IC2 Navbox
Alright, so I did the first bit today, but I don't have the admin rights needed to accept the page. I can keep updating it all, but I don't think the changes will display until someone with admin rights accepts what I'm adding. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 22:54, 16 June 2014 (BST)

It doesn't matter if you can't sign it off, I'll bug Retep998 or something :P
 * uh, wut. Why doesn't everyone have perms to edit navboxes? /me looks into it and hopefully changes it --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  03:20, 17 June 2014 (BST)
 * I've removed protection on Template:Navbox IndustrialCraft 2 and Template:Navbox Steve's Carts. There are only a few other protected pages, and they all make sense. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  03:26, 17 June 2014 (BST)

Are you adding things from IC2 Experimental? If so, you or someone (could be myself) needs to change the Mod Maintainers list, so that it doesn't say that we aren't documenting IC2 Exp. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  19:06, 17 June 2014 (BST)

Yes, so really it does need changing. The old IC2 info is really kept on the IC2 Wiki, because no one has got round to updating it :D Chocohead (talk) Since it's now unprotected, I'll change it :)

Misuse of the 'Usage' Section
Hi Chocohead. Just to let you know, we don't add crafting grids in a Usage Section, don't we Paddy?... :(

At most we just link to the page the item or block is used in. Here is the page that I'm talking about: http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com/Raw_Carbon_Fibre

--RealSketch (talk) 20:05, 18 June 2014 (BST)RealSketch


 * Yup, Real is right. Please read the article creation guideline for more information. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  20:29, 18 June 2014 (BST)


 * Oops :S Chocohead (talk)


 * Actually you shouldn't even list recipes it is used in in the Usage section. Rather if the item's main purpose is to be crafted into something else, like raw carbon fibre into carbon mesh, you casually mention that in the description. Otherwise, you don't mention it at all.  R e t e p 9 9 8 Bunny Overlord•talk•contribs 00:35, 19 June 2014 (BST)


 * Is the usage section just for what the item can do on it's own then? Chocohead (talk)
 * The usage section is where you explain what it can do and how. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  02:37, 20 June 2014 (BST)

Don't worry about it, we were all newbies at one point...well, I still kinda am. :( Just remember for future reference. Also, new siggy! :D --RealSketch •Talk •Contributions 16:32, 20 June 2014 (BST)

IC2 and whatnot
Hey, you're doing great with IC2, and its related addons. Don't worry, I'm not here to complain. Seeing as (from what I've observed) you're writing articles correctly and racing through documenting IC2, do you mind doing the EU page for me sometime in the future. Seeing as I mention it on a few pages and the links provide no page -and you seem to know IC2 very well. http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com/index.php?title=Energy_Units&action=edit&redlink=1

I'll approve it as soon as you do it, as well as most other pages you edit. :) --  Real Sketch  •Staff •Talk •Contributions 21:13, 24 June 2014 (BST)

Immibis' Advanced Machines page
Hi. Would you mind rewriting the Immibis Advanced Machines page a little bit? It stops making sense in the second sentence. Thanks :P --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 21:00, 28 June 2014 (BST)


 * I'll have a look at it  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:40, 28 June 2014 (BST)
 * The bit that says "They only go up to 75% of what the Induction Furnace goes up to" doesn't make any sense. Other than that, thanks. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 17:33, 29 June 2014 (BST)


 * Ahhh, that bit. I'll rewrite it some more  Chocohead Nag • Additions  17:44, 29 June 2014 (BST)
 * Alright, so here's the problem with it, since I haven't been explaining it well. What it "goes up to" isn't actually explained at all, so the rest of the sentence means nothing. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 18:25, 29 June 2014 (BST)


 * Hmmmmm. I'll try saying it another way.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  20:09, 29 June 2014 (BST)

Templates
When you create a template, you must add it to the template list. Failure to do so goes against the template guideline. This isn't a warning, just please do follow this in the future. I've already added it to the list. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 21:11, 28 June 2014 (BST)


 * Oops :S  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:40, 28 June 2014 (BST)

Shapeless
I don't think we actually use the shapeless thing here. At least not that I can see. It's too vague in the picture, and doesn't actually show anything. IMO it's much better to just write "This recipe is shapeless." above the recipe. If someone were to make it so that |shapeless=true would write "Shapeless" on the top of the grid, that'd be awesome, but I doubt it'll happen. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 01:52, 30 June 2014 (BST)
 * We do use the shapeless parameter. --  Jin bo  bo  19:14, 4 July 2014 (BST)
 * No one uses it. It is so unclear what it means, and most people won't even notice it. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 01:19, 5 July 2014 (BST)

A barnstar for you!
How fancy, thanks :)  Chocohead Nag • Additions  19:44, 4 July 2014 (BST)


 * Lol, thanks for that edit just now. Feel free to correct any grammatical mistakes on any of my articles! :)
 * I'll approve them as soon as you do.

