Hey

Two things: 1, I'm glad that someone else around here wants to work on the TFCC pages. 2, I have a bunch of the older stuff like bios and what not saved onto my harddrive, including the Mini-Cons and the TOTGD bios, and if you e-mail me, I can get you some of them.

Hey!

1. I'm new here and am starting to grasp that the 'never-ending ocean of editors who all know more than me' is not actually as large as I thought, so it's nice to have something that I feel I can meaningfully contribute to. I'm surprised that, for all the arguing about Ask Vector Prime nuances and stuff, people don't seem to be that enthused with the FunPub stuff. Personally I really enjoy the Shattered Glass stories in particular and their main pages are a disservice.

2. It took me forever to track down a lot of the FunPub media on the internet, and I actually found a lot of the Mini-Con bios. 46 of them, to be precise, so if you have any more than that you can send me the lot via dragonflame847@gmail.com. In terms of the TOTGD ones, I only have Stopgap's so I'd really appreciate those. I also have a tiny bio-card for Chromedome and Rewind titled 'INSIRT', so if there's any more like those that'd be awesome. Finally, I have all the MTMTE profiles published in the TFCC magazine but am pretty sure I'm missing a few from the Timelines issues.

3. Speaking of bios, I was wondering how they should be treated in terms of character pages. Some characters have profiles included in their 'appearances' as a story source, but many profiles go completely unmentioned on those character pages. Is it worth including a very short sentence in the 'appearances' section for characters with FunPub bios, if only with the intent of saying 'they got a bio here'? I know there's varying degrees of these things as story sources, for instance Blackarachnia and Depth Charge's profiles being the only BW:U fiction for ages. And there's also the question of where the members-only profiles should go - they're not Timelines, they're not from the Magazine. Personally I'd include them on the magazine page for the sake of simplicity, but that's not technically accurate.

4. Had a glance on your user page and saw you had the translated Cybertronix text there - personally I really think it'd be nice to have the earlier ones on a 'story source' page like the ones for those in the later stories. Perhaps one page with subsections for each story, with links to the existing pages for A Brush With Infamy et al?

I'm currently right in the middle of exams but will be done relatively soon and fully intend to help out with this sort of stuff more then. I'll probably make a bunch of sandboxes and mess around with the layout of the pages until I come up with something people like. - The Wadapan (talk) 17:49, 10 June 2017 (EDT)
