You can link to an image without actually displaying an image by placing a colon (:) just before Image. Note: Hopefully I am addressing the right person this time. --FFN 01:50, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

Yes, that was me. Thanks! - Starfield 08:43, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

Redirects

Seeing as every redirect you'd created for those toy names for the movie franchise is one that Geewunling later had me delete, I think we can safely say we don't need a redirect for every toy name.--Rosicrucian^Talk 20:13, 5 April 2009 (EDT)

Deletes don't show up in my watchlist or I might have realized what was going on. Really? Movie toy name redirects? They must have been delete-able because I don't immediately recall making them. I don't think there should be redirects for every toy either, but I thought Roadbuster Ultra Magnus was kinda special. It isn't everyday there is a toy deco scheme named after a character (same for the disambig2 on the Roadbuster page). But if not, no biggie. - Starfield 20:31, 5 April 2009 (EDT)

Ah. I didn't pay much attention to the others when deleting them, so if it wasn't you that made 'em my appologies. I just saw you making a new one and came to the wrong conclusion.--Rosicrucian^Talk 20:33, 5 April 2009 (EDT)

OK. I don't think it was me. - Starfield 20:38, 5 April 2009 (EDT)

Unreleased toys

Why don't you just... make the unreleased toys category a subcategory of things that don't exist? —Interrobang 23:54, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

There are only a small number of characters with unreleased toys that don't exist at all. Most have other toys and/or exist in fiction. - Starfield 06:19, 7 April 2009 (EDT)

ROTF

The ROTF page should not be used to put up the latest news. There are questions regarding the details of the Constructicons in this movie, as I outlined in the confirmed news section. As such, we will be holding off on including seeming doubles (Scavenger), guys we never even heard of (Overload), and guys who have no official name yet ("The Doctor"). We'll wait for further information. --FFN 14:13, 8 April 2009 (EDT)

Breakdown/Brakedown

Actually, the full story is that we used to have Breakdown (disambig) which I disagreed with because we only had one Breakdown at the time and two Brakedowns. Also, while the names are alike, they are very much not the same. One can have a breakdown, but not a brakedown. One can push the brake(s) down, but not the break(s). Hence, I moved the page to Brakedown (disambig), got Breakdown (disambig) deleted and pulled Breakdown out of the main list, as well as making his page's disambig3 a disambig2 to the Brakedown (disambig) page. Then Breakdown (Titan) was created just before the crash and I intended to have another look at it. Then the crash happened. Brakedown (disambig) was restored, but so was Breakdown (disambig). I decided to just use what we had and make Breakdown alike to Brakedown, but keep them separated because they are not at all the same name, but close enough to justify linked disambig pages. I'm not much for an edit war and I think my decision could use a second opinion. Do you think they are better off merged or can/should I revert your edits? Geewunling 12:31, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

I jumped to the wrong conclusion about the crash. Sorry I didn't discuss it first. Does "Brakedown" mean anything? Racing jargon? I guess that doesn't matter. Transformer names don't have to mean anything. Either way works. You can change it back. - Starfield 12:56, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

It's okay, it is after all a bit of a weird situation with those names and as stated, I have my doubts on my solution. I opt to revert things though, because, yeah, unless anyone actually protests, Breakdown just stays not Brakedown to me. (And all I can say about the meaning of Brakedown is that it sounds very un-Stunticon-ish ^^) Geewunling 13:13, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

Rodimus

The source is useable for fiction purposes - it is out-of-cartoon info that is still explicitly part of the cartoon continuity. This same kind of facet was used on Warpath's article to fix it when we thought he was dead. The wording could be better served by a using it as a ref instead of "Wyatt said so", but it's just as valid as anything else.

For example

"Rodimus was taken out by Oil Slick's Cosmic Rust gel, but pulled through once recovered by the Elite Guard.<ref>Wyatt said so blah blah blah</ref>"

Its not a spoiler, since it's been released from an official source, and its just false to say "we don't know what happened to him". He survived, and we know it. That is a perfectly acceptable way of doing it.KrytenKoro 11:29, 28 April 2009 (EDT)