Explanation of something
"god knows what's wrong with the iron chest's icon though", the problem is that for some reason the Iron Chest is in the Vanilla tilesheet, rather than the Iron Chests tilesheet. So, when you set the mod param to IC, it looks for the IC tilesheet, rather than the Vanilla tilesheet, which uses V. See my sandbox for a visible explanation. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 01:32, 5 July 2014 (BST)


 * That makes sense, apart from the fact that it's on the vanilla tilesheet rather than the iron chests :S  Chocohead Nag • Additions  12:54, 5 July 2014 (BST)

A barnstar for you!

 * Wait what are we congratulating for? --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 19:25, 29 July 2014 (BST)


 * He fixes all my messups, grammar mistakes and most importantly, navbox major messups. :P
 * -- RealSketch •Staff • Talk   • Contributions  20:25, 29 July 2014 (BST)

Iron Chest tile
Please stop changing the mod parameter in various templates and such to "V". Eventually I'm going to (or make Retep) fix the Vanilla and Iron Chest tilesheet, so changing it is not productive. Thanks! --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 23:05, 3 August 2014 (BST)


 * Fine.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  01:21, 4 August 2014 (BST)

You might like this question
Do you want to join the wiki team? --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 23:26, 11 August 2014 (BST)


 * Sure, that'd be nice :)  Chocohead Nag • Additions  00:09, 12 August 2014 (BST)
 * There's a poll going on by the staff on the Project:Staff's Noticeboard. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 00:40, 12 August 2014 (BST)


 * Gee, you guys are nice :) What does being on the wiki team let you do that I already can't do now?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  00:59, 12 August 2014 (BST)


 * You'll be in new usergroups. Currently you are in Autoconfirmed users. You'll be added to Staff, Editor, Autochecked Users, and Reviewers. You can see their uses on Special:ListGroupRights. Additionally, you will have the +AVfrt flags on #FTB-Wiki on esper, the FTB Helper tag on TS, and have access to the hidden section on the FTB Forums. You will also have a much higher say in things that go on with the wiki. I asked retep if this sums it up, "Also in case shit breaks we get to blame him as the scapegoat" --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 01:08, 12 August 2014 (BST)


 * He'll be blamed quite a bit then. :P -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 01:16, 12 August 2014 (BST)

 * Yes, it is.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  19:27, 12 August 2014 (BST)

Noticeboard
Hey, I don't know how often you'll be checking your FTB forums account (and I just released you can't even see the hidden section yet :P), but can you drop by the Staff Noticeboard? Thanks, and welcome to the team. Hope you enjoy your stay. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 23:01, 12 August 2014 (BST)


 * I focus a lot on the IC2 forums, so I don't check FTB that much, but I'll at least visit more often now  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 23:07, 12 August 2014 (BST)

Image uploading
Please review your file uploads after they are uploaded. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 22:27, 17 August 2014 (BST)
 * They don't do that automatically? OK then.  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 22:31, 17 August 2014 (BST)

Non-FTB mods
As I can see here, IC2CA is not in any public modpacks. I talked to Jaded and Slow about non-FTB mods, and we (wiki staff) are supposed to be focusing on the FTB mods, and then the non-FTB mods. So, it's fine for IC2CA to be in the mod maintainer list, but until everything FTB is done, staff is not to document it, unless you made it. I'm bummed too, I wanted to document Better Dungeons :P. Also redlink mod pages aren't to be in the dropdown. I'll add it if there is a page for it. --  Satanic Santa Contribs •Administrator and Editor 05:07, 23 August 2014 (BST)
 * OK then. I'll make the main page for it, and maybe the navbox, but leave making the other pages.  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 12:40, 23 August 2014 (BST)

IC2 Fluids
I just looked at IndustrialCraft 2 Fluids to see how you set it up, and that's a pretty awesome and clever way of displaying each fluid in a specific mod. I like it. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 15:10, 29 August 2014 (BST)


 * It is awesome. It's so awesome, that it is now the standard for mods that add a lot of fluids. --  Satanic Santa Contribs •Administrator and Editor 18:16, 29 August 2014 (BST)


