I'd just like to say thinks for filling in some holes in the Micromasters. Yeah, there's a lot of work still to be done to a lot of the pages, but having them THERE makes it easier to go "well, I'll just add the foreign names, fill in some more toy details"... --M Sipher 17:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- You're quite welcome, and thanks for noticing. JW 17:57, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
None known?
Just because no one wrote the fictional appearances for some of the Micromasters doesn't mean they have no fictional appearances. The Decepticon Sports Car Patrol was featured in a few issues of the Marvel comic, and also appeared in Spotlight: Nightbeat, for example. --Detour 15:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- I welcome correction. "None known," on most of the Micromaster pages, means, "None known to the creator of this page (JW) at the time he created the page." As opposed to "Forthcoming," which means, "I gather he appeared in such-n-such a comic, but I know nothing about it, and encourage those who do to supply details." JW 18:07, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
More Than Meets The Eye vs "the Eye"
Hi, I realize the book uses "More Than Meets The Eye" with a capped "The". But I know that on Wikipedia at least, words like "the", "a", "an", "for", etc. are lower-cased in titles whether the source uses them correctly or not. I know the Transformers wiki has some differences but isn't that a pretty standard rule? I can dig up the wiki page if necessary. Thoughts? --MistaTee 19:15, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- I can see the argument for "fixing" the canonical capitalization, but one of the guidelines of this wiki is that we show the TF brand "warts and all". Instead of trying to resolve inconsistencies, hide odd choices, or sweep the weirder bits under the rug, we say, "This is how it appeared in canon, whether or not it makes sense." This rule also makes it a lot easier to resolve disputes, like the best way of capitalizing titles. (Wikipedia lists 9 different styles, of which at least 4 are in common usage.) If we go with "canon is canon", we know what the answer is. JW 19:28, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Double Redirects
Hmm, I've been checking for these after I move pages. Do these sometimes take awhile to show up?--MistaTee 05:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- The DoubleRedirects page appears to be based on cached data, so I'd say yes. What you might try is, after moving the page, look at the "What links here" for the new page, and look for redirects to the old page. JW 12:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Check out the talk page again. Tell your friends to discuss it there, too. Please. The RIBFIR Dude 16:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Hearts of Steel issue 4
Yes the big guy is Astrotrain, but I wasn't sure if they were talking about Megatron in cannon mode in one of the boxcars. He doesn't appear at all in the story, while Astrotrain does, if only in train mode. --MistaTee 16:10, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- My intent when I wrote the caption was that it referred to Astrotrain-in-robot-mode. Maybe the pic needs a less confusing caption. JW 16:22, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

For Thy's reasoning behind his caption changes, see his most recent input on the wiki policy page.--Apcog 20:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
changing "issue" to "part" in comic issue titles
It was pretty much decided awhile back that we were using "Comic Title issue X" in lieu of Part, Pt, or whatever. Why are you changing them again? --MistaTee 20:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not. I just fixed some double redirects. I haven't moved any pages in weeks. However, I think the answer to your question, is that in some of these cases the actual printed title of the individual issues is "Black Horizon Part 1" or similar. In that case, we go with the printed title. JW 20:14, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
