New insignia icon

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:

• Template:Bp-ss
• File:StarSeekerbp.png

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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)
