Section names

It's just "Cybertron comic" and "Universe comic" because there are no other comics by those names. You do not need to add the publisher names. Mimi (talk) 01:53, 6 April 2015 (EDT)

Contractions

Why are you expanding contractions in article writeups? That isn't necessary. --abates (talk) 16:28, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

See above. --abates (talk) 23:55, 12 April 2015 (EDT)
I thought that in a few instances, the sentence flowed better without the contraction. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 23:56, 12 April 2015 (EDT)
Hmm, fair enough! --abates (talk) 01:55, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

Section headers

Pleeeease don't start adding "Beast Wars cartoon continuity" to every page for isolated sections without discussing its necessity. Saix (talk) 21:02, 16 April 2015 (EDT)

Once again... Saix (talk) 11:01, 9 May 2015 (EDT)

Dimension hoppers

Thank you for making it obvious why Axiom Nexus citizens make the Dimension Hoppers category pointless. Please undo your work. --ItsWalky (talk) 16:52, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

I'm also wondering why a lot of these guys are being added to the Dimension Hoppers category. Why are the Autojetters and Seacons going in there? I don't see anything on their pages about going from one continuity family to another. --ItsWalky (talk) 16:55, 26 April 2015 (EDT)
Okay okay, all right, apparently you have moved all of the G1 guys from "Invasion" into the category because they live in SG now. This is... arguably unnecessary, because if you read the dimension hoppers category, the category exists for characters who change continuity families, and both Classics and SG are Primax. Whether Positive Primax and Negative Primax constitute something different enough to warrant the category is NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE DISCUSSED, SO PLEASE MOVE THEM BACK UNTIL DISCUSSION IS HAD, THANK YOU. --ItsWalky (talk) 17:00, 26 April 2015 (EDT)
Well they were there in "BW:SG" even though they didn't do anything with any actual Shattered Glass dudes. Escargon (talk) 16:57, 26 April 2015 (EDT)
FACEPALM DIRECTED AT YOU, READ ABOVE --ItsWalky (talk) 17:00, 26 April 2015 (EDT)
I hadn't noticed you'd updated with that when I began editing. Escargon (talk)
When I started adding characters to the Dimension Hoppers category, characters like Ultra Magnus (SG) and Treadshot (SG) were already there. I figured that was because this wiki classifies G1 and Shattered Glass as different continuity families. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 17:05, 26 April 2015 (EDT)
You also moved the entirety of the cast list of the Universe comics in there, despite the page explicitly excluding them. --ItsWalky (talk) 17:08, 26 April 2015 (EDT)
For future reference, if you ever stumble across something that seemingly requires hundreds of edits, please please please please ask us about it first. --ItsWalky (talk) 17:11, 26 April 2015 (EDT)
1. I apologize for breaking wiki protocol. 2. I guess I made a couple unnecessary edits with the Universe characters, but I was intentionally leaving out the characters who had only traveled to the Cauldron. 3. I moved the characters in "Invasion" and Beast Wars Shattered Glass because I read on this wiki that G1 and Shattered Glass were different continuity families. I thought that the absence of all the Classics characters from "Invasion"/BWSG was a minor oversight to be corrected. 4. Why did you undo my alphebetization edit to Apelinq and Child of Primus category edit to 2001 RID Optimus Prime? 5. Do rapid conversations on talk pages always happen at this rate? I've had trouble responding because of edit conflicts.
In the course of running down your contributions list to revert everything, I figured there may have been some false positives, which I am in the process of fixing on a case-by-case basis. Also, I have placed Omega Prime in the dimension hopper category since he's actually gone from RID to the UT. --ItsWalky (talk) 17:40, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

Night Viper

Just to clarify, he was always going to be a Maximal toy. The Predacon history was his original intended backstory. Makes sense, him being a snake and all. Most of the reptiles were Preds.--Jimsorenson (talk) 18:53, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

Apologies. I will rectify that. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 18:58, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

Removing "cartoon-only" categories...

If a formerly-cartoon-only character appears in a comic, then you need to replace "cartoon only" with "Category: Fiction-only Transformers", not just delete the category outright. --M Sipher (talk) 23:59, 14 July 2015 (EDT)

Sorry about that. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 00:00, 15 July 2015 (EDT)

Universe

Nice work on this section. If you're up for it, other attributions for Children/Minions would be useful. --Giggidy (talk) 23:27, 31 July 2015 (EDT)

Overbite

I meant merge Overbite with the G1 one page, not adding the new information to his Universe page but actually, I already add that.--Primestar3 (talk) 17:38, 2 August 2015 (EDT)

References

Do you know why refs that I added don't show up at the end of the page? I referenced Ask Vctor Prime in this page but it don't show up.Primestar3 (talk) 20:15, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

You have to put {{reflist}} at the bottom of the page. --ItsWalky (talk) 20:23, 30 August 2015 (EDT)
Thanks.--Primestar3 (talk) 20:35, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

The reason for Grum's name not showing up

Though I can't say for sure, I suspect that Grum's name was missing because he inserted one too many tildes when signing his post, causing it to put only the date, like so: 22:26, 6 January 2016 (EST) -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 22:26, 6 January 2016 (EST)

Gargent

You deleted the Gargent image for the Universal stream page? Are we not allowed to use GoBots images like that? Lush City (talk) 19:56, 28 January 2016 (EST)

