 (EDT)
Do I have the authority to edit it directly? I see what you mean by the intro needing a rewrite. Hilfam (talk) 13:59, 14 September 2024 (EDT)
I would suggest submitting the rewrite on the talk page for feedback, then it can be copied to the page itself later. --abates (talk) 21:54, 14 September 2024 (EDT)

Insignias for the Thirteen

[edit]

The upcoming AOTP Megatronus figure appears to use his personal insignia as his faction insignia on both the box and toy, so I was wondering if a set of bullet point insignias could be made for the Thirteen Primes since there’s definitely more figures of them to come that’ll use their insignias in place of, say, an Autobot or Decepticon one. (I’d make them, but I’ve got no clue how to do it, so I’m going to you.) - IGEBM13 (talk) 23:12, 30 October 2024 (EDT)

It's generally fairly easy. You'll need to upload some suitably sized insignias and then create some templates along the same line as Template:Bp-a1 - you just need to change the class in the code to be unique. Then once that's done, I or another admin can add the necessary code to the style sheet. --abates (talk) 19:30, 31 October 2024 (EDT)
Is there a specific code template or something I’m supposed use? (Still new to the site and learning the code and stuff lol) - IGEBM13 (talk) 20:31, 31 October 2024 (EDT)
You can pretty much create new bullet point templates just by copying and pasting the code for, say, Template:Bp-d1 into a new template and change the bit that says class="decepticong1" to something like class="megatronus". --abates (talk) 21:40, 31 October 2024 (EDT)
Alr, I’ll give it a shot in a little bit - IGEBM13 (talk) 22:37, 31 October 2024 (EDT)
Here's one for Prima (I was using him as a test). Assuming I did this right, I should be able to make the others on Sunday.
- IGEBM13 (talk) 11:33, 1 November 2024 (EDT)
That looks good to me. I have added the necessary code into the stylesheets, so it should work like the other bullet point templates. --abates (talk) 17:44, 1 November 2024 (EDT)
And here’s the rest!
(Phew, that was a lot lol) - IGEBM13 (talk) 23:57, 3 November 2024 (EST)
I have added them into the stylesheets. Apologies for taking so long! --abates (talk) 18:56, 8 November 2024 (EST)
