==Kre-O Micro Changers wave 1==
== Scale Chart Page Error ==
Should these be counted as 2012 or 2013 product? I know it says 2012 on the baggies, but I'm not sure if they were spotted before New Years... --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 03:14, 14 February 2013 (EST)
:The [http://tformers.com/transformers-kre-o-transformers-micro-changers/19144/news.html post on TFormers] with the bag codes was made late December. I'm not sure how widespread they were at the time though. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 03:52, 14 February 2013 (EST)


==Bot Shot bios==
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.
Not sure if you've seen these, abates, but the Bot Shots online checklist gives bios to a bunch of characters. (Dirt Boss isn't there as yet, sadly.)


http://www.bot-shots.com/check_list.php
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)

Just a heads-up that it will try to auto-print when you open the page, so you'll have to cancel out of that. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 03:58, 15 February 2013 (EST)
== New insignia icon ==
:Ahh, thanks! I always have a hard time finding that page with their navigation. I see they've added some more bios since I last looked at it too! --[[User:Abates|abates]] 04:07, 15 February 2013 (EST)


== Dude in A Team Effort. ==
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.


Hey, do you know the name of the guy that was mentioned by Take-Off in A Team Effort. He wanted to trans-scan something, I believe. If you do, could you get back to me? {{[[User:Escargon|Escargon]] 18:52, 23 February 2013 (EST)}}
Would you possibly be able to give me a hand?

== Are you the same person as Heathbagenjoyer? ==
Umm just gonna write back from here, sorry I didn't know about the one account thing, I'll just use the other account  --[[User:That one guy|That one guy]]


I was hoping you could restore my Template:L; even if it can't be used for standardized codes due to the sheer number of parsers used on this wiki, it still shortens the code used significantly, and can be implemented on a page easily using regex. Granted conversions would need to be checked before saving, but I've found on the other wikis that we use it on that it has shown to be pretty popular.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 21:20, 20 March 2013 (EDT)
== Name Change ==
:I'm not sure why shortening the code is a big deal when you're reducing the number of bytes for a link by a dozen or so at most, and instead introducing the additional overhead of a template lookup and execution. I'm sorry, it kinda seems like overkill to me when we already have a perfectly good way to make links to other articles. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 22:23, 20 March 2013 (EDT)

:::That doesn't have to be the last word! This is a wiki, after all, so you're welcome to raise more discussion on it at the Community Portal.

== Just a suggestion about spam ==
==Name request change==
Its kind of a stupid and childish suggestion, but since we are tfwiki why dont we refer to spam as something else like: beryllium bologna or sezium salami (there can be an argument about that later) but its just a suggestion to make us a little bit more different from other wikis.

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.

== Insignias for the Thirteen ==
:Thanks! --[[User:Abates|abates]] 18:23, 11 June 2013 (EDT)


== I think it's time to give HHal another time out. ==
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)

==Re:==
Oh, I never got any stats from Wikia; the only reason I have that on my userpage is because this wiki, not the Wikia one, is the first of the results on Google when you search something transformers-related, while Wikia's is a few links down.

==Quick query:==
 
Hey, i'm a new user and i'm still learning the ropes, hoping you can help me out a bit :p
 
I recently added a brief entry to the notes section of the Sounwave (WFC) page, stating that despite not appearing in the film, he is technically present to witness the events(due to events in the previous story arc that trapped him in a pocket dimension, still in this reality, but unable to interact with it, just in case you hadn't seen it). The entry was removed due to being 'unnecessary', and i'm questioning this decision, for a few reasons; firstly, it seems to me that many of the 'notes' are not necessary, just trivialities. Second, my entry was not inaccurate or misleading, which brings to my final point; if I considered it to be of interest, and it presented no misinformation, who has the right to remove it? Surely interest is subjective, and so the entry's inclusion at least deserved some discussion if it's relevance was in question? If a general consensus agreed on it's deletion, fine, but I dislike the idea of a single person's idea of what is interesting outweighing another's.
 
So my question here is, what do you think? Can I appeal this in any way?  
 
Sorry for the length of this, and thanks in advance.
 
[[User:Rhysman|Rhysman]]
:Hey! We try to avoid speculation like that, because for instance, if the next Transformers series follows on from Prime and reveals that Soundwave was off investigating the Harbinger for technology so he could escape the Shadowzone, then someone has to remember the note is there and remove it. Or if it's confirmed that Soundwave was on the Nemesis watching everyone, then the note still has to be removed because the information is then made part of his fiction section what he's doing. There are a bunch of notes likes this scattered around the wiki that have been superseded, but either no one's noticed them or no one's updated them. I hope that explains better why we try to avoid that kind of note. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 00:57, 14 October 2013 (EDT)
 
Ah, that makes sense. Nice one man.
Just out of interest, what would be the case if the next series wasn't a continuation of Prime? Would it be acceptable then?

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)

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
