| − | :[http://www.tfwiki.net TFWIKI] is where the community that used to work on this wiki moved to whenever Wikia started jerking them around. Virtually every major contributor that made this wiki what it is now left to work on TFWIKI in early September of this year, and as a result, it's now got some 800 more articles than this wiki does. It is, essentially, the wiki you ''should'' be visiting. - [[Special:Contributions/78.32.44.57|78.32.44.57]] 16:33, 19 December 2008 (UTC) |

||
| − | What I'd like to know is where it came from. Was it once created to mirror this wiki? I'm pretty sure the main page said something like welcome to tfwiki.net and I think the talk page had somone complaining about this wiki coming up second in a google search and something like transformers.wikia.com '''or''' tfwiki.net. I am so confused, plus, I'm too used to this wiki to just leave it[[User:Deceptibot747|Deceptibot747]] 17:09, 19 December 2008 (UTC) |
||
| − | :It was created in September when the old staff decided to move to a new, privately-owned server, so that they wouldn't be subject to Wikia's rules and advertising anymore. They were supplied with a database-dump of everything that they had done on Wikia up to that point, so they could take all their work to the new server (which is why there is a lot of mirrored content), but they are two separate sites, owned and run by different people. And yes, this wiki DID previously say "Welcome to TFWIKI.net" on its main page - originally, before the community moved, if you typed "Tfwiki.net" into your browser, it would redirect you to this wiki. The name was put on the front page for some time before the move so that visitors would get used to the new, easier-to-remember address and bookmark it. - 17:20, 19 December 2008 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::So now, this wiki is just left incomplete as it is because the most knowledgable contributors have gone and left. And what remains is a few users with good intentions for this site but aren't capable of much more than protecting it from vandalisme. Hope something good comes along or that wikia removes this site so we wouldn't be left with a vandalised and damaged insult to what this site used to be.

| − | So, uh, what happened to the ability to type something into the text box, click "search," and not have it take me directly to a page, but give me a list of pages the term appears in instead? There is no search button on the front page! --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 11:37, 15 April 2008 (UTC) |
||
| − | :For as long as I've used the wiki, the Search function has only done that for me if what I've typed didn't match the title of any article exactly. As for the front page, I still see the Search box. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm using the Monaco skin.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 14:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::That doesn't match my experiences. I could type in "Megatron," click Search, and then it'd give me a list of pages that mention "Megatron" in the body of the text. It was very useful. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC) |

||
| − | ::To be sure, yes, that would be useful. As it is, now you'd have to type something like "Megatron's" or "Megatron" and another word to get similar results. And yeah, I've seen notices for the admins from [[User:Toughpigs|Toughpigs]] asking for feedback and wondered when that was going to be resolved.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 15:13, 15 April 2008 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Regarding the search box - typing something into the box and hitting "enter," or clicking "go," is the option that takes you directly to the page with the title you've typed. Typing something into the box and actually clicking the button marked "search" is the option that brings up a list of stuff containing the term, and that's the button we appear to have lost here (although on my screen at least, it's coming and going intermittently, but that's probably a browser cache thing). I've not got the Monaco skin on, but regarding that, I rather like it, and I'd like to see it implimented. There's something very "bare bones" about our set up here, and of course, I know that we kinda have that as a show of "not taking everything too seriously," but I'd personally like to see the Monaco skin in use. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 15:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC) |

||
| − | :::Cripes, I can't insert a comment before three more jump in before me. No, there's definitely no Search button visible in the Monaco skin as I'm using it, just an arrow with a magnifying glass icon in it (the equivalent of the "Go" button, obviously). I see the "Advanced search" link too, but it doesn't offer quite the same function, in that it doesn't default to the "all text occurrences" option. Rather, you have to choose settings to get that. Not a terrible extra step, but still...--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 18:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC) |

||
| − | ::::I put it in, but it was Siph's idea. Breaking the "Search" button under non-Monaco themes was also my doing, I'm afraid; I was a little zealous with putting in a more useful search and it didn't quite work. It should be back in a day or two. I somehow totally missed any discussion on Monaco coming up; I'll get to commenting on that. --[[User:Suki Brits|Suki Brits]] 19:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC) |

||
| − | ::::::A random page on search function is really a good idea because that would make us know about more characters.

