| == Multiple account abuser ==
| | 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. |

| | 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. |

| I was able to add in more information to the Transformers video games, more specifically, the NDS games for the 2007 & ROTF movies, the ROTF PSP game, and the Wii/PS2 version of the ROTF game. I even added in character pages for the Krome-exclusive NPCs, and the playable ROTF DS Transformers. Something that nobody, not even you, were never able to do, because I have the time & energy to do so, all because I did some heavy researching, and thorough analysis.

| :::: It wasn't fair. If the toy wasn't real, I wouldn't have posted anything about it, but it was clearly real and a planned product. It wasn't like it was secret North Korean nuke codes or something, it was a prototype on display, clearly it was being revealed and confirmed. Later on, the same user who called me out later took the credit for himself, when I deserve the credit. I do not understand how that on "the many deaths of Optimus Prime" was wrong when 1. There's a couple of near death mentions on the page 2. The film really built it up like he was going to die and 3. It was the truth. It honestly doesn't end there, but I don't feel like digging it all up, but to make it short, I've been insulted, called a liar, etc. It really makes me think this place is highly elitist, hypocritical, and unwelcoming of newer users, which is why I'm leaving, but want to put my case to rest before I do. -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 23:24, 5 November 2018 (EST)

| |
| ::::: @MisterKenneth: I hope you'll understand that there are very good reasons why we don't list leaked toys here. It's because if we acknowledge the leaked toy, it will encourage further leaks in future, which is essentially encouraging people to break the law. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 00:12, 6 November 2018 (EST) | |
| :::::: @Escargon You started by saying that what people did to me was fair. I simply joined in here to tell @Stormjet that he's lucky he was able to get that cool info in without somebody going after him, which wasn't the case for me. I didn't intend on saying anything else. @Abates I don't understand. How is it a leak if its a confirmed product? I saw people confirm that MPM-7 was a real product going to hit the shelves and online stores, so I have no idea how that's a leak and illegal. It's not like I collected that information from some shady spy in a dark alleyway, the image I uploaded of MPM-7 was from I believe either Seibertron or TFW2005, and I saw sources confirming MPM-7's existence. I was telling the truth. I didn't come here to spread lies, I'm not that kind of person. -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 00:54, 6 November 2018 (EST) | |

They said that it may not have anything to do with the final toy, but after looking at images of the final toy, I can safely say it had everything to do with it.

| | Hi, I believe you accidentally deleted the "Estrela-Carrera.jpg" file (which, per the filename, was just an image of the two variants of G1 Estrela Carrera / Cliffjumper that was currently in use on its respective page) a couple of days ago! Is this reversible (and, if not, can I reupload it?), or was there some other issue with this image? Thanks in advance! ([[User:FortressMaxxing|FortressMaxxing]] ([[User talk:FortressMaxxing|talk]]) 17:15, 17 April 2025 (EDT)) |

| Thanks for moving the Titan page. Could you get the talk page as well? I moved the messages from it onto the Titan (IDW) talk page, so it should be safe to relocate. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 21:53, 7 January 2019 (EST)

| | Hi, I would like to ask whether the page of [[Bill Simmons]], [[Seymour Simmons]]’s father has to be edited. It was mentioned that his father is no longer there to guide him through his early childhood either because of divorce or death. Must we type in a few things regarding this matter? - [[Chenz9001d]] |

| Hey, if you get the chance, could you run an IP check on [[Special:Contributions/Tritusk]] and [[Special:Contributions/Firetrack]]? Both are relatively new, and both are attempting to erase instances of characters dying or inserting claims of "but they were fine", not unlike the already-banned [[Special:Contributions/StarPlat]]. Would rather nip this in the bud early before they start messing up more pages. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 18:56, 15 January 2019 (EST)
| | ==The First Seven:edit== |
| :Tritusk appears to be the same person as [[Special:Contributions/Hipfiree]], which is kinda bizarre because Hipfiree is not banned, (they were banned briefly when we thought they were StarPlat) and in fact edited a few days before they created the Tritusk account. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 20:32, 15 January 2019 (EST)
| | Hi, Abates! For the first seven transformers Wikipedia page, must we add the whole story behind the seven of them? - [[Webearbears]] |
| ::Weird. So I guess Firetrack is clean then? -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:35, 15 January 2019 (EST)

| :::Firetrack I'm not sure on. It's possible that they could be Hipfiree but the evidence there isn't conclusive enough for my liking. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 20:46, 15 January 2019 (EST)

| == Wikia to Fandom changeover == | |
| | |
| Based on my cursory research, it seems the migration from Wikia to Fandom is complete, as every Wikia link I've tested so far has redirected to the .fandom URL. When you get the chance, could you update the interwiki linking system to point directly to the Fandom URL instead? Also, do we have a full list of wikia sites with their own domains that we support interwiki linking to? I know Memory-Alpha is one of them, but that redirects to a .fandom URL now as well instead of memory-alpha.org, so it wouldn't hurt to make sure those are up to date too. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 14:23, 24 January 2019 (EST)
| |
| :It looks like there are some which haven't yet been migrated - e.g. community.wikia.com is still non-migrated. They will probably make an announcement on the staff blog when the migration is finished so once they do that, it should be safer. Our Interwiki for Memory-Alpha points to the .org domain, so so long as that's still redirecting, we should be all right. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 14:38, 24 January 2019 (EST)
| |
| ::Based on [[wikia:community:Help:Fandom domain migration#What are the next steps?|this help entry]], it sounds like the changeover to Fandom will be finished by February 4th, so we should be safe to update things after that date. (Side note, do we want to change the prefix to "fandom:" instead of "wikia:"? I don't mind going in and editing any articles accordingly to update them if we do.). -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 01:10, 26 January 2019 (EST)
| |
| :::We can easily just make two prefixes so people can use either wikia: or fandom: depending. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 04:21, 26 January 2019 (EST)
| |
| :::This may be a stupid question, but why do you want wikia interwiki links? Even if you want to link out to wikia/"fandom", interwiki links aren't nofollow'd (unlike standard external links), so they help wikia's SEO. (Similar but lesser point about changing existing links from wikia to fandom - or memory-alpha.org to the fandom link - since they redirect anyway) - [[User:Mammalian Verisimilitude|Mammalian Verisimilitude]] ([[User talk:Mammalian Verisimilitude|talk]]) 12:00, 26 January 2019 (EST)
| |
| ::::I mean, if you're asking why we'd want to point directly to a page instead of a redirect, that's just good policy from a web accessibility perspective. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 12:54, 26 January 2019 (EST)
| |
| | |
| ::::I don't believe the SEO impact of us linking to, say, Memory Alpha would be significant. In most cases there's going to be one or two links on a page with hundreds of links to other TFWiki pages, and any pagerank juice is shared evenly between all of those links so we're talking about 1/100 of the total from that page. That said, admittedly my knowledge of how Google's SEO system works may be a little out of date of if anyone has more recent knowledge, feel free to join in this thread! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 14:09, 26 January 2019 (EST)

| ::::::^ What this guy said. Other wikis have quit Wikia too when they hit their breaking points.

| |
| :::::::Oh, I know all about that. My point probably should have been made clearer. If we really don't want to help Wikia/Fandom, why link to their sites at all? If, on the other hand, we want to utilize the wikis they host as a resource to help our readers, we should do so with the best formatted links we can use (and not rely on outdated links to continue to redirect). I look at it as us helping the communities hosted there more than the hosting company. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 13:31, 27 January 2019 (EST)

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)
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)

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)
- Thanks! - IGEBM13 (talk) 07:42, 11 November 2024 (EST)
