Alternation suggestion

Should we get rid of "Alternation" 'cuz it's been there for two years. --Kaon Prisoner 19:36, 8 March 2011 (EST)

Well, Alternation has only been there for two months, but I think once we get some translations for this United story that's coming out through eHobby, we could replace it with those. - Chris McFeely 19:56, 8 March 2011 (EST)

So why haven't we done it yet? --Kaon Prisoner 16:34, 9 March 2011 (EST)

Logo Characters

I've been thinking that the characters who sit behind our logo on the main page are a little boring in my opinion. Now, I know this site is not aboutopinions, but why not put some dofferent characters up there? Secifically, high pofile figures such as G1 O.P. and megatron rather than The Fallen and the colorful guy from that BotCon. Maybe change ROTF Starscream into G1 Starscream but the former is pretty well known I guess. So what I'm trying to say is: why not replace some of the lesser known characters with better known ones? --Megatron Prime 18:07, 14 April 2011 (EDT)

Thank you for your input. --ItsWalky 18:12, 14 April 2011 (EDT)

Ask yourself, is it reasonable to turn the tfwiki into a G1 hagiography? If anything, the front page should convey tfwiki's mentality straight up, and that is that no shit is too minor and that Transformers is respected as a brand that knows how to adapt and keep going. Geewunling 02:08, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

Plus the logo already has an Optimus Prime, a Megatron, a Bumblebee, a Starscream, and a Soundwave in the rotation. --ItsWalky 02:21, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

My best understanding is characters who are presently relevant (ie upcoming or just-released fiction) are put in the rotation. Prime characters and BotCon 2011 characters, basically. (hey, on that topic, shouldn't Motormaster, Wildrider and Cheetor be added to the rotation?) --Detour 02:42, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

Thank you for putting it into perspective. It was not my intention to convey that we should turn tfwiki into a G1 hagiography or whatever. So is that to say that the next inductee into the Hall of Fame will be on the rotation? --67.142.174.22 09:19, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

We generally don't add anyone into the logo unless we get new full-body promotional art of them. That's why everyone is recent. --ItsWalky 09:47, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

Case in point: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:TFWIKInet-SentinelPrimeDOTM.jpg --ItsWalky 17:38, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

The rest of the Prime characters should go on IMHO

Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame section directly under the logo seems to me a bit outdated. How about noting Waspinator's victory now? - ¡Usa El Queso! 22:00, 17 June 2011 (EDT)

It's kinda more for site-relevant news. Normally it woulda been swapped out for another Hasbro Q&A, but there hasn't been one for some time. --abates 22:29, 17 June 2011 (EDT)

Ah. Understood. - ¡Usa El Queso! 19:50, 18 June 2011 (EDT)

Crisscross

You guys should change the latest episode of Prime from Operation: Breakdown to Crisscross

Dark of the Moon App

Please make a page for the Dark of the moon app for iDevices. I think people would like it!

Loading errors

I always have problems with the site. It shows the error page constently. Please help me!

Social Networking icons

I added Ravage (SG) to the social networking icons. The HTML code to overlay the text int he dead space to the left of him uses absolute positioning (a tch hacky) but browsershots.org shows it works in every major browser (as well as dozens I've never heard of.) Sooo... I'm leaving it. -Derik 18:33, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

TLAP Day

I just wanted to note how awesome this wiki looked today. Hurrah! - ¡Usa El Queso! ^{Complain here} 00:09, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

...Now it's stuck on TLAP Day... possibly forever... 69.19.14.26 16:33, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

I doubt it will lart forever, matey.--Primo 18:09, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

Ye be right! We bein' back to normal, mateys! 66.82.9.100 14:09, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

English (US) translation

You're right! We're back to normal, guys! 66.82.9.100 14:09, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

Facebook link

It no longer seems to work. Did the Facebook get deleted or something? --abates 22:23, 5 October 2011 (EDT)

It works fine for me. --KilMichaelMcC 00:43, 6 October 2011 (EDT)

Hmmm, maybe it's because I don't have a Facebook account then. --abates 00:52, 6 October 2011 (EDT)

Exiles

Shouldn't Exiles go on the "current releases" info-thing? BattleBlade 20:09, 7 October 2011 (EDT)

Yes, it should. I'm not sure where though. --abates 06:23, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

Under United? That last area in that module was intended as sort of a miscellaneous catch-all for any new releases that don't fit the other categories. Alternatively, maybe under Prime? Isn't it in the same Aligned continuity? --67.252.49.31 10:20, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

Tfwiki.info?

The link's pretty useless. Have you ever overlooked that problem? --66.82.162.19 15:56, 20 October 2011 (EDT)

I concur with this. Is there another reason why that link is still up there? (Sorry if I'm overlooking something) --AutoUIMagnus299 03:33, 20 November 2011 (EST)

gathering

The page for Beast Wars The Gathering has been deleated. Why is that? (184.56.18.164 20:13, 4 November 2011 (EDT))

It's still there at Transformers, Beast Wars: The Gathering. Derik just got the link wrong when he got his bot to change all the links after it moved. I already brought it up on his talk page. --abates 20:24, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Logo Change

I think it wouldn't hurt if you changed the wiki logo in the top left corner from its current Animated look into a more Prime-esque logo. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.147.45.66 (talk • contribs).

I agree! Given that Aligned/Prime is the main continuity it would be fitting. I'd happily knock something up, but graphics is not my forte. - Yuppie 19:12, 2 December 2011 (EST)
