== Scale Chart Page Error ==


==Screencaps==
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.
Your tastes in screencaps is impeccable. :D -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 01:21, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
: Heh, thanks! :) --[[User:Abates|abates]] 01:37, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
::You don't need to use the actual title cards for the main picture of episode articles. Awhile back we decided that those are redundant for the most part, so we've taken to using screencaps of scenes that are pivotal, sum up the episode and are just plain funny. For example [[The Ultimate Weapon|The Ultimate Weapon]]. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 08:50, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
:::Aha! Noted. Thanks :) --[[User:Abates|abates]] 15:46, 5 October 2008 (EDT)


And again! The BW pages are looking great. Keep 'em coming! -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 00:37, 30 November 2008 (EST)

==This Pic==
== New insignia icon ==
[[Image:Lessons of the Past Optimusmonitor.jpg|right|180px|thumb|]]Could you please retake this shot? It's full of little jaggies - check out the lines on Prime's shoulder and elbow. Thanks. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 12:08, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
:That's how it looks in the episode - the image they used is from the end of a zooming-out shot in "An Explosive Situation", so it looks like they did a video freeze on the last frame and overlayed the clips on the top monitors.  Unfortunately it was the only "someone watching footage on a monitor" shot I could find (there's another identical shot of Prime later on, but it has the same problem). --[[User:Abates|abates]] 16:20, 12 October 2008 (EDT)


==Kudos==
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.

[[Talk:Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)#Should this treatment be added to the wiki?]]
Hey, if you've got you Season 2 disks handy, could you grab a shot of Quickstrike as he introduces himself?  Specifically I think there's a moment when the camera's at ground level with him, and you see both his cobra and scorpion heads clearly at the same time.  It'd make a great main pic for the [[Fuzor|Fuzor]] article. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 20:15, 6 December 2008 (EST)

== Insignias for the Thirteen ==


== Automated Cache Processor ==
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.) - [[User:IGEBM13|IGEBM13]] ([[User talk: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. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:30, 31 October 2024 (EDT)

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]]


You can attribute a news/link reference several times throughout an article by creating a reference name. Eg. Say you want to link an article that confirmed Hugo Weaving was returning to voice Megatron in both confirmed news and the cast list. You do this:


Hugo Weaving returns to voice Megatron news.<nowiki><ref name="Hugo Weaving">[News Link news description]</ref>
==The First Seven:edit==

Hi, Abates! For the first seven transformers Wikipedia page, must we add the whole story behind the seven of them? - [[Webearbears]]
 
===Cast===
Megatron (Hugo Weaving)<nowiki><ref name="Hugo Weaving"/>

:Was actually comparing caches last night. MSN seems to be older on most pages I check, and Google is apparently spidering faster and has some of the (heinously bad) backups Bookworm put up in place, Wikia spam and all.

:::Re-checked caches. Yahoo has now spidered us and cached the Wikia spammed crapola, but MSN has a cache of November/December 2008.

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.

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)

File:Estrela-Carrera.jpg

[edit]

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! (FortressMaxxing (talk) 17:15, 17 April 2025 (EDT))

Thanks, I have restored this file. --abates (talk) 17:38, 17 April 2025 (EDT)
Cool, good to see it back! Thanks for the quick action :D (FortressMaxxing (talk) 17:50, 17 April 2025 (EDT))
No problem! Sorry about that - I have messaged the user who erroneously marked it for speedydeletion. --abates (talk) 18:37, 17 April 2025 (EDT)

Bill Simmons:edit

[edit]

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

Hi, Abates! For the first seven transformers Wikipedia page, must we add the whole story behind the seven of them? - Webearbears