| − | :::::::Then I thank you guys for it. '''IF''' we switch to Monaco, is there any way to do a similar function with that skin? I think the function is very helpful for newcomers to the wiki (and Transformers in general) for they don't have to look through lists of names or randomly search for things. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 05:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::::::::I don't think it'd be too hard. If we ''do'' switch to Monaco, there'd need to be some changes done to the search box anyway, since under that, there's no "search" button. --[[User:Suki Brits|Suki Brits]] 05:56, 16 April 2008 (UTC) |

||
| − | :Because... I don't know really. I don't know why the powers-at-be chose to create these little search pictures for characters that have no pictures. One would think if they had a reasonably sized image to create the search button picture, they could have uploaded the full size image for the page itself.

||
| − | Now that the Monaco skin is the default, and Toughpigs is around to help us out, I suggest we figure out a way to redesign the front page so it isn't just a columns of text. Is there any reasonable way for us to have the franchises in the By Series (or anywhere else, really) represented by the franchise logos? The logos can be as recognisable as the names alone, and given we're getting more and more visitors every day, it would be helpful to make the place more visually pleasing and more user-friendly. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 20:30, 27 April 2008 (UTC) |
||
| − | :I think that's still a [[Talk:Main_Page/Archive2#Logos_for_.27By_series.27_column|bad idea]]. The logos were never designed to look good together, and some (like the 2007 movie) are anti-informative. If you can present a design that somehow makes it work, please do.

||
| + | It has come to my attention that many users who are...unfamiliar with the concept of satire will sometimes attempt to change articles and insist that we are bashing their favorite characters, continuities, etc. Therefore, I've decided to add a note to the front page explaining how we do things here and why. I will not add the note until it has been approved by several individuals, including, but not limited to, my colleagues on the administrative staff. If you have any changes or additions that you wish to suggest, please let me know. The following is the current draft of the notice: |
||
| − | ==Prime Image== |
||
| + | :Important Notice to all users: Here at Teletraan-I, our philosophy is that one cannot truly appreciate something unless they are willing to make fun of it. As such, many articles on this wiki are written for the purpose of satire. The humor used on this wiki is not meant to bash or denounce the subjects that are discussed; rather it is meant as a lighthearted jibe at the franchise that we enjoy, and our fellow fans. For instance, the "Ruined FOREVER" article is meant to be sarcastic, and does not actually denounce any of the topics listed, but rather pokes fun at those closed-minded fans whom vehemently protest any perceived changes to the franchise. Articles such as "Bayformers" or "Pokeformers" are meant to satirize the mindset that some fans may have toward certain continuities. Having said that, any unauthorized attempt to remove these articles, or to change their fundamental aspects, will not go unpunished. Repeat offenders will be banned. You have been warned. |

| − | Y'know, it just recently occurred to me that when we scan characters' profile art, we should probably include more than their robot mode. For instance, it seemed like [[:Image:Primal_FPUnivBio.jpg|this pic]] was served by including the gorilla mode because it emphasized the fact that it wasn't his original beast form. Then I uploaded [[:Image:SoundwaveCyb_FPbio.jpg|this image]] and included the jet because it was a particularly well-drawn alt mode. And now that I've done that... I'm going to make a point of including alt-modes whenever I can. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 02:39, 10 June 2008 (UTC) |

(I'd also be against it because it'd be pure flashy gimmick- knowing the number of minutes isn't any more ''useful'' than the number of days.) I find the days useful because they remind the that between sequels, novels, tie-in, early buzz, DVD campaigns, late store exclusives... the 'stuff' relating to the first movie is still just wrapping up. (The followup comic comic will run through August.) At ''that'' point- it'll be 300 days until the second movie. Since you can expect to see the first teasers, prequels, buzz, viral marketing campaigns etc... ~200 days out, I find it a useful tool for me keeping my perspective.