 * Gee thanks :)  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 19:57, 29 August 2014 (BST)

Uploading images
Did you know you can upload new versions of images without deleting the original? Crazy, I know, but it really helps to preserve the history so we can see how the file has changed.  R e t e p 9 9 8 Bunny Overlord•talk•contribs 20:47, 30 August 2014 (BST)
 * The only reason I deleted them was because it hadn't changed, I had just accidentally uploaded it twice :S  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 21:34, 30 August 2014 (BST)

stuff
Can you please create articles for the machines from the mods you work on linked on the template list? --  Satanic Santa Contribs •Administrator and Editor 14:17, 7 October 2014 (BST)

Texture issue
Hey, I'm having another texture issue linking steam machines to electric ones, this time in the High Pressure Forge Hammer page. It looks like it doesen't use the non existing GT machine texture, but the IC2 forge hammer tool, which is strange, since the GT machine is actually called "Forge Hammer", and not "Forge Hammer (GregTech)" or something like this. Can you fix it, please? --Gigas2897 (talk) 21:08, 7 October 2014 (BST)
 * There you go :) Just use |mod=GT if that happens.  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 21:11, 7 October 2014 (BST)


 * Well, already tried that, and the result is that the target page is "Forge Hammer (GregTech)", which does not exist... Maybe you can create a redirection page to solve this problem? I've seen this solution in several other pages, actually. --Gigas2897 (talk) 21:18, 7 October 2014 (BST)


 * Pretty sure you can put |link=Forge Hammer to get around that. Although I'll have to move the GT Forge Hammer page since IC2's Forge Hammer uses the same name, so it being Forge Hammer (GregTech) should actually be ok ;)  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 21:27, 7 October 2014 (BST)


 * Ok, should I put this "|link=Forge Hammer" in the page "Forge Hammer (GregTech)" page? If so, where exactly? --Gigas2897 (talk) 12:40, 8 October 2014 (BST)


 * No, it won't be necessary, but for future reference: would lead to Advanced Circuit (IndustrialCraft 2), so I'd so , and as you can see:  It links where it should ;)  Chocohead  Nag • Edits • Staff 16:03, 8 October 2014 (BST)


 * Oh, now I got it. I once asked Retep for the translation of the navbox and he told me that the first part is for the icon that has to be shown and the second is for the link. Everything here works like this, right? --Gigas2897 (talk) 17:25, 8 October 2014 (BST)


 * Kinda. You actually have to put |link=(then the link) for it to work, for example would link to the Redstone page still, but  would link to the Glowstone page.  Chocohead  Nag • Edits • Staff 17:32, 8 October 2014 (BST)


 * Ok, perfect, thanks man! :D --Gigas2897 (talk) 18:16, 8 October 2014 (BST)

AE2 Navbox
Thanks for assisting in fixing the links. However I was wondering if you could explain something in regards to your latest change:

eg. 	|list1=,<!--

Then became: |list1=,<!--

I have no clue what the 3= ~ is doing, and hope you might be able to explain what this function is doing. Wolfman-123- (talk) 14:21, 9 October 2014 (BST)


 * |3= is just a better way to use the third parameter in the NI template, so you don't need to have all 3 parameters (tilesheet name = 1, preferred link = 2, output name = 3). When in doubt read the documentation for that template. --  Satanic Santa Contribs •Administrator and Editor 14:36, 9 October 2014 (BST)

pls vote
Could you please vote on the Wolfman staff nomination on the noticeboard? Thanks. --  Satanic Santa Contribs •Administrator and Editor 18:19, 2 November 2014 (GMT)
 * OK then, is it because there's only 3 left? :P  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 19:46, 2 November 2014 (GMT)

Thermionic Fabricator
Thanks for making the edit for the Thermionic Fabricator recipe. I am kind of confused how the http://ftb.gamepedia.com/Feed_The_Beast_wiki:All_templates works. Whenever I try to use one I fail. Any tips or so? --Darklord987 (talk) 18:31, 26 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, the kinda key ideas are, you use to get normal items in a crafting grid, and put |mod=V for example to make sure that it uses the vanilla item. The list of all the prefixes is here: Template:G/Mods. If you do use |mod though, remember to use  instead of  so that the wiki knows you only want that item, and not any ore dictionary items that count as the same as that item. Tanks are a little harder, but generally it's just liquid amount and it should all work.


 * IMO, the best way to understand it is to go onto pages and look how it is done, and essentially just copy the way it's done there.