I don't recall exactly which discussion it was, but I believe it was agreed that we shouldn't use images which AVP askers uploaded with their questions. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 21:05, 28 January 2016 (EST)

Disambiguating Wilder

Hey, you're pretty knowledgeable about diambiguation pages and such, right? How would we handle Wilder, L. W. Wilder, and Wilder (G1)? Would we need a [[Wilder (disambiguation)]]? I hate to bother you with this, but his stuff confuses me. -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 22:17, 22 February 2016 (EST)

Huh. I've never noticed that before, but I beleive three guys like that is sufficient to merit a disambiguation. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 22:18, 22 February 2016 (EST)
Yeah, that one must have slipped through the cracks. Anyway, I'll probably start fixing some links to Wilder, but I won't be able to do them all tonight. Thanks for your help! -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 22:29, 22 February 2016 (EST)

Since I wasn't sure if you'd get a notification when I did it or not, I just wanted to let you know that I fixed a link on your talk page (specifically, Apelinq -> Apelinq (BM)) Cheers! -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 17:11, 29 February 2016 (EST)

Ain't No Rat

To answer your question, Dreamwave was planning to tie Beast Wars into its G1 continuity, and its comics were written with that in mind. It also simplifies things by putting the MTMTE and Summer Special content together. Saix (talk) 16:36, 21 April 2016 (EDT)

We don't do that?

http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Thrashclaw&diff=1097114&oldid=1097112

Surely we should link directly to Of Masters and Mayhem somewhere in that article? and that seems as good a place as any--better than anywhere else, even, because the text is already there; i just made it a link. No offense intended; i just don't understand why we don't/shouldn't do it this way.

Thanks. --Rhymus (talk) 20:12, 26 May 2016 (EDT)

P.S.-- http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Slice&diff=1097118&oldid=1097108 ...Wow. Thanks! --Rhymus (talk) 20:15, 26 May 2016 (EDT)

I'm not aware if it is specifically stated in any rule, but we don't do it anywhere on the wiki. If you think we should, bring it to the talk page. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 23:28, 31 May 2016 (EDT)

Changing dates

Why are you changing dates to have the year first? --MistaTee (talk) 06:22, 19 August 2016 (EDT)

I'm sick of the confusion between U.S. and UK order, and in any case, ymd format is how the Japanese do it. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 12:05, 19 August 2016 (EDT)
Not a huge fan, as I've always grown up with MDY, but I guess as long as it's consistent. BTW, the wiki server itself has "19 August 2016". --MistaTee (talk) 15:53, 19 August 2016 (EDT)

Deluge vs Drench

Thanks to you, the Shatterpoint article once again SAYS Generation 2 Deluge while it LINKS to G1 Deluge (who has a rather different deco from Deluge (G2)). i explained this in my edit summary. Please revert your revert.

--Rhymus (talk) 04:28, 31 August 2016 (EDT)

Then maybe next time you should use proper text formatting. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 04:38, 31 August 2016 (EDT)
i see. i thought it'd be fine to leave the franchise identifiers as suffixes rather than prefixes. (The way i had it wasn't even grammatically incorrect.) Sorry. For future reference, how would you feel about His color scheme is based somewhat loosely on that of G1 Deluge or G2 Drench, or His color scheme is based somewhat loosely on that of Deluge or Drench? Also, is there a reason you italicized "Generation 2" but not "Generation 1"? --Rhymus (talk) 04:55, 31 August 2016 (EDT)
Either of those should be fine, though I think the latter is a bit vague to readers. And Generation 2 is italicized because it is the actual published product branding; "Generation 1" is a retronym for The Transformers. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 05:48, 31 August 2016 (EDT)

Animated Blackout IS Prominent Enough

How is Animated Blackout not prominent enough? We have Animated Perceptor on the Perceptor (disambiguation) page, and unlike Blackout, he doesn't even have a toy. Heck, we have RID Kickback on Kickback (disambiguation). --DannyBoy (talk) 07:12, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

Perhaps I acted in haste, but I don't count a single episode appearance and a toy which wasn't released in the U.S. as sufficiently prominent. Heck, Animated Perceptor and Robots in Disguise Kickback could probably be removed. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 07:17, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

Club magazine content

We have only three more months to go in which "we have a 30 day grace period for FP magazine content to go on the wiki" is still relevant, so, like.... --ItsWalky (talk) 21:38, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

? What have I done which hasn't been out for 30 days yet? Do you mean creating stubs for the SG Animated characters? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 21:43, 22 October 2016 (EDT)
Isn't the Thunder Mayhem image from this most recent issue? --ItsWalky (talk) 21:55, 22 October 2016 (EDT)
Aha, it is not. Ignore me. --ItsWalky (talk) 21:56, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

Date formatting

We don't format dates year-first. Never have. Nobody does. Stop changing this. --M Sipher (talk) 22:25, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

Reflist

Thanks for the backstop on Gargent 984.08 Alpha. --Khajidha (talk) 18:35, 13 December 2016 (EST)


"Anomie" Date error

Ultra Magnus or anybody, the date "1st cycle 3041" is way off, isn't it? Why remove this error? --Kmc (talk) 21:08, 3 February 2017 (EST)