Also, if there could be one line for Gobots, with a page branching off from there, it would be good.—[[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 10:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC) |

| − | I think it looks quite impressive. But, I must admit, I had a hand in this too. I added all the U.S. franchises to the list. I did not, however, add the Japanese franchises. But, when saw that someone had, I tweaked the list a bit by changing "comic" to "manga" on those that had manga instead of comics. I also added "manga" to G1 since it had both "comics" ''and'' "manga". I then continued tweaking by fixing some links that needed to be fixed. And I added the "<s>toyline</s>" and "comic" to Transtech. Say what you guys want about he list being a negative thing, but I think it's spectacular.

| − | Could a link to the newer, better, more reliable TF Wiki be posted on the main page to let people know of its existence? I've been going to several sites and found out that many people still come to this site looking for info, when they ought to be going to the newer one since its info is more up-to-date and this site's info is... well, this site's info is good but, let's face it, a lot of it is outdated, incomplete, unfinished, and not as reliable as it could be. I know that it may drive away several of this site visitors, but most of the experts who ran this site before the move have already left a long time ago. So, could there be a line of text that would say something like "We encourage you to also visit our more up-to-date <u>TFWiki</u> site for the best Transformers information." and have it link to www.tfwiki.net. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 01:00, 12 February 2009 (UTC) |

||
| − | :::I think Sabrblade is half-right. There should be a permalink explaining how the original TF Wiki community left for TFWiki.net, and this is therefore no longer the original wiki, but instead now a separate wiki. No judgements necessary on which is better, just an explanation on what happened. |
||
| − | :::I get really, really tired of having to explain the situation to people who don't understand why there's two TF wikis that have near-same content, or that the original community left and thus is not responsible for information posted here. |

||
| − | :::(Aside: Although, TBH, I think Sabrbrade has a point. If you really want to attract editors, the right/honest way to do it is by going into the outside TF fandom and recruiting those people who are knowledgable about TFs and dissatisfied with how the old community did things. Don't try to attract editors by having the casual visitors just looking for TF info think this is an up-to-date, actively-maintained wiki when it's currently not. I'll settle for just the basic information notice idea at this point, though.) --[[Special:Contributions/72.79.223.89|72.79.223.89]] 08:30, 26 March 2009 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Now that I've had some sleep, let me explain my reasoning further. |
||
| − | |||
| − | 1. Right now, the only people providing explanations on the situation are people who are disgruntled with Wikia... which means that this sort of post> (<nowiki>http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?p=901755#p901755</nowiki>) is fairly typical of the type of explanation that ends up being given. |
||
| − | |||
| − | If ''you'' folks explain here how the original community left and this is now a separate site from them, that means you get to word it in a way that doesn't make you look bad. (It also gives you some brownie points in terms of having more honesty about the situation than is currently being displayed.) |
||
| − | |||
| − | 2. The only way this wiki is going to thrive as opposed to sitting on life support is if you can get a critical mass of people who are very knowledgable about and dedicated to Transformers. Casual editors are helpful to an already thriving wiki, but can't sustain a dying one on their own. |
||
| − | |||
| − | And, let's face it, any dedicated editor who likes the way the original community did things has no practical reason to stay here when they can go ahead and work with/continue working with the original community. And it's obvious that the number of folks who've stayed behind out of altruism or because they like Wikia is woefully inadequate. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Therefore, IMHO your best tack to take on finding editors is to go after those folks who are knowledgable about and dedicated to Transformers, but ''didn't'' like the way the original community did things. If you can let these people know that the original community left and they're now free to shape '''this''' wiki the way they've always thought a TF wiki should be run, you'll have a higher chance of getting them to actually do so. However, that's never going to work as long as you're making it seem like this wiki still has any ties to the original community. (I'd get rid of the humor policies, for one. The only way this wiki is going to thrive is if you do things differently than the original community did. After all, think about it - why would anyone bother spending serious time on a wiki that's a mostly-dead psuedo-copy of the way the original community does things, when they can just, you know, go to the original community's actual wiki and get the "real thing"?) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Explaining about the leaving/separation benefits you in this regard as well (provided that the TF fans still here follow it up by doing some active recruiting on the forums, since people who disliked the old wiki probably don't currently visit here, since they have no reason to think things have changed). |
||
| − | |||
| − | So, to sum up - having an accurate explanitory notice likely benefits both you and the casual TF fans more than it does us TFWiki.net folk. --[[Special:Contributions/96.240.220.134|96.240.220.134]] 18:45, 26 March 2009 (UTC) |

Japanese shows?
Umm, the G1 cartoon sections don't link to pages for Headmasters/Masterforce/Victory/Zone. Nothing on the main page to note them as part of G1 or their own franchise. Ought to fix this. I mean, these shows are all available in North America now.
Poll
Should we change the poll? It seems pretty old. Teh lolz! Bionicle+Lotr 22:29, September 19, 2009 (UTC).

