What did you even do?

Yeah, hey. I just happened to see that you somehow "added" something to what I added to Crash Landing Attack Thrust, or maybe removed something, but when I look, it appears as though nothing changed. Am I blind or what? I mean, I'm asking in the sense of understanding this wiki. Oh, just to make it clear, in case I mispoke somehow, I'm not mad or upset or anything like that that you added or removed something to or from what I typed, I'm just confused on what even got changed, and why. Beetle Bug (talk) 04:41, 11 August 2021 (EDT)

Fanofcoolstuff27 changed an underscore to a space in the Bumblebee link. This makes no difference in appearance or functionality, but is simply a "cleaner" form. --Khajidha (talk) 05:25, 11 August 2021 (EDT)
Ah, I thought so, but I wasn't sure. Thanks for that info. Beetle Bug (talk) 05:37, 11 August 2021 (EDT)

What was wrong with update I did?

Why'd you undo my update? Was there something wrong with it? If so, what exactly? Beetle Bug (talk) 03:58, 13 August 2021 (EDT)

By the way, I'm talking about the one on here: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Child_of_Primus , if there was any confusion. Beetle Bug (talk) 04:00, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
You linked to Primal's toy page when it was already correctly linking to his fiction section. Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 04:08, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
To elaborate, linking to what Primal did as part of that group in the fiction that group appeared in is infinitely more important than what toy that fiction was advertising. --M Sipher (talk) 06:03, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
So to make sure I got this right, the toy in question only needed to be linked to the list that's on the page, not this sentence: "Led by the legendary champion of Primus, Optimus Primal, their battles against Unicron's Minions are known as the Universe War.". Am I correct in stating that? Beetle Bug (talk) 06:33, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
No, the list is part of the fiction write up, it has nothing to do with the toys. We do not cross toys with fiction. Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 08:16, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
Then should I change the toy link update thing that I did on that list? Because I also updated the link that Optimus Primal linked too, as that toy is the same as the one in fiction. That's why I'm a tad bit confused. I mean, if the toy and the version of the Transformer in question are the same, they are generally linked like this. Well, I mean, unless I'm not paying attention to something here. Which is likely given my history. So if I'm being honest, I'm still quite confused on the issue. Well... unless..., which I'm guessing from re-reading this, that in this case the link was supposed to link to the page on the wiki that talks about his actions rather than the toy depicted in the comics. Beetle Bug (talk) 08:42, 13 August 2021
Which if that's the case, shouldn't it link to https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Primal_(BW)/Beast_Wars_cartoon_continuity#3H_comics , rather than what it does ? Or am I, yet again, not understanding how this wiki works? Because I've seen stuff like this before, and have been witnessing it for a few years, and I'm still unable to tell the difference between "this is how the wiki works" vs. "this is an error that should be fixed". Beetle Bug (talk) 08:48, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
I already changed it. Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 17:22, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
Yeah, honestly I did notice that while I was typing the "should I fix it" thing. I just didn't bother changing that. Oops. Well, anyways, what about that whole "shouldn't it link to https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Primal_(BW)/Beast_Wars_cartoon_continuity#3H_comics , rather than what it does ?" thing? Am I right with that, or no? I'm still kinda confused about that. Like I get the rest of this, just not that part, given there's quite a few Optimus Primals mentioned on that page alone. I think that it'd be a bit confusing for people to click a link, only to be like "Now which one is the one that this refers to?", and also time consuming to have to figure that out. However, I'm not sure if that's how the wiki "works", per-se. Beetle Bug (talk) 18:22, 13 August 2021 (EDT)

Cultural stuff

I kind of figured that my addition would be removed. Do we have a page or could we have a page for cultural stuff when something like The Goldbergs references the 1986 movie? // Anythingspossibleforapossible (talk) 08:47, 10 October 2021 (EDT)

There's an ongoing discussion in the Community Portal about it. Feel free to chime in! -- Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 12:03, 10 October 2021 (EDT)
