However,when adding new information, please ensure that it is:

• official - the Nitro toy has only been revealed through unofficial leaks, so it cannot be covered by the wiki yet. See Help:Official info for more details.
• accurate - multiple people have confirmed at this point that the Optimus Prime stock photos seen in Argos catalogues are being mistakenly used to represent the regular new-mould TLK Voyager Optimus. The DOTM redeco's actual avenue of release is currently unknown.

Please note...

1. It's against TFWiki rules to blank your user talk page.

2. Please don't create single-sentence articles. No article is better than a zero-effort one.

Thank you. Jalaguy (talk) 18:39, 3 July 2017 (EDT)

Hey man! Back to subject, sorry I didn't follow the rules. The Transformers Tribute page was saved before I finished editing all of it, so that is why you saw only one sentence. I put up the page back, complete with more than one sentence, and the actual toys listed on it. Check it out. Also, I see people signing their posts where it can leave a link to their page and talk page? How do you do that? I can't find how on any of the help pages, and I even logged out and looked at a post I signed. Still didn't show a link... so how do you do that?Once again sorry I messed up, but hopefully it won't happen again. Thanks for reading. west james/notirishman 22:28, 3 July 2017 (EDT)

Thanks, but it still doesn't have a link to my page and talk page. west james/notirishman 10:14, 4 July 2017 (EDT)

Actually I figured it out. -west james/notirishman (talk) 11:58, 10 September 2017 (EDT)

Images

Depending on what browser you're using, it can take a few minutes for your cache to catch up with the new image you uploaded. Or in other words, try closing and reopening your browser after uploading a new version of an image and it should be there. Grum (talk) 13:26, 2 October 2017 (EDT)

Thanks, but I tried closing and reopening the browser, but it didn't work. -west james/notirishman (talk) 13:47, 2 October 2017 (EDT)

The sure-fire method is to do a "full" refresh of the page, by pressing Ctrl + F5. That ignores any cached version of the image and loads it fresh, and you should see the new version. Jalaguy (talk) 14:02, 2 October 2017 (EDT)

Ahh, i see it now. Thanks. -west james/notirishman (talk) 17:52, 2 October 2017 (EDT)

I uploaded stock photos for MP-29+ Shockwave, but I totally forgot to put in a stock photo tag. Is it possible to edit that tag in after I uploaded the photo, or am I going to have to upload a new photo with the right tags or whatever? -TargetmasterJoe268 (talk) 16:40, 10 May 2018 (EDT)

Actually no. Tags go into the description, not on the image itself. I have already tagged the image with a Masterpiece stock photo template. More information on these image templates can be found on the image guidelines page. --westjames/notirishman (talk) 16:57, 10 May 2018 (EDT)

Toy images

When adding them, please put them above the toy's name for better formatting. Saix (talk) 22:55, 17 February 2018 (EST)

Okay, I will for now on. -west james/notirishman (talk)

AOE Grimlock

Lol bro I have no idea either with that design, and I'm starting to think the designers had no idea either! -—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cannonfodder4000 (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

I took a look at screencaps and, yeah, I could make out the other side of the jaw on each shoulder, so there is a head on each shoulder. It's kinda wonky. -west james/notirishman (talk) 20:32, 23 February 2018 (EST)

From kampungpisangadrian

Actually I want to edit more,but I have limited time to do so sorry. Kampungpisangadrian (talk) 10:44, 24 March 2018 (EDT)kampungpisangadrianKampungpisangadrian (talk) 10:44, 24 March 2018 (EDT)

No, its fine, just on your free time you might wanna quickly go through the guidelines just so you know what not to do. --westjames/notirishman (talk) 10:57, 24 March 2018 (EDT)

generations change

you: (→‎Alt-Modes, GDO/Cyber Series/Masterpiece, and Platinum Edition (2015–2018): They are part of the PWT because of similar packaging design)

What is PWT? --MistaTee (talk) 22:57, 12 April 2018 (EDT)

Sorry, I was being lazy; PWT stands for Prime Wars Trilogy. --westjames/notirishman (talk) 07:18, 13 April 2018 (EDT)

Well those lines are definitely not part of the PWT, which is large enough to deserve its own section IMO. I would imagine that the WFC Trilogy would have its own section as well (in time). I'm only looking to simplify the headers of the generations subsets. Perhaps Generations is so big now that we need to structure the page differently? --MistaTee (talk) 21:03, 13 April 2018 (EDT)

Well you might want to ask on the Generations talk page, as I agree, the Prime Wars Trilogy section holds way to many subsections that aren't technically part of Hasbro's definition of the PWT. --westjames/notirishman (talk) 21:25, 13 April 2018 (EDT)

Image sizes

Just a heads-up, we try to keep images under 150KB in size to conserve bandwidth except in special cases. All the screencaps you uploaded from the POTP trailer are over that size, some of them twice so. Once the episodes start airing, I'll replace the ones we've got with lower-resolution equivalents that also lack the watermark in the corner, but just try to keep that in mind next time you upload. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 16:57, 24 April 2018 (EDT)

Oh sorry, I completely forgot about that. Thanks for the heads up. --westjames/notirishman (talk) 16:59, 24 April 2018 (EDT)

Caption bastard

"Caption bastards" are specifically for users who do nothing but add captions. People who contributed plenty are allowed to change existing captions. Escargon (talk) 20:46, 4 May 2018 (EDT)

I apologize for misusing the term, but users still aren't allowed to change captions (unless it's an overused joke or offensive/inappropriate) under the wiki's guidelines for captions. --westjames/notirishman (talk) 21:06, 4 May 2018 (EDT)

Well, no, it's "new users" that aren't supposed to change captions. I've been here five years now and I think I've put in enough work to justify goofing around with the captions every so often. Grum (talk) 12:40, 5 May 2018 (EDT)

Ah, I see. Sorry for bugging you. --westjames/notirishman (talk) 13:00, 5 May 2018 (EDT)

Cylas here

Thank you for your comment on my talk page. It brought tears to my eyes and was exactly what I needed. God bless you! -Cylasbreakdown (talk) 23:48, 9 May 2018 (EDT)

Thank you for the welcome back. You are so very kind, and I almost weep when I read your comments. Glad to be back. Cylasbreakdown (talk) 15:46, 1 June 2018 (EDT)

MPM4 Images

Really sorry about the five images, I totally forgot about the format and size. I just couldn't help notice the ones on the page were mistransformed in both modes and did not represent the colors of the final product, which were much brighter. Should I properly tag the photos or do you want them deleted instead? They were the only stock photos I could find with Optimus properly transformed.