I need help
I just created a wiki called TRANSFORMERS toys Wiki,and I need people to sign up!Masterman555 19:33, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
Obama
Does anyone want to create an article on Barack Obama because he did a lot in ROTF, like disband NEST (which played a big part) and was rushed to a bunker (which was not-so-big part). Teh lolz! Bionicle+Lotr 00:51, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
- Obama didn't disband NEST, did he?
In Age of Extinction "The President" has a hand in all that, thinking that Attinger is only going after Decepticons. Matt Seay (talk) 04:03, July 6, 2014 (UTC)

Note regarding satire
It has come to my attention that many users who are...unfamiliar with the concept of satire will sometimes attempt to change articles and insist that we are bashing their favorite characters, continuities, etc. Therefore, I've decided to add a note to the front page explaining how we do things here and why. I will not add the note until it has been approved by several individuals, including, but not limited to, my colleagues on the administrative staff. If you have any changes or additions that you wish to suggest, please let me know. The following is the current draft of the notice:
- Important Notice to all users: Here at Teletraan-I, our philosophy is that one cannot truly appreciate something unless they are willing to make fun of it. As such, many articles on this wiki are written for the purpose of satire. The humor used on this wiki is not meant to bash or denounce the subjects that are discussed; rather it is meant as a lighthearted jibe at the franchise that we enjoy, and our fellow fans. For instance, the "Ruined FOREVER" article is meant to be sarcastic, and does not actually denounce any of the topics listed, but rather pokes fun at those closed-minded fans whom vehemently protest any perceived changes to the franchise. Articles such as "Bayformers" or "Pokeformers" are meant to satirize the mindset that some fans may have toward certain continuities. Having said that, any unauthorized attempt to remove these articles, or to change their fundamental aspects, will not go unpunished. Repeat offenders will be banned. You have been warned.

Colors/Background
For some reason, just the main page is difficult to read with the light gray font against the white background. Is it possible to change the text color to black? No other pages appear like this.--Trip 20:24, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know what happened. It doesn't look like this before. --TX55TALK 01:32, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
- Done, I just revert the MediaWiki:Wikia.css. ;-) --TX55TALK 18:16, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
The unfunny captions needs to go.
Teletraan for ever
this wiki is fantastic. in the other transformers wiki tthere are a lot of problems (tf3 wiki is a ghost wiki there isn't anyone that edit the article) but in this wiki there are the best admins, the best users and the best transformers article by Shockwave1704
- Agreed! I used to us another wiki called TFWiki, but it doesn't seem to have the seriousness of this one. Go Teletraan 1 --TFan99 (talk) 22:21, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
Relevant information
Visual Editor
On other wikis I can switch between WYSIWYG editing and source code editing? Why not here?--

Is this place dead?
I just became a member of wikia to help this Transfomres wiki (since TFWiki won't let me join their club) and thought to help out with some very new info. (Like Rise of the Dark Spark video game page) But I can't help but to notice A LOT of info here are out of date and new info are no where to be seen. (there wasn't even a box art for the TWO YEAR old "Fall of cybertron" video game (there is now since I put it))
Not being the spoiled one but I have to say this wiki is doing really.....how do I put this.....bad. What gives? Cyborg_WizardCyborg Wizard (talk) 18:38, April 17, 2014 (UTC)
Change that introduction
Whoever in charge of the Main Page, please change that introduction; It makes me cry. Look at it; The first thing it has is a "breaking news" (with very unattractive writing), and then without even a period, there is the "Welcome" passage. Notice ANYTHING wrong?
The first impression of the reader makes big difference. And that main page ain't doing a very good job at it. Have a different section for news and keep the welcoming passage clean and nice.

Update the homepage!!!
It been about 5-6 years now! shouldn't the "Revenge of the fallen is Now on DVD" be replaced with Dark of the moon, or Predicons Rising?
Personality Quiz - where?
When I click on the link for the Transformers Personality Quiz, it takes me to a blank page. Where is the quiz? Or is it being blocked by the ad blocker in my browser? ~ Mando Jetii (talk) 17:32, May 27, 2015 (UTC)
