==Image request==
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.
Thanks for the (fast) image upload for Leftfoot's assistant. If it's not too much to ask, could you perhaps also provide a screencap of "[[Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter]]" - Gilmer reaching for his crotch in pain. I'd like to see it added to the episode page and the [[Humanization]] article. And if you'd have The Headmasters DVDs, the [[purple rat monster]] article has been without image for half a year. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 03:28, 17 October 2010 (EDT)
:Sure! Unfortunately my DVDs of The Headmasters are out on loan to a friend at the moment, so I haven't even been able to get around to adding screenshots to the HM episode articles. I will see what I can do though. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 03:44, 17 October 2010 (EDT)

===Image request revisited===
Nevermind! Cyberlink quickly fixed it and I observed the error that was corrected. [[User:Steampunk671213|Steampunk671213]] ([[User talk:Steampunk671213|talk]]) 11:29, 16 February 2025 (EST)
Do you think you could do another imagery list? I am looking for a better version of Image:Starscream clone G1.jpg, a screenshot of [[Trashbin]] (as the page itself notes, the best image moment would be shortly before the line "you check in, but you don't check out" by Wreck-Gar during the chase scene on Junk), and [[Dread slaves]] needs some images. I think a screenshot of when Kup finally frees everybody, aka that time organic prisoners show up, would be good for the Notes section. Possibly when three of the robot prisoners (the ones who get caught by Predaking) try to flee would be good as main image. Think you could get these? [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 04:21, 13 December 2010 (EST)
:Glad it got sorted out! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 14:07, 16 February 2025 (EST)
:I'll take a look. I did look through my screenshots for "Chaos" a while ago for suitable shots of the Dread slaves, but couldn't find any, so I may have to go back to the episode. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 04:53, 13 December 2010 (EST)
:Er, regarding [[Trashbin]], I don't see him in that shot. The dude in the middle back is closest, but has a different head and legs to the character model. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 05:48, 13 December 2010 (EST)
::Thanks for the uploads so far. With Trashbin, it "is" the dude in the middle. The fact he has a slightly different head and legs in that shot doesn't change what model he is supposed to be anymore than [[HAZMAT]]'s face/no face difference. Alternatively, the closest possible shot of him attacking Arcee will also do (can't use the moment after she knocks him over, because then the model gets switched for Junkyard's). Does this help?

==="Plaise, suh, may I 'aff s'more?"===
== New insignia icon ==
Many thanks for Trashbin's and the early war dudes' images. Though, could I request some more images for the latter's page? For the gallery, I'd like images of the yellow/blue and green dude when they walk next to each other, the red and the blue chars behind them standing in front of each other, the [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]]-like dude fleeing, the red and blue guys fleeing for Decepticon fire and maybe another image for the grey/red guy fleeing behind them. I'd also like a shot from "The Key to Vector Sigma" featuring at least the green dude for the Notes section. Think you could get these too? [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 18:54, 26 December 2010 (EST)
:Done! --[[User:Abates|abates]] 02:19, 27 December 2010 (EST)


===Bothering you once again. Sorry===
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.
If you can find the time, could you get a few articles some more images? I'm looking for an image of Megatron getting a pair of binoculars from his chest for the continuity ntoes section of "[[The Master Builders]]" and the images as described for the [[Satellite Penitentiary inmates]] and [[Satellite Penitentiary personnel|personnel]]. For the inmates, I like to see the current image replaced by a full panshot one, and I'd prefer Gaihawk to be visible in the drowned inmate-is-still alive shot so it can be added to the episode page's animation error section. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 05:48, 6 March 2011 (EST)
:I've stuck an image up for the Master Builders! I'll have a look at the Satellite Penitentiary articles this evening, though a pan might be tricky - the NSTC to PAL conversion Madman used means 90% of the frames end up overlapping, but if Shout Factory release Victory in NTSC, that will help. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 14:59, 6 March 2011 (EST)
::I had missed that you added the remaining images. Thank you for that. Though at the risk of sounding ungrateful, might I ask why you opted for an 'escape from explosions'-shot rather than another prison-panshot? Did the frames overlap?
::On a not-image related note, the "Teacher" category. It has no description, so I'd like to know how exactly it is bordered. It currently only has "classroom" teachers listed, but aren't characters like Ani Yoketron, Cyb Brakedown and En Landmine teachers too? [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 05:54, 17 April 2011 (EDT)
:::It seemed like a good idea at the time? I couldn't find much to choose from with what's usable in the episode, and the erupting lava shot seemed to have some interesting body forms in.  As for the teachers category, I basically added everyone I could think of at the time who was a teacher, so I'm not surprised I missed some people (well, not so much the UT guys, because I haven't seen Energon or Cybertron since they were broadcast) --[[User:Abates|abates]] 07:17, 17 April 2011 (EDT)

