Moderators

Hi! Just wanted to ask if all moderators were chosen during the early days of TFwiki. Thanks. Optimus Prime (Convoy) (talk) 03:41, 1 January 2015 (EST)

By the way, apparently iOS doesn't like to allow users to view recent edits, histories or even edit at all.Optimus Prime (Convoy) (talk) 03:44, 1 January 2015 (EST)

The admins were gradually picked over the years the wiki has been in operation (almost ten years now!) --abates (talk) 04:32, 1 January 2015 (EST)

Small favor

While extracting Macro's backstory from the game files, two letters didn't come out right. I don't know much about Transformers Lore and just wondering if you got any suggestions on what each of the letters might be? (Considering the rest of Macro's backstory does seem mention references to existing locations in TF lore.) Here's the words that contain missing letters:

• "Speed*a"
• "Tower of *ion"

For the first, there's the Speedia 500 - Speedia is also the Japanese name for Velocitron.

For the second, probably the Tower of Pion. --abates (talk) 16:28, 5 January 2015 (EST)

That certainly fits in perfectly, many thanks for your help! -- Plasmapause (talk) 16:48, 5 January 2015 (EST)

Double-redirects

Sorry, forgot t'check the really obvious bits! - SanityOrMadness (talk) 05:34, 21 January 2015 (EST)

No worries! --abates (talk) 05:50, 21 January 2015 (EST)

Image Import Error

I stuck a bunch of files with no description whatsoever in C:IIE a while back in the hope it might prompt someone to identify where they came from. - SanityOrMadness (talk) 06:19, 8 February 2015 (EST)

That's really a situation where applying a template would be better, I think. They're more visible on the image description than a category is. :) --abates (talk) 14:32, 8 February 2015 (EST)

Fair point. I think I didn't want to create the template at the time. - SanityOrMadness (talk) 19:24, 8 February 2015 (EST)

Paper Magic Group

Dunno what's going on with them, but we usually have 2 - 3 sets a year from them with the same name despite covering different continuities. I find that sticking a franchise tag on each page is likely the best way to keep them apart. Ironhold (talk) 16:46, 25 February 2015 (EST)

WWOD image

Any chance you could replace File:RID2015-BumblebeecontactsOptimus.jpg with a better-quality 16:9 image? Its mismatch with the other images on the page is really bugging me. Saix (talk) 04:42, 6 May 2015 (EDT)

Sorted! --abates (talk) 04:53, 6 May 2015 (EDT)

Thank you! Saix (talk) 04:57, 6 May 2015 (EDT)

Can you do the same for File:RID-bumblebeeholdsdebris.jpg? Saix (talk) 02:05, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

I've been meaning to start a discussion about replacing that as a main image, actually. Typically our main images are either something notable about the episode, or a particularly funny moment, and that image seems like neither to me. I need to find a better suggestion first though! Just haven't gotten around to looking. --abates (talk) 02:47, 2 June 2015 (EDT)
