We're totally waving at you!
We're totally waving at you!
Hi, Poliwag06! Welcome aboard!

Welcome to TFWiki.net, one of the foremost resources on all things Transformers! If you're new, we recommend you read through our help documentation before you start editing. Here's some links to specific areas of interest:

This will help you understand how TFWiki.net works, and help ease you into our odd little place. Once you feel you're accustomed, feel free to remove this message!

"Apparently, some of your kind saw fit to decorate me while I was waiting."

If you haven't yet contributed anything, we'd really rather you didn't simply change jokes or add new ones without adding actual content. This also holds true for removing captions whole-hog or replacing them with "information" that really isn't.
Remember, we're meant to be informative first, funny second. Write an episode summary, check out the Most Wanted Pages list or the Stubs list.

Notes

Please stop adding trivial observations to notes sections. Saix (talk) 17:06, 5 November 2022 (EDT)

New pages

You're not meeting your potential.

Please make sure that new pages that you create are up to TFWiki.Net's standards. "Zero-effort" pages are of no use to anyone, and just obscure the fact that full pages are still needed.

The best way to ensure you're using the correct formatting is to copy it from another page. For more help, check out our style guide and new page guidelines.

EarthSpark is literally less than a week away. Please stop making pages for new characters and concepts before we actually know anything about them, especially if you're not going to add more than a sentence or two. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 17:57, 5 November 2022 (EDT)

Invitation to Discord

Hello, Poliwag. It appears to me you could use more hands-on guidance in learning how to navigate editing. I invite you to the Discord server [1] where you can have examples of quality code and pages explained. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 04:52, 18 November 2022 (EST)

Hi, I can't access discord from this link. Did I get booted from the server or something as I can't seem to find it in my saved server and got no emails about being banned. --Poliwag06 (talk) 21:41, 4 December 2022 (EST)

Hello--I just sent you an email about the Discord issue. Let's continue any discussion there, since this doesn't pertain to the wiki. Prime Radiant (talk) 21:51, 5 December 2022 (EST)

Toy images

Please don't upload poor images of packaging in lieu of actual pictures of the toy. You do not need to upload images immediately; let other people take care of it. Saix (talk) 04:22, 28 March 2023 (EDT) Ooops, sorry about that. I'll try not to do so next time.--Poliwag06 (talk) 04:25, 28 March 2023 (EDT)

Velocitron Hot Rod

What did I say wrong about the Velo Citron Hot rod toy? <Calexander0713 (talk) 21:11, 2 July 2023 (EDT)> I think its best not to say any more about it for now until more infor surfaces. Its fine as it currently is.--Poliwag06 (talk) 21:14, 2 July 2023 (EDT)

Talk pages

Yeah, yeah--save it for the message boards!

This wiki is a reference document, not a chatroom. The Talk pages are for discussing how to improve the wiki. The User Talk pages are for requesting and receiving advice (and admonishments) about how to improve the wiki. They're not for random fandom chatting.

If you want to discuss Transformers with like-minded fans, we recommend Seibertron.com, Transformer World 2005, The Allspark, or our Discord.

Shelfwarming

Maybe cool it a bit with trying to label toys as shelfwarmers. Because availability or lack of sales can vary wildly between locations even in the same country (and anyone can say "I see them all the time, so they MUST be shelfwarmers!" with no way to verify), we try to limit declaring toys as such unless there are widespread reports of unsold stock, the same way we tend to remove statements in toy write-ups about "widespread issues" when it's actually only a problem with the writer's specific toy. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 09:40, 3 October 2023 (EDT)

Crimsonflame

I deleted the page you made because it didn't contain enough information to exist in its current form — it didn't have any categories, nor any information on how it was being released. Once you have those things (and, ideally, have uploaded a mainpic), feel free to recreate the page. --Riptide (talk) 22:48, 8 December 2023 (EST)