I just don't see the rhyme or reason at which you delete stuff. I thought the focus here was on comedy, so the reasons you gave for removing some things made no sense. I always tried to think up meaningful content to add when I came across something. I don't just add for the sake of adding, and everything I've added was there before on the wikia site. --[[User:Tommy-Vercetti|Tommy-Vercetti]] 16:54, 8 November 2010 (EST)

:We split from the Wikia site two years ago, so it has evolved different rules to us. Some of the things that you added, like the last appearance of Inferno's beast mode, aren't particularly notable in themselves - if we added notes every time a character was seen for the first or last time, the wiki would be covered in them. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 17:12, 8 November 2010 (EST)

In reference to your comment when adding the Darkness Rising page, I think that home video release information for a mini-series should go on the main page instead of being repeated on each individual episode page as these are rarely if ever released separately.

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.

Looking at the history of the page, this guy's been rotating IPs, the rest might need to be preemptively blocked. - [[User:Cattleprod|Cattleprod]] 00:26, 3 February 2011 (EST)
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)
:Yeah, that might be a good idea. Man, some people take this stuff far too seriously. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 00:34, 3 February 2011 (EST)
: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.

Apparently you haven't read the [[Megatron (Movie)]] article in awhile, because Eagc7 was just trying to help out. [http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Megatron_%28Movie%29&diff=484337&oldid=481886 Xaaron made this edit] almost a year ago, most likely because nobody bothered to fill out that section since 2007. Nobody objected. Eagc7 evidently noticed this and was trying to make the other articles consistent. I know you were only following Detour's lead, but I think you should have investigated why Eagc7 didn't seem to edit Megatron's article, or questioned him. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 03:37, 12 April 2011 (EDT)

::Not that I know of, but the point was he made that edit, nobody objected at the time, and then somebody else tried to do the same and got insta-reverted.

Scale Chart Page Error

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.

Ah, I see that it works now. Tysm! Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 07:07, 4 July 2021 (EDT)

[edit]

I am currently User:Cosmos1 but would like to have the user name Waverod, as discussed in the Discord server. Waverod ✈️ (talk) 06:16, 19 September 2021 (EDT)

Are you the same person as Heathbagenjoyer?

[edit]

Name Change

[edit]

Hey, can you change my username to User:Boingus? I already changed my signature. Thank you! --Boingus (talk) 19:56, 13 January 2022 (EST)

Sure, done! --abates (talk) 21:04, 13 January 2022 (EST)

JaAm

[edit]

Any particular reason you decided to change the title back? —Yaxuo (talk • contribs) 14:21, 19 January 2022 (EST)

It was with respect to the recent discussion on Talk:JaAm about how the comic has not aged well and can be interpreted as offensive. --abates (talk) 14:52, 19 January 2022 (EST)

Transformers 2 treatment

[edit]

Talk:Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)#Should this treatment be added to the wiki?
I would like to get your opinion on the above. Is it worthy of documentation? https://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2007/10/transfomers-2-leaked-script.html?m=0
"Finally at Michael Bay's forums, Nelson (head admin) posts that the script isn't fan made reminding readers 'It's a treatment...far cry from a shooting script.' " --Primestar3 (talk) 06:49, 24 March 2024 (EDT)

I guess that would be covered in the same way we're covering the TFTM early draft. --abates (talk) 15:16, 24 March 2024 (EDT)
Ok, thanks for answering.--Primestar3 (talk) 17:32, 27 March 2024 (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)
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
